The New Kid

Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

"Ken where did Kyle go?" I asked,barging into his office...tears still running down my face.

"I'm not sure...I just heard his car engine speed off. Why? What's wrong babe?" He said,looking through some papers in a folder.

"Nothing...I just HAVE to talk to Kyle now!" I yelled,closing the doors to Ken's office,walking into the living room and pulling my phone out of my back pocket.

"Hey this is Kyle,sorry I didn't answer...Well,you know the rest. Peace." UGH. answer your damn phone Kyle Andrew Smith!!

I continued to call about 15 more times before giving up. Our parents still weren't back from dinner yet, there was no telling where the went. Our parents were very wealthy,they could have flown to another country for all I know. Especially if it was just Kim & my mom. They could definitely do some damage with any amount of money. So I thought about it and finally decided to stay at the Smith's tonight.

I walked through the dark street to my house,grabbed some clothes and walked back over. I sulked up stairs and threw my stuff into my room. Well...the guest room I guess, but I stayed here so much it was practically mine.

I heard a small knock on the door,even though it was open. I turned around hoping it was Kyle,but was kind of disappointed when I saw Chase "Meg...dad said you were crying,wanna talk?"

I ran up to Chase and gave him the biggest hug possible,crying all over his North Ridge Basketball shirt (he was a champ back in the day.) I stood in Chases arms for what seemed like forever. Finally I looked up at him,still wrapped in his arms and started to let it out. "Chase I don't know where he is! I called him and texted him and everything and he wont talk to me! I feel so bad,he poured his heart out to me and all I had was tears!! He didn't give me time to say anything! I need to find him!" I breathed hard,crying even more.

"Shhh," Chase pulled me close, "Breathe. It's okay...I know I know." Chase was so comforting.

"But chase you don't know!! You don't understand,he told me he lo--" I pleaded, wanting him do badly to understand, but he cut me off.

"Babe,I know exactly what you're talking about. Kyle finally told you how he's felt for the past 16 years. I'm his brother,I know a lot of things you don't. Surprisingly." he let out a small laugh,"y'all are best friends. I'm shocked you haven't noticed how he felt. I'm pretty sure everyone else has...but,enough of that...you need some sleep. It's late." I looked down at my phone and realized it was now 12:30. I had completely lost track of time. "C'mon..."

Chase set my clothes on the floor and laid me on the bed,under the blankets. He kissed my forehead,turned off the lights and walked out of the room.

---------------------------------------

I walked into school the next morning exhausted,I had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep. I just had so much on my mind,sleeping wasn't an option.

"Woah, sorry but...you look like crap..." Kelsey walked up to me. I guess she was right,I had Victoria Secret yoga pants on with PINK written across the butt in silver sequins & one of Kyle's old football shirts on. My hair was also in a messy bun...and to top it off,I had absolutely no make up on.

"Haha,yeah...I kinda had a crappy night." I shut my locker and we walked off to class.

"...I can tell. What happen?" Just as Kelsey and I walked into home room I spotted Chance,Kyle and Zayn. None of them making any kind of interactions with myself or each other. Just sitting in their seats,they were the social ones in class so the room was completley silent without them. I immediately felt my heart drop,and a tear sprinted down my face.

Thank goodness Coach Jones had given us a free day. I explained everything to Kelsey,trying so hard not to cry the whole time. But of course that didn't work,and by the end of class I was so thankful I didn't have any makeup one. Because honesty,it would be ruined.

"Oh. My. Gosh. What are you gonna do?" Kelsey was so shocked.

"I don't know...but tonight I think I'm gonna go talk to Zayn,kinda apologise." I said as the bell rang.

"Well that's a start." Kelsey said,gathering her things.

Just as we were leaving I grabbed Kelsey,"And could you kinda tell Kaci? I don't really want to have more tears today.." I asked

"Of course." Kelsey answered sympathetic. She gave me a small hug and left.

---------------------------------

"Well,looks like someone had a WONDERFUL weekend." Kaci said,hugging me tight. I felt tears coming from my face. No,I couldn't cry any more. I've cried enough. "I'm sorry..."

"Ha,if by wonderful you mean dreadful,horrible,miserable...then yes,very wonderful." we both let out a small laugh as we walked to our usual lunch table. Crap,I had completely forgotten that Zayn, Kyle & I all sit at the same table. This would be fun.

Kaci noticed my worry and gave me a little nudge signalling,'go on,it's ok.' I gave her a small smile & started to walk to the table. We walks up & Zayn, Kyle & Kelsey were already sitting down. I caught Kelsey's eyes and tried to look hopeful.

"So how lame was Coach Jones homework this weekend? I mean, homework on the weekend? Whatever." Kelsey tried to start conversation,but I clearly didn't work. We just all sat in silence.

--------------------------------

During 9th period, the last class of the day, I finally got the guts to text Zayn.

'Hey...can I come over today?' some part of me hoped he'd say no, so I didn't have to face him. But all the rest of me begged him to say yes.

'Sure. But I can't guarantee I'll be there..' that wasn't the reply I was hoping for, but atleast he replied.

'Im coming at 5. Be there,please.' I didn't want to sound vulnerable, but it was so hard not to when I really was. I needed to look in his eyes,tell him my kiss with Chance meant nothing.

---------------------------------

I got home about 4. Kaci had to drive me home, because there was no way I was gonna get in a car with Kyle anytime soon.

When I got home I grabbed Oreos & peanut butter, my favourite snack. I also had a very deep conversation with my mom about what had happened, which ended in endless tears.

"Well,I'm going to Zayn's..." I told my mom as I put my food away,wiped my tears and grabbed my bag.

"Who's taking you?"

"Chase...he's probably waiting outside now." I said opening the door,"wish me luck."

-------------------------------

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Chase looked me in the eyes full of worry.

"Yes,I messed up now I have to fix it. No more tears for me,I'm going in there with total confidence!" I really wasn't as ready as I sounded...inside, I was broken.

"K...I'm staying right here,in case anything happens. Alright?"

"Mhmm,let's do this thing!"

I gather my witts and rang Zayn's doorbell, I figured no one was home due to the fact no one answered it...so I walked in. They always hid a key under the welcome mat,classic.

I quietly walked up the stairs and stood next to Zayn's door,I could hear him inside...assuring he was home. 'You can do this,you're ready. Nothing can stop you.' I told myself. I breathed hard and opened the door.

"Hey Zayn can we--" I was cut off by my own gasp.

It was Zayn,but not just Zayn. It was Zayn and Shelby...making out. This was my 'nothing' and 'nothing' COULD stop me.
