"I won!", she said as she took her seat on the couch. "Wow!", she could not help but say in surprise as she stared at the television screen. "Yeah yeah. Whatever", Kavinsky muttered and rolled his eyes. Kaylee's phone started ringing and she took out of the back pocket of her pants quickly. She checked the screen and saw that it was her father. She picked it up and Kavinsky heard her say 'Okay' and turned to face her. She brought her phone down from her ears and looked at him with a serious face. All the happiness in her eyes had suddenly vanished. Weird... "Yeah?", he asked when she was not talking "I have to go home. Dad is back early today", she replied and stood up from the couch "Oh, okay", Kavinsky said as well and got up from the rug he was sitting on with Kaylee before. "I will see you out", he said with a smile. "Okay, thanks", she said and moved quickly towards the door. "Bye", he said and she waved back before walking slowly to her house. He saw her enter the
Kaylee walked to her bed and sat on it. She picked up the alarm clock that was on her bedside table and turned it off. She needed all the sleep she could get without any hindrance. She sighed after she had changed the time on it and collapsed on the bed. It has been a stressful day for a Friday. She remembered their B2, how she got really happy when the teacher had said he was giving them a B2. And Kavinsky as well, he had been a good person to her. A very very good friend. He somehow lifted her spirit from how she has always been for the past three years. Truth be told, those years had not been easy for her. They were the worst months ever. She remembered the video game too. It felt so good to win something. To somehow feel you are good at something, especially if it is something you just learned. Kavinsky's smiles, Kavinsky's words, his face, his sea blue eyes. Everything, just everything about him kept lingering in Kaylee's head. She smiled at it and gradually, it turned into
Kavinsky got up to get them more juice from the kitchen and Kaylee just glared at his departing figure. 'What is his problem?!', Kaylee screamed in her head in frustration 'But no. I am not going to lose this time around. I am ready for him, Kaylee thought and fumed in anger Kavinsky returned with the juices and handed Kaylee her own. She gulped it all down at once and Kavinsky looked at her in surprise. "Quit playing around and let's get into this game", Kaylee said sternly without sparing him a glance. Kavinsky just swallowed his drink and picked up his video player nervously. Kaylee looked scary to him right now. They played and played, the game gets tougher as seconds passed. Kaylee was trying her best during this round while Kavinsky played with a frown. The round finally ended with a winner and Kavinsky heaved a sigh of relief. That game was tough anyways. Kaylee jumped up in joy immediately and went around a couch. She came back to his side on the rug, not sitting d
Vanessa woke up the next morning with her head hurting a little. She winced as she got out of bed and went to have her bath. She went down for breakfast and met her mother watching TV. Even though she did not like the idea that much, it did not feel so bad to have her parents here in New York. She greeted her mother who replied to her with the sweetest signature smile on her face. "Good Morning to you too honey", Vanessa's mother replied. "Have you had breakfast?", Vanessa asked hesitantly. The least she could do right now was to at least have meals with them; her parents, together as a family. "It's past noon, honey. Of course, I have had breakfast", Mrs. Anderson replied, stating the obvious. "Oh", Vanessa somehow felt sad by that. Mrs. Anderson walked towards her in large strides. "Oh honey, you were sleeping and I did not want to wake you up", she said as she noticed the hurt look on Vanessa's face and took Vanessa's hands in her own. "No, it's fine", Vanessa said qui
The next week, Monday morning... Kavinsky and Kaylee arrived at school as usual. They were laughing at something as they walked into the school hall. Kaylee saw Vanessa walking towards them and she tried to excuse herself. Yeah, tried. She was unable to as she heard Vanessa call her. "Kaylee", that was like the first time Vanessa would call her name sweetly without glaring at her or clenching her teeth tightly together as she said Kaylee's name. Kaylee was taken aback at first but she turned back to face Vanessa anyways. Kavinsky went to stand beside Vanessa and Vanessa spoke up, in her most convincing and sweetest voice. "I am truly sorry, Kaylee. For what I have done to you so far. I have been mean to you and I know that but please, find a place in your heart to forgive me. I am very sorry. I don't know what came over me", Vanessa said with a sad face and Kaylee just stared at her in shock. 'What is happening?!', Kaylee screamed out mentally in her head. "We should probably
