"Where the hell have you been?" I hear a voice shout at me. I think I hear an echo.
"Hiding from your voice."
"ha-ha, very funny. You skipped half of school yesterday AND you didn't come to school today." I know for sure I hear an echo. I look behind me, into Kyla's room and I see her reflection in the mirror. She's not looking in the mirror so she can't see me but I can see her. She's saying something but I'm not listening to her. She's so beautiful and I so have feelings for her... damn it. I walk into her room and stand in her doorway then hang up the phone. She looks at her phone, "She hung up on me. How could she do that?"
"Easy, it's all in the wrist." I say popping my wrist and smiling at her.
She walks up to me then wraps her arms around me, "Where have you been?"
Ooh, she smells like cotton candy. I wrap my arms around her then let go, "What were you so worried about? I'm fine."
She let's go of me but still stands extremely close to me, "Well, you went off with that girl and you skipped school then when I called you last night you didn't answer and then you weren't school this morning. I think as your best friend, I have a right to be worried." Kyla says matter of factly.
I smile because I think it's kinda cute, "Erika wasn't gonna rape me or anything, she's cool."
"Well, I don't know her," Kyla walks over to her bed to pick up her book bag, "For all I know she could be some axe murderer."
I laugh, "She's too hot to be an axe murderer, Ky."
She rolls her eyes, "And those are always the ones that get you." When she says "get you" she slides her hand across her throat.
And I just burst with laughter, I don't know why that was so funny. Maybe because she was so serious, "Yeah, Ky, Erika's gonna kill me in my sleep."
She slings her backpack over her shoulders, "So y'all already slept together? Was that what you were doing last night?" she asks with all seriousness. The way she's staring me down makes me feel like she's my girlfriend... or a cop.
"Hmm, maybe." I say smirking a little bit.
"You've only known her for two days, and you already hopped all over that? She could have AIDS, or syphilis or—"
I cut her off because I'm getting a bit grossed out, "Stop, stop stop." I cuff my hand over her mouth, "Shut up, I didn't do anything with her. And even if I ever wanted to you totally scared the hell outta me."
She's saying something but considering that my hand's still over her mouth, I can't comprehend. I move my hand away from her face, "So you didn't sleep with her or do anything with her?"
Damn, is everyone hard of hearing today, "No, I didn't sleep with her," but I did make out with her, "And...I didn't sleep with her. Isn't that good enough?"
She grabs my arms as I turn away from her so I guess I have to look at her, "Well, what else did you do with her?"
"I..." I start.
Her eyes grow bigger, I'm gonna milk this until the end, "You what?"
I lean into her ear and whisper, "I breathed air with her." I lean back then gasp, "Despicable, right?"
She sucks air in through her teeth as she narrows her eyes at me and all I can do is laugh, "That was so not funny." she punches me lightly on the arm.
"Oh but it was." I say still smiling.
"Seriously, what did you guys do?" she asks putting all her weight on her right foot. She looks like an angry cheerleader, ooh scary.
"We made out."
"Oh yeah? How was it? Did it start you up?" she says walking away from me into her bathroom, she's pissed.
I follow her into the bathroom, "It wasn't bad but there was no spark," I lean against the doorway, "So no, she didn't start me up, god, I wish there was a spark, she's so hot."
And she went in the bathroom for no reason because she walks out, right past me and I follow her, "Thought she was the love of your life?"
"No, you are." Did I say that out loud?
"What?" she stops then turns around and I bump into her.
I said that out loud, am I completely psycho or what, "I said you're beautiful," I start pushing her toward her room door, "Now are we gonna go to school or what?" I saved myself.
Her left eyebrow shoots up, "Uh, yeah... weirdo." she continues walking to her room doorway then stops and turns no her heel and I almost run into her again.
"What?" I say, I don't think I did anything wrong... yet.
