Chapter 2
Getting To Know Each Other
Makenna
My alarm goes off loudly waking me up from dreamland. I get out of bed and brush the tangles out of my hair. I then go to my closet and pick out an a pair of skinny jeans, a black tank top, a grey hoodie. I get dressed and pull on my black converse. I grab my bag for school and go downstairs. I grab a box of Lucky Charms and the jug of milk. I pour myself a bowl of cereal and eat it quickly. I then leave the house and walk to school. When I get there I see Alana talking with my ex boyfriend Will and roll my eyes. She always seems to be around him lately. I then feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and see Alec.
"Hey Kenna." He says pulling me into a hug. I hug him back a small smile forcing it's way on to my face.
"Hey It's been so long since we talked." I say sarcastically.
"Right it's not like we talked on the phone for three hours last night." He says playfully.
"Psh no that didn't happen." I say hitting him lightly on the arm. We then walk into school in silence. It's not an awkward silence. It's actually kind of nice. I don't understand anymore though. It seems like all my friends are slipping away. Rebecca and Alana are the only ones who have stayed really and they seem to be drifting away. All of a sudden that weird rush of sadness rushes through me and all I want to do is be in my room blasting music so no one hears my crying, but I have to be at this school. I see Alec staring at me out of the corner of my eye.
"You alright there??" He asks.
"Perfectly fine." I say.
"Makenna what are you doing with that freak??" Alana yells to me. I look at Alec apologetically.
"He's not a freak!!" I yell back.
"Are you two dating?" She asks catching up to us.
"No we are just friends." Alec answers.
"I have never seen you talk to her before now. You probably know like nothing about her. If you are trying to just get in her pants you should leave now." Alana says.
"He's not!! Why can't he be my friend huh? What is wrong with him being my friend?? You always think the worst of any guy friend I make and they end up leaving me!!" I say angrily.
"Someone is on her period." Alana mutters under her breath.
"Just because I'm mad doesn't mean I'm on my period." I snap.
"Come on Makenna. Let's just go to our lockers and talk about how hanging out with this guy is social suicide." Alana says.
"How about you stop trying to tell me who and who not I should hang out with and Alec and I will go to our lockers." I say angrily.
"Bitch." Alana says under her breath. I grab Alec's hand and drag him to my locker.
"Some friend she is." Alec mutters.
"Alec I really don't want to talk about what just happened so drop it. So how did you sleep last night?" I ask changing the subject.
"Not well my stepmother and my dad were fighting. They don't fight usually. What about you?" He asks while stopping with me at my locker.
"Well I couldn't fall asleep until three in the morning and I kept waking up throughout the night and I had to get up at five. So to answer your question I slept like shit." I say grabbing my stuff for art. We both then walk over to his locker
"Well I'm sorry about that. So do you want to continue our conversation we had to cut short last night?" He asks.
"Sure." I reply feeling a bit happier no that it is just him and me.
"Holy shit you actually got James to talk to you." Some guy says.
"And who might you be?" I ask glaring at the guy in front of me.
"Cameron Blake. Alec's best friend. You are Makenna James. The happy girl who sees the best in everybody and loves everybody. A straight A student who is nice to everybody. You have had six boyfriends and have lost most of your friends because of being a bitch? Of course you wouldn't know who I am." He says acting like an asshole and then glaring at me.
"I'm gonna go to class Alec. I'll talk to you later. Sit with me at lunch?" I ask.
"Sure Kenna. We need to finish that conversation." He says with a small smile. I nod and then walk away to Art.
Alec
"Why did you have to be such a jerk to her?" I ask clenching my fists.
"Because we don't hang out with girls like her. She is kind of popular or was." Cameron says rolling his eyes.
"We dont. I do. Back off." I say grabbing my stuff for Biology and walking away from Cameron. I get into the classroom and sit in the back of the classroom. I don't really pay attention to the class because I'm texting Makenna under my desk.
A: Hey I'm sorry about Cameron. He really doesn't know what he's talking about.
M: It's alright Alec. I don't really care what he thinks about me.
A: Don't lie to me Kenna. I know it hurt you when he called you a bitch.
M: Okay it kind of hurt. Only because he was right. All those friends I lost was because I wouldn't let them in and I'm pushed them away. They always pestered me about stupid crap that I didn't understand.
"Mr. Williams hand it over." My teacher Mrs. Zalera snaps angrily.
A: Kenna we will have to talk more about this later. My teacher caught me.
"Now Alec!" Mrs. Zalera hisses. I turn my cell phone off and hand her my phone. "Next time I catch you texting in my class you will get a phone call home." She says and continues to teach the class. I pay attention the rest of the class and then at the end of class I go to Mrs. Zalera' s desk to get my phone.
"Can I please have my cell phone back?" I ask as politely as possible.
"Yes Alec, but I do not want to see you texting in my class again." She says handing me back my phone. I nod and leave the classroom. I walk to Makenna's locker and see her talking to her friend Rebecca. I walk over and Makenna hugs me.
"Can you get me out of this place?" She asks.
"Your asking me to ditch school with you?" I ask her raising an eyebrow at her.
"Yup." She says.
