Blurred Lines

Chapter 14

Nila refused to even look at Leila. For a whole week she kept it up. Leaving whenever Leila arrived, looking her way only to glare at her once or twice. Our group of friends noticed this of course, but thankfully didn't push the matter. As it turned out, Leila was bisexual and was secretly dating Maya, who didn't want anyone knowing about her sexuality which was why she was mad at Leila who appeared to be the initiator of the make out in the art studio. I really didn't see where the problem lay, especially Nila's. I never thought she of all people was a homophobe. The whole situation actually made me feel some sympathy for Dylan, which I hated.

I started noticing Keegan a lot more than I did before. Turned out he was in almost all my classes. I don't know why but his whole mysterious demeanor was really drawing me in. Guess I was a typical teenage girl. By the end of the week i had successfully figured out Keegan's 'schedule ' . One might be forgiven for thinking I was stalking him, but I maintain that I wasn't. On Thursday I finally went up to him as he was leaving and I invited him to our Friday 'hangout' at Nila's. I really didn't expect him to show up but it didn't hurt to try. When I asked him to come he scoffed and walked away from me.

I ran to Emmett's car so I wouldn't keep him waiting for too long. I was trying really hard not to think about our 'situation ' . I just pushed it to the back of my mind and acted cool. "What took you so long Win, you know I have to perform later, come on." Erm, so I may have forgotten about that. Emmett and his band did gigs at local pubs every other Thursday. I smiled bright and replied, "Of course, sorry I got held back by a teacher, let's be off." Emmett sighed and ground his teeth together, trying to control his anger as he pulled into the street. What's gotten into him! "We were in the same class remember! You left before I did, actually you ran out. I don't know what's happening, I thought you said we were cool?" Oops. I really need to work on my lies. I dont even know why i was keeping this Keegan thing a secret. I placed my hand on his shoulder and felt him tense. "I'm sorry Emmy, we are cool. And nothing's going on, I just had to do some stuff okay. Now let's go change so you can get your rockstar on!" He chuckled half-heartedly then glared sideways at me. " Don't call me that, i'm not a girl!" He said, pouting. I reached over and pinched his cheek. "You know you love it" i said laughing . He blushed and swatted my hand away. "I do not!" He said unconvincingly. He pulled up to my house and I got out waving, "See you in a bit, I'll drive myself to the show" he made a surprised face and said  "Little Winnie's growing up eh!" I rolled my eyes and ran up the steps after blowing him a kiss