'Is he about to ask me ou-?' Her thoughts were cut short by his deep voice "Would you play in the musical competition with me?", he asked slowly when she did nothing but stare at him, instead of replying to his pleading. "What?!", Kaylee had not expected that at all. And that question just spat out from her mouth. She hadn't meant for it to sound like that. But wait... She thought he was about to ask her to be his girlfriend. She scoffed out loud at herself. What was she thinking?! "Please?", Kavinsky pleaded again, oblivious to what was going through Kaylee's mind "No no, I did not mean to ask what. I thought you wanted to ask me something else", Kaylee muttered but he heard her anyways. "Something else? Like what?", he asked curiously, his eyes slightly going wide a bit. "Nothing!", Kaylee said too quickly again and she groaned in frustration. "Mmm, it's nothing", Kavinsky wasn't backing down. "I- I am not telling you!", Kaylee finally found the boldness to speak. "Na
Kavinsky got to the kitchen and met his mother perfectly fine but her hand was on her chest as her breath came out strongly. "What happened, Mom?", Kavinsky asked "Sincerely honey, I do not know. I was talking about all the things we could do together and Kaylee smiled. I picked up the lighter and switched it on. I saw her trying to contain something but her face suddenly turned pale and she shouted out forcefully. I guess what she was trying to contain was the scream" "Was the lighter still on when she screamed?", Kavinsky asked as he looked at his mother. "Yeah, I think so", his mother replied nonchalantly. "Why did he even ask her that?', he thought and shook his head "I will be right back, Mom", he said and rushed out of the kitchen, through the front door, and did not stop until he was in front of Kaylee's house door. He rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open it. The door creaked open and Laura appeared in sight. "Where is Kaylee?", he quickly asked panting
"I can't-" "Please Kaylee" She hesitated for a while, playing with her fingers as she looked down at it. She did that for almost fifteen whole minutes before she finally spoke up again. "Okay", she agreed shortly. She had said she would do it anyways. "Thanks, Kaylee. And your Mom, that wasn't your fault, you know that right?", he asked calmly and slowly, trying not to say anything to offend her or make her angry and sad again. She looked up at him and gave him a facial expression which he translated as 'really?' "Well, it might have been your fault, a little bit. But she risked her life for both of you, she wanted you to live your life. You are still young, Kaylee. You shouldn't be doing this to yourself. You should live how the people our age do. It might be really hard to but you just have to try, Kaylee. Try", he said as he held her right hand again. Kaylee just nodded as she tried to fight the tears again. Everyone has been saying that to her all these years anyways. She
Hey guys, I am really sorry about this. I can't complete this story as I intended to but I would make a summary of it. I am sorry, please bear with me. ... SUMMARY... It has been a week since Kaylee and Kavinsky had stopped talking to each other. Even though they went to school together, things were still pretty weird between them. The next Saturday after Kaylee's game, Stiles visited Kaylee and asked her to go somewhere with him. He told her he had something very important to show and also tell her. Kaylee got into his car when she thought of how they had been friends once but when she found herself unconscious in a junkyard, she understood what had happened. Stiles had helped Vanessa to kidnap her. Kaylee was locked in a wrecked bus and Vanessa lit a fire around her, making Kaylee go into a traumatic state. The memories never stopped cause she was still seeing the fire in front of her. Vanessa, Zoe, and Stiles left her there to face her fears. Zoe called Kavinsky about it
SATURDAY EVENING, Kaylee walked past her father and Laura in the sitting room when she got home. They cheered her up concerning the game and she smiled at them widely as she walked out of the sitting room and up the stairs. She sat on her bed with a sigh and the memories from a few minutes ago played back in her head. She gripped her hair tightly when she remembered how Kavinsky had looked at her. "But we are not dating yet", she groaned before lying on the bed with a frown. 'Or was it just right to kiss him without being official?', she thought again with a frown. She groaned when she could not think straight and walked to the bathroom. She just took a long shower before walking out and dressed up. MONDAY MORNING Kaylee walked towards Kavinsky's front porch as usual and got into the car. He was already waiting there anyways. "Hey", he greeted in his thick, alluring tone and Kaylee turned to look at him. Instead of his usual smiling face, his face just looks dull and stiff.
