CHAPTER XV

I smiled at Ashton, "Called it."

He raised his eyebrows, while Jack and Lennon exchanged looks. For a moment everything felt still, and silent.

"No you didn't." Ashton said, breaking through the silence. Jack and Lennon made weird faces at eachother then busted out laughing.

"What's so funny?" I looked at them, then over to Ashton, who looked just as confused as I did. I could almost make out the tears running down Jack's face. It made me smile, maybe even snicker for a moment.

"Y-y-you actually b-believed me?" Lennon spit out, in between laughs.

"Was I not supposed to?" He squinted his eyes and stopped laughing. The corners of his lips raised to an evil smile.

"Fuck you." I smiled.

"You know you want to. Unless," I put my finger upon my chin and looked up as if I was thinking. "you like men...." I saw Lennon get up and I knew he was coming after me. I grabbed Ashton's hand and took off running. I squealed the whole way down a huge hill I didn't even know existed. Jack stood at the top, laughing down at us. Lennon took a giant leap and rolled the whole way down. My body stopped him and he laid his torso across my legs. I twitched from his wieght.

"Damn. You a runner?" He sat up and felt my muscles. He must've felt them flex.

"Uh, maybe. Why do you care?"

"Because I can get you on the track team and lets see, you don't seem to have a busy schedule." I rolled my eyes.

"I don't run to compete. Actually, I don't run because I want to."

"Then why do you?" I looked around.

I couldn't tell him I ran in memory of my best friend who was murdered two days ago.

"To free my mind." I looked up and smiled. I knew she was watching. She was with me every moment, she would never leave me. We're in this together, that's what best friends do.

"I get it." He looked deep in my eyes. "To numb yourself. So you don't feel anything."

"Yeah, kinda." He smiled at me. I forgot Jack and Ashton were watching. As we were sitting there, two more pair of eyes laid rest on me.

"There you are!" Haylee yelled.

"Here I am." I said sarcastically, doing jazz hands.

"We've been looking for you for like, hours." Kylie said.

"We've only been here for a half hour." Haylee said. They sounded like two preppy best friends on the cheer squad.

"Lord, would you two shut up?!" Lennon yelled. He kicked me with his boot then apologized and helped me up.

"Hi, Lennon." Kylie said, obviously flirting with the poor guy.

"Hey Kylie." He wrapped his arm around her waist. Easier said than done. They walked off, leaving me, Jack, Ashton and Haylee.

"Girl, you have so much to tell me." I faked a smile and sat back down.

"Story time." Everyone sat down, making a small ring around me.
