Ah I know this isn't a very long Chapter. But I could of kept going on after this ended, but it had to end there since the next part goes all together and would of made this chapter waaaaaaaaay too long. lol
Stokley sat next to Stan in his car as they drove. She stared out her window as they both sat in silence. Stan broke it.
"So, you know, I was thinking we could go out Saturday. Sound good?" He asked.
"Yeah, that sounds good." She said softly. Still staring out the window.
"I thought we could go to the new restaurant that's opening." He looked over to her and smiled. She smiled back at him.
"That sounds really great, Stan." It was a fake smile. Everything about them was fake. Right from the smiles to the relationship in general. It had been real. She had loved him. He had loved her. But they had drifted. As the months went by, Stan became more and more caught up in studying. She was proud of him though. He knew what he wanted in his life. But that also meant he had almost no time for her. At first she had thought he was cheating on her. All the days at school that she would ask him if he wanted to do something and he would say he had to study, she had taken it as a sign. But she was proven wrong. She called and he would always be there. She even sunk to the low of walking by his house, every time the light in his room being on. He was honest. She looked over to him. He looked so perfect sitting there. They both knew it was over. They had felt their relationship begin to drift, and neither had done anything about it. Now it was over. And neither of them were calling it off. They let it go on.
"So um, what are you doin' tonight?" He asked looking towards her again.
"Nothing I guess." She shrugged. "Rent a movie. Who knows." She looked over at him. "What about you?"
"Ah, I don't know. I'm tired of studying. Wanna go to a movie?" She nodded. Wow, he was actually making a attempt to save the relationship, though it was far past saving point.
"Sure. Pick me up?"
"Yeah. Round 7."
"Ok." That's the way their conversations went now. They used to be so long and sincere, so full of love. Now they were down to one or two words per sentence. Then they would be over. He pulled up at her house. She sat there for a second then turned to him and they kissed. It did nothing to her anymore. It used to feel so great. So wonderful. Now it was just something they did when one was going to leave or if it just felt like the right moment. She smiled again.
"See you tonight." He said as she got out of the car.
"Yeah, see you tonight." He drove away and she walked towards her house.
Kalli sat in her room that night as she looked out her window over the neighborhood. She sighed. It was nice here. She looked back into her room. They had gotten a really nice house. She loved it. It was so much better than the one they had before.
"Kalli, are you done unpacking? I need all the boxes." She heard her mom call from downstairs. She looked around the room. Almost everything was unpacked. She fell onto the floor and dumped the rest of the contents from the boxes that remained onto the floor. Then stood up and put the boxes into one pile.
She got downstairs and pushed the boxes over to her mom.
"Thank you honey." She said with a smiled. Kalli smiled back at her.
"You're welcome."
"So, how's school going?"
"I've only had one day there mom." She said with a small laugh, then looked down the floor.
"Yeah, well, make any friends?"
"Yeah, kind of." She thought of Casey, Zeke, and Stokley. They were friends, weren't they?
"Are any of them boys?"
"Mom, my life is my life." She started back up the stairs. Her mom liked to obsess over the fact that she sometimes had more friends that were boys than were girls, and then she didn't always have an actual boyfriend. It got annoying.
She got back into her room and fell onto her bed, then stared at the ceiling. She thought of Casey and Zeke. They both were cute. Casey was so quiet like. And shy. She thought that was just too cute in itself. She smiled as she thought about it. But then Zeke was somewhat of a bad boy, yet he had a soft side, she knew it. She rolled onto her side and closed her eyes as she thought of the two of them. She started to wonder if they liked in a way other than a friend.
