Sixteen

Bully

As I walked out of the room to my next class I saw Cameron and Shawn walking together as they walked pass me.
I was hoping that Shawn would say something to me but he didn't talk to me all day after that.
Nobody would talk to me except for Lauren and Cassie.
Not even Nash would talk to me.
He didn't even look at me.
I was waiting to get the day over with so I could go home.

*skip school&bus ride*

I got home and went upstairs to my bedroom and shut my door.
More like slammed my door.
I got a text message.
Unknown: Why are you so ugly? You don't deserve to have Nash as a friend. He doesn't even like you so stop trying to be his friend.

I sat there looking at the message wondering who could have sent that message.
I just felt tears running down my face.
I cried into my pillow until I heard the doorbell ring.
I walked downstairs and opened the door slowly to find Shawn standing in front of me.

It looked like he had been crying.

"Are you okay Shawn? What happened?" I asked in curiosity.
"I'm sorry Kenzie but I can't talk to you anymore. He said so."
There he went .
Talking about this person who somewhat likes me or something.
"But Shawn..."
He began to cry even more.
"Kenzie, no! I'm sorry I-I just c-can't talk to you anymore."
He looked at the ground as if he was going to say something else but he was too scared to.
"You're-" he began but couldn't finish what he was saying.
"You're what!?" I said.
"I can't hang out with you because you're-" he began to cry even more which made me tear up a little bit.
"I'm what Shawn!" I said yelling at him. "Because you need to go kill yourself. Nobody likes you! They never have!"
I felt tears flowing down my face.
"How could you say that!?"
I said with anger.
He then worded with his mouth I'm sorry.
"Don't ever talk to me again!"
I screamed at me then slamming the door on his face.
I went upstairs and laid in my bed.
I thought about what Shawn said to me.
'because you need to go kill yourself!'
I thought about it.
Maybe it would be a better place in the world if I did kill myself.
I cried myself to sleep and woke up the next morning dreading to go to school.

*skip getting ready and ride to school*

I walked through the front doors of the school.
I didn't look at anybody.
All I did was stare at the ground.
I felt somebody come up behind me and hug me.
"Good morning!" It was Nash.
I didn't say anything to him.
"What's wrong Kenzie?"
"Nothing." I said without looking into his eyes.
He stepped in front of me so I would stop walking.
"Something's wrong. I know there is. You can't hide anything from me. I know you. And something's bothering you." He told me.
He knew me best.
That's what I liked about him.
He knew everything about me except the fact that I like him.
I got a text.

Unknown: You're worthless! Just go kill yourself. It would bring everybody pleasure.
I began to shred a year.
Nash grabbed my phone away from me. He looked at it and looked back at me. "Whoever this is obviously doesn't know how much I care about you."
He grabbed my hand.
"You are worth my time and you don't need to kill yourself. I would kill myself if you did. I wouldn't be able to live."
It made me smile when he said that.
I guess when I smiled it made him smile.
He was still holding my hand.
I looked down at our hands and as soon as I did he let go.
"Oh, sorry."
"It's fine. Holding your hand made me feel better." I said.
And when I did I regretted it as soon as I said it.
He smiled.
That's until Haley walked up to is.
"Ew Mckenzie! I thought I told you to go kill yourself! I guess you didn't get the memo." Haley said.
"Why would you do that. She's amazing and if you don't like her then don't look at her and don't talk to her. It would make me and Kenzie more happy if you would just leave." Nash said.
I was shocked and so was Haley.
It made her mad because she just flipped her hair and walked away. "Thanks Nash." I said.
"She has no right to tell you that. Nobody does."
That reminded me that Shawn said the same thing.
Should I tell Nash?
I started tearing up just thinking about it.
"What's wrong?" Nash asked.
I don't know if I should tell him. "Shawn said the same thing to me last night." I blurted out.
Regretting every second of it.
"Said what?"
"That I should just go kill myself." I replied.
Nash looked furious.
He grabbed my arm and started walking around the school to find Shawn.
We found him.
"Hey Shawn!" Nash yelled.
Shawn looked over and saw me.
"I heard what you told Kenzie!"
Nash walked over to him and punched him in his jaw.
I didn't know what to do.
I was in so much shock.
Nash had Shawn on the ground punching him over and over again. Shawn eventually grabbed Nash and started punching him.
"STOP!" I yelled.
I ran over to them and tried to break them apart but Shawn accidentally slapped me as he was pushing me off of him.
I fell on the floor and he stopped punching Nash and looked at me.
He got off of Nash and came over to me.
"Are you okay Kenzie? I didn't mean to slap you."
"Please don't touch me!" I yelled at Shawn.
I looked over at Nash and saw that he was all bloody.
I immediately got up and ran over to him.
I shook him and said,"Nash!? Are you okay?" He got on his feet.
"Yeah I'm fine."
He walked over to Shawn.
"Don't you ever tell Kenzie to go kill herself! I'll just have to snap your leg!" Nash told him as he grabbed my hand and walked away.
He let go of my hand and asked for me to look at him to see if he had left a bruise.
There was a little bruise but it didn't hurt.
"Are you okay?" Nash asked me. "That's not important. Are you ok?" I said.
"It is important. I don't want you getting hurt." Nash said.
I smiled and the 5 minute bell rang.
I went to class.
My first class.
With Shawn.
I wasn't looking forward to seeing him. I walked in gym and sat on the bleachers.
I got out my earbuds and started playing my music.
Shawn eventually walked in the gym and sat 3 feet away from me.
I was just on Facebook.
Not caring about what anything was happening.
I was dreading about going to my next class with Cameron and Shawn.
They are both being jerks right now. Gym was eventually over and I walked to my next class.
As I walked in my class I immediately sat down.
Somebody sat behind me.
But I didn't care too much to turn around to see who it was.
Somebody tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around to see cameron smiling at me.
"Hey." He said.
"What do you want."
"I want to be your friend." He said. "You didn't even want me sitting by you yesterday. Why would you want to be my friend?"
"I didn't say I didn't want you to sit by me." "Yes you did."
"Even if I did I wouldn't know why I would say that to a pretty girl."
I blushed.
I don't know why I blushed.
I don't even like Cameron.
Maybe I do?
No I don't Mckenzie!
Get your act together!
"So will you be my friend?" He asked. "I guess." I replied back.
"Great!" He smiled.

