Kevin's point of view ;)
Kevin.
He couldn't be falling for Scarlett. But he was and he couldn't help it.
She looked so sad when she said that no one was there to take care of her like she felt as if no one cared about her.
He knew he would get into trouble for skipping school but it was worth seeing her smile. Why did he like her anyway?
He could get any girl he wanted, in fact, on his first day more than half the girls at the school had given him their numbers.
Instead he chose to like a girl in the entire school who wasn't interested in him and a girl who was still (he thought) in love with her ex.
What was up with that anyway?
She'd never tell and even if he'd ask, she'd just burst into tears and be real sad afterwards.
God job Kevin you know exactly which girl to fall for.
He guessed that maybe that's why he liked her; because she wasn't craving his approval and she wasn't scared to disagree.
Suddenly his phone started ringing.
"Kevin, why didn't you come to school?" it was James his friend.
They studied together in Redville high but he moved here just a year ago. Kevin was glad that he had a none snobbish friend but James was a jock which meant he had to sit at the 'popular table' and since Kevin was new he had to sit with James and the 'popular people' kissed his ass just for his approval.
God he hated that.
"Uhh I got sick."
"Lie. Hey Scarlett wasn't here either..." James said slowly "Is something going on?" He asked mischievously.
"You know Scarlett?" Kevin raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah she's my detention buddy-ish whatever, we talk at detention every day, she's pretty cool, doesn't like to talk to us during school hours though I don't know why, says it makes her "uncomfortable""
"Wait you're in the detention group too? How come I didn't see you during Friday's detention then?"
"Oh yeah I skipped that because I had to go to Cassidy's party."
"Who?"
"Dude Cassidy, the popular girl who all the girls follow around?" Oh her name's Cassidy
"Oh."
"God I can't believe you don't know her she invited you too didn't she?" he asked. He remembered her asking him something but he wasn't listening.
"She might've I don't know."
"Ok enough about Cassidy, let's talk about Scarlett. Tell me is there something going on?" he asked slyly.
"Nothing is going on I just went to her house to take care of her." He said.
"And you say nothing is going on."
"As friends James, I went as a friend."
"Do you like her?"
"I mean I think so she pretty cool and she is pretty and assertive."
"I'd never thought I'd see a day when Kevin Waterson would fall in love." James smirked.
"Shut up it's not love, it's like. Plus I don't think she likes me so there's no use anyway." He sighed.
