I have another POTF fic written on paper, but it's really cheesy, so I might not post it... but if I do, it won't be out till after this one... anyway, here's chappie 7, enjoy!
Chapter 7 - It's Too Late
I did NOT want to go to school the next day, but I had to go to say goodbye to Phil.
after all, I would never see him again. I hit the snooze button on my alarm clock about 2 times,
until eventually my mom came in and woke me up.
" Honey, I know you're upset about Phil, but you have to at least say goodbye... plus
you have an algebra test today. I'm not letting you get past that, " my mom said, sorrow in her
eyes. I knew she felt sorry for me, but I knew I had to go, so I got up and started getting ready.
Even though I took the bus to school, my mom said she would drive me since I was so upset. I
thanked her with a huge bear hug, and she drove me to school.
When I got there, I saw Via and walked with her to class. I didn't see Phil until before math, which was our final period. When I saw him rush up to me, I felt like breaking down again, right there in his arms. But I managed to hold myself together and was able to talk to him.
" Keely! Great news... I'm not leaving! " Phil exclaimed excitedly. I looked at him and suddenly I felt like jumping into his arms and kissing him, never wanting to let go. I was SO relieved that he wasn't leaving. I knew he could tell.
" Really? That's awesome! " I yelled to him, looking him in the eyes. But then my smile turned upside down and I looked down at the floor. It took him a second to notice.
" At least not for a while! " he said. I glanced at him with a sad smile then.
" How long is a while? " I asked.
" I don't know, Keel, " he said.
" Are you going to be here for Groundhog Day, Christmas? My Sweet 16? " I asked.
" I don't know, Keel. But I do know I'll be here tonight to go to the dance with you! "
I looked at him once more. He looked at me uncertainly, knowing I had bad news.
" What's wrong, Keel? "
" You told me you were leaving... " I said, dragging out my words sadly.
" So? " he asked me.
" Phil, I'm sorry... I already asked Owen, " I said, confessing that I asked him, but only because I might be able to get over Phil. And I was desperate for a date.
Then, I didn't know what to say. I just slammed my locker and walked away from him, looking at him one last time before heading once again to the girl's room.
End of Chapter 7
I know, it was short... but I have to go to bed... maybe Chapter 8 will be up by 2 morrow.
Thanks so much for the reviews!
