Chapter 6- Getting To Know Karissa

Freddy went for a walk after Katie's "walk-out". He needed to sort things out. Did he love Katie or did he just like her or does he only see her as a friend…"a friend who is absolutely gorgeous…" he thought to himself. Then he bumped into someone for the second time that day.

"Second time today Jones."

"Huh? Oh, Karissa. Hey…"

"You look like shit, man…what happened?"

"I'd rather not talk about it…"

"Fine." She said. "Anyway I was gonna grab something to eat wanna come with?"

"Sure."

"So tell me about your life Jones."

"Why do you keep calling me Jones?" Freddy asked.

"Just got used to calling people by their last names. Anyway, Freddy, tell me about yourself."

"Well, I never really used to play drums until in fifth grade, this guy pretended to be a substitute teacher and got my whole class to start a band."

"Is that the one you're in right now?"

"No, we disbanded after high school. I'm still with two of the members though." he frowned at the thought of Katie.

"Hey?"

"Oh sorry…well I'm done, what about you? what's your story?"

"Well when I was 14 my friends and I started our band." she said as she took a bite from her sandwich. "And it's still my band until now. I grew up with those girls so it's no wonder that we're still together we're practically sisters!"

"How long have you known them?"

"Since the first day of kindergarten."

"Wow."

"We get that a lot."

"You should. Most people don't have friendships that last that long."

"Yeah…I love them to death." She said smiling. "We'd do anything for each other. I remember this one time an ex-boyfriend of mine cheated on me. The day after I found out he came to school with neck brace, apparently my friends beat him up." She laughed and so did Freddy.

"Anything else about you, you'd like to tell me about?"

"Well, we formed the band even if only our guitarists knew how to play. I had no idea how to play the bass!"

"Same thing here! I had no clue on how to play drums but I eventually learned and became really good at it."

"Yeah…" They just kept on talking until the restaurant closed. They exchanged numbers and promised to call each other. Freddy thought that this girl was so amazing. He liked her so much that he forgot about Katie.

A.N.-aww…poor Katie…R&R
