Chapter Nine
I spotted Neal as soon as I walked into school. He looked at me, then turned away. I ran up to him.
"What the hell's the matter with you, Neal?"
"Leave me alone! I really don't feel like talking to anyone." I sighed.
"Dude, I'm your best friend! You better tall me what's up or I'll pound your ass into the ground!" He turned around.
"Yuki....she..well...she broke up with me, alright! Are you happy now?" I gasped. Well, sort of. I don't really gasp all that much.
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologize! She's moving back to Japan. Her grandmother's sick or something. Isn't that just great??"
"A long-distance relationship would be kind of-"
"I don't give a shit!" He kicked his locker, cursed, and spent the next few seconds hopping around in pain. Owen ran up to us.
"What's the matter, Neal?" I laughed and grabbed Owen's sholder.
"Let's go get a Pepsi!" Owen frowned.
"But I don't like Pepsi!"
"Neither do I, but let's go get one anyway," I said. I waved a friendly goodbye to Neal.
I ran in to Cleon on the way to lunch.
"What's up with Neal? He's acting like a bitch," he commented. I shrugged.
"You know how he gets when he's mad. He'll probably be a mean drunk, you know." He shrugged.
"I dunno Kel. He seems really pissed. He literally called our wonderful science teacher a sniveling little bastard with nothing else to do but sit on his fat ass and bitch at us." Wow. That was....kind of unlike Neal. Maybe we should have a chat. I dashed away from Cleon with a wave, and found Neal sitting by himself at one of the table's, eating a......a salad??? I sat down across from him, and pointed at his assortment of veggies.
"I don't know what to say, Neal. So this is what I'm doing. I'm going to-"
"Tell me to move on with my life??? IS that what your going to do??? Don't talk, Kel, just because you and Dom are so goddamned happy with each other." I smiled through gritted teeth. Since when did he get off making people's life so miserable because of his own heartbreakingly dastardly life??
"I love you too, Neal! I'm not telling you to move on! I really don't even know what to say! I'm just....really, really sad this had to happen." He looked away.
"I guess I've been really terrible to be around." I nodded.
"Too bad your probably going to get suspened for cursing off that poor man. And how'd you know about me and Dom?" Neal rolled his eyes.
"Please, Kel, he will not SHUT UP about you! It's Kel this, or Kel that, I want him to shut up!" I laughed.
"Maybe he's trying to annoy you to death." He smiled, the first one in what seemed like days.
"I wasn't lying, when I said that yesterday." I looked up at Dom, who was sitting face foward, his hands glued to the steering wheel.
"I didn't think you were, that would have been a mean joke, anyway." He laughed nervously.
"So.....do you..love me?" I had to think about that for a second. Did I? Tick. Tick. Tick. The seconds are passing, Kel.
"Yes," I said, startling myself. Dom's hands dropped from the staring wheel and he turned to face me. We started kissing me, and damn, it was quite passionate. I'm surprised the windows didn't steam up, like in that awful chick flick, Titanic. I vaguely heard a knicking at the window. I cracked an eyelid and saw my dad standing there, punding furiously. I let go of Dom and rolled the window down.
"What's this I hear about you getting married?" Oh shit. Not again.
So I explained it to him, about how Neal opened his big mouth and blabbed about whatever. Of course, he didn't believe me. I gritted my teeth. And why would he? He was a little pissed at finding me and Dom about to get it on in the front seat of his car, and in our driveway, no less! Then, he spent the rest of the night half-crying about giving away his little girl. These stupid people!!! Why would they not listen to me??? So. One more person ensnared in this stupid web. I put my head in my hands. This was going to be a long week.
