Katie Parker's Residence
July 21st, Monday, Sophomore Year
Katie's POV
I stared at the paperwork on my bed shuffling through each paper scanning the words checking for any important details "You almost done?" Mia asked as she stared at her teal blue nails yawning from boredom "Payton is going to be furious if you don't hurry it up" Mia said while looking in my direction she smirked. I stared back rolling my eyes playfully as I sat on my bed with dark blue denim jeans on "Yeah I'm almost finished just checking through all the club funds and then we can roll out" Mia got up from my vanity table and walked towards my bedroom door "Alright I'll be outside in the car" she said walking out of my bedroom, I smiled, then I gathered up my papers neatly. I soon also walked out of my bedroom making a left down the hallway to my fathers office, I couldn't help but get nervous from our encounters. Henwas very strict and over the top, always expecting me to always be the best. I stopped at his office door slightly knocking maybe hoping that he wasn't inside…but I had a feeling he was "Come in!" his voice was loud, it startled me a bit. I opened the door smiling "Hey dad...I got the club funds together and they seem to be equalized out pretty well" I spoke as I handed him the papers. He quickly skimmed through them and had a smirk "Nice job" I had an even bigger grin as I childishly skipped out of his office with joy, though it soon faded with the second thought of what his anger would be if I hadn't done it right. I sighed and soon grabbed my I-Phone 7 with a rose petal glass case and my brown leather strapped purse. I the walked down the stairs finally grabbing my keys on the key rack "Bye mom!" I said to my mother who had been in the living room watching her favorite cooking show "See ya later!"
Normal POV
Mia sat in the car staring at her phone scrolling through latest fashion tips, Katie walked out the house walking towards her Black SUV. The girl opened the door and Katie was quite confused "Did I leave my doors unlocked?" Mia raised her eyebrows and gave Katie a what do you think? Kind of look. Katie slightly chuckled and hopped into the drivers seat. She put the keys into the ignition starting the car, she backed out of the driveway and rolled the windows down "Payton is definitely upset, we are legit 20 minutes late and the sale is in 15" Mia spoke, but in a amused tone "Yeah that is pretty bad" Katie said as she made a right "Oh look! She is face timing me right now" Mia couldn't help but feel annoyed at the moment "Hey bestie wha-" Payton cut Mia off with an upsetting reaction "Where are you guys! I need to get those shoes before all of those other girls do! It has to be in my back-to-school outfit collection!" Payton's screams through the phone hurting Mia and Katie's ears "Calm down we'll be there in about 3 minutes" Katie said from the side, she was giggling from Payton's reaction "I swear if y-!" Mia then cut her off, returning the favor "Okay bye!" Mia hung up and Katie couldn't help but burst out laughing "Oh Mia why in the world would you do that!" Katie continued to laugh, Mia was simply unfazed though she smirked "Payton gets like this every time a shoe sale comes up" The cheerleader said as she continued to scroll down on her phone.
Katie's car soon rolled up to Payton's home. She saw the girl sitting on the front steps of her home with a angry pout. Katie honked the horn to get her attention, Payton looked up startled and happy "FINALLY!" She said loudly while hurrying over to the SUV. She opened the door and hopped into the backseat "You guys are so mean for being late!" Payton said, Katie started to drive again "Sorry Payton, I had to handle some paperwork real quick" Katie said a bit guilty "Nah its cool Katie, but I o have some tea!" Mia's eyebrow raised interested in the sudden gossip her prep friend had "Do tell.." Mia spoke as she stopped staring at her phone "Oh yeah! I am still upset about you hanging up on me!" Payton brung up in a childish manner causing Katie to slightly giggle "Oh whatever! Spill the tea please!" Mia said frustrated, Payton was amused with Mia's reaction as she teased her "Okay Okay…I have decided I finally want to go out with Ezra!" The car was quiet as Katie rode down the road getting closer to the mall "What? Why is there no reaction?" Mia sighed unsatisfied "Payton we all kind of knew you digged each other" Katie admitted glancing at the brunette haired girl from her front mirror "What! Really? Was I that obvious" Payton blushed Mia smirked "Very"
Katie pulled into the mall parking lot which was quite crowded, she stopped and put the car in park taking her keys out of the ignition "What I really though I was going to hear is out your sexually attracted to Julian" Payton blushed madly and glared at Mia "Why you!" Mia hopped out of the car quickly as Payton chased after her the two laughed as they play fought in the parking lot not caring if any cars had came or what other people thought. Katie reached to unbuckle her seatbelt buckle but stopped for a moment. Her eyes stared blankly at the wheel sadly
Katie's POV
Its moments like these where I feel lost and alone. Like I don't belong and I knew this after time passed when they would brag n about how much they knew about one another when I bet that none of them could tell me one single thing about myself. Which I can admit was partially my fault. But why tell someone about yourself if they really don't want to indulge or give a damn about you. I honestly ask myself sometimes why am I even around them still if I know that they really don't care.
