Chapter Five

"Shit Michael wake the fuck up." I groaned, moving Michael by the shoulders.

"What Kenzie." he sleepily groaned, digging his head in the pillows.

"School starts in twenty minutes Michael get up, I need clothes."

"Go upstairs in my room and pick out clothes for yourself from my drawers." he said, still not moving from the pillows.

"You better be ready by the time I come back down here Michael."

I carefully stepped out of our tent and made my way to Michael's room up the stairs.

I walked into his rooms and found his dresser in the far right corner.

On the top of his dresser was multiple bottles of cologne and deodorant.

But something that caught my eye was a letter.

I hesitantly picked it up and my eyes began to read it, before my mind could say anything.

Michael,

I'm sorry.

We can't be together.

We're two different people

And I just don't love you

The way I used to love you

And it's not you -

"Kenzie are you almost done?" I jumped at the sound of his voice from downstairs.

"Two more minutes!" I yelled back.

I found a pair of gray sweatpants in his dresser (that were like five sizes bigger than me) and threw on a black sweatshirt.

I ran downstairs and met Michael at the door.

"You looked good in my clothes." Michael said as met him by the door.

"Good," I said, "because you should start getting used to it."

He smiled and shrugged as we both walked to his car.

The ride to school was silent, but it wasn't one of those awkward silences, it was comforting.

"And look where we are," Michael said as we both stepped out of his car, "Hell."

I snorted as we began to walk the front of the school.

"Kenzie!" I whipped my head to where the voice was coming from.

"Allie!" I yelled, hugging her tight, "Oh hey Brent." I said, acknowledging Allie's boyfriend.

"Who's this?" she asked, raising her eyebrows up and down.

"Please Allie not now, and you have a boyfriend." I told her.

"Yeah and he's such an ass at it too." she said, kissing Brent on his cheek.

"Love you too baby." he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Okay I'm going to go show Michael around okay bye use protection."

I grabbed Michael's hand and brought him to the main office.

I took Michael to the office and had him get his schedule.

"Alright. We have first, third, and fourth period which is lunch together." I told him.

"Great, I get to see you half of the day." he said with a cheeky smile.

"Whatever." I playfully teased.

"Michael!" I heard a feminine voice from behind us call.

Michael and I both turned our heads to the sound of the voice.
