Is This Love?

Chapter 12- Caught

Pete's POV

"Who are you?" I asked the mysterious boy. He was wearing a black overlarge sweater with a hood, so his face was covered. He was scrawny, very thin, and very small. He looked so feeble that it was like he'd faint any second. He looks way younger than me. He's maybe 10 or 11 years old.

He took out a CD from his large sweater pocket.

"Watch it," He grunted.

His voice was not familiar. I don't think he's even FROM this school. Who IS he?

"What? Why? Who are you?" I said in a hushed voice.

He didn't reply, but started walking to the other way like an emo. He broke into a run, and I ran after him. For a tiny kid, he runs fast.

I saw his overlarge sweater whip past the locker room. I went inside, panting, expecting him there. But he was gone. I was alone. I stared at the CD. It was plain, but I kept it.

"Bro, have you seen me do the rebound?" Kenny asked. "I won the basketball game!"

"Yeah." My mind was still stuck with the mysterious thought of the weird kid.

"I was awesome!!"

"By the way...Someone gave this to me. Mysterious dude. Dunno the name. Didn't tell me anything except for "Watch it." Weird." I handed him the CD.

He examined it. He shrugged,"Dunno. I'm not good with these stuff. You know, CDs and electronic crap. Bores me to death. On the other hand, you're interested with electronics, yeah?"

"Yeah....Should we watch it?"

"Your choice," He said, dribbling his basketball in my room.

I stared at the CD. It seemed important.

It started playing.

It was a short video of Kriss and Charlie. I felt nervous and scared. Scared of what will happen. Kenny watched with me.

"I'll be by your side whenever you're down. Let me be your star. I'll light up your night and day when you see me."
I want to barf! Agghh so freakin cheesy!

"Thank you, Charlie. I'm happy that you're always there for me...." Kriss murmers. My heart jolts with pain. She looks up at him with a smile. I want her to smile at ME like that.

Charlie hugs her. Kriss let him embrace him, like he's PROTECTING her....My fist are clenched so hard that my fingernails dig deep into my palm.

"You're the best best friend I've ever had, Charlie. Well, Janine's also one, but you're....different. More thoughtful and caring." She smiles again. He lets go from the embrace.

Thoughtful? Caring? I don't like Charlie. I smell trouble whenever he's around.

"And you're most amazing girl I've met."

THAT STUPID GODDAMN CHARLIE!! HE'S FLIRTING WITH HER! AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW!!

The next thing he did made me wanna strangle the TV!! That little sneaky asshole!!

He leans closer to Kriss. He fu**ing kissed her! He fu**ing kissed her on the lips! He fu**ing kissed her. He fu**ing kissed her. Took me awhile to absorb the info.

Kriss didn't even pull away! She KISSED him. She kissed HIM. SHE kissed him. SHE KISSED HIM!

The video ended. I took the CD out and broke it in half. Stomped on it. Threw it across the room. I cursed for 5 minutes. Almost lost my sanity. Kenny watched me, his eyes twitching slightly. Must be trying to recover from shock. I'm trying to recover from pain. Anger. Shock.
