You Can Have The Best Of Me
Chapter 12: A song from the heart
The next day had come and Conner and Ethan were sitting in science Class. It was early morning and kids were coming in to take there seat.
"You kissed her!?" Ethan gasped at the thought.
"Shh.." He responded, "Not so loud."
Ethan started to chuckle, "Oh boy, that is so.. haha. So does that mean?" He asked.
"Im not sure. It sounds like it, but I don't know if we are." He said.
Conner sighed and then turned his head towards the door. Kira came walking in holding her guitar and notebook. She walked past Conner and Ethan and to the back where she laid her stuff against the wall. Conner glanced at Ethan and then got up to walk over to her.
"Hey Kira." He spoke up.
"Hey Conner." She turned around and replied. She was in a good mood.
He stuck his hands in his pockets, "How are you?" He asked.
"Good! Guess what!?" She exclaimed.
Conner raised an eyebrow as she dug through her note book. She pulled out a paper and handed it to him. Conner looked over it carefully. It was a music contest that. A winner would be able to do a free demo and perhaps more.
"Wow, you entering?" He asked curiously.
She nodded, "Yeah! It's this weekend. I really would like you to go Conner. Come and watch me."
He smiled, "Of course I will.
She gasped in excitement and gave him a big hug. Ethan watched them and then turned his head back to the front and saw Tommy walking in with his brief case. Kira looked at Tommy then back at Conner.
"After school, I need to finish this song I sung to you a few days ago. I plan on using it at the contest. Wanna keep me company?"
Conner thought for a sec, "Why not. I can skip soccer practice just this once." He responded.
"All right class. Take your seat." Tommy commanded everyone.
Conner nodded and went back to sit with Ethan. Kira took a seat near the side and class had begun. The class went by rather quickly and it was already lunch. Conner grabbed some few from the lunch line and walked into the cafeteria. He looked around and noticed Trent standing against the wall with his head down. Conner walked over to him.
"Hey Trent. You all right?" He asked.
Trent looked up. His eyes were darken and he was sweating. He gave Conner a sick look and then looked back at the ground.
"Dude, you look awful man." Conner said as he put his food down.
Trent pushed himself off the wall and stumbled past him and out the door. Conner watched as Kira appeared and started to talk to her. They both left out of sight together. Ethan walked up to Conner to see what he was looking at.
"Did you see Trent?" Conner asked, "He just left with Kira!"
Ethan nodded, "So? Come on, I found a table."
Conner continue to watch for a few minutes before picking up his food to find Ethan and his table. The rest of the school day finally past and kids were ready to go home. Conner grabbed his books and closed his locker. He made his way through the crowd and outside. He walked past the soccer field and near where all the picnic table were. Kira was sitting on one of them. She looked up and smiled as she saw him approach.
"You made it!" She said.
Conner took a seat next to her, "Yeah. So let's hear what you got so far."
"Ok." She said, "Let me see. I'll read you the lyrics I have so far. I actually started over to be honest."
Conner smiled and listen closely. She took out a piece of paper and began reading.
"Your touch makes my bones tingle. I see that in many ways we've grown together. I'm learning to love you better but sometimes we get thrown apart. I'm learning to love you better, still you hold the key. " She read carefully, "That's all I have really."
"It has potential." Conner chuckled, "It's really good."
"Thanks!" Kira laughed.
Conner looked down at the ground. His smile sort of faded away. Kira looked at him, wondering what was up.
"You all right?" She asked.
He looked up and at her, "I saw you with Trent during Lunch."
Kira rolled her eyes and looked away. She knew where he was going with.
"Where did you two go?" He asked.
She looked back at him, "Why do you need to know!?" She asked as she stood up.
"I just want to know what's going on between us." Conner asked.
She sighed, "Conner, just because I talk to some other guy, even Trent, doesn't mean I like him like him. You really do get jealous easily."
"I'm sorry." Conner mumbled.
"I'm sorry Conner. Maybe its not a good idea for you to come this weekend after all. I invited Trent also."
'What!?" Conner yelled.
She shrugged, "He look like he needed company. He's been acting distant lately. I thought maybe letting him come would do good for him. "
He groaned, "This is such crap."
"Sorry Conner. I have to go, I'll finish the song later." She said as she packed her guitar up.
She glanced at Conner who looked away and then she started to walk off. Conner turned back to see her leave and then looked down at the table. Kira had left the paper with the song on. He grabbed it and stuck in his pocket and started to head home. The sun had set and Conner was sitting in his room with the paper in front of him. He wanted to prove to Kira that she meant something and that Trent doesn't make him jealous. He was clueless though. He didn't' know how to write a song. The phone rang and he picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Conner. It's Ethan." His voice echoed from the other end.
"Hey Ethan, what's up?" He responded.
"Nothing. Thought I'd check in on you. Kira said you were mad." He spoke.
Conner mumbled, "I'm not mad. I'm trying to help Kira write this song. She left this paper with her song on it. I want to show her that I do care for her."
Ethan bursted out laughing, "You? Writing a song? That's an oxymoron right there."
Conner grew a bit irritated, "Oh look. I wonder what this button does." He spoke as he clicked the off button and tossed the portable phone to the side. He didn't know how long he was working on it but he woke up the next day in the same spot. He must had fallen asleep. He looked over at the paper. He had only written 4 lines. He got go up and changed his clothes and got ready for school, grabbing his bag and the paper. The contest was tomorrow so he had to make sure to give it to Kira today. He ran out the door and used his dino speed to get to school. He turned the corner and entered the school, walking towards Kira's locker.
"Kira." He spoke up.
She turned around and looked at him.
"You forgot this." He said and handed her the paper before walking off to his class.
Kira looked down at the paper. She read what she had and then noticed more words. It read, 'I loved you before the start of us and we. Back when it was you and I. When I had other girls and you had another guy. Thoughts of you engulfed my dreams at night. Desire for the union of your body and mine.'
Kira's eyes widen at the words she was reading. Did Conner really write this? She took out a pen and walked to her class. She was going to finish the song up. She smiled as she kept reading the words he wrote over and over again. Did he mean this? Was this applied to her? It sparked more ideas that's for sure.
"This song may be the best one I have." She whispered as she entered her class.
