Semua Bab CRUSH: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Still Thursday evening, Vanessa lay on her bed, thinking about what has happened all through the week. She has been bored during those days without Zoe. She had other friends, that's true but they were not like her best friend, Zoe. She and Zoe go way back from junior high school. So, that Thursday afternoon, Vanessa finally let down all her pride and she apologized to Zoe for shouting at her and asking her to mind her business. Zoe forgave her and they hugged. Zoe went further to tell her about everything she had missed and other kinds of stuff like that. Vanessa sighed at the thought of it. Their talk was great Her thoughts traveled far as she still lied on her bed and she remembered Monday, the day it had all started. She wanted to see what she did wrong exactly. To her, Kavinsky was just being partial and it is all because of that Kaylee girl. Kavinsky has never acted like that towards her before. Vanessa hissed sharply at it. She thought about it all; Monday morning, Monday

"I won!", she said as she took her seat on the couch. "Wow!", she could not help but say in surprise as she stared at the television screen. "Yeah yeah. Whatever", Kavinsky muttered and rolled his eyes. Kaylee's phone started ringing and she took out of the back pocket of her pants quickly. She checked the screen and saw that it was her father. She picked it up and Kavinsky heard her say 'Okay' and turned to face her. She brought her phone down from her ears and looked at him with a serious face. All the happiness in her eyes had suddenly vanished. Weird... "Yeah?", he asked when she was not talking "I have to go home. Dad is back early today", she replied and stood up from the couch "Oh, okay", Kavinsky said as well and got up from the rug he was sitting on with Kaylee before. "I will see you out", he said with a smile. "Okay, thanks", she said and moved quickly towards the door. "Bye", he said and she waved back before walking slowly to her house. He saw her enter the

Kavinsky got up to get them more juice from the kitchen and Kaylee just glared at his departing figure. 'What is his problem?!', Kaylee screamed in her head in frustration 'But no. I am not going to lose this time around. I am ready for him, Kaylee thought and fumed in anger Kavinsky returned with the juices and handed Kaylee her own. She gulped it all down at once and Kavinsky looked at her in surprise. "Quit playing around and let's get into this game", Kaylee said sternly without sparing him a glance. Kavinsky just swallowed his drink and picked up his video player nervously. Kaylee looked scary to him right now. They played and played, the game gets tougher as seconds passed. Kaylee was trying her best during this round while Kavinsky played with a frown. The round finally ended with a winner and Kavinsky heaved a sigh of relief. That game was tough anyways. Kaylee jumped up in joy immediately and went around a couch. She came back to his side on the rug, not sitting d

The next week, Monday morning... Kavinsky and Kaylee arrived at school as usual. They were laughing at something as they walked into the school hall. Kaylee saw Vanessa walking towards them and she tried to excuse herself. Yeah, tried. She was unable to as she heard Vanessa call her. "Kaylee", that was like the first time Vanessa would call her name sweetly without glaring at her or clenching her teeth tightly together as she said Kaylee's name. Kaylee was taken aback at first but she turned back to face Vanessa anyways. Kavinsky went to stand beside Vanessa and Vanessa spoke up, in her most convincing and sweetest voice. "I am truly sorry, Kaylee. For what I have done to you so far. I have been mean to you and I know that but please, find a place in your heart to forgive me. I am very sorry. I don't know what came over me", Vanessa said with a sad face and Kaylee just stared at her in shock. 'What is happening?!', Kaylee screamed out mentally in her head. "We should probably

Kavinsky got to the kitchen and met his mother perfectly fine but her hand was on her chest as her breath came out strongly. "What happened, Mom?", Kavinsky asked "Sincerely honey, I do not know. I was talking about all the things we could do together and Kaylee smiled. I picked up the lighter and switched it on. I saw her trying to contain something but her face suddenly turned pale and she shouted out forcefully. I guess what she was trying to contain was the scream" "Was the lighter still on when she screamed?", Kavinsky asked as he looked at his mother. "Yeah, I think so", his mother replied nonchalantly. "Why did he even ask her that?', he thought and shook his head "I will be right back, Mom", he said and rushed out of the kitchen, through the front door, and did not stop until he was in front of Kaylee's house door. He rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open it. The door creaked open and Laura appeared in sight. "Where is Kaylee?", he quickly asked panting
