Friend or Sister? Chapter
12
It's been two weeks and Kailin and I
still haven't talked. I think she's overreacting, but I
guess I could have pulled away sooner. The two classes we have
together we don't talk, even 2nd period when we sit next to
each other, she just angles her body another way. The most awkward
thing is when we pass each other in the hallway and we're like
the only 2 people in the hallway, we both pretend not to see each
other, but we both know we're trying to trick ourselves.
Luckily Lindsey hasn't talked to me, I guess she got the
message at that party. My alarm clock started beeping and I rolled
over and turned it off. I don't know why I even set it, I
hardly sleep anymore, I just replay that night over and over again.
I got out of bed and went to take a shower. I put on some jeans,
since it's getting colder, and a t-shirt, and with that, I
walked downstairs. "Good morning! How did you sleep?" my
mom instantly asks. I shrug, "Not much better then any other
night." She looks concerned, whatever, it's my life not
hers. I grab a breakfast bar and go get my backpacks together. I
walk back into the kitchen with my shoes on and backpack all ready
to go. My mom looks at me, "Have a good day!" she says
cheerfully. I just smirk and walk out to my car. When I arrive at
school I see Kailin talking to someone, as I park my car I see that
that person is Matt, her ex. It looks like they're getting
friendly again. I sigh, grab my backpack, and get out of my car.
Unfortunately I have to walk past them to get to first period, so I
quickly walk by pretending not to notice. When I get a little
farther down I turn around to see her looking at me, crap. We both
quickly look away and I walk to first period. I've been kind of
a loner since we broke up. I mean I don't have any particular
reason not to, it's just that I don't want to. I take my
seat in first period next to Nick. "Hey man! Where were you
Friday? Claire's party was awesome!" I laugh, "Nick
you think every party's awesome." He smiles "Corey,
c'mon you haven't done anything since...yeah...you've
gone to school, then football practice, then home. Then to school,
football practice, then home. You need to get out more! Tonight
after football I'm taking you out on a man date." I laugh
again, "A man date? Can't we just say we're hanging
out?" I smile, Nick shrugs, "Yeah yeah call it what you
want." Nick looks towards the door, his eyes widen, then he
turns back to me, "So what have you been up to?" he says.
I narrow my eyebrows (in a confused way), "what?" I turn
to look at the door and Nick pulls on my arm, but it's too
late, what I saw was enough. Kailin kissing Matt. I turned back to
Nick and looked down, he hit my arm, "Corey, don't let her
get to you." he said quietly right before the bell rang for
class to start.
That night Nick and I were going to play
basketball at the gym to get ready for try-outs. Which turned out
to be a big mistake. As we pulled into a parking lot I saw
Kailin getting dropped off and walking into the gym. Nick
pretended not to notice so that I wouldn't bring it up. He
parked "Ready?" he said. I nodded, we went upstairs to
the basketball court and saw Kailin taking 3-pointers on one side
of the court. "We'll just stay on this side." Nick
said. I looked at him, "Yeah I forgot, Kailin's a big
basketball player, everyone thinks she'll make varsity."
He nodded then we walked onto the court. We played one on one for
awhile. Then, Nick being obnoxious hit the ball really hard on the
backboard and it went flying to the other side of the court. Right
as Kailin was about to take a shot, it whacked her on the back of
her head and she fell to the ground. I glared at Nick then ran over
to her. She was conscience thank god, she just got the wind knocked
out of her. Her eyes fluttered open and she felt me holding her
head up off the ground. She didn't say a word as she tried to
get up. "That's not a good idea." I said gently
pushing her back down. "Why? I'm fine just leave me
alone." She tried to get up again, this time I let her, I
didn't want her to me more mad at me then she already was. As
soon as she stood up she almost fell but I caught her. She smiled
at me then quickly wiped it off her face. HA! I thought, so she was
trying to act mad! I helped her walk over to the bench and helped
her sit down. "Sorry about that, Nick hates it when I score on
him..." Kailin smiled a little then held her head. "Are
you sure you're okay? I can call your mom for you." I said
taking my phone out of my pocket. She looked up at me and nodded,
"thanks." she said quietly. I called her mom and helped
Kailin out to the car. Then I went back up to Nick I glared at him,
grabbed my things and left. He quickly followed because
unfortunately he was my ride home. He dropped me off, I took a
shower, then went to bed.
*sorry it's long a kinda boring...any ideas on what should
happen next??