Kaylee walked into her front porch after she got down from Stiles's car. She was about to open the front door to her house when she saw Kavinsky standing there, beside her house. She jumped at first before holding her hand against her chest and breathing out deeply. "What the heck, Kavinsky?", she asked immediately as she opened her eyes before walking towards him. She noticed the frown on his face when she got in front of him and she moderated her tone a little. "What are you doing here?", she asked but Kavinsky just kept staring at her with that frown stuck on his face. "You were with Stiles?", he suddenly asked and Kaylee rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah, he brought me home", she said nonchalantly. "Wow, how nice of him", Kavinsky replied sarcastically with a roll of his eyes. "So, what's up anyways?", Kaylee changed the matter as she shifted her weight on her legs. "You did not go out with Anna any longer?", Kavinsky finally eased the cold look he had on his face before. "Y
Vanessa groaned as she made her way inside the school. She could not believe she had left her phone on the chair before going to speak with that Bianca girl and Zoe did not even pick it up for her. She walked quickly with a frown and when she got to the basketball court, her legs went slow. The door was slightly open, so Vanessa could see the two young girls sitting on the bench inside, just beside the basketball court where players who did not play had sat. She scoffed and was about to barge in when her eyes glanced at Kaylee again and she realized what was happening. Kaylee was crying. Vanessa was sure she had just seen a tear fall from her eyes right now. Vanessa quickly took a step back and relied on her listening sense only. She could not risk them seeing her and she had to know what was happening. It could be her perfect comeback at Kaylee. But what was wrong? Did Kavinsky dump Kaylee? Did Kavinsky break Kaylee's heart? Oh, that would be great! ... Anna panicked when she
Kavinsky, Anna, Harry, Mr. Blaine, and Laura walked toward Kaylee with smiles and looks of pride on their faces. "Hey look! It's the star of today's game", Harry called out with a grin as they moved closer and Kaylee could not help but laugh. She met them halfway and said with a blush. "Stop teasing me", she said with a helpless pout and Harry chuckled. "You were really good while playing, honey", Mr. Blaine said with so much pride laced in his voice and Kaylee smiled. His daughter was cooking back to life little by little after all. "Thanks, Dad", she said softly, and soon when they had all taken turns teasing and praising Kaylee, Mr. Blaine left the hall with Laura. Kaylee turned back towards the trio and her eyes landed on Kavinsky. He had helped her so much in getting better at basketball. The thought of how he had helped her so much brought tears to her eyes, joyful tears. "Thank you", she said with misty eyes and he shrugged at her words. "Do not mention", he finally sa
Kaylee smiled. She had never been a part of something so huge and sportive. It felt really good. They all moved their hands away at once and the five players walked to the court. They wore a top and free skirt with a mixture of yellow and blue colors. Their opponent from Winston high wore red and blue instead. At the National Basketball Association (NBA), they play basketball in four quarters for 12 minutes each. Both schools have decided to play in only two quarters instead of 12 minutes as well which means in almost thirty minutes, the game would be over. The announcer told both teams to move to the court and they did. The game commenced and the ball was passed to the opponent's team. Seattle high players tried to get the ball from them but failed. One of Winston's high players managed to get to the other side of the court and jumped up, throwing the ball in the hoop and they got three points instantly. They gave themselves high fives and the game continued. They tried pass
He went to the kitchen and sipped water. The house had never been so empty and lonely to him before. He knew his mother had to go to school and his father, to the hospital but seriously, this was how the house was? He walked up the stairs and immediately crashed on the bed when he arrived in his room. He was heartbroken. He controlled himself and fought the urge not to go to that window right now just to look at her. He remembered her basketball game tomorrow and he looked around for his bag. He remembers not bringing out of the car which was still outside but who cares? All he needed was his phone. He grabbed his hair when he realized his phone was in his front right pocket. 'Seriously Kaylee, what have you done to me?' He thought as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed her number. The phone rang and she picked up on the third dial. "Hello?", her smooth voice echoed continuously in his ear. Kaylee could not believe he was calling her when he was just next do
"It wasn't a mistake, Kaylee", he said closing his eyes for a while before opening them back, and Kaylee's eyes which were already on his lingered for a long while. He loved Vanessa, didn't he? So, why is he saying this now? Well, there is only one answer to that if truly he had kissed her on purpose. He never loved Vanessa. It was all a big old facade; he and Vanessa's relationship. Well, had he not said so to her before? She looked at him and he stared right back. She realized she had not answered him and when she was about to talk, he beat her to it. "I like you Kaylee and I always will", he said and her eyes went wide. She panicked internally. What? Does he like her? Since when exactly? "I liked you since the moment I saw you and you had hit that door on my face", he started with a small smile on his face as the memories of that day replayed in his head. " And that time when you walked into the class in your black leather pants and black jacket and black boot. You emitted
Anna and Harry got down from the car as usual and took the next bus home. Kaylee placed her head on the car backrest with a sigh and Kavinsky took a glance at her in concern. She shut her eyes for a while and a few minutes later when she opened it, she got both confused and surprised. "Where are we going to? This is not the way home!", she said in a panicking voice as she turned her head to look at Kavinsky. Don't judge Kaylee, she was afraid. I mean, have you watched horror movies? Yesterday, he kissed her, and well, she didn't treat him so well. Then, he comes to school today and acts as if nothing had changed between them. Kaylee was thinking about a lot of things in her head right now. "Hey", Kavinsky called out to her and she turned to face him again. "We are just going to a restaurant in town, that's all", he said and Kaylee wasn't taking that as an explanation. "Why exactly are we going to this restaurant?", she asked squinting her eyes at him as if she was interrogati
