Chapter 15

DANIEL

I didn't think Kari would say yes to him, in fact I kind of hoped she would say no. I saw the way she looked at me after the party, that hopeful-please-save-me-kind of look. The worst part was that Fiza clung to me like a second skin the whole disastrous night. I didn't even want to stay after I saw that josh kids face beaming like a ray of sunshine or some crap like that. I had this urge to punch him and then steal away Kari for the rest of the night but I knew she'd never allow it. Instead she stood by his side, while Avery -that traitor -gushed to everybody about how Kari Valensha was not single anymore.

Kill me now... I couldn't help but keep thinking. I was embarrassed for the kiss we shared that night, I thought maybe she would finally admit those feelings I knew she had for me.

Guess I was wrong.

Slamming my locker door shut, I put my small camera inside my pocket and made my way towards the regular closet room. Once I entered I put the camera behind a box that I knew would capture everything but would hide the camera. Seconds later there was a small knock and I opened it to reveal, Cassie. She was the type of girl that you would call lovely, with a petite figure, pixie like face, her hair pulled back in an elegant bun. She reminded me of a fairy. I grinned and she smiled back shyly, soon we were tangled up in each other, me groping her in places and her roaming her hands everywhere. She gasped five minutes later and pulled back. Shock crossed her delicate features and I gave her a look of confusion.

"Oh My Gosh! I forgot you were with Fiza! She's going to ruin my life if she finds out!" she turned around to open the door but I took hold of her wrist and pulled her back.

"Don't worry about Fiza, I promise she won't find out!" I reassured her, she looked skeptical for a moment but then dismissed whatever she was thinking because her lips crashed back onto mine. To tell you the truth I never really felt anything while I kissed her. Not one spark or tingle, just numbness that vibrated through me from head to toe. After a while of pointless making out, I ushered her out and turned off the camera. I peeked my head out and noticed that the hallways were almost empty. Good, I've been avoiding Kari since that night at my house. I wasn't ready to face her yet. I needed time to get use to the fact, that for once there was a girl who didn't want me. I started walking the hallways with my head down and headed into the girls locker room. There I found Cammie leaning against the doors and changing into her cheerleading uniform. A grin broke out and she flashed her winning smile at me, and again I felt absolutely nothing.

I just hope I don't get mono from this...

"Hey I'll be with you in a moment just let me brush my hair back." She said and then walked away. I took the opportunity to hide the camera behind a glass wall; you couldn't really see the camera unless you were looking for it. Not even five minutes later did Cammie appear in front of me with her hair held up. Cammie wasn't a slut, but I knew she had a crush on me since the fifth grade, so I decided to take advantage of it and get some points for it. Smiling widely I took her in my arms and started kissing down her neck and murmuring her name.

"Daniel..." she whispered raggedly.

"Yeah?" I said back but at the same time nibbling on her earlobe.

"What about Fiza?"

I decided to kiss her to shut her up. What was it with girls asking me about Fiza? The kissing worked for about five seconds before she pulled away and took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry Daniel, but I can't do this to Fiza, are you still with her?" she asked quietly, looking at the ground and moving her leg up and down. I sighed and ran a hand down my face in frustration. Who knew fake dating Fiza would cause me so much problems. I guess I didn't even have to fake being with her anymore since Kari already agreed to going out with that one boy.

"You know what? I'm going to go break up with her now." I said and watched as Cammie's faced brightened.

"You can go ahead; I just need to figure what I'm going to say." She nodded her head and I took the camera quickly. After I left, I texted Fiza who said she was in the library. I had a sinking feeling that Fiza wasn't going to be too understanding about the fake break up although I wasn't sure why.

I did find Fiza in the library. Although not reading a book but a fashion magazine and sipping coffee. The librarians never really cared if anyone was here; they didn't even bother checking for passes most of the time.

"Hey shouldn't you be in class?" I said grinning. Fiza looked up with a smirk.

"Shouldn't you?" she retorted.

"Touché." I sat down next to her and stared at her until she looked at me. She put down the magazine and glared my way.

"Okay so what did you want to talk to me about?" she said irritated.

"I think we should fake break up, if that makes sense?" I said furrowing my eyebrows.

"What? No we don't! Daniel, you can't show Kari that her going out with someone affects you." I opened my mouth to contradict her but she only gave me a look that said I better shut it.

"Look, I get you were crushed about her saying yes, but I think if we stay together she will realize how much she likes you sooner. Plus now we both don't have to worry about prom dates." I whipped my head up to look at her.

"Prom? Who said anything about prom?" I said bewildered.

"Well we are fake dating, so it's only right that as a couple we should go together. And there is no possible way I'm missing prom" She said.

"Not if we fake break up, and I'm pretty sure a lot of guys will ask you"

"Well either way, wouldn't you rather go to prom with someone your familiar with, rather than some girl you know you'll only be ignoring? Also I hate half the guys here. I'd rather go with my best guy friend."

"I'd rather go with Kari..." I muttered.

"Huh?" she said.

"Nothing, but fine we'll go to prom but no slow dancing!" I exclaimed. Fiza brightened and threw her arms around me.

"Yay! Thanks Dan you're the best."

"Whatever." And with that I walked away.

I hope this isn't a mistake.

But as I took out the camera and checked out the footage, I couldn't help but feel guilty. These girls didn't know I was only using them. At that moment Karma chose to get back at me by making me crash into Kari, that one person I didn't want to see. Bad thing was my camera flew out of my hands and landed right at Kari's feet.

"What is this?" she said as she picked it up. I tried to snatch it out of her hands, but it was too late. She was already seeing the video where I was kissing Cassie. Kari's hands shook as she dropped it to the ground. Then she gave me the most pained look I've ever seen.

"You promised." She whispered brokenly. I opened my mouth but Kari was already running away.

How did I mess this up so badly...?
