Seeing Kay in that dress had made Miguel realize that he
didn't really know Kay anymore. He tried to remember the last time that he had hung out and talked to Kay. But he
couldn't. He had gotten Charity, she had gotten Reese and they had become
strangers. Well no more! Miguel decided he wanted his friend back. He went to
wait for her outside of 6th period.
"Hey Kay"
" oh hi Miguel." Kay said surprised to see him.
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to walk you to History and ask you if you want
to go roller skating tonight."
"Roller skating?" Kay asked. They had not done
that in years.
"Sure I was thinking it could just be you and me."
Kay gasped. Time alone with Miguel! Nothing good could come
of that. Kay had sworn off Miguel and going on a "date" with him was
not going to help her resolve.
"I'm sorry Miguel I have a test to study for. Maybe
some other time." Kay said as she went into her history class. Miguel just
sighed.
------------
It was Tuesday and Miguel again waited for Kay outside of class.
"Hey Kay."
"Hello."
They started walking towards Kay's class.
"Do you want to go bowling tonight?"
"Um can't I have a paper to right. See you later."
------------------
It was Wednesday and Miguel again waited for Kay outside of
class.
"Hey Kay. Do you want to come over and play sega
tonight I just bought a new game.
"Sorry I told Simone I would come over her house today
and tomorrow." Kay replied as she went into her classroom.
-------------
It was Friday and Miguel was frustrated. All week he had tried to do something
with Kay and all week she had an excuse. She couldn't even do anything on
Saturday because Kay and Jessica had some squid festival to go to. If he didn't
know better he would think that Kay was avoiding him.
----------------
Kay was sitting in the book cafe nursing a latte when Simone and Jessica came
in.
"There she is!" Simone exclaimed. Jessica and
Simone walked over.
"Okay sis you have some explaining to do!"
"About what?" Kay asked.
"About why you have been over my house for the past two
nights but I didn't see you." Simone stated
"And why we are going to the annual Squid Festival
tomorrow." Jessica cried.
Kay cringed.
"I'm sorry guys. You didn't tell Miguel the truth did you?"
"No I told him you had been over my house because I
need help with my homework."
"Simone you ace all your classes!"
"Hey it was the first thing that came to my mind."
Simone answered
"Well it was better than squid! What were you thinking
Kay?"
"I'm sorry but Miguel cornered me, asking me about
Saturday. I had used all my good excuses earlier in the week and there was a
poster on the wall and well.... I'm sorry! So what did you say?"
"Well first I told him I had no idea what he was
talking about."
Kay groaned.
"But then when he said that you told him that we had
been planning it for weeks. I told him it was true but I hadn't told anyone
because I didn't want anyone to know that I like squid but since you already
told him..."
"He bought that?" Kay asked.
"I think so, but that is not the point. The point is
why are we all lying to Miguel?"
"Look I am sorry that I put you guys in that position.
It's just Miguel has been asking me out and I can't just say, no I have to have
a reason."
"Wait!" Jessica interrupted. "Miguel had been
asking you out on dates?"
"Not "dates"" Kay said "He wants to
hang out. Like old times just the two of us."
"That's weird." said Simone. "He has been in
Charity land for months. He never leaves her side and now he wants to do stuff
without Charity?"
"Yeah. I just don't get it." Kay shook her head.
"Any way I swore off Miguel and I am sticking to it!"
"But Kay" Jessica started. " You can not keep
avoiding him forever."
"I can try." Kay said.
