'Oh I know you probably don't want me to ask this, but is he still trying to make any small advances on you?' DeVante randomly asked as we got out the his car

I knew who he was definitely referring to and honestly that was the last question on Earth that I wanted to hear.

'Uhhhh no- not really' I wriggled my eyebrows walking behind him 'he does occasionally look at me weirdly but I'm unphased about it now, like it doesn't bother me'

'You should've changed history classes' DeVante muttered under his breath, looking for his house keys

I should've.......

'Yo imma see if my mom home first.......wait a little.....' he said to me before he opened the door

I don't know why I agreed to coming to his house to study for our play, I know his moms don't like me........I should've stayed my ass home and said no, but because I'm whipped- yes I'm whipped and I'm not ashamed to say it, I agree to his suggestion.

'YO MOM YOU HOME!' DeVante shouted loudly waiting for a response

He didn't hear anything.......

'Looks like another late shift then.....' DeVante said to himself, before I proceeded to follow behind him into the house

'I don't really understand why your mom doesn't like me......like I'm not ghetto, I wouldn't think that I'm an embarrass-'

'She'll lighten up to you in due time'

'DeVante she's known me for a long time now and you know it, she hasn't said anything nice about me for all those long years' I said

'Well she dislikes Ashley a lot more than you' DeVante told me

'Wow, that's really supposed to make me feel better' I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes, pushing past him as I walked into his living room

'Well, make yourself at home then' DeVante found my reaction amusing for him 'do you want anything?'

'Yes-' I said reluctantly '- I need you to get your ass here now so we can practice your lines before your mom sees me in her house' I was panicking a little

'Chill Kelly, she ain't coming til late, and even if she comes earlier, I'll tell her it's for school, plus we have evidence, she'll probably side eye you and scoff to herself, that's all' he walked over to the sofa sitting comfortably beside me

'Ohh, don't I feel welcome' I raised my eyes and spoke sarcastically 'Look we should be able to read these lines now of by heart, the play is next month, we don't have no time to waste'

'Right right-' DeVante nodded his head 'what scene you wanna act out?'

'I dunno.......Act one scene five I guess......' I suggested

'Okay then......' he said as we got our books out to see where we would start

'Can we stand up for this, I feel weird sitting down' I awkwardly said as he stood up with me

'I need your hand' DeVante said as I took my hand out for him to hold 'your hand is like a holy place that my hand is unworthy to visit........'

'Good Pilgrim, you don't give your hand enough credit......' I spoke

'Don't saints and pilgrims have lips too?'

'Yes, pilgrim- they have lips that they're supposed to pray with'

'Well then, saint, let lips do what hands do......' he said as I remembered he's going to kiss me in this scene

Shit!

'Saints don't move, even when they grant prayers.'

'Then don't move while I act out my prayer' I was getting ready before he could grip my face to kiss me but-

'Oh we can skip this part until the real thing' he said as I felt lowkey embarrassed thinking he was going to kiss me

'Yeah yeah......' I nodded, feeling crushed

'Now my sin has been taken from my lips by yours' DeVante continued

'Then do my lips now have the sin they took from yours?' I felt less into the lines I was reading from memory

'Sin from my lips? You encourage crime with your sweetness. Give my sin back'

Again it required a kiss and he's going to skip that part too.........

I know that coming to his house is not the chance for me to take advantage of him since he found out what Ashley did behind his back and that I'm trying to work things out with Nick, but it hurts me to find out that he actually doesn't have feelings for me no more and I feel even stupid for letting him know that I like him again.

'Well we could practice another-'

'Um no, I think it's time for me to go home, you know I've got an appointment.......' I made up just so I could hide my embarrassment

'You never-'

'Oh well I forgot' I rushed to my rucksack to pack up anything that I took out of it

'Don't lie to me Kelly' DeVante said

'Oh DeVante leave me alone about Don't lie to me-' I lashed out unexpectedly 'I just need to go, alright'

'You need anyone to drop you home?' He asked calmly

I swear he would be lashing out at me, or something, why is he still nice to me?

'No, I'll walk'

'You can't walk all the way from here to your place' he laughed to himself as I mean mugged him

'Well I am' I felt my voice crack

'No you're not, I'll drop you-' he started getting his car keys

'NO! Leave me the fuck alone!' I yelled, watching his reaction as he seemed confused 'Look, I just need to be alone, alright' I sighed

'Alright.....' he responded back

..........

The amount of chapters DeVante and Kelly was supposed to get their kiss on.....I always keep on writing the scene out.

This chapter particularly, they were supposed to kiss but I needed the chapter to flow so I left it out.
