I wake up the next morning to the sound of my alarm. I really don't feel like going to class today. I get out of bed and get ready anyway. By the time I'm ready the girls are still asleep. I grab an apple before leaving and going to Samantha's office. I don't know if she will be in yet but oh well. I knock on her office door and to my surprise she's in.
"What can I help you with Kaden" she asks as she lets me in
"I was wondering if you could get me the week off. Like could my teacher send me work and I can do it from my dorm" I ask
"Sure I could have something arranged. You can't avoid him forever you know" she says
"I'm not avoiding him I'm avoiding the awkwardness in the group. Plus I want this time to myself so I can over think everything" I say
"You know that's never good" she says
"The quicker I get done with the overthinking the sooner I can start to consider their being and 'us' again" I say
"Ok, whatever works for you" she says
I say thankyou before I leave and get back to my dorm. The girls are up and getting breakfast by now. I sit on the sofa and start to watch tv. The girls come over and watch tv with me until the boys get here.
"Is that new" Jordan asks looking at my hoodie
"Yeah I got it yesterday" I say looking at Payton "Oh by the way I'm working from here all week so I won't be in lessons" I say
"Ok" Maddie says as they walk out
Soon enough I get my work and I start doing my work. I listen to music and get most of it done within the first three hours. I take a break at break and watch tv, I start work again when lesson starts and by lunch I've finished my work for the day. At lunch I go to the cafeteria and get food, I see everyone and go sit with them. I sit next to Jordan.
"How has you day been" Maddie asks
"Boring, I've done all my work for the day so I might take a nap when I get back" I say
"Wish I could take a nap" Liam says
Payton has his air pods in and doesn't listen. He doesn't say much through out lunch. I hate seeing him like this even though I know I'm partly the reason he's like this. At the end of lunch the bell goes and I catch up with Liv, I haven't really spoken to her since I spoke to her in the kitchen.
"I just want you to know that I'm over it" I say "I never hated you or whatever I was just pissed off about everything" I say
"Its ok, I get why you would be. I really am sorry and I know Payton is" I say
"I know but there are a few thing I need to get over before I think about Payton" I say
I let her go back to her lesson and I go to my dorm. Truth is I have always feared getting cheated on, even with Kai. My dad was having an affair with someone at work before he got fired and I found out later while he was drunk. Another issue my dad gave me what a shock. I guess I never got attached so it couldn't happen and when I finally did it happened.
(Thursday)
I finished my work before lunch yet again. I've been going to lunch with everyone everyday this week. Payton seems better everyday. When I get back from lunch I watch tv and wait for last lesson to end. When the bell goes I go straight to Samantha.
"How have you been Kaden" she asks as I sit down
"Good, like I said I've done a lot of thinking. I forgave Liv and I got to the root of my trust issues, of course they're cause by my dad" I tell her a little more about that
"How about Payton, how do you feel about that" she ask
"The same, I still like him but I have that gut feeling like I shouldn't trust him. I never listen to it and honestly I don't want to. I would have probably forgiven him by now if it wasnt for the fact that he needs to know that he cant mess with me and get away with it" I say
"Trust me he knows. He came to see me yesterday" she says
"Wait really. Why, what did her say" I question
"I cant tell you and you know that. Just know he regrets it a lot, he said he would do anything to have you back" she says
"Anything" I say with a smirk
"Kaden dont even think of doing anything. I know you play everything off as a joke but your not the only one hurting. I know what he did hurt you but losing you hurt him" she say
"He hasn't lost me, I'm still and always will be his friend and I still love him I just cant tell him" I say
We talk about the normal thing like how my day went. After two hours I go back to my dorm, I get a snack and go to my room. I watch tv while I wait for Payton.
"KADEN" Liv shouts and I come out of my room "Payton here" she says letting him in
"Lest go" I say and we go to my room
I get my laptop and sit on my bed and Payton sits at my desk. He gets the printed power point out and I get it up on my laptop. We go through and change a few of the slides and swap a few around. We decide on who's going to be talking about what.
"Have you got a USB stick" I ask
"Yeah why" he asks
"Because we need to put it on their so we can present it and I don't have one" I say
"Seriously, how do you not have one" he half laughs
"I don't know, I never needed one" I say and he hands me his. I download the file. "I'll keep this because knowing you you'll lose it" I say
"I've had that for four years I'm not going to lose it" he says
"Well now we need it you probably will knowing my luck" I say
"Ok, lets go get dinner" he says looking at the time.
We go down to the cafeteria and meet everyone there. After dinner I go back to my dorm, I have a shower and get ready for bed.
