Chapter 8:
"Hey Britt!" Teddy said, excitedly, and gave Brittany a hug.
"Brittany this is Kerry..." Chris said, his arm already hooked around Brittany.
"Oh, Teddy, Kerry, this is Jessica..." Gordie said, and Jessica smiled sweetly.
"Ah ha, the fox..." Teddy whispered to Chris, and he nodded. Kerry sat uncomfortable and quiet for a minute, then said: "Where's Vern?"
"Aw, he's out with his old man today..." Teddy said, placing his arm around Kerry.
"So, Brittany..." Kerry started. "Chris told me you'd becoming today..."
"Odd, he's never mentioned you..." Brittany said, knowing this would make Kerry angry. Chris smiled at her comment. She didn't mind helping Chris, especially now that she knew Chris really liked her. But she still wasn't entirely convinced that Chris was over Kerry. He was a romantic after all.
After a while, they got bored and decided to walk around. Gordie and Jessica walked ahead, while Chris and Brittany walked somewhat behind them in the middle, and Teddy and Kerry walked behind those two a fair amount of distance.
"Did you see her face when you said that?" Chris asked Brittany, referring to her snobby comment.
"It came off a little bitchy..."
"Bitchy? More like brilliant!" Chris gave Brittany a kiss.
***********************************TEDDY AND KERRY************************
"I don't like that Brittany girl..." Kerry said, with her arms folded harshly across her chest.
"Why not?" Teddy asked.
"Because, she's just so... there..."
"Because that makes sense, I promise..." Teddy said, taking Kerry's black, flare glasses from her head. He placed his own in his pocket and tried on hers.
"Well, I don't know, they're getting awfully touchy..." Kerry said sourly, glaring at Chris and Brittany laughing. She intently noticed small yet meaningful touches Chris gave to her hips and her face.
"What'd you care?" Teddy asked, breathing on Kerry's glasses, and then cleaning them with his shirt.
"I don't..."
"Oh come on Ker, you've been acting weird all day. Do you have a thing for Chris or somethin'?"
"What?"
"Well, you're always starin' at him... I may be your guy now, but I'm still your best friend and I can still read you like a book."
"I know that. And I don't like Chris... I'm with you..." She laced Teddy's fingers with her own. She quickly glanced at Chris once more, he was giving Brittany a slow kiss, and then she looked at Teddy and smiled. "Come on, let's blow this..." Kerry said, pulling Teddy by the hand.
The two went off unnoticed back by the tree house. Teddy had stuffed Kerry's glasses in his pocket. They fell out just after they left the group, but Teddy was too distracted to notice. Kerry pinned Teddy against a tree, and kissed him passionately. Instantly knowing something was wrong with her, Teddy stopped her.
"Kerry, stop, stop..." Kerry sighed angrily. "What's the deal with you?"
"Nothing, I'm not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?"
"Kerry, other than what you may think, I'm not that oblivious to all things, especially when it comes to you, so what's wrong?" Kerry sat down, leaning against the tree, as Teddy sat beside her. She missed not talking about this with him the way she used to.
"I guess I'm just a little out of it lately,"
"Yeah, I'll say..."
"Yeah, I'm sorry..."
"For what?"
"I don't know, maybe because I haven't been focusing on you lately."
"What'd ya mean? We've been together the whole time..."
"Whatever, let's just forget it okay?"
"Okay... Sure..."
Kerry and Teddy kissed, and stayed there for a while just making out.
***************************BRITTANY AND CHRIS*****************************
Chris glanced behind him and saw that Kerry and Teddy were no where to be found.
"Hey, I think we lost someone..." Chris said to Brittany, and she looked behind her.
"Ah, I see. No worries, I bet there off somewhere, doing, well, I really don't wanna know..." Chris smiled, then his smile faded.
"Hey, you okay Chambers?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
"Are you sure you're over Kerry?"
"Of course. I'm just a little concerned about those two that's all. We all know how Teddy can be, and Kerry is very forceful herself. I just don't want them to do something they'll regret."
"That's my Chambers..." Brittany said and kissed Chris.
*********************************GORDIE AND JESSICA************************
"You're friends seem nice..." Jessica said.
"Yeah, 'seem' being the key word here." She shoved his arm a little.
"Oh Come on, if they were that bad you wouldn't be hangin' around them."
"That's true..." Gordie glanced behind him, then stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jessica asked.
"We're missing people..." Chris and Brittany caught up with Jessica and Gordie.
"Where are the Teddies?" Gordie asked.
"Don't know, don't care, let's go..." Chris said harshly.
"Aw man, don't be such a jackass..."
"They're probably making out somewhere, let's just go..."
"Hey, cool it Chris." Brittany said, wondering why Chris was acting this way. Brittany pulled him aside to talk to him alone. Did I say talk? It was more like yell.
"What the hell is your problem?" She said, and Chris sighed.
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"You have a crush on her still don't you?" She said, annoyed. Brittany was more upset at the fact that she felt that Chris had been lying. She couldn't stand when the guys yelled at her.
"No, I don't."
"Then what's your deal?"
"Nothing, I've just got a lot on my mind."
"Uh huh, well when you figure out what's what, then come talk to me." She said and turned to walk away.
"Brittany..." He called after her, but she didn't even glance at him. Brittany immedently started talking to Jessica as the three walked away. Chris sighed heavily to himself and walked in the other direction.
"Man Chris, what the fuck are you doing?" He said to himself. "It's not even like I know that much about Kerry. And now that's screwin' things up with Brittany. Weather or not I wind up with Britt, she's one of my closest friends, and I don't want to lose her. Besides, I know a lot about her and I like her, so I should just forget Kerry. Kerry should mean nothing to me." Chris, desperately trying to convince himself that his emotions were wrong, walked on. He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a voice off to the side.
"Damn it, I don't know why I keep thinking about this. Chris is nothing to me; all we did was kiss no big deal. Except it would be a big deal to Teddy... Oh man, that's gotta be why I still think about him. I'm just feeling guilty that's all." Kerry reassured herself. "He's nothing to me now. Nothing but one of Teddy's idiot friends." She smiled, making herself feel better. As if she convinced herself she wasn't insane. (cough cough)
Chris felt an overwhelming relief wash over him. Yet he couldn't help but to feel hurt that Kerry saw him as nothing even though he'd been trying to do the same to her.
"Hey Ker, I found them." Teddy said handing Kerry her glasses.
"Thanks," She said, and kissed him.