*End of school*

Now it's the weekend and I have nothing to do.
Maybe I should text Nash and see what he's doing?
I texted Nash.

To Nash😘: Do you want to hang out today?

From Nash😘:Sure! Come to my house now.

To Nash😘: K.

I took a shower and put a long sleeves infinity shirt on with some daisy dukes shorts.
I put some sunglasses on, dried, and straightened my hair.
Input my baby pink vans on and started riding my skateboard to Nash's house just down the road.
Like five houses down.
I reaches Nash's house and opened the door.
I never knock.
It's like my second home.
I take my shoes off at the door and lean my skateboard against the wall.
I went to the basement to see if Nash was in his "man cave" playing video games or something.
He was there.
I know him too well.
"Hey!" I said.
"Hey loser!" He said.
Him and his friend were on the couch playing call of duty.
I didn't know who it was.
I walked to the couch to see if I could get a better look at him.
It was cameron!
Out of all people it just had to be cameron.
I sat in the middle of then and grabbed a controller and started playing with them.
We eventually stopped playing.
"Hey do you want to invite some more people over?" Nash asked us.
"Sure." Both me and Cameron said at the same time.
He told me to invite some people.
So I invited Lauren, Cassi, jack g, jack j, and just told Hayes to come downstairs.
Everybody eventually showed up.
We decided to play truth or dare.
We got in a circle and Nash started first.
"Cameron... Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl here."
He looked at Lauren then cassi and then me.
He leaned over and kissed me.
Nash gave Cameron an evil look.
It was Cameron's turn.
"Kenzie... Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to tell us who you like."
I looked at Nash and then looked at the ground.
"I uh... No"
"why?"
"You can tell me Kenzie." Nash said.
I definitely couldn't tell him.
"Tell me!" Hayes said.
Maybe I could tell him.
He wouldn't tell Nash would he?
I went over to Hayes and whispered it in his ear.
"Oooooooohh!" He yelled.
"What who is it?" Cameron yelled. "Nobody!" I then asked Cameron truth or dare.
"Dare! Cause imma rebel!" He said. "Go 7 minutes in heaven with the prettiest girl in here." He turned red. He stood up and looked at all three of the girls.
Me, cassi, and luaren.
He grabbed my hand and walked me to the closet.
I wasn't expecting him to do that.
All of the guys started yelling and whooping.
Nash didn't seen very happy when he saw me blush.
We got in the closet.
"You don't have to if you don't want to. I just really like you. We can just say that we-"
next thing I knew I jumped on his waist, wrapping my legs around his back, kissing him.
He then put me up against the wall.
We didn't know what we were doing so we began to take our shorts off.
Five minutes had already past.
"Wait. I can't do this." I said.
I put my shirt back on.
"Do what?"
"We're taking our shirts off. I'm not ready for that and plus we only have two minutes left. They might walk in on us." I said.
"Oh. Yeah. Well we can just take it slow if you want?" He asked.
"Yeah I'd like that."
He put his shirt back on and started kissing me again.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my waist.
Our time was up and the door opened but we didn't stop kissing.
"Ok times up!" Hayes said as he opened the door.
We stopped kissing and looked at Hayes.
We walked out of the closer and me and Hayes were walking hand in hand not even realizing it.
We let go of each other's hands and sat down in our spots.
"So how was it?" Lauren asked.
"It was amazing!" Cameron said.
"The best!" I added.
Nash glared at Cameron.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to ask you something." Cameron said to me. "Yeah?" I replied.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. "Definitely!"
Everybody smiled except for Nash.
I wonder why.
Never mind that.
Cameron's my boyfriend!!!
