Sorry
I'm not going to finish Circles :( 

This story sucks to me, and I am quite frankly uninspired by my love life to continue to write this story.  plus i have other shtuff i needs to do.
However, if you would like closure to this story I will be glad to do so, so read the following:
Braden & katie don't end up together. at all. she misses her opportunity, and he gets bored with her because she's shy.  In the last scene that "game" they were playing doesn't end with a kiss, but a stare. wee. exciting. right? Braden ends up with a more suited girl, one who is more popular and liked than katie, so uh yeah. Again i'm very sorry, this apology is long over due but I was thinking about it today, and thought I should at least do something rather than fall off the face of the planet.
Hopefully, I will find a differnet source of inspiration and write something.   It will not be fandom, or a typical love story, because quite frankly I think those are very typical.  This is going to be a well thought out story, as long as I figure out exactly what it's going to be about. I hope all my lovely followers will care to read it.  It will most likely have to do with love, so please don't unfollow me.. thanks :)

Circles
Chapter 8

When I went back to the lunch table I told everyone what happened.  They were really excited for me, and we talked about the subject of guys for the remainder of lunch.  Afterwards I had studyhall.  Braden walked in with a pass, looked at me.  Smiled.  Took the pass, and left. Kylie begged to hang out with us later, but I strictly told her no.  The last time I did that it turned out just how I knew it would.  The guy ended up liking her more than he liked me.  Not that he even liked me.  He told her he regreted that he stopped talking to me, because she was such a good friend.  Meaning because he and I were no longer friends, he wasn't friends with her, and he wanted to be friends with her.  I was just a bridge.
After school I waited the table in the hallway, near Erins locker.  Erin wasn't far away from me, so I was okay.  Kylie was there too.  I was sitting on the table.  Kylie sat on the floor against the opposite wall.  Erin was at her locker, near Kylie.  Braden walked over and did a jump-sit motion onto the table I was sitting.  He sat next to me.  He had his phone in his hand.  He looked down at it.  Then up at me after he handed it to me.  He had an iPhone.  I typed my number in and he set my name as 'Katie <3'.  I smiled.  He did too.  He slipped his phone back into his pocket.
"So what's up?" he asked.  That question meant he was going to stay with us for a while.  There were still a few people around.  It was barely after school.
"Nothing really, waiting to get picked up" Kylie answered for us. 
"How late do you guys usually stay 'til?"
"Like 3:20" I answered this time.
"What about you? Don't you usually walk home with Kyle?" Erin asked him
"Yeah, but he's talking to people, so I thought I'd come hang with you guys" He nudged me. 
"Oh okay"
"So how do you like it here?" Kylie said sarcastically.  The three of us hated our school.  The teachers sucked, the kids were mean, and the guys were ugly.  And then Braden came.  But that was beside the point.  Our school was awful, and that was it.
"I like it, it's better than my old school."
The three of us exchanged a glance at eachother, and a slight laugh. "Yeah, well..." I started.
"Hey man," Kyle walked over and greeted Braden with a highfive hand shake thing that guys did.  "You ready or....." He raised his eyebrows, indicating something.
"No, yeah lets go." Braden stood up.  I adjusted myself to my seat, now that I had it to myself.  Braden picked up his backpack and looked at me.  Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue, blue, blue.  He smiled which made his eyes sparkle.  "I'll text you later so we can chill" he said. I responded with an 'okay'.  I smiled and giggle like an idiot I was sure.
Kylie yelled out for him "Bye, Braden!"
And Erin yelled after just a simple "Bye!"
When he was out of hearing range she said in a low tone, "love you, miss you" mocking me.  I laughed.
"Shut up, I barely know him." I protested
"Well I'm sure you will get to know him plenty well tonight" Kylie responded.  I can only hope.

Circles
Chapter 7

The next couple days went by quickly.  Nothing changed much. Braden and I stared talking more.  It made me really happy.  Finally, it was Friday.  I went to English expecting him to be there.  He wasn't.  The bell rang and he still wasn't there.  I felt discouraged.  Expecially because I looked really good.  I wore my skinniest skinny jeans, high pumps, and a tight sweater that my boobs looked great in, and showed just enough skin around my hips.  I sulked quietly in my seat.
At lunch I went on line with both Erin and Kylie so they could get food.  We stood there talking.  they stood in front of me.  I felt someone come up behind me and grab my waisted.  It scared me.  I jumped a bit and let out a small yelp.  Then they stepped in front of me, like they were cutting in line.  It was Braden.  I immediatley smiled.  I was shocked, but happy.  I thought he was absent.  He looked over his shoulder smiling.  Whenever I saw him he had a smile on his face.
I laughed.  "Hey" I managed to say, rolling my eyes.
"Hey Katie" he kept his grin.  He walked back around me, going next to me.  I walked up a little ahead of him.  Erin and Kylie turned their backs to us, they kept eye contact with eachother smiling.  Not saying a word.  He stood a little behind me, but still to my side.
"Where were you in english today?" I said poutfully.
"Doctors appointment, why did you miss me?" he joked.  Yeah, actually....  I just giggled.  He laughed a little too.  Kylie and Erin looked back a little.
"So what are you getting?" He pointed at the line.
"Oh nothing, I'm just getting stuff with Kylie and Erin"
They turned around.  Kylie smiled politely, Erin raised her hand and held it there as she smiled with her mouth closed.  He waved quickly and said 'hey'. They turned back around.  While we were talking the line kept moving.  Pretty soon we were up at the front.  Somehow we kept the converstation going.  He began buying his lunch while I was walking out.
"Okay well see you next period,"
He frowned.  "I have to makeup a test from ths morning, so I can't see you."
Erin and Kylie turned and started walking back.
"Oh well, I'll see you monday! See ya" I said disappointed.
I felt his hand wrap around my arm. "Wait." My face got hot.  I felt my heart rate increase.  I tried to calm myself down.  He was still smiling.  His eyes looked soft.
"What are you doing tonight?"
I smiled "Oh, I'm not sure, I think I'm free,"  I looked to see where Kylie and Erin were.  They were getting too far away.  "I need to go, but meet me at my locker after school.  I'll give you my number so you can text me"  I smiled wider. He did too.  He agreed and I walked to catch up with my friends.

Circles
Chapter 4
"I'm Kylie!" she chimmed in.  I turned and looked at her.  She was smiling.  She took a quick glance at me which only made her smile wider.  Looking at me, she raised her eyebrows.  I blocked the view of Braden, so he didn't see that.
"Nice to meet you guys" he said with a smile.  Then he turned back around.  I did too.  Kylie and I gave eachother an understanding look that that part of the conversation was over.  We smiled at eachother.  I looked down and continued drawing...

After school, I would visit my old history teacher.  Mr. Ian.  Kylie, Erin and I would go.  He had faculty meetings on Mondays, so we wouldn't visit him.  We sat in the stairwell.
"So he's in our studyhall" Kylie smiled at me.
"Ohhh Katiiiiieeeeeeeeee" Erin sang.
I blushed. "Shut up, nothings gonna happen."  Stuff usually didn't happen to me.  I was completely irrelevant to everything. I knew that.  Everyone did.  I wanted something to happen.  He was gorgeous. His voice was low.  How could I not? But I knew my place, even though it would hurt later.  I had to understand that when he would have a thing with another girl I had no right to be upset.  After a while I had to go.  I went home.  Did my homework.  Took a shower.  Went on Tumblr.  & went to bed.  All the while disappointed in myself, and just all around sad.
