Why'd you leave me?

Chapter 3

It's Monday again. WOOHOO. Did you catch that sarcasm? Good. I can't really be bothered going back to school, especially not after what happened at the weekend. I can't believe I was about to kiss Pete, it's the craziest thing I still can't wrap my head round it, I mean did I like Pete? He has been there for me my whole life, we know everything about each other n I hate to admit but sometimes when he puts his hand on my shoulder or something I do feel a little tingle but that didn't mean any thing, I don't think. After me and Pete nearly kissed, he disappeared again and went back to not answering my texts, I figured I would leave him until I seen him again today at school.

I slowly got out of my bed and dragged my limp body to the bathroom where I washed my face and brushed my teeth, as I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe the state of my hair, it was sticking up in various different directions. I then walked over to my dresser to decide what I was going to wear today, I picked out a pair of my light wash mom jeans, a dark green long sleeve top and a plain black t-shirt that I was going to wear over my green top to give me that edgy look. I accessorised my outfit by putting on a black belt that had a yellow butterfly print on it and I threw on my favourite Vivienne Westwood necklace that I wear nearly every day. I sat down next to my mirror and simply brushed my long blonde hair, I couldn't be bothered doing anything fancy with it so a quick brush was just gunna have to do. My skin was looking okay today for a change so I just swiped some mascara onto my lashes and put some lip balm on my plump lips to make it look like I made some effort.

I made my way down the stairs, grabbed an apple, slipped on my Air forces and said goodbye to my loved ones before I put in my earphones and headed out the door, it was a really nice morning so I decided to walk to school. Usually I would get a lift with Pete but seeing as he wasn't replying to me I figured he wasn't picking me up and I was right, as soon as I walked through the gates I noticed Pete sitting in his car bonnet with all his stoner friends.

I made my way over to them because I really had to speak with Pete to see what's going on and what us nearly kissing meant. As I approached nearer to them all the guys smiled at me and said hi, I politely said hi back, then Pete looked up and locked eyes with mine,

"Hey Char" He said in a very cool, laidback tone, I gave him a weak smile and turned around to talk to the boys, asking how their weekend went, all their answers were roughly the same, they hooked up with girls or they were too stoned to remember anything from the weekend. Classic. The bell went meaning that school had started, all the guys walked away, leaving me to speak to Pete alone.

"What happened at the BBQ Pete? we nearly kissed and you decided to go MIA again what's up with that?"

"We nearly kissed? Man how high was I? I cannot remember that" Pete replied, not even looking me in my eyes. Damn that hurt. He noticed that he hurt my feelings, he hated seeing me sad.

"Hey I'm sorry about what happened at your BBQ right? I didn't mean to fuck things up. I just had to get away, loose myself for a bit. Promise from now on I won't pull any of that patching shit on you again."

"It's okay, you didn't miss much anyway, except Ricky nearly burning the house down, man he sucks at cooking" I said with a little giggle, Pete stood up and gave me a hug, he really meant that he was sorry, I wrapped my arms around his waist. The hug lasted for a little longer than any of us expected, I let ago of him and playfully punched his shoulder,

"Cmon loser, we're going to be late for History" I said whilst dragging him into the school building.

I'm really glad that we are cool now, but I cant help but think about when we almost kissed, it obviously didn't mean anything to him as he can't even remember it. I Probably don't even like him that way, its just my hormones playing with my brain.
