*Phil's POV*
I wasn't mad at Kimi for not having the same feelings for me as I did for her, I was just mad at myself for still loving her. She was beautiful, funny, and one of my best friends. I was mad though that she would just start dating Jace after knowing how I feel for her. It wasn't that she couldn't date she could do whatever she wanted to, but just last week I told her how I felt she could have tried to be a bit more sensitive to how I would feel. I know that how I felt didn't play a big part in who she was going to date, but if the situation was reversed I would have thought about her feelings.
Jace and Kimi had been dating for five days now. He was always waiting for her when we got to school. He rode a motorcycle to school everyday, he lives with his aunt, and his favorite class is English. He talks a lot at lunch everyone finds him fascinating, I think he is phony and slightly full of himself. At lunch I sat with my music playing in my ears, it was punk metal for the time being. That is how I felt. Susie and Harold talked to each other, Chuckie ate and would say a few things, Tommy and Lil were both texting. I know I said I didn't care what they did I just didn't want to know anything. I was kind of hoping they weren't texting each other though.
Kimi and Jace were sitting at the end of the table, holding hands. He was helping her with a math problem both of them were absolutely oblivious to what was happening at the table. I couldn't keep my music in forever, and I couldn't keep showing Kimi how much she had hurt me. I took my ear buds out. It wasn't a big gesture, but it was one. When I did it Kimi looked at me, she knew what it meant and she smiled.
It was friday, and this week right after school I had work. I got home around five thirty, when I walked in Lil, Kimi, Tommy, and Jace were all in the living room. They were watching something on Netflix. Was this like a couples night? "Hey, Phil" said Lil "take a seat, we were just watching Psycho you know the story. I faked a smile "no thanks, I'm just going to lay down" I had taken the ear buds out but I wasn't ready to sit on that couch where all I think of is when Kimi and I kissed with her and her new boyfriend.
When I got to my room I checked on my phone, no texts. Well that's probably because almost all of my friends were on a date. Chuckie wasn't but he has been working on his eagle scout project for the past three weekends. I looked through my contact list there had to be someone to hang out with. Lil, Tommy, and Kimi were down stairs. Susie and Harold had a date, Angelica would never let me hang out with her. The only person left in my phone to really talk to was Dill. Dill, Tommy's weird younger brother. I could always talk to him as far as I knew he had almost no friends I had never really hung out with Dill since we were young kids.
I felt so excluded though it was friday night everyone was doing something, so I should hang out with someone.
Phil: Hey, want to hang out. I'll pick you up, if you want.
I waited a few minutes when he replied with:
Dill: Sounds like fun.
I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my car keys. When I made it downstairs Tommy said "you came down to watch the movie?". "No" I replied "me and Dill were going to hang I haven't seen much of him in forever". Then I left, I know they were all probably really confused. Dill and I had never been the best of friends I dropped him on his head when he was a baby. It's kind of unforgivable when it results in a school year in the special needs program. He had never really said he hated me or anything we were just never close.
I pulled into the Pickles driveway, Dill was on the porch. He ran to the car, "Hey Phil" he said as he closed the door. He was dressed normal a blue t-shirt under a zip up black sweatshirt jeans and Jordans. He had his signature hat but there was no getting rid of that. "Hey" I said "what do you want to do?" I asked "I don't know I've never 'hung out' with anyone" He put air quotes around hung out. I laughed and pulled out of the driveway, he explained to me all about his classes the people who think he's weird everything. Dill, had whole life that was truly interesting that none of us had ever cared much about. He had stories that he seemed to being dying to tell, that no one had never really asked him about. I was there now though.
We went out for pizza, and to the arcade. Altogether it was a good night, I hope me and Dill hang out more he is a cool kid when you give him a chance. I dropped him off at home the same time Lil was dropping Tommy off. We all exchanged a few words then Lil and I headed home. Lil went the long way home and I went the short way though. As I was driving home I saw Kimi and Jace walking hand in hand on the sidewalk, laughing. Why were they walking I pulled over and put the window down. "Why are you guys walking?" I asked "I wanted to walk her home" Jace replied. "Oh" I said seeming dumb. "Well I'll see you guys later" I said as I rolled up the window and drove home. Soon I would be over Kimi just not today.
Well there was your look into Phil's mind. I hope you all enjoyed it! I'm actually really enjoying characterizing Jace, please tell me what you think of him in the comments, you know if you like him or dislike him. I'm going to try to get the next chapter up by the end of the weekend, get excited because it will be all about Tommy and Lil's well anticipated date! Please Review!
