(A/N: Hey! Just to let you all know, this is a song fic from the song "All Of This" by Blink 182. I'll probably just do a line from the song for every chapter and end the story with the last line of the song. You get it? Great. OK, well about the review from 'swimmerkitti': first of all, if it makes you happy I changed the way you spell 'Zack' in my second chapter and second, who really cares what age I said they are? MAYBE they DO all have birthdays after June? We don't know that. Third, well, yet again, I will continue to change to the RIGHT spelling of the characters names just for you. Although it doesn't seem to matter much to me. And last, everyone makes small spelling mistakes in fanfics and I don't really care myself if I do. There wasn't that much spelling errors. I checked.The prgoram I use for my writing doesn't have spell check and I don't exactly want to download the one off of here. All of that was not intended in anyway to be rude or mean. I don't want you to go thinking that I won't accept your comments or constructive criticism. I just kinda thought that yours was just stuff that kinda maybe bugs you when you read stories? I don't know... it's just what I think. I thank you for the constructive criticism. Really, all I care about in stories is that they have a good plot and it's well written work. Spelling and going to check the movie with subtitles for the right names (when really you could just watch the credits)... I don't care about it that much. And I don't even have the movie. (yet.) But yet again, I hope you'll still read my story and maybe it will be better for you in the second chapter. But anyways, I hope you all like this chapter and PLZ review! BrOoKe)
All Of This
Chapter Two
With All Of This I Know Now
On Friday, Freddy walked into class, late as usual. Katie and Summer laughed as he took his seat a few desks back from Katie. Katie looked back, she was going to ask him why he left the other day, but when she did he wouldn't make eye contact with her. He just wouldn't look at her. Katie could tell that he was trying not to, or else he would've noticed her by now. He always used to.
After school, she ran up to him in the halls and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey!" she said, cheerfully as he kept his dull attitude and ignored her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Why were you trying to avoid looking at me in math class today?" she asked.
"I wasn't. I just didn't see you."
"Freddy, I know that's a lie. I was only sitting a few seats down and we always talk to eachother during math. You always see."
"Well, I didn't today," he replied.
"Why are you acting like this?" she asked him, walking in front of him so that she made him look at her.
"Acting like what?" he asked, looking her straight in the eye.
"Why do you keep ignoring me and acting all sad around me, like you don't even want to be around me?"
"Look, Katie, I-"
"Katie. Katie!" Summer called from down the hall as she pushed through the crowd to come get Katie. "Katie!" she said as she ran up to her. "I've been looking all over for you!" she then noticed Freddy as he started walking away with a sad look on his face.
Katie shook her head as she stood there, cross armed looking at Freddy leave and turn the corner. "What's wrong with him?" Summer asked.
"I don't know.. I was just about to find out."
"Oh, well, don't worry about him. He's too stupid to notice that you like him and he knows that he likes you," she said as she wrapped her arm around Katie's and walked down the hallway.
"He doesn't like me, Summer. And, I don't like him. We're just friends..." as she said that, she knew inside that she did. She just... didn't want him to know for some reason.
"Okay... please let me stop you there. First of all, I know that Freddy likes you. And, second, I know that you like him. It's more obvious everytime that you guys are together. Please just admit that you like him!?" she pleaded.
Katie paused there for a second. Thinking it over in her head thousands of times over. "So, aren't you so excited to meet Kyle?" she asked.
Summer was confused. "What? Why won't you answer me Katie?" she asked.
"Oh, look, it's Zack. I've gotta go talk to him about something in math class... I'll see you later!" she said as she walked off down the halls in the whirlwind of people.
Summer stood there, then got an idea. She walked around the corner of the hall and down around another few corners. She saw Freddy standing outside, leaning against the wall with his skateboard in hand.
"Hey, Freddy..." she said, walking up to him.
"Hey..." he said.
"So, what's up with you and Katie?" she asked.
"Nothing's up.." he replied.
"Freddy.. I know something's up," she paused. "Why did you walk out on her the other day?"
"I told you I had to do something!" he said, walking away.
"I know and you know that that was not the reason."
"Summer.. just leave me alone, okay?" he asked.
She stopped walking and looked at him. "This is because of Kyle, isn't it?" she asked.
He turned around and looked at her.
"Why don't you just tell Katie how you really feel?" Summer asked.
"You don't understand how many times that I've tried. Everytime that I try to, someone else comes up or gets into the conversation. There's just no use.... I'm just giving up," he said as he turned to walk away.
"Would you want Katie to give up on you?" she asked.
He looked at her. He had nothing to say. He didn't know what to say. He just hesitated to speak, and then put his skateboard down to go home.
"You know you wouldn't want her to.." she said as he just glanced back and then continued down the street.
That night was the night of one of their first gigs, Freddy had to be around Katie... and Kyle, too.
She didn't exactly know what to say to him anymore. He had nothing to say to her, as he obviously was trying to avoid her as much as possible.
They would walk past eachother, as one would look away and the other would look and one would look as the other looked away. It was like their way of communicating somehow. They both knew it was going on.
After an awesome show, Freddy was putting his drums away as he noticed Katie standing in the auditorium with some guy... it was Kyle.
He looked over as he noticed that it was Freddy.
"Oh, hey Freddy!" he said.
Freddy just kind of looked around and kept going with his drums.
Katie walked up behind Kyle, "You guys know eachother?" she asked.
"Oh, well our parents used to be like best friends when we were little." Freddy tried to ignore the fact that Katie was staring at him, wondering why he never mentioned that he knew Kyle. "Didn't he tell you?"
"No.. he seemed to have missed that..." she said, looking at him as he nervously put his drums away and then, walked off.
As Katie finished talking to Kyle, she ran around to try and find Freddy when she finally found him listening to his walkman in the prep room backstage.
She knocked on the door as he didn't look back and knew that it was her. She walked in and sat down beside him. She looked at his walkman sitting in his lap and turned down the volume completely.
He looked at her with a disappointed look and turned it back up. Then, she turned it back down again as he got frustrated and took off his headphones.
"What do you want?" he asked.
She just looked at him as she sat there. "Why didn't you tell me about Kyle?"
"I didn't know it was that Kyle..." he said.
"Don't lie to me."
He looked at her, deep into her dark brown eyes. "I know Kyle. I know that he's good at everything and just exactly what every girl wants. They all just seem to fall for him and I knew that if you met him, he would get you right away without you even thinking twice about it. Obviously, he did."
She looked at him. She didn't know what to say. Freddy Jones was never the kind of guy to speak up and say what he actually thinks and feels about a person. She thought that he was always a person that had to look the right way and be the right person so that no matter what, he was liked.
"Freddy..." she began. She was scared to say it. She was scared that if she did say something, she would lose the entire friendship that she and Freddy had had for such a long time. She didn't want to lose that... but she knew she had to take the chance. "you've got me. You always have had me. There's never been a time that you didn't." She was so happy to have gotten it out. To have said what she had always wanted to say to him. "Kyle is cool... but nowhere near as cool as you or as fun to be around as you. The thing is... he isn't you."
His heart sank. Right to the bottom of his stomach. Then, he took the chance as he leaned in and finally, one of their moments ended in a way that they had always wanted it to end... with a kiss.
