Working With The Devil.

Chapter fourteen - Can of milk.

I rub my eyes as I reread the text that Kelly had just sent me.

Kelly – Hey, can u meet up with me in the parking lot.

I had just gotten to school. I was in the usual corner that my friends and I hanged out before class started.

Me – What for?

Why did she want to talk to me now? Don't me wrong, I know hiding that dad called was wrong but she didn't have run away from home.

Kelly – I need to talk to you. It's important. Are you coming or not?

I was still debating on my answer. I was about to type an answer when "Boo." A voice screams in my ear.

"Ahhh." I jump. I look behind to see Carter dying of laughter.

"You should have... your face-" He manages to say as he continues laughing.

"Haha, that was so funny," I say sarcastically as I glare at him.

"I don't know Kate, it seems really funny to me." Liz agrees with Carter and she laughs too. So did everyone. Honestly, I kind of forgot they were there, and now that I knew I was more mortified.

"Did you really have to tease me this early in the morning?"

"It doesn't matter what time it is, this is my favorite thing to do." He says with a small smile.

I just scoff at him. He was so annoying. I suddenly remember about Kelly and quickly text her that I would meet her there.

"So I have to go," I say a few seconds later.

"Where to?" Caleb asks with a curious look on his face. I know he might have asked as a friend but I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach.

"I have to meet up with someone in the parking lot, I'll see you all during classes," I say and they nod and continue talking.

As I make my way toward the parking lot, I couldn't help but feel a presence next to me. "Who exactly are you meeting up with?"

"Carter? What are you doing here?" I ask in surprise.

"Oh um, I was heading this way and you were... so yeah." He says scratching the back of his head. I don't know why but I just shrug it off.

"Where are you going?" I ask because there was no classroom or anything around here.

"Don't change the subject, so are you meeting up with?" He inquires and I show him the text.

"What do you think she wants to say?" I ask him waiting to hear his opinion.

"I'm sure she wants to make up with you." He says and I smile. "You should go and meet her."

"That what I was going to do dumbass."

"Right. See you during English then." He smirks to himself.

"See you then," I say and we part ways. I smile slightly, it was nice of Carter to accompany me for a while.

It didn't take long for me to reach the parking lot. Kelly was already there and she looked a little nervous. I make my way toward her and I saw her sigh in relief when she saw me. "I thought you weren't going to come." She says.

"Well I'm here aren't I?" I say coldly. "What do you want?" I ask as I fold my arms.

"I just wanted to apologize for how I've been acting. I am really sorry but not for the shouting part, you guys deserved it but at the lashing out on you and leaving part. You don't have to forgive me right now but I just wanted you to tell you I'm sorry." She finishes up.
