-Unexpected-

I walked down the hall noticing that only a few feet in front of me was Kendra coming towards me calling my name. She really wasn't a person I wanted to see much less talked to right now, but I wasn't able to just brush her off. So, after she reached to where I was standing I sighed to myself and allowed myself to respond to her. "What?"

"How are you doing?" She had said as if nothing happened. I had to wonder sometimes what was her problem. She made sure it was known that we are no longer dating not even twenty- four hours ago, but now she wants to make small conversation.

"Kendra, you can't just walk up to me and ask 'How are you doing?'."

"Why not?" Did she really need me to spell it out for her. If I had been the one to break up with her she would have sent Spinner out after me and completely ignore me or whatever.

"Cause you just... you just can't." Which was true, I don't think she should bother trying to talk all friendly with me, when she clearly didn't want to be my friend or anything more.

"Why, what do you still like me?" Of course I do, if I didn't I would have been the one to break up with her, but I can't let her know that.

"No, I don't." Hopefully that would be enough to convince her.

"No, its okay Toby." Nope, I guess it wasn't.

"I don't like you!" Maybe that would be enough to get her of my back.

"Toby..."

"I... could even prove it." What was I saying, how in the world was able to do that.

"You don't need to prove anything to me."

This was getting to me, I just needed to show Kendra up for once. Then, coming down the hall was the exact person who would make that possible, Liberty Van Zant. Just as she was about to walk down pat me I took her hand pulling her close letting her lips crash into mine. I saw Kendra out of the corner of my eye with a somewhat shocked look, I guess she never would have thought I would actually do something like that. After a few seconds I pull back giving Kendra a large smirk. She sighs walking away from me and Liberty. That's right, I had put Liberty right in the of the situation. I slowly look back over to a very surprised looking Liberty.

"Um... Toby?"

"Oh that, yeah it was just um Kendra and uh..." Well, how do I explain my reasoning for that.

"I get it, no big deal." She looked down at her shoes, then started to nervously play with her hair.

"But, thanks for helping me."

"Well I wasn't really asked."

"Yeah, sorry it won' happen again." She had been right I mean to her that was pretty random and weird of me to do.

"No... its okay." She smiled sweetly towards me. Was she seriously throwing flirtatious moves my way. I would have never thought of her in that sense, but now that Kendra is out of the picture who knows. I mean she has known me for so long and she has gotten cuter this year I guess...

"Well then... um would you like to go sometime, with me?" I knew it could be a long shot, but hey what's life worth living without taking chances... wait am I really saying this?

She looked a bit taken back, but managed to let a few words slip from her mouth. "I would like that."

"Really?" I knew she meant it, but I had almost convinced myself I wouldn't be able to get another girl to like me enough to go out with me. "Yes." Her eyes twinkled with a bit of happiness, probably on account to lack of dating requests. "Why though?"

"Your really nice, smart, fun to be around, and I know that you are such a great person." I had told her the truth, that was how I felt about her.

She seemed to bluish a little. "Thanks..."

"Meet me at the Dot after school... okay?"

"Okay," She smiles, making eye contact. "Bye Toby." She then walks off to her original destination before I had pulled her over.

"yeah, bye Liberty." I smiled to myself. After everything with Kendra I seemed to have gotten a bit of a boost in confidence. I knew weeks ago asking a girl out wouldn't be something I could think I could do. Liberty was different though, she was good for me I just knew it. I then walked into my next class, smirking to myself once again.
