The Relationship Curse

The Ride

Kenzie's POV

Another boring school day, the same clothes, same rou...KENZIE!!!..Cathy's screaming ruined my thoughts. I ran down to see what was going on. She was sitting in her car, trying to start it and there it was refusing to start. I don't understand why she called me, but I just stood there looking at her bickering about her car.

I walked back in to make breakfast. Just as I began frying  the bacon, I heard the screeching of a car. I looked out to see Maxim there to pick Cathy up. Maxim told me that Cason would pick me up for school.

What the hell Cason taking me to school ,why, what do I do. I ran up to see how I look, like everyday, the same shitty look, but I didn't care less. Just as I began going down for breakfast, I heard a car rolling up into the drive way, looking out of the window, I see Cason sitting there in his car. 'He's so hot' I thought to myself. He looks up and sees me peeking from the window, 'SHIT!' I jump back. 'Wow Kenzie, amazing start' I think to myself.

I ran down, picked up a piece of bacon, stuffed it in my mouth and ran out. There he was, a perfect piece, sitting in his G-wagon. I was so engrossed in looking at him that I missed a step and fell. Shit, embarrassment to another level, then I felt the touch of him. He was there helping me up. I could feel electric waves passing through me as he touched me.

The rest of the ride was so quiet and awkward, until he asked me what I'm doing on the weekend. I couldn't say a word the only thing that came out was a 'hmmm'. He laughed and just said never mind.

School was another boring day. I was enjoying my lonely day until I realised that the only ride home is with Cason again. Shit!. I was amazingly anxious for this ride.

I kept taking peeks at the clock. It was finally 3'o'clock, I quickly put my books in my bag and ran out. As I reached the parking lot, I saw Cason driving off with his gang. Maybe he forgot, maybe I never asked for the ride. I put my earphones on and decided to take a 5 mile run.

At around 7, when I was deep in my novel, I heard a knock at the door. I ran down, thinking it was the food delivery guy, but there he was,Cason . Cason was at my doorstep. He apologized for forgetting about me and offered to drive me to and from school tomorrow. I quite instantly agreed which I regretted as soon as I said it. He laughed at me, he probably thinks I'm some desperate girl. I was anxious for the ride.

Cason's POV

'I woke up to a note beside my bed in the morning' I explain to Max. It was from Maxim, it said
'Yo Cas go pick Kenzie from home          and take her to school'
I was so annoyed when I saw this note because honestly I didn't want a repeat of yesterday's ride, a quiet, boring awkward ride with a silly girl. I already was in such a bad mood because of our decision of not letting the other kids know I'm leaving until I get confirmation of the new school.

I had no option but to go pick her up. The real surprise I got was when I saw her glancing at me from her window and the funniest part was when she fell. The other girls are right she's quite a clumsy oaf. But Max like usual told me that my opinion about her was pure prejudice.

Today was Thursday, and thursday meant gang outing. Like usual, all of us had the last period free and we usually chucked 5 minutes earlier so that we could hit the road and go wherever we want to. We did the same today. Halfway through our ride I realised I was supposed to drop Kenzie home. I thought of it and then believed that I had just made a mistake. I felt guilty but just due to humanitarianism and nothing else. I knew she would have found her way back but I decided to go check on her once we were back.

At 7 when I finally reached home, I walked up to Kenzies place to check on her. I knocked at her door, in a few minutes she opened it, there she was in her pyjamas, she actually looked pretty for some reason. I said sorry to her and offered to drive her to and from school tomorrow. She agreed before I even finished asking her. I laughed said goodnight and left. I was anxious for tomorrows ride.
