Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Who am I texting?Words: 8282

[SKY]

"Kyle." Great, just what I needed - another idiot in my life.

"I guess you're still mad, huh?" I take a step back and move the basket to my right arm.

"Smart guess, dumbass," I mutter while scanning for some food to pretend to not making eye contact with him.

"Look Sky, I'm sorry" his tone was almost quiet.

"I don't need your sympathy. Just save it for some girls out there."

"I could explain," he sighs. " After a date"

"Absolutely not," I said flatly.

"Tell me now or never? Your choice." I insist.

"I can't, " he look around. "Please? A date and I promise to tell you everything"

Deep down I don't want to see him again but curiosity keeps me eager to know what he's going to tell me.

"I'll think about that." I sigh. "I'll text you later."

"Okay, thank you." He smiles sheepishly before I brush past him.

Kyle is honestly the last person I wanted to deal with right now. He's a complete asshole. Why would I agree to go on a date with him? I should've been ignoring him. And why is he even bother to explain? He'd be talking bullshits by the way or probably just another attempt at trying to get my attention. God, I hate him.

Me: I ran into Kyle just now

Dan: HELL NAW

Dan: where are you at?

Me: leaving the mart

Me: he asks me out on a date

I was about to set my basket down on the counter but I shove it without realizing that person is in front of me and he whimpers.

"Sorry," I said.

"Sky Rose?" I look up my phone and see Alex smiling at me.

"Oh Alex, hey.. sorry I didn't realize it's you." I said.

"It's okay." He said

"Kyle is here," he mumbles

"Yeah," I roll my eyes. "He pissed me off to death."

"Nine fifty please," said the cashier. I pull my money out of my pocket and hand her a ten-dollar bill.

"Honestly, you deserve so much better Sky Rose."

I took my bag from the counter and me and walk out the mart.

"Thanks, Alex. It makes me feel better."

"No problem. I'll see you at school" He smiles before we walk in a separate direction.

Dan: I hate that guy

Dan: I swear I'm going to punch his nose, and slam his head on the wall

Dan: Sky? Where are you?

Dan: Oh shit you're dead

Dan: I was thinking if I should cry in your funeral or having a party to celebrate

Me: you're an ass Dan

Me: I was talking to Alex

Dan: Oh.. did he ask you on a date?

Me: that makes no sense at all.. NO

Dan: Too bad I hardcore ship you guys

Me: bye

**

Do I get the answer if I agreed? But are they worth it? Ugh, I'm gonna regret this so much.

Me: fine

Kyle: what?

Me: I'll go on that stupid date

Kyle: Really?

Me: this is for my sanity

Me: no shits, bullshit, dogshit whatsoever, you have to tell me everything

Me: and answer all my question

Kyle: agreed

Kyle: so tomorrow?

Me: yes

Kyle: I'll pick you up around seven

I set my phone down and groaned in annoyance. This will be the biggest mistake in my life.

[ALEX]

Kyle. Why does he have to come back between me and Sky. I finally get rid of Taylor, thinking there's still hope for Sky and I, and then there's Kyle.

"Alex," I turn my head facing the voice, Kyle.

"What?"

"Why didn't you attend the gig last week?" He's not being serious, isn't he?

"I quit the band. That's what you wanted, right?" he laughed. I don't even know what's so funny.

"Come on man, you're the important person in the band, why would I kick you out just because of some stupid fight?" I know he's messing around but he's right the other boys didn't want me to quit yet since I'm a songwriter in the band and the lead guitarist.

"Come on Alex, we're friends for a long time. I know I shouldn't attack you that day. I fucked up and I know it. You don't need to quit the band." He pats my shoulder.

"Tomorrow night we're having a gig at our usual place and you should come. I'll see you there."

I simply nodded. I don't know what his intention this time. I know how much he hates me after the day he attacks me.

But I really hope he's not planning something. I swear to God if Sky goes back to him. I will be pissed. I don't think she could possibly choose him over me, that ridiculous.

It's supposed to be me.

Sky❤: hey

Sky❤: um.. I'm sorry

Sky❤: for everything

Sky❤: I'm really, really sorry

Sky❤: and I hope that you forgive me

Sky❤: I know I've been like really back and forth

Sky❤: and pretty much a general pain in the ass

Sky❤: but I really miss you

Sky❤: and I know I'm not as romantic as you are in this stuff

Sky❤: I hope you can forgive me and stuff bc idk

Sky❤: bc love

Me: bc love?

Me: that's the best you've got?

Me: give me something better

Sky❤: UGH

Sky❤: because

Me: I wanna hear you say "because you're my master"

Sky❤: I really hate you bruhh

Sky❤: please forgive me

Sky❤: because you're my master

Me: okay, I guess (:

Sky❤: don't even start you asshole

Me: don't insult me loser

Sky❤: you think you got insults now?

Sky❤: YOU KNOW WHAT.. MY INSULTS ARE GETTING BETTER

Me: oh rlly?

Sky❤: rlly

Me: or "when am I getting grandkids?"

Me: or "is she willing to try my awful creation?"

Me: or she wouldn't care

Wifey: so.. can I meet your mom?

Me: of course

Me: you can meet my mom, my friends and everyone

Me: and I'll introduce you as my girlfriend, obviously.

My Wifey: wait, I was just joking
