Bad Timing

Chapter 12

Kyle's Pov

Every person has a purpose in life whatever that means... Other people believe that their purpose is to make their dreams a reality. I never thought that my dreams are going to become a reality because my purpose once upon a time was to bring proud to my family. I guess, though, destiny had other plans. I got lost and what I thought doesn't matter anymore because since then I've always gotten what I wanted. It made me feel above all and now I don't think there is anything in my future and that's why I deserve what is going to happen after that bet...

I hadn't spoken to Angel for two weeks, now. I just couldn't look her in the eyes. I have another week to finish this bet but I don't think the timeline counts anymore because its purpose changed...

After that night, the only thing I can remember is of her lips and her piercing blue eyes. Even the teasing I got from her because of my fear of heights.

 What's wrong with me?

All those weeks I tried to avoid her because if I didn't, nothing would have ended well. I can't fall for her. I just can't, it would be harder for me to let her go.

She even tried to approach me a few times but just the sight of her, looking at me with her beautiful wide blue eyes... I just couldn't....

The thought of her getting heartbroken by me hits me every day. I'm such a jerk and guilt chases me everyday. I know John is going to take care of her as he promised, but I can't take it and I don't know why.

Angel is not my girlfriend. She is not my friend. I barely know her that much but I still can't bear the thought of hurting her.

"It's because you like her, idiot!" said the voice in my head.

No it can't be...

The thought of how she laughs, how she walks, how she talks to me with that snappy attitude makes it even worse for me.

I needed to be away from her for a while to think. Sooner or later, I'll have to explain and that day is today.

I found Alex in the hallway, trying to put her books in the locker. Fortunately, Angel is not with her...

She probably was in the library. I noticed her going there every day before lunch.

Every day.

I approached Alex and touched in her shoulder.

"Hi Alex." I waved as she turned around. She gave me an angry look and hit me hard on my arm.

"Hey! Was that for?" I whined.

"Umm I don't know maybe the fact that you ignored my best friend and me for two weeks and now you come and you just say 'Hi', like nothing happen? Are you kidding?!" She stated frustrated.

 I rubbed my neck with the back of my hand and tried to find the words to respond. How do you explain this mess?

She rolled her eyes and waited for my response.

"Look, I will get to the point. Can you give this to Angel?" I said as I passed her a piece of paper, feeling sorry for myself.

She was unsure on taking it or not. Calm down sis. It's not a bomb.

"I hope you have a good excuse about all this or else..." she stated.

"Look, I know she doesn't want to talk to me, but it's important I need to explain myself to her. Please give it to her. I will tell you everything, I promise." I said cutting her off.

She raised her head and an understandment passed through her eyes.

"Fine, I will." she signed.

"Thanks" I said relieved.

"No problem" she said. "Ohh and Kyle if you even think on hurting her again, I swear you are going to regret it." she warned.

"I won't." I lied and turned around to headed towards the court.

What am I doing? Why am I doing this? I'm a idiot...

"Because you gave a promise to John." Said the voice in my head.

What if I don't want to keep that promise?

On the way there, I ran into Jo.

Speaking off...

"Hey." he said smirking.

"Hey..." I signed.

Why is he smirking?

"So, how it's going with Angel? I noticed you two hanging around." I asked as if it didn't bother me.

The thing was that every time I saw them hanging around, I felt anger running in my veins and I couldn't explain it. Kyle, stop being so selfish it's going to happen anyway...

"Umm.... nothing special and it won't happen anything until...you know. She likes you a lot. I can tell, every time I talked to her, she was always looking around for you. She totally ignored me." He said with an irritated face.

 I felt a smile rising in my lips. She was looking for me. God...This is messed up.

"Yeah...well be patient I'm going to meet her after school, so..."

"You told me this morning. I got go, see you" he said dismissing me and left.

As I went to the court, my coach instructed me to do speed for about twenty five rounds.

I took my shirt off, wore my snickers and started.

I was so stressed and angry at the same time that I ended up doing more than twenty five. Coach had left and I was the only one in here.

My feelings are confusing me. Angel is the only thing that I can think off.

She is running in my mind every minute since I almost kissed her.

Keyword: almost.

Imagine if I did how the situation will be even more messed up than already is.

I heard the bell ringing but I ignored it and continued running.

After a couple of minutes I turned around and there she was with her beautiful blonde side braid and staring at me with her wide blue eyes.

I gave her a shy smile and she smiled back at me. I approached and got out the court.

"Hey." she said with trembling lips making me I feel the need to touch her even more.

My heart is beating fast. What's wrong with me?

Why do I feel nervous around her?

This is it. It's now or never.

I'm sorry Angel...
