A Match Like No Other (Chase Davenport Love Story)

Chapter 14

I couldn't sleep for the past few nights, and if I did if was only for a couple of hours

My mind was still wrapped around the moving in with my birth family thing

I love them, don't get me wrong but... I've known this family for as long as I can remember, I don't know if I want to leave them yet

But I also don't want to hurt their feelings, I groaned in frustration as I took one of the pillows on my bed and covered my face with it

I heard the roaring of an engine outside, not again...

I tossed the pillow off my face and hopped up from my bed, looking out the window and seeing our new noisy neighbor with his stupid car continuing to drive up and down the street

I groaned and placed my head on the cool window

I just wish things would be a little easier

When we got to school, we saw Leo at the very front of the line. Today was Locker Reassignment Day, and knowing Leo, he wanted to get the best locker

"Leo, how'd you get to be first in line for locker reassignments?" Chase asked him when we walked up to him

"Oh, since I couldn't get any sleep, I've been here since dawn. FYI, you do not want to see the lunch ladies without makeup." Leo told us.

"Wait, they wear makeup?" Bree asked surprised and Leo nodded his head. I heard Adam walk up behind me so he could listen to the conversation.

"But since I'm first in line, I'll finally get the corner locker." Leo said.

"Wait a second. I thought this was the line for lice check?" Adam said. He made a face when he realized he was wrong and then walked away from us. Leo looked over at the corner locker and stared at it dreamily.

"There she is. Locker 106. Away from the traffic, near the cheerleaders, and I can see Principal Perry before anyone else. And a two second head start could save a life." Leo pointed out and Bree, Chase, and I all agreed with him.

As Bree and Chase walked off, I spoke, "I'm going to the library. I wish you luck in your locker adventure!"

I lied

I went outside to the courtyard and sat by a bench under the tree out front, when I sat down I put my head in my hands

I can't believe I'm skipping class for this, with no excuse, but I can't wrap my head around this situation

Move in with my parents and abandon my family that raised me when I had no one?

Or disappoint my family by making them think I don't love them

I groaned, I just wanted to scream, or cry

Maybe both

I stood up, grabbing my things and walked to the nurses office, I looked at her a nodded as she opened the secret entrance to mighty med

I left my bag with her and stepped through to Mighty Med, this time without a suit on me

Just my normal clothing

"Please be here..." I mumbled, walking around the counter to hear someone hit their head on the counter

"Stupid counter!" He cursed, I smiled

"I don't think the counter meant it," I mentioned, then Kaz popped up from under the counter with a surprised look on his face

"Scarlett?" He asked, I had a small smile

"Can we talk?"
~~~~~~~~~
"Wow," Kaz spoke as I finished, not the response I expected

"I just... I don't know what to do. And I wanna know what you would do if you were in my situation," I asked, turning towards him
