Chapter 21

When I woke up again it was because I heard a knock on my door. I looked down and saw Sara still with me in bed completely naked. The blanket had fallen off of her body and was only covering from her waist down. I didn't have time to say anything to the person at the door before they walked in. Before I knew what was happening Kris was standing in my door way and her face was beat red. Suddenly I remembered Saras half naked body and I quickly pulled the covers over her completely. She was still completely asleep and it didn't seem likes would be waking up soon. As quickly as she had come out she walked out of the room. I hurriedly got out of bed thanking everything in me that I still had my clothes on.

"Kris wait." I called after her

"No." I caught up to her before she got to the end of the hallway. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Let go of me." She said

"No. What are you even doing here? How did you even get in?" I asked as I kept a firm grip on her wrist.

"I wanted to talk to you about what happened. And your mom let me in. Now let go of me. Go back and fuck around with Sara." She seemed so angry. The look she was giving me was lethal. Normally the look in her eye would make me back down instantly but not this time.

"You're the one who showed up out of nowhere. So don't be getting pissy with em because you're mad." I snapped back

"All of this is your fault. You're the one who attacked my girlfriend and got in the middle of us. And then you have the nerve to tell me that you love me but you want nothing to do with me? What the fuck is that about." She said practically screaming. After her little rant she as so mad she was almost out of breath.

"Your psycho girlfriend is the one who started that fight. She's the one who rammed down someone I care about just to get back at me. Kris she hates me so much that she takes it out on you and hurts your just because she hates me. What the fuck is that? I don't want anything to do with that anymore." I finally released my grip on her wrist. I hung my head because I know how much this was hurting her. Because it was hurting me just as much.

"I love her Avery." She practically whispered. She wouldn't look at me, just at the ground.

"Then why are you here. You chose her." I said

"Because I don't want to lose you." She said

"Well you cant have both. It hurts too much, and I love you too much to put you through that anymore. So please just leave me alone." Without another word I walked back to my room and kris walked out the front door. I didn't know if I wanted to scream or cry or just punch something. All I knew was that the girl I loved chose another girl who treats her like shit; and there was a naked girl in my bed who I wanted more than anything in the world to love.

When I got back to my room Sara was fully dressed and putting on her shoes. She just looked at me and gave me a sad sympathetic smile.

"I better head home." Was all she said before she walked past me and left. For some reason I just watched her go. I didn't stop her. I couldn't. I just couldn't. I laid on my bed and watched the minutes go by on my clock. All this and it was only 3:24.

—-————————————-

Two days later, it's Monday morning and I'm sitting in history class contemplating the inevitable disaster that practice is going to be. I haven't talked to Sara or Kris since Saturday and I already know today is going to be terrible. Sitting in my next three classes would be torture. I felt like my body was just overloading on nervous energy. I couldn't sit still. I kept bouncing my leg up and down. At some point it must have gotten so bad that the boy who sat next to me asked if I was okay. As I looked at him I realized I didn't even know his name.

"Yeah I'm okay. Just worried about practice." I said as I ran my right hand through my hair. It was a nervous habit.

"Oh yeah, you play on the basketball team right?" He asked. I realized he had really pretty eyes They were a deep green while his hair was dark brown. He had just a few freckles right on the bridge of his nose.

"Yeah, I do." I said blushing for absolutely no reason. What the hell was that about.

"You got in a fight last week right?" He asked referring to my lip by pointing at his. I kinda laughed and said

"How'd you know?" I said kind of blushing from embarrassment.

"Just a guess. You kicked ass though." He said laughing. And that was the end of our conversation. I still didn't know his name, but at this point it was too awkward to ask. I just went back to my work.

A couple of periods later and I was in 6th period. After this class would be basketball. Kris wasn't in the class we have together because of some Honor Society stuff I don't know. All I knew was that there was 10 minutes left in this class and they were going by too fast. Normally I couldn't wait for basketball, now I wanted nothing more than to just skip it and go home and not talk to anyone. 8 minutes. We had already finished the lecture and were just sitting around pretending to be busy. I pulled out my phone to try and distract myself from the thoughts of my impending doom.

"So are you still worried?" I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around and it was the guy from my first period class. I know for a fact he doesn't have this class.

"What are you doing here?" I asked thoroughly confused.

"I came to visit my mom. This is her class."

"Seriously? Your mom is Mrs. Evans?" Mrs Evans was the nicest teacher I had. She's my English teacher but everyone loved her.

"Yeah, you didn't know?" He asked as he sat down in the desk next to mine. Without thinking I said,

"I don't even know your name." Shit. He just threw his head back a little and laughed.

"My name is Oliver, but you can call me Olli." He said as he put his hand out for me to shake it.

"I'm sorry." I laughed as I shook his hand. The bell rang. Shit. As I packed up my stuff I started out the door. Olli came up behind me and said,

"Where you headed?" He asked with one hand grasping the strap of his backpack and the other in his pocket.

"Basketball." I said he made a little noise that I took as an 'oh that sucks' noise.

"Yeah its going to suck." I said running my hadn't through my hair again.

"And whys that?" He asked. I had to look up at him when I talked. He was about a whole foot taller than me.

"Just drama." I said. As we rounded the corner to head to the gym I saw Kris walking with some girl she was friends with. She gave me another look, but I just kept making small walk with Olli. As I kept looking at Kris I hadn't realized Olli had stopped talking to see what I was looking at.

"She the reason you dont wanna go?" He asked. It was so weird. I had just met this boy but I felt like I could trust him. So I said,

"She's one of them." I replied as we headed towards what would be the worst practice of my life.
