The Next Day

I’m walking out of Social Studies. Not a word has been said about Marie and Kyle, so I think I’m okay..

“Holly!” Marie called, and came running after me.

Oh lord, oh gaud. Think of something, anything, qui-

“Why did you tell Kyle I liked him?”

He didn’t.

“What??” I asked with the best fake confused look I could muster.

“Yeah, Dillan told me that Kyle told him that you said that I liked Kyle.”

This is where the hall split.

“What? Just.. talk to me later, I guess.”

”’Kay.” she said, and I wouldn’t see her again until tomorrow.

Kyle promised he wouldn’t. I thought, furious and out to get revenge.
