Kyle


I opened my locker as I heard the sound of heels make a complete stop in front of my locker. I could tell from the ritzy perfume she was wearing that I already knew who it was.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Rude much?"
"Annoying much?" I snapped.
Why does she keep bothering me?
I already dated her, which didn't go so well.
And I already pretended to date her, which was even worse. This girl never quits.


"Taylor, I'm not going to say this again. Leave me alone", I said closing my locker.
"Kyle, I'm not going to say this again. I'm not a quitter", Taylor smirked.
"I really don't get why you like me so much Taylor".


"What is it exactly that you don't understand. I like Mimi, not you", I said get annoyed.
"I don't care what you like, I can make you get over her".
"I really doubt that, because I tried", I said.
"No way Kyle".


"Fine! So then you don't mind if I pretend that you're her", I said grabbing hold of her.
"What? No. Get off", she said jerking her arms.
"You're so determined to make me like you, but yet never think of my feelings!"
"Kyle-"


I forced myself on her to only make an example.
An example of how she makes me feel forced and manipulated.
Not given any option or choice. Just forced.


As soon as I let go of Taylor, I saw Mimi standing right behind her.
Damn, she totally saw what just happened.
I swear that kiss was nothing, I only wanted to set Taylor straight and be left alone.
But I'm sure she'll get the wrong idea here.

"Mimi, don't get the wrong idea!", I said panicking. Please don't get mad, I thought repeatedly.
"What idea Kyle, I saw it!" she shouted angrily. Shoot, she's mad.


"Taylor, tell her what happened", I looked at Taylor hoping she wouldn't say anything spiteful.
"Why did you do that?" she sounded like she was about to cry.
Are you kidding me right now Taylor? If anything, she like that kiss and totally played the victim.


Mimi ran around the corner of the hallway.
"Mimi!" I yelled running after her.


"Mimi! Stop, I said it meant nothing!" I kept running after and god she could run.
She ignored me and was nearly at the end of the hallway.


I quickly took Mimi by the arm and stopped her in her tracks.
"Mimi, please believe me when I say-"


I stopped talking as looked into her sad blue eyes.
Her eyeliner was running. She wasn't mad, she was sad.
I made the girl I like cry. I really am a jerk. What should I do now?


She stopped crying and then swung at my head. Now she's pissed.
"Get off me Kyle!" she said slapping me.
"Ouch, Mimi stop please!" I said trying to avoid her hits.


"Mimi, I swear it didn't mean anything to me", I said as I tried to take her by the hand again.
"I don't care Kyle, you stupid playboy bunny!"


She smacked me a dozen times then ran off, "Learn to keep your lips to yourself, you stupid jerk!"
"Ow, my head", I said rubbing it.

"Mimi! I said I'm sorry already. Please come out".

"So, how long do you plan on ignoring me Asia?"


Asia looked up, "I'm not ignoring you".
"Really? Cause you haven't replied to any of my calls or texts", said Flint.
"If I were ignoring you, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. Now would I?" said Asia walking aimlessly past Flint.


"True. But this treatment you're giving me has something to do with Homecoming, doesn't it?" said Flint worried.
"No it doesn't", said Asia quick.
"Liar", said Flint softly as Asia walked inside her classroom.

I leaned on the railing in the outside corridor.
Even though I've been sitting here for which it felt like at least fifteen minutes, I'm surprised Kyle hadn't came back to bother me yet.
Maybe he gave up like he always does.
It seems like whenever something is to hard for him to handle, he just bails.
Why do I like him so much again?

"Mimi".


My heart skipped a beat as I turned around to see who was calling my name.
It was Anthony. Why did my heart become so calm all of a sudden?
"You're skipping homeroom too?", he said.
"Oh yeah, I don't feel up for it", I said avoiding telling him why.
"Me neither I just got here not too long ago".


"But Mimi...What I said at the dance you can forget it", Anthony said nervously rubbing his neck.
As he Anthony continued speaking, I began to space out.


I saw Kyle standing in the doorway with Taylor.
Again, they were near each other. It makes me so...jealous.
Why is it so hard for them to stay away from each other?

"Oh my god, you again. What do you want?" Kyle snapped.
"If you're looking for Mimi, she's outside", Taylor smiled.


Kyle looked past the bombshell. His knees became weak at what he was watching.
___________________________________________________________________

Once I caught Kyle looking at us, I kissed Anthony. Why did I do this? I don't know.
Maybe I just wanted him to feel what I felt when he kissed Taylor.
But Anthony was the guy I liked since middle school. Why isn't my heart racing?


"You think you're cool, don't you".


"Mimi, what was that?" asked Anthony smiling, "I mean I'm glad, but that was random".
"Sorry...I..uh, just really wanted to", I said lying. I'm sorry for lying Anthony.


I glanced back to see Kyle standing there like a statue. Numb. I think I broke him.


Oh gosh, what did I do? Maybe I went too far as to kissing his best friend.
Kyle is probably going to hate me for this. What I did was far worse than anything.
Kissing his best friend.

"Should I get some Cheetos or Doritos?"


"Get some Doritos. And Dylan why are you at the vending machine?" asked Jenny.
(Honk Honk)


"I've been wondering that too. I don't know, but when I went to our table no one was there", said Dylan.
"Where is everyone? Aren't they at school?" asked Jenny.
"Last time I checked, I saw everyone in class so far", said Dylan.
"Something's not right..." said Jenny cautiously.


Dylan stared at the sight of Mimi and Anthony walking together, pretty close too.
"Jenny, I think I found the problem", said Dylan.


"What is it?" Jenny asked.
"Let's just say I saw Mimi with another guy and it wasn't Kyle", Dylan said.
"Oh dear".
"Oh dear is right", said Dylan.
(Honk Honk)


"You should go check up on Kyle, I'm going to call Mimi", Jenny said.
"Jenny get off the phone. No offense but you're kinda a crazy driver", said Dylan.
(Honk Honk)
"I am not," said Jenny, "Quit honking at me dipstick!"
Dylan laughed, "Jenny, I'll deal with Kyle and Mimi. Tell your dad I said hi".
"Okay, see you later then", said Jenny.
"Bye".
