Back For You (ON HOLD!!!)

Chapter 8: Carter

Carter

Things I am now completely sure of:

1. Darcy has a boyfriend.

2. I am no match to Chase Daniels.

3. I'm hungry.

5. And I am lost.

I quickly walked down the halls. I was gonna be late for lunch. Plus I'm hungry.  Spanish class was a bore. I promised Darcy I would sit with her and her friends at lunch.

I texted her but she didn't reply. Probably busy with Chase.

I kept walking, and I looked around. I'm in C Hall.

I thought I was alone when someone tapped on my shoulder. Thank God a teacher. I turned around and frowned instantly.

Missy McLean.

Could this day be any more unfortunate?

...Wait. Was she following me??

Oh no.

"Hi Carter! Welcome back! Do you still remember me? Missy McLean?" She said all flirty and annoying.

She makes herself so available to guys. That's why I don't like her.

I try not to.

She also ruined Darcy, so add that to the list of why I hate Missy McLean.

"Oh yeah! I think I remember you! Um, I think you were in my Spanish class in 7th grade!" I say, hoping I don't sound like I'm faking it.

I keep walking and i hope she got the memo that I didn't really wanna talk to her.

"And lunch!" She said excitedly.

"Speaking of lunch, I'm having mine right now and I'm really hungry and really lost. Could you show me the way to the cafeteria?" I ask politely as I possibly could.

"Oh sure of course!" She said. She grabbed my arm and pulled me around many rights and lefts I probably wouldn't have known how to go through if Missy weren't here. So, I guess she's a blessing in diguise.

When we reach the hallway leading to the cafeteria she stops me before I walk any further.

"Carter wait." She said suddenly more serious.

"What?"

"I know you still like Darcy."

I try to hide my astonishment. She's really straight forward.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I say calmly. "We're just friends. That's all we'll ever be because we don't think about each other that way."

"Cut the bullshit Carter, I can keep a secret." She rolls her eyes. "You don't have to deny it anymore but you do."

I try to walk away but she blocks my path. I realized she won't let me through unless I admit it.

"Okay fine. I like her okay? Can I go now? I'm hungry." I say impatiently.

"But she has a boyfriend." She says back.

Boyfriend.

I try to keep my calm. "Gee, thanks for stating the obivous Missy. Now if you'll excuse me, I am very hungry and I'm very upset." I try to push through but she still stops me.

"Dammit, what do you want? I say angrily.

"Okay, whoa chill."

"I'm hungry!"

"I just have one last thing left to say."

"What?" I roll my eyes.

"You might as well give up. Darcy is hard to get and Chase is her boyfriend."

"Wow thanks." I say sarcastically. But I really think about it.

"I mean it. I mean you might as well just find somebody else. It'll save the trouble." She says matter of factly.

Missy finally lets me through because she knows what she told me is stuck in her head. That's the thing about Missy McLean. If she tells you something she wants you to remember, you do. Missy is like that.

I walk through the doors and scan the cafeteria looking for Darcy and her group. I finally spot them when Darcy is waving at me. I smile and walk towards the table. I was focused on the table where they were sitting and I didn't realize I accidentally bumped into someone.

What the...

"Kathy?"

"Missed me Mason?" She grinned.
