Just a Hopeless Crush

chapter 4

   when I got home that night, I cried. I haven't cried since my mother died when I was 9, I didn't think I was every gonna cry after that, steff proved me wrong. I told duckie about everything that happened, from beginning to end. he really helped me, duckie always does.

   well, it's now sunday. two days after steff mckee absolutely broke my heart and my spirit. school was tomorrow and I was so not looking forward to it.

   I was pretty sure I was gonna have more attention than usual because of what went down between me and benny the whore, and I hoped steff wouldn't try to talk to me because I just can't handle that right now. I honestly don't know what I would say to him at this point. I fell asleep dreading the next day's events.

   I woke up, feeling like complete shit and wanting to just fake sick. but I knew that if I didn't show up, steff would know he got to me. on one side I want to show steff how much he hurt me and the other side just wants to show that I'm unbothered. either way is not a good idea anyways.

   I finished my usually morning routine before hopping in my car and driving to school. I could see duckie waiting for me, with a sympathetic smile on his face.

   I parked and jumped out, running to him to do our usual thing. but this time was different, this was the first time I saw him after what happened with steff, he wasn't able to see me yesterday because he had family matters to attend to.

   he held me a little longer and placed a kiss on my forehead that lasted a little longer, too. we walked through the front doors, with his arm slung over my shoulders as usual, when everyone stopped talking and looked at me.

   some looked at me with respect, others with disgust (those were benny's friends). we got to my locker ,after feeling like I was being put on trial or walking down the red carpet, and duckie just stared and smiled at me as I got my books.

   suddenly he looked behind me and his face fell, suddenly showing nothing but pure anger. he looked like he wanted to kill somebody!

   "ducks, what's the matter with you! are you ok?"

   he just nodded a little bit while still staring behind me. I finally looked in that direction and saw who was at the end of his death stare.

   there stood steff with blane and travis, all looking at the two of us. I have blane and travis a smile then turned back to duckie, who was still trying to kill steff with his eyes. I then grabbed him by the jaw, making him look me in the eyes.

   "ducks, don't do anything that you will get in trouble for. he isn't worth it, I'm fine! oh boy, I feel like I'm gonna need to keep an eye on you for the rest of the day!"

   he just gave a small smile and then leaned in to kiss me on my forehead, or so I thought. when duckie leaned in, he kissed me on my lips for no longer than 2 seconds. my eyes got really big as I watched him turn with a smirk and walk away.

   I stood there confused as hell! I knew duckie didn't like me, he likes andie. why in the hell would he kiss me? oooh, I see. I then turned and saw blane and travis with their jaws open and steff with a jealous and angry look on his face.

   I quickly turned around and slammed my locker shut, running towards where duckie is walking. when I caught up to him I turned him around and showed a "what the actual f@ck" face.

   "I know you saw the jealous look on steff's face, your welcome babe!"

   with that, he gave me another kiss, this time on the forehead. thank god! then he turned and walked to class. I stood there laughing a little and shaking my head. only duckie!