And its because I care.
Normal POV
Payton and Mia stopped playing around "Hey! Katie! Come on!" Mia shouted, Katie got out of her daze and unbuckled her seatbelt putting on a fake smile she opened the door of her car and closed it "Coming!"
Boba&Tea Coffee Shop
July 21st , Monday, Sophomore Year
Normal POV
Quinn was on her laptop looking at her recent film footage, while Beckett and Chase sat at the table waiting for Hannah to arrive "You film anything interesting?" Chase asked curious as he drank some hot tea "Actually I did and I regret filming any of it" Beckett was surprised it was Quinn's words "Whoa why would you say that?" Quinn sighs and closes her laptop "I'd rather not talk about it" Chases eyes soon lingered on two people who entered the Coffee shop "Isn't that Autumn and Wes?" Quinn turned around to see the artist and slacker hanging out, Beckett smirked "Looks like a date.." Chase said with a proud smile, while Quinn had a slight smirk she rolled her eyes "Shall we greet them?" Chase asked curiously "Oh why not.." Quinn spoke, Beckett agreed. The three of them got up and walked over to the duo "Hey Autumn!" Chase and Beckett also greeted the girl "Hey Wes" then Quinn soon greeted the slacker as the boys did the same 'So what's going on here? You two on a date?" Chase asked cunningly, Autumn and Wes blushed at the comment "N-N-No! We were just meeting up that's all!" Quinn couldn't help but enjoy Chases teasing, Beckett smiled at the two "Yeah what she said" Wes said slightly disappointed with Autumns response. Though they couldn't catch on with Wes's reaction. Hannah walked into the coffee shop "Hey Yall! It is quite crowded anit it!" Hannah said in her country accent, everyone greeted the sweet girl "Want to join us you two?" Quin invited the duo "Sure why not!" Autumn could help but to agree, Wes was slightly annoyed at the interrupted and possible alone time they could have had but he sighed and followed the group
Sunny Side Mall
July 21st , Monday, Sophomore Year
Normal POV
Katie, Payton and Mia were hand in hand as the walked around the mall carrying bags from Pink and Gucci stores "This is so fun! Eve though I missed that sale.." Payton said, Katie felt a bit guilty but Payton playfully nudged her "I'm just kidding" Katie smiled as well as Mia, Katie stopped and glanced at a store "Hey I'll catch up with you guys later meet me at the food court kay?" Payton and Mia looked slightly confused "But were supposed to stick together…" Katie smiled "I'll be back soon!" Katie walked away to go find the store she was looking for. Payton looked upset and she sighed "Well she said shell be back" Mia spoke "She always gets like that when we hang around sometimes, she's been totally weird lately" Payton said worried about her friend, Mia sighed "I'm glad she left actually so you can tell me what exactly went down with Wes and Sakura" Payton's eye widened as a shot of guilt could been seen on her face "Can..Can we sit down first?" Payton said as she gripped her bags tighter, Mia nodded
The two found a mall bench to sit at as Payton looked at her knees "So what happened?" Mia asked gently worried about the prep "I don't really want to say anything about what they did…or what I saw happen" Mia then sighed "I understand…but you said they kissed right?" Mia pried "I really don't want to talk about it anymore" Payton decided and soon it went silent. As silence took over the thought of Nishans sad face entered their minds. Payton spoke up "If he heard about this...I wouldn't..no I couldn't forgive myself he would be heartbroken!" Payton exclaimed, Mia soon came to the realization and got nervous as well as scared "Your right…don't tell him or anyone else about this! Especially Autumn she would blabber right away. Payton sighed with relief "Okay I wont let anyone else know" Katie then spotted the two girls on the bench "Hey! I'm back" she walked over to the two "I guess you guys were closer than I expected I was just about to…What's wrong Payton?" Katie was curious why Payton's expression was so sad. So guilty? "Oh nothing! Let's go I am starrrving!" Mia smiled "Yeah me too!" The cheerleader spoke and Katie followed the two "Okay..?"
Football Field
July 21st , Monday, Sophomore Year
Julian's POV
I sat on the bleachers staring at the football field while Ezra played his guitar, I couldn't help but be a bit conflicted "Hey Ezra…" I spoke in a curious tone "Yeah" He stopped moving his fingers across the guitar strings to listen "Has a girl ever said on thing to you then another?" Ezra smirked "Plenty of times! Females tend to be difficult when it comes to emotions they can be all over the place!" I couldn't help but find that not helpful in any way with my situation. I sighed making the musician frustrated with my actions, not that I cared I had a lot going though my mind right now. The heat might've been getting to me but that day with Autumn I couldn't get out of my head. She told me she liked us being together, though what did that mean? What did that make us? "UGHHH!" I groaned in frustration while from the corner of my eye I could see Ezra giving a pitiful look in amusement "Really dude" I said to Ezra, he busted out laughing "To pitiful!" I frowned but sighed in defeat as the thoughts on my mind soon took over.
