Rachael's POV
Two weeks past and I mainly stayed at home, ate, slept, and slept. Yep, Thats all I did. I couldn't go out otherwise Derek would find me, I hated that bastard. What he did to me was not right. I called Maria a couple of times, no answer. Was she like dating him? She was angry with me, thats all.
I have no idea why and for an odd reason I don't care what anybody thinks of me. Since... that night. I HATE DEREK!!! My mom noticed my strange habits,
"Is it Colby?"
"Don't even say his name!"
"Are you okay honey?"
"Yeah.. sorry... its just we were supposed to move!"
"I know, but didn't you want to stay here?"
"Mom, I HATE EVERYONE."
My mom was kinda like my best friend, but I couldn't tell her everything, like Derek. I had to be with him otherwise he would tell... .
My mom hugged me, "Whats wrong?"
"Nothing, just... Maria is acting weird." I lied. Well, it was kinda true.
Her phone began beeping, "I've got to go. Maybe we could talk later ok?"
"Yeah sure."
She left. My mom and I were close but my dad and I, never. He never talks to me and I don't think he cares. He came to my room at about noon.
"Oh.. hi.. you.. lunch is down."
Now was that hard to say? "I'm not hungry."
"Ah.. ok." He walked out. Seriously, what was his deal? He never talks to me since the incident.
My phone was ringing it was Derek, AGAIN! I DON"T WANNA TALK TO YOU! I made sure nobody was allowed in the house and my doors and windows were locked. YEAH, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE!
My phone rang about five times. On the one billionth time I picked up.
"WHAT?"
"Woah, I didn't know you were that mad at me. I'm sor-"
"Ma-Matt?"
"Yeah, who else would it be."
I sighed but then I remembered him and Maria, I wanted to tell him to go away but I was bored as hell! So I talked to him as if nothing happened.
"Oh ok.... What do you want?"
"Well, if its ok I wanted to talk about Maria."
"I don't-"
"Just let me talk for a second."
"One"
"Seriously! Two minutes."
"Ok"
"First off you can't be mad at me, I mean we were not even dating! And I would take back doing that with your best friend after telling you that I really liked you. See, I figured I just wanna be friends. You really like Derek, and I heard your staying. You should be with him. I - I um... still hope we could be friends."
"WAIT A SEC? YOu want me to be with DEREK?" Oh yeah he thought we were dating. Gosh I hate everybody. Matt liked me and I blew it! Darn... But still, I don't think I could date such a player and I guess we could be friends. I took all this time to realize I never really wanted Matt. BUT I HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM DEREK!, "We could be friends. But I gotta go now. Bye." I hung up.

Matt's POV
There was no way she was going to forgive me, plus she had Derek. I can't compete with that dude, he's an upperclassmen. Maybe, I could set things straight by asking for friendship. I still had this feeling, but hey I felt this way about all girls. I can't be tied down to one girl. I loved all girls.
I smiled at this and called up Catherine.
"Hey Cathy!"
"Hey big boy!"
"Hmmm.. I think its sexy how you say big boy baby."
"Haha... Do you wanna come over?"
"Not really."
"Then why'd you call?"
"I - I dunno, I gotta go.. bye."
What the heck was I doing. I was supossed to be hooking up with this hot girl, but it felt so, so wrong. It was weird. I went downstairs switched on the tv to get my mind off of things.
