"It really sucks that you're living with Randy now. I mean with Kaitlyn at home everything just sucks" Eve frowned. The two were now in Eve's dorm, as Kelly packed up her stuff. Randy was going to come by shortly after work and pick her up. Kelly threw a few dresses in her luggage before facing Eve.
"I'm sorry Eve. Maybe I should've stayed till Kaitlyn came back," Kelly said feeling a little guilty for leaving Eve behind. Eve laughed and shook her head.
"No it's fine. I'm not a kid anymore Kel" she assured her.
Kelly nodded and went back to packing. "You know Phil really wants you to come by the apartment if you get the chance to. It'll be pretty cool if you even dated him. I mean he's changed so much over these past couple of weeks," Kelly said. The room fell silent, and Kelly moved her head to look at Eve. She looked concentrated. Kelly walked over to her and touched her shoulder, jerking Eve away from her thoughts. "You okay?" she asked.
Eve sighed and looked up. "I'm sort of seeing someone," she said.
Kelly squinted her eyes, "Seeing someone? When has this been happening? And with who?" she kept the questions coming.
"Right after thanksgiving Rick asked me out. He's a sweet guy and I think I should give him a chance," she said smiling.
"What about Phil? Does he know?" Kelly asked frowning.
"What about him? Phil and I have nothing between us. And to be honest I don't think we'll ever have anything between us. I mean he's the total opposite of me. The whole opposite attract theory doesn't work for us" Eve explained.
Kelly thought for a long time about what Eve just told her. Opposites attract doesn't work for her? That's ridiculous. Randy and herself are the complete opposites, yet they love each other way too much that it's just crazy. She sighed and walked back to her bed. "Are you sure you're doing the right thing? I mean Phil seems like he likes you a lot. I don't think anyone has seen him like that before" Kelly said softly. She wondered how Phil would react. So far she's never seen him sad. Would she now? She shook her head and stared at Eve who rubbed her forehead.
"Frankly Kel, I'm happy with Rick right now. Phil doesn't cross my mind at all" Eve whispered as she looked down at her hands.
Kelly nodded. She had to accept her friends' decision. She grabbed her luggage off the bed and begun to pull it out of the dorm room. "So have you heard from Kaitlyn yet? Poor girl."
Eve shook her head. She led Kelly to the elevator. "Not one text. I just hope she's doing okay. She doesn't ever take breakups well" Eve said.
"I hope she'll be back before midterms. I kind of want to see her before we all leave for the Christmas holidays" Kelly said sadly. She missed Kaitlyn these few days, and she hoped that Kaitlyn was pulling herself together. It bugged her how she didn't even let Kelly and Eve know before making the decision. But if that's what she needed, then Kelly respected that.
"Well have fun with Randy. I'll swing by whenever I can" Eve told her. Kelly hugged Eve tightly before pulling away and entering the elevator.
Kelly and Randy walked to the boxing club hand in hand. He was telling her about the first time he ever wanted to box and how his dad was proud of him. Kelly listened carefully and only interrupted him when she wanted to hear something clearly. He appreciated her for not talking while he was. Randy stopped in his tracks right outside of the boxing club. He faced Kelly and placed his hands on her hips pulling her body closer to him. "This is my last match before my coach decides to actually pay me for this. I might just get a proper job, and finally be able to quit working at the mechanic shop," he told her.
Kelly smiled up at him and reached to kiss his lips. "I'm proud of you," she whispered.
He grinned widely. "It's just so unreal. I'm really nervous, I need to win this match, and I'm glad you're here. You're my good luck charm," he told her.
Kelly blushed and looked down. "No I'm not. You were doing fine before I came" she replied.
"Actually the first time my coach started putting me in these matches I was losing. The day you first came here was the day I won my first match," he told her.
Kelly gasped and looked up at him to meet his eyes. He nodded and pressed his lips against her forehead. "Thank you" he said.
Kelly wrapped her arms around his neck, and continuously kissed him. "God, you're so handsome. If they don't hire you, they're missing out on this," she whispered. She grabbed the front of his shirt before finally pulling him for a long passionate kiss.
They pulled away from each other a couple of seconds later, breathless. Randy took Kelly's hand again and led her inside the boxing club. They looked around and noticed how the building was packed with many students. Randy's heart raced a bit. This is what he's wanted his whole life. If he could get paid for what he's doing right now, he'd be the happiest man. And finally having Kelly by his side to support him made him beyond happy.
Randy kissed Kelly one last time before sliding into the ring. Kelly stood by the bleachers. She was so nervous for him. She looked around and finally her eyes landed on Randy's coach who seemed like he was in a serious discussion with someone. Kelly hoped Randy would finally get paid to do this job. She knew how much he hated working at the mechanic shop part time. She looked over to the doorway and was surprised to see Eve walk in with Rick. Eve waved at Kelly and walked over to her.
"Thanks for coming guys" Kelly said smiling widely.
"Anything for you Kel" Rick laughed. He faced the ring and waited for the match to start. A few minutes passed and Phil and Dolph also joined them at the bleachers. Phil's eyes kept wandering off to Eve and Rick, making Kelly notice. She thought to tell him about this, but decided it was best later. The bell rang making everyone finally have their full attention on the ring.
