Boarding Schools, Secrets, and Jerks

Deja Vu

My alarm went off and I groaned, slamming my hand on the off button. Sitting up, I slid off the bed and began crawling towards my door. I pulled the door open and looked both ways before crossing over to the bathroom. Standing up, I turned the water on slightly hotter than warm and began stripping. Stepping into the water, I sighed, rolling my shoulders. 

Washing up quickly, I rinsed off and stepped out. Looking at the counter, I saw a fluffy white towel on it and grinned, wrapping it around myself. I put my clothes in the hamper and opened the bathroom door, walking out. Ambling into my room, I pulled out a pair of grey sweatpants and a loose fitting shirt, I dried off and slipped on my undergarments. I got dressed and brushed my hair before walking out of the room. 

Skipping into the kitchen, I smiled at everyone. Talon grinned from the stove as he flipped a pancake. Easton nodded, his mood not any better from last night. Caroline and Talia stared at the table, avoiding my eyes. Sitting beside Talia, I watched as she scooted from me.

 "Okay, what's wrong with you two?" I asked, raising my brows as I pursed my lips 

They both shrugged and I rolled my eyes. 

"Both of you need to get over it. You guys got drunk and I got mad. It's over and done with. So stop dwelling on it." I said, looking between the two 

Talia looked up first, tears shining in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Kelsey."

 "It's fine." I laughed, pulling her into a light hug 

She chocked on a sob, laughing with me. Caroline came up and hugged me as I pulled back away from Talia. I hugged her back as she burried her head in my neck. We both pulled back and Talon set a plate in front of me. 

"Thanks." I smiled, picking up a piece of bacon and taking a bite

 After he made us all plates, he sat down and began eating with us. Talia and Caroline chatted with Easton about his date tonight, saying that they were going to choose his outfit. Talon was just eating quietly, texting on his phone.

 "Where's Jimmy?" I asked, looking around the table 

"Next door. He didn't want to wake you up." Talia said, picking up my empty plate and hers as she walked over to the sink 

"I'm going to a friends house in a bit." Talon said, putting his plate in the sink 

Nodding, I took a sip of water and stood up, "I'm going nowhere today." 

Everyone but Easton laughed and I walked out, running a hand through my hair. Sitting on the couch, I turned the TV on and looked for a show to watch. Easton came in, holding his phone.

 "Why don't you want me to meet her?" I asked, making him jump as he lifted his head to look at me 

"You'll scare her away. I haven't had dated anyone since I found out about the cancer and now that I'm better, I'm going to live my life. I'm going to go out on dates like teenage boys should. You could ruin that for me." He whispered, sitting down on the couch beside me

 "You really think that? That I would ruin your chances with someone?" I asked, feeling hurt 

Easton stayed silent, staring down at his lap. 

"Whatever, Easton. Name one time when I have ever pushed a girl you liked away." I snapped, turning my body fully to his 

He remained quiet and I scoffed, "Exactly. I've supported every date you have ever been on. And you act as though by my wanting to meet this girl is going to ruin your life. You know what? Have a great time on your date. Don't bring her here." I growled
