Chapter 4
The following week Dylan moves back to his house and things haven't changed much Kelly and Dylan are still tight as ever but I can handle it better for Dylan sake even though I'm still not speaking to his bitch of a girlfriend.
"So, Brenda I was wondering would you like to go out Friday night" A boy named Mark asks.
"No" I say before walking away to head to class.
"Damn Brenda that's like the 12th guy you've turned down this week" Steve says.
"Well Steve what can I say I'm a heart breaker" I say jokingly.
Everything's great until lunch when Kelly corners me in the girl's bathroom.
"Move" I say through gritted teeth.
"You know what Brenda you are being totally unfair I wasn't the only one that betrayed you but it appears Dylan's back on your good side and I'm still in the dog house" Kelly yells angrily.
"What do you want from me Kelly?" I yell angrily.
"I want you to talk to me I want us to go back to the way things used to be I want my best friend back" Kelly yells.
"Well that's never going to happen because best friends don't break promises and don't steal each other's boyfriends" I yell angrily.
"I didn't steal him you broke up with him remember" Kelly yells angrily.
"Fine, but you still broke a promise swearing to never go after Dylan and you did when I went to Paris" I yell angrily.
"Brenda I'm sorry I can't take back what's happened I just want us to get past this and be friends again" Kelly says.
"I'm sorry Kelly but I can't get past this" I say.
"You can forgive Dylan but not me" Kelly yells angrily.
"I can't hate him Kelly do you know how much I wish I could hate Dylan but I can't and that's that so would you please just move" I say angrily.
"Fine, Brenda" Kelly says moving out of my way so that I can walk to lunch.
I hurriedly head to an empty table by myself and sit down and a few minutes later I feel someone sitting beside me.
"Bren you're obviously upset tell me what's wrong" Dylan says.
"Nothing me and Kelly just got into it again she's made because I forgave you but want forgive her" I say.
"Bren" Dylan starts when Kelly walks up.
"Well isn't this cozy my boyfriend and his ex sitting a table together" Kelly says snidely.
"This is neither the time nor the place Kelly" Dylan says angrily.
"Oh so when is the time and the place huh you did the same thing I did but yet and still I'm public enemy number one to Brenda" Kelly yells angrily.
I get up and walk away not able to stop the tears from falling. I hear Dylan yelling my name but I continue to walk away until I'm in the parking lot in Brandon's car. That's where Brandon finds me that afternoon in the back seat of his car sound asleep. He doesn't ask what happens he just drives home. I wonder if my life will ever get better.
I watched as one of the most important people in my life walked away from me I turn my eyes back to Kelly and glare at her angrily.
"What am I supposed to keep my mouth shut she's been treating me like dirt for months and I am fed up with it?" Kelly says angrily.
"You need to grow up Kelly really do you think any of this is easy on Bren you won you got me what does she have huh" I yell at Kelly.
"Oh yeah Dylan always stand up for Brenda what about me huh" Kelly yells back.
"What about you Kelly?" I ask.
She looks dumbfounded I look around to see most of the school watching our confrontation.
"I'm sorry Dylan I never thought about what Brenda's been going through" Kelly says sadly.
"That's your problem you don't think now if you don't mind I need to go find Bren to make sure she's okay" I say getting up and leaving the cafeteria.
I immediately spot Brandon and walk over to him.
"Hey, B have you seen your sister" I ask worriedly.
"Naw man is everything okay" Brandon asks worriedly.
"Her and Kelly had some words at lunch and she ran off" I say.
"Oh man was it bad" Brandon asks worriedly.
"Yeah Kelly pretty much screamed at her for forgiving me and not forgiving her" I say.
"Okay you want me to help you look for her" Brandon asks.
"Naw men you go enjoy your lunch" I say heading towards the library.
I search for Brenda the whole lunch period. I know I should have stayed with Kelly but I'm torn as to who matters more. I wanted to comfort Kelly because she's my girlfriend but I can't let Brenda go either. I can't find her so I head to class. That afternoon about 4 Brandon calls to tell me that Brenda's okay.
