Kyla's
P.O.V
When I got home I slept for about three
hours. My mom thought that I had come
back after she had gone to bed so I was
okay. I was grinning every time I thought
of Alex. He was really sweet. I thought
maybe, just maybe, I might like him a
little bit. I grinned at that thought and
closed my eyes. My phone
vibrated,
Hey
Kyla! What's up:)
It was
from Jake. I responded,
Not
much. Do you know Alex?
Yeah,
why?
I
swallowed before texting this next this.
Should I ask it,
Does
he have a girlfriend?
I knew
that he had told me he didn't but a
popular, and attractive, guy like him
must have a girlfriend...
Yes.
Her name's Cassidy
My
heart sunk as I read this. What? He
lied to me. I frowned, realizing
I had thought I liked him. I shook my
head. Whatever, he has a
girlfriend.
I

I
texted to Jake and closed my eyes.
Whoops.

The next day was a blur. I remember
felling very scared at some times, and
freaking out when the teacher called on
me. I remember talking to Jake a lot...
but avoiding Alex. I ran in to him once
in the hall, and saw him holding hands
with a girl who I assumed was Cassidy. I
had looked down and surried away like the
scared mouse I am. And mad. Mad at him
for lying.
It was Friday. I had T.G.I.F syndrom, and
could not wait to leave school. As soon
as the bell rang, I sprinted out of the
classroom and ran away before the huge
groups crashed through the school. I
waited behind the school for my mom to
pick me up when I saw Alex approaching. I
immediately looked down at my hands. He
cleared his throat,
"Hey best friend, why haven't
you talked to me for awhile." he
asked. Because you lied...
"Oh, I've been busy." I
said. I saw Matt drive up and I stood up
and grabbed my stuff,
"Well, I didn't know you were in
a relationship with Jake." he said,
biting his lip. I narrowed my eyes at
him. What on Earth?
"I'm not!" I said
indignantly.
"Then why-" he was cut off by
Matt honking really loudly.
"Look I have to go. Text me
later." I said and climbed into the
car with Matt.
Why would he think Jake was my
boyfriend?
