|•more than friends•| e.d. [SLOW UPDATES]

chapter 12

*kind of a long chapter alert!*

*italics mean flashback in this chapter only (unless i say otherwise)*

second grade third person pov

"ethan! grayson!" little kennedy screamed to her new best friends on the first day of school

"hi kennedy!" little grayson yells back as he and ethan walk to her

"hi ken" ethan says

"ken?" she questions

"yeah short for kennedy. i gave you a nickname because we're best friends duh." ethan said proudly

"woah! i've never had a nickname before. hmmm i'll call you eth or E for short then" ken said with the biggest smile

and so their puppy love began

*at lunch*

"hey eth! hey grayson look! my mom packed me ice cream for lunch today!!"

ken takes her ice cream over to the trash to throw the wrapper away. as she walks back she starts to eat it not being able to wait until she got back to the table. ken looks down at her sweet treat when she gets pushed to the floor. she looks up to see what kind of monster pushed her and caused an innocent ice cream cone to be harmed. emily. standing there smiling.

"oh shoot i'm sorry didn't see you there" emily laughs

"yes you did" ken says angrily

"why'd you push me emily?" Kennedy screams grabbing multiple people's attention. including ethan and grayson.

"it was an accident, chill ken"

"don't call me that" Kennedy growls

"woah what's going on here?"

"nothing gray bae kennedy is just overreacting" emily beamed an unconvincingly fake smile. nothing else was said before Kennedy stormed out of the cafeteria

"ken?!" ethan repeatedly yells

"what" ken finally responds as her voice starts to falter, desperately trying not to let her tears fall

"oh ken. c'mere" ethan said with open arms hugging her

the moment her head hit his chest she couldn't hold it anymore. she sobbed into his chest for the rest of lunch while he stroked her hair.

*3rd grade*

"hey cam!" ken said cheerfully to her new found crush, about to confess her feelings at this very moment

"hey kennedy what's up!"

"i just wanted to say that i-" she is quickly cut off

"she wanted to say that she stills sucks her thumb!!" emily yells loudly

"NO I DON'T!!" ken protests but fails

she runs away crying again. and just like all the other times ethan was there with hugs and jokes to make her feel better

*4th grade ken's pov*

"okay class please give your undivided attention to emily as she has something to tell us" mrs. burke explains

me and ethan just roll our eyes but pay attention anyway

"okay so as you know, mrs. burke has been teaching us that 'honesty is the best policy' and well i think that someone in this class hasn't been very truthful."

i start to zone out until she says my name. oh no what now?

"so as you know my good friend kennedy has a secret" emily starts but is cut off

"emily it is not your place to tell others secrets" mrs. burke tries to interject

"oh no don't worry it's not bad. kennedy is it true that your dad was just diagnosed with stage 2 cancer?" she plasters her stupid smirk on her face and mrs. burke speaks up again.

"now emily that's enough! go sit down"

i can hear everyone's whispers and i can feel everyone's stares.

i look down at my lap trying not to cry. i feel ethan wrap his arms around me as a way of hiding me from the world which i appreciate greatly. how did know that? i didn't tell anyone yet. i only found out yesterday. is this some kind of sick joke?

mrs. burke just sits in the corner of the room lecturing emily about how bad this was but i can tell she isn't listening and is just smiling with pride in her head at the situation.

*9th grade*

it was lunch time and i'd just gone out side after eating

"hey kennedy fancy seeing you here"

"it's school, i'm here everyday. what do you want this time emily?" i just roll my eyes and try to zone her out but then everyone starts crowding us making it difficult with all the noise

"oh nothing really but hey how's that bladder infection going?" she chuckles

'ew'

'gross'

'wtf why is she at school?!'

"first of all emily i don't have a bladder infection, never have. and second we all know you have genital herpes so if i was you i would stop pestering me and go home to learn what soap is" i snap back

after that i just walked away not bothering to hear what she had to say

*10th grade*

i don't want to go into too much detail but in this year i caught her hooking up with my boyfriend now ex boyfriend, at his house

now that you're all caught up let's fast forward to now 11th grade...
