Chapter 3
Riker POV
Kat immediately pulled away.
"I don't know why I did that!" Kat shouted.
"It's ok! Calm down!"
"I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking!"
"Kat, it's ok. You're very confused right now with your parents and everything, I know."
"Please just drive me back."
"Ok."
I drove all the way home in complete silence. Kat did nothing but sit completely still, and stare straight ahead at the road.
"Kat?" I asked, shutting the car off.
"Please don't talk to me."
"They're not home yet."
"They're not!?"
"No. Rocky's car isn't here."
Kat sighed. I unlocked the front door, and we went inside. Kat flopped on the couch, and I sat next to her.
"Can we talk about what just happened?" I asked.
"Why?" Said Kat, angrily.
"Because I just want to know why you kissed me."
"Hey, you kissed me back!"
"I know. I just want to know why you kissed me first."
"I don't know! I don't want to talk about this!"
"Do you like me?"
"Yes!"
Kat looked horrified, got up, and ran out the front door, crying.
"Kat, wait!" I called, running after her.
It was really dark on our street. I could barely see Kat running 30 feet ahead of me. She ran all the way to her house, when I finally caught up to her and grabbed her hand, causing her to fall.
"AHH!"
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!"
I knelt on the ground beside her.
"Ugh! My knee's bleeding!"
"Come on, let's go back to my house," I said.
"Riker, I'm not going anywhere with you!"
"Kat, I'm sorry! Please! Come on," I pleaded, pulling her into a standing position.
"Ugh! There is no way I'm walking all the way to your house. My knee is killing me!"
"You're not staying here!"
"I'm going to my house."
"It's locked! Your parents aren't even home!"
"I have a key, stupid!"
Old, mean, unemotional Kat was back.

Riker POV
"How does it feel now?" I asked.
"Bad," said Kat, angrily.
"Still?"
"Well if you hadn't tripped me, I'd be fine!
Kat and I were sitting in her bedroom. She was holding ice to her knee.
"Kat?"
"What?"
"Do you really have feelings for me?"
Kat just stared at her knee.
"Please answer me!"
"Yes, I do. Happy? I said it. After my mom gets back, you won't ever have to see me again, and you can just forget all about me!"
"Kat-"
"I know! You think I'm pathetic!
"Kat-"
"And I was mean to you, I know, I know!
"Kat-"
"Please just stop and go home! I just-"
"KAT I HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU TOO!"
