It All Started With One Stupid Mistake

Chapter 9: Where is he?

Kelly's POV

To say this week was full of drama is a drastic understatement. My friends and I aren't as close as we use to be because Zach's always in and out of our usual circle and Chelsea has different classes from mines, which are actually harder than mines so sometimes she skips lunch so she can finish graded assignments.
Which leaves me alone. Today's Friday and I'm on my way to the cafeteria alone, because Zach's no where to be found and Chel got a chemistry quiz in third period so she's studying in the library.

Pretty sad, right?

Speaking of sad, I haven't seen Jaquani since Monday.
That's odd.
Our assignment officially starts next Monday with that stupid fake baby and both parents should be on baby duty for the first two weeks then it will be switched to occasional turns maybe weekly or every other day; our choice.

I didn't want to admit it, but i feel like I miss him.
Just a itsy, bitsy, little bit.
He is definitely annoying, don't get me wrong, but he's a pretty good company too.

I grabbed my lunch and decided to eat outside in the school's garden that has a couple benches for the students to sit on, either to study while enjoying nature or just to sit and eat in a calmer environment than the cafeteria.
My school's not exactly strict and uptight like some other schools, it's pretty laid back, but break like a serious rule, like spray painting the lockers and you'll definitely be suspended without a second thought.
That might still be a bit harsh to some people, but eh.

I had my lunch then just sat and reminisce on all that happened this week, especially what happened Tuesday with Zach.
I still don't know who he was going on about, at one point in time I thought it was me but then I actually cracked up at that thought, because I'm sure he doesn't like me like that.

But what if he does but he just didn't say anything!?
No, that can't be it.
But what if it is??

Urgghhh all of this is just so frustrating. About a minute later, the bell rang and it was time for third period. I got up, threw away my garbage and made my way to my maths class.

~~~~~~~~~~
Math class flew by rather quickly. We started a new topic in simultaneous equation, the substitution method and I honestly think it's not hard. Others would strongly disagree and I think that's either because they are narrow minded or they just didn't try to understand it.

I was walking down the hallway, on my way to drama class when I was shoved in the locker by none other than the school's Queen Bee, Ashley.

Wow, Wonder what great deed I've done to deserve this honor?
Pssh, honor my a**.

"Well, well, what do we have here, the school's biggest bitch" she said with an evil smirk.
"I'm the school biggest bitch?, wow, such strong accusations coming from the girl, who every guy here has slept with" I replied with my own smirk.
Her face slightly turned red and she came closer to my face, basically gritting out the words, "Stay away from him, he's mines! Besides, your not even his type!"

I was going to ask her what she's talking about when it dawned to me she was going on about Jaquani.

I chuckled lightly, "Really Ashley?!, this is about Jaquani?, pssh, you can have him for all I care. I don't even want him." I said to her bluntly.

"You are such a liar, I know you like him, I see the way your stupid face lights up whenever he comes around you. But I'm just going to say this, one last time, stay away from him!"she whisper-yelled and walked away.

Seriously? Was I suppose to be threatened by that?
She's such a pathetic bitch, I'm sure Jaquani hasn't even noticed her.
What if she's right though?, what if I really do like him?
Naah.

I entered drama class, Mr Williams gave me a look that screamed, 'you're late, don't let it happen again', before he turned around back to the class and I ran over to my desk.
Chelsea and I used to have drama together, that is, sophomore year, but she switched from drama to do physics since she's a science geek.

I talk to a few of the girls in here who aren't snobby or anything that is a characteristic of Ashley and her minions' personality.

Girls like, Chloe, Brianna, Jada, Gabrielle and Zoey, but mostly I talk to Chloe and Gabrielle.
I look around for them but I only see Chloe and Brianna. Chloe was on my right, at the front of the class while I was more towards the back.
I wanted to sit with her and catch up, but she was too far away.
Mr Williams said something about going out for about ten minutes, and that we should start working on our skit, on Culture.
Chloe turned around, saw me, and made her way to the seat beside mines.
"Hey Kelz" she said with a warm smile.
"Hey Chloe" I replied, giving her a small smile in return.
"Haven't seen you around much, seeing that we only share this class, how are you?"she said genuinely curious.
"I'm fine, I guess" I told her.
She raised one of her eyebrows and said, "That doesn't sound like someone who's 'fine', what's up Kelz?" she inquired.
"Chloe, have you ever felt as if you don't know what you feel towards someone?" I asked but started to regret it because it sounded kinda stupid.
"So this is about a guy?" she said, with a small smirk.
"I never said it was a guy" I said breaking eye contact with her.
"But it is. Yes, I have felt that way, and it turned out to be that, I liked him but I was in denial because I didn't want to be judged by my friends or the other people here at school."

Hmm, wonder if that's what I'm doing...

"Look Kelly, you shouldn't care what people will think about your decisions, instead trust your instincts and listen to what your heart is telling you" she said to me, giving a small smile.
"Thanks Chloe" I replied
"Anytime love, now let's start working on that skit and see how far we can get." she said.
I nodded and we began working with four other girls, including Brianna.

Follow my heart, trust my instincts...
Will that really do me any good?

And that's a rap!
Ik this chapter was a bit lame but I promise the others will be better.
What do y'all think? Is she really going to see where she and Jaquani will go or will Zach be back in the picture, in a more intimate way?
Hmm, only time will tell😏😋

Love,
Keddy❤
