Chapter 17

~ Dee ~

-          Bek just shut up!, I said while she was telling everyone how I dissed Clay.

-          But I don’t get it. Why do that if you like him?, Ryan said.

-          Ryan shut up!, Karlie said looking at him.

-          I don’t know okay., I sighed.

-          Talk to him! Simple as that!, Buffy added.

-          Yeah! I mean if you like him. You got to tell him., Steve said agreeing with Buffy.

-          You’re a smart one!, Buffy said to Steve before kissing him.

-          I would laugh so hard if you fell out of that tree., Bek said looking up at the two kissing.

-          Look Dee take it from a guy’s point of view. We won’t hang around if we are lead on or treated unfairly., Ryan said.

-          Why you still with me then?, Karlie asked him trying not to smile.

-          He said for me to call if I change my mind., I said looking at him.

-          Well save some cash and go over there and talk to him., Ryan said pointing to Clay who was sitting with some friends.

I was tired of everyone right about it. I knew it was wrong for me to push Clay away like that. I don’t know why I even did it at the first place. A part of me what to hold him and sorry for pushing him away like I did, but another part of me what to get revenge for blaming me like that.

-          Clay can we talk?, I asked walking up to him.

-          Sure!, he said looking at me.

-          Some where else?, I asked sighing.

-          Okay. I’ll be back in 10., he said smiling

-          Take your time man!, one of his friends said while laughing.

-          You’re talking to me now?, Clay asked me as we walked away from his friends.

-          Um…yeah., I said looking at my hands.

-          Look you got to understand, I was and still kind am kind of mad.

-          You think I’m happy with you?, I asked shaking my head.

-          Good so we both agree to be mad., he said putting his hand on my arm.

-          What is so good about it?, I asked facing him.

-          Well we are getting along., he said smiling.

-          Shut up Clay…

-          Look I’m sorry. I’ll be around and I still owe you a movie., he said while putting his arm around me.

-          That sounds like something from a movie., I said trying to work out which one.

-          I’ve been hanging with Karlie lately., Clay admitted.

-          You have?, I asked laughing.

-          Sure have! She hangs with me when Ryan is doing something, so I get to talk to her a bit.

-          You’re not falling for her are you?, I joked.

-          Nope! She helps me with advice.

-          Any I can help with?, I asked as we sat down on a bench where I could actually see my friends were watching.

-          Well, there’s this girl that I have known her for a long, long time. And well, a while ago, we had a fight. And we lost contact, until recently, and we became friends again, but I fell for her.

-          You did?, I asked interested.

-          Yeah, but I started to worry that if something happened, I would lose one of my best friends. But then I thought, I would keep on thinking, what if we did start a relationship, I would love to do that, and if something happens I will cross that.

-          Bridge when you come to it?, I asked.

-          Yeah! But I thought I would rather do something rather than singing my shoulda coulda wouldas. So?, he said smiling

-          Hi?!, I said nervously.

-          Hey., Clay said laughing before kissing me.

When we parted, I heard some cheering and screams. I looked over and saw my friends clapping and making a loud noise.

-          I swear I can kill you guys!, I said looking at my friends as we changed into our PE gear.

-          What did we do?, Bek asked innocently.

-          What didn’t you do? With your carrying on at lunch., I said shaking my head.

-          Love you too!, Buffy said blowing me a kiss.

-          Save it for Steve., I said looking at her.

-          So? What’s happening?, Bek asked me as she put on her joggers.

-          We know you kissed but what was said?, Karlie asked me as she put a bandanna on.

-          Us and that’s all you need to know., I laughed.

-          Come on people let’s get a move on!, our PE teacher said looking over at us laughing.

-          Yes Sir!, Karlie said walking out towards the gym.

-          Health nut!, Bek muttered which made me laugh even harder.
