Keely sighed as she took out her Government book out of her locker. She was still irritated that Bonnie didn't hear Phil's secret. Then again, maybe she wouldn't tell her. Keely wasn't sure if they were still going out. Maybe Bonnie had to ascertain herself about Phil's feelings. If that was true, a dark part of Keely wanted Bonnie's heart to be shredded to a thousand pieces if Phil returned to the future. This part of Keely… this, this GothiKeely would've given anything to see her sister's face as Phil gets into his time machine, never to see the poor girl again.

Keely slammed her hand in her locker door, and swore loudly. Still, for having such thoughts about her sister, she reckoned she might have had it coming. She glared at the few people staring at her.

"Keely!" Phil called out. Keely rolled her eyes. She still was a little ticked off at Phil. "Listen… I'm really sorry about what happened… I shouldn't have snapped at you like I did…"

Keely turned around.

"I just… I know that our being together is weird for you-"

"Phil, that's not it! That's not it at all!"

"What do you mean?"

Keely sighed. "It's great that you like Bonnie. As long as you're… stuck here, you might as well be happy, right? So, what better way to be happy than--"

"Keely, we broke up." Keely widened her eyes, saying nothing. "I mean… we both noticed that you were kind of affected by it… We knew it was awkward for you. And… we agreed that going out wasn't worth me losing my friendship with you… Look, she knew that we cared for each other, and she noticed that you were really distant when we were going out… She was worried you might do something drastic…"

"But… what about how you felt about her? Don't you still feel--"

"Look, Keely, I love Bonnie--"

"So why did you break up with her?"

"But I'm not in love with her. I guess I just forgot about you, and I'm really sorry… But now I'm worried that I might not find somebody that's right for me."

"Oh, you won't have any problems with that," Keely said, passively. Still, Phil apologized, and she was glad he did. She wouldn't let him know that, though. Not yet.

"How do you know?" Phil asked.

"Phil, everybody likes you. You're funny, smart, nice… everybody likes you." Keely sighed, and started to walk away.

"Do you like me?" he asked. Keely stopped dead in her tracks, and slowly turned back towards him. "I have to know… Do you… just, like me, at all?"

Keely looked Phil up and down, and sighed. "No."

Phil's eyes saddened as Keely walked away down the hall.

Read and respond. Sorry about the short chappies…
