Chapter EightDestiney“Hannah, what am I going to do?”“Oooh, you have an admirer, you need to go and find out who it is.”“WHAT!? Are you crazy, I can’t go? I can’t deal with this shit right now.”“Why not? You clearly have someone who really likes you. Why not just go and find out who it is? You don’t have to accept them, just go, see what they have to say and then decide what to do.”“Hannah, I can’t. What if they are some serial killers, stalker psychopath or something.”“Des, I think you might be over-reacting just a little bit. If your so worried about it, I’ll go with you. I’ll hang back and just observe. Just to make sure nothing happens.”“Hannah, this is crazy.”She watches me mull over all this craziness and she looks at me with pity and sympathy. What if this could all be true…Then yeah, I would love to have a love like this person is describing. But it just doesn’t happen for me. I’m not meant to have this kind of love.“Des, look, just think it over. They don’t want to
Chapter NineDestineyWith nothing else said Hannah and I got up with our trays full of food and walk to the trash cans by the door and dump what’s left and put our trays on top to be collected later. When we leave the lunchroom and make our way back towards the hall and then to my locker. We make our way to my locker and when I reach for the lock to open it, Hannah places her hand on mine and gives me a smile. I give her a nod, and she turns to open my locker for me and when she does, she takes the flowers and note out and walks to the same trashcan I threw them in earlier and drops them in for me. When she walks back over to me, she leans in and gives me the hug she knows that I need right now, and we switch out my books for the next class she closes my locker and wraps her arm with mine and we walk away towards our next class and tells me everything will be okay. We make our way to her locker, just before we head to class, hers is on the way so why not. Once we get the books she
Chapter TenKeeganToday Is going to be great, when Destiney opens her locker and sees what I left for her she is going to be so happy, she will have no other choice but to fall into my arms and beg me to take her as my girl. I had to get up earlier than I usually do in order to make it to the flower shop and the school before anyone else, and when I sweet talked Mrs. Smith in the office for the combo to Destiney’s locker, she couldn’t help but give it to me. I don’t usually do that, but I need to do this for Destiney. I need her to know someone cares for her deeply. But I don’t want her to know it’s exactly me yet. I need to take this step by step for my plan to work. I just hope it will work. I can’t let Jasmine get in the way and ruin everything. Once I have everything set up in her locker, I quickly write her a little note and slide it inside with the flowers. I hope she likes this, I’m not exactly the romantic type but for Destiney, I will learn to be. I would do anything for h
Chapter Eleven Keegan What am I going to do? How am I going to make it up to Destiney? I need to figure out how to fix the major screw I just caused. After Jasmine and I walked away from Destiney and Hannah at the lunch table we went to sit at our table with the rest of our friends. Or what everyone calls them. But I am beginning to feel like all of this is what is expected of me and what I feel like I am supposed to do, not what I want to do. What I really want is to just be myself and be with Destiney. But I know my father would never let me quit the football team and move on to something else. I don’t hate playing football, but I just wish I could do something different. One thing that nobody knows about me, not even my parents is that I love to draw, and I am pretty good at it. I could always put this talent to good use if I could just figure out a way to tell my dad and him be okay with it. But I know he would never accept it. He says there is no money in artistry no matter
Chapter Twelve Keegan After dinner I make my way back up to my room and when I plop down in my king-sized bed, for a while trying to come up with a plan, I can’t believe I was such an ass yesterday, there is no way she is going to forgive me so easily. I need to come up with something good. I start to feel myself drift off to sleep with dreams of Destiney. When I wake up the next morning I realize that today has to be a better day. I can’t let Jasmine and those ‘people’ that are my so called friends control my actions anymore. I need to make a change and I need to talk to my dad about what I really want in life. I just hope he is understanding and willing to let me make a few changes. Today is going to be a better day. I can’t let Jasmine and those ‘people’ control my actions anymore. After I dinner with my parents last night and after talking with my mom about everything going on and that she basically tells me the same thing about what my dad said. So now I just need to figure o
Chapter ThirteenDestineyThis last week has been crazy, weird and a total cluster. Jasmine won’t leave me alone, Keegan has been showing more attention to me and it’s been a bit odd to say the least, and I don’t know how to feel about it. The day after he walked away with Jasmine, he had the audacity to have more flowers sent to me. He thinks just by sending me flowers and chocolates and stuffies that it will make what he did forgivable and make everything okay. Well, he has another thing coming if he thinks I am going to make it that easy for him. Once I am at my locker Hannah comes up to me and she can tell something is bothering me and isn’t sure she wants to ask or not but knowing her she will anyway. Hannah and I have been friends since the first grade, and we both know each other so well, we are like sisters. Sometimes I wish she really was my sister. “Hey Des, what’s wrong? Did Keegan do something again today. I swear that boy will not leave you alone. It’s like he is in lov
Chapter Fourteen Destiney When he walks me to my class, I can’t help but smile at the way he kisses my cheek and tells me he will see me after class to walk me to the next one. When I walk inside the room everyone stops to stare and I can’t help but lower my eyes, quickly sit down by Hannah. She gives me this look that says she is going to have questions for me later, I know she won’t let up until I tell her what is going on. So, I just give her a nod to agree to later. When Lunch finally rolls around, and Hannah and I have talked about everything going on and she seems happy that I am going to give him a chance, but she also seems skeptical of him and how his playboy ways go. But she seems supportive of my decision and but she is my best friend so I know that she will always have my back no matter what. After Hannah and I get our lunch, we make our way to the same table we sit at every day and when it’s just the two of us for a couple minutes we are sitting here eating then sudden
Chapter Fifteen Keegan I really messed up a week ago when I made the mistake of walking away with Jasmine, I continue to beat myself up about it still, I mean how could I have been so stupid to do that. But when I realized how dumb it was, I came home and talked to my dad, and I explained everything to him, and he gave me a few ideas on how to make it up to Destiney and I have been sending her flowers and chocolates and still nothing. I’m about out of ideas and I really want her to give me a chance, maybe if I just try to talk to her and explain what I feel, maybe she will give me a chance. This morning was going to be better; I just know it; I need to find Destiney so I can talk to her. When I walk into the main building for school, I plan to make my way to my locker then to go find Destiney, but lucky for me she is by her locker already with her friend Hannah talking about something, and if my hunch is correct with the way they keep looking my way, they must be talking about me.
