Chapter 12

As I walked through the gym doors I could feel my irritation growing. What right did she have to be getting mad at me? She's the one that goes around with that hoe and pretends everything alright. Whatever.

I turned the corner to head out to the school parking lot and I couldn't get my keys out of my damn bag. Who the hell thought backpacks were a good idea to have. I was still digging for my keys when I walked into what felt like a brick wall.

"Hey watch where your going." I grumbled still trying to find my damn keys.

"Your the one that ran into me." I ignored whoever the hell that was and walked out the door. I could hear them grumbling about me but I didn't care I was too pissed off. As I walked out the door I finally found me keys and started for my car. I could hear someone calling my name but I ignored it and got in my car. I threw my bag in the back seat and turned the music up as loud as it would go. I peeled out of the parking lot and just drove. I didn't have any particular place I was headed. All I knew is if I didn't calm down I was going to do somethings stupid. I let the music fill my body with its sound and just kept driving. After about fifteen minutes I pulled over at the nearest gas station and reached for my bag and through it to find my phone. I had 8 missed calls from Kris and 13 text messages from Sara. I rolled my eyes and threw my phone in the back seat. I wanted to scream. I was so mad at her and I don't even know why. Maybe it was because I was jealous. I don't now. Jealousy just wasn't the right word. I turned the music back up and started to head home. My mom was probably wondering where I was by now.

As I rounded the corner on my street I saw Kris sitting on my front step. For a second I debated whether or not to just turn around and go to Saras. Although I don't think she was very happy with me, especially because I'm pretty sure she was the one calling my name. Knowing Kris had already seen my car I was left no other choice than to pull in to the drive way. I turned the blaring music off and pulled the keys out of my ignition and started getting out of the car.

"What are you doing here?" My voice was full of irritation.

"I'm sorry. Ya know, about earlier." She wouldn't look me in the eye.

"Its fine. You should go home. Its late." Why was I being so cold? I couldn't explain it but I didn't want her around. Even though I really wanted her here.

"Ave please dont be like that."

"Be like what?" I snapped

"Angry with me. Please. Mack is already angry with me and I think im losing her. I don't want to lose you too." By now there were tear streaming down her face. All the anger in me dissolved. I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"I love you Kris." The words just kind of fell out. I don't know how.

"I love you too Ave." I know she didn't mean it the same way I did, but it still made my heart skip a beat every time she said it.
