Love at first Friend., Chalen D. [novels for students .txt] 📗

a shrug.
"oh that's right, you only know the self absorbed."
i looked up at her.
"i'm sorry."
"i deserve that."
"no you don't."
"you where always so sweet."
"yeah, i get hurt cause of it."
"Yeah." she said, biting her lip.
"i don't think we can ever be friends in the same way."
"I totally get that."
"good. I'm not sure if Harlow and Mia will forgive you, and i'm going to choose them over you, every time. i know it sounds bad, but that's what happens."
"i get it." she nodded.
i blew out some air.
"jeesh, we live in a fucked off world." i said.
"tell me about it." she laughed once.
"I'm really glad to have you back. even if your just my friend."
i laughed.
she pulled me in for a hug by my neck.
"Friends?"
"for now." i said, with a smile.
the next day at school, Marley met up with me.
"Hey."
"Whoa, your really talking to me?"
"Shut up dork." she laughed linking our arms.
"What the shit?" Harlow asked, coming over with Mia in toe.
"It wasn't her fault."
i quickly filled them in.
Mia hugged Marley.
Harlow just stared at her.
"I'm watching you." she said, eyes narrowed.
i bit my lip to keep from laughing.
"you guys remember that doll we got when we were nine? the one where they look like us? i still have mine." Marley said, hanging her head in shame.
"No way me too!" Mia said.
"Mines on a shelf." Harlow said.
"I think mine is at the back of my closet." i admitted.
we all looked at each other and laughed.
"Marley." Kamma said.
"I quit." Marley said, as we passed her.
"Whatever." Kamma said.
i went to get a soda, as the girls got a seat.
I turned as i saw Cody making his way to me.
there was a tap on my shoulder.
i turned around and looked up into Karson's blue eyes.
"Hey." he smiled.
"Hi."
he bent down.
"what?" i asked.
"It's okay that i kiss you right?"
i pressed my lips to his.
"It's very okay."
"There's this thing i was meaning to ask you-"
"Stevie Lynn."
"Hey, Cody." i said, jumping a little when he said my name.
"i was wondering if we could hang out after school?"
Karson turned and left.
"Not a good idea."
i went after Karson.
"Why not?"
"Look i gotta go." i said, trying to pull away from him.
"Stevie-"
"Bye Cody."
i ran through the front doors and looked around.
Marley waved fast at me. when i looked over at her she pointed to my left.
i looked over and saw Karson walking down the hall.
i ran after him.
"Karson!"
he turned just in time for me to crash into him.
i grabbed him by the jacket and kissed him.
"i really like you Karson. a lot."
he smiled a lop sided grin, that made my heart skip.
i became the shy one and bit my lip.
i could see the humor in his eyes.
he bent down and kissed me.
"get a room!" some kid said.
it was 7 pm and the band was freaking out.
"Where is he?" Drew asked, looking at the back door.
"Conner's never late." Ronnie said, sitting down.
"We should just give up." Mason said.
"This is to important, this is make it or break it time, guys." Jett said.
Conner ran to us.
"Yes!" Drew said.
Conner gave me a paper.
"Guys, Conner lost his voice what now?" i asked, holding up the paper.
"Shit." Ronnie said.
Jett looked around us.
i took a deep breath.
"Guys just go on, i have you covered."
"You got a singer?" Jett asked.
"Yeah, sorta."
"We'll take it." Mason said, getting on the stage.
"Hey everyone we're The Breakers." Jett said.
everyone yelled.
"Our lead singer lost his voice, so we have a sub. hope they're good."
they began to play.
i grabbed a mic, and held it it my hand loosely.
Jett's counting on you.
I brought the Mic to my mouth.
"You laugh out loud at all the wrong times, your yourself and they just don't understand."
i pushed open the curtain and walked through.
"Say what you will, i'm myself. you look at me as if i lost my mind, but i just want to heard."
after the song, everyone stood up and yelled.
"Thank you, We're the Breakers, and that's my little sister Stevie!"
everyone yelled, and i basically flew off the stage.
"you sing!" Jett said, coming to me.
"yeah."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"Music's your thing."
"Music's everyone's thing." he said.
A group came over to us, pulling him in.
"Dude, i had now idea you were into music!"
Marley grabbed my hand and pulled me to the wall, where Harlow and Mia were sitting on the floor.
i sat down and Harlow gave me a opened can of soda.
"I didn't spike it if your wondering."
"What are we doing tonight?" Marley asked.
we all looked at her.
"What?"
"I go to my dad's on the weekend. i won't be back, till Monday."
"Oh," she said, taking a drink.
"Stevie ready? We're already late." Jett said.
i kissed Harlow and Mia, gave Marley a half-hearted hug and let Jett pull me to my feet.
when we got my dad's house it was dark and cold.
the floors are a black hard wood, and the walls are gray.
"Is he home?" i asked, Jett.
"Kids?"
we looked at each other.
"Run!" we said, running up the stairs.
i took a shower and got into bed.
the next morning the sky was over cast.
i went to the mail box.
"Stevie?"
i turned at my name.
"Karson!" i said, dropping the mail.
i looked down at my old t-shirt.
"Hey there."
he came over to me.
"Your cute when you blush."
of course my face went even hotter.
"What are you doing here?"
"I uh, what are you doing here?" i asked.
"I live here."
he pointed to the house behind him.
"Okay, this is my lazy outfit." i said.
he pulled me against him.
"Well shit, thanks for telling me, i thought you where going to run for beauty queen."
"i not messing around." i said.
"neither was i."
"You really think i'm pretty?"
"I think your beautiful." he said.
"Don't hide your face, it's cute."
he bent down and kissed me.
We spent the weekend together.
"Hey can i talk to you."
i turned to tell Cody off, but he looked like the Geeky kid from next door.
my heart squeezed.
i nodded.
"I know that your with Karson, but-"
"How come you believed me over them?"
"I guess i wasn't thinking. i was kinda hurt."
"You should of asked."
"I know, think we could be friends again ever?"
his face looked shy instead of Cocky.
i wanted nothing more than to pull him into a hug.
so i did. he let out a breath and hugged onto me.
"I missed you." he said.
"Yeah. me too."
we pulled away.
maybe this time it would be different. maybe if i gave everyone a fresh start, i could give myself one too.
