He's Rude!

He’s rude! He’s really really rude! I can’t believe this! I’m the one apologizing and now he’s the one talking like with authority? I don’t care if he’s the student body president! I don’t care if ever he’s the most popular guy at school! Whatever he is, he’s an asshole!

 

“I hate him! I hate him! I hate him!” I shouted during water break at soccer.

“You’re pissed or irritated? I can sense it every time you try to make a goal.” Violett said looking to our goalkeeper who was really exhausted from the practice. Violett is the same as me. She’s also a nerd and really put herself in academics, she’s a soccer player too, a midfielder like me. Out of my friends, Violett is the shy type and keeps things on her thoughts, that is, if she’s too shy to say it.

“Yeah, I’m totally, completely pissed!” I said in an annoyed voice.

“Why?”

“Because of the guy I bumped to yesterday. He’s rude!”

“Don’t be like that Kyle; I’m sure there’s an explanation.”

 

The practice ends and we went to change. We were walking across towards the school parking lot when a black convertible car almost hit in front of us. The car stop and the driver came to us. Oh great! If it isn’t the president.

“Hey! Will you watch where you’re going!?!” He shouted at us. He’s really getting into my nerves.

“YOU watch where you’re going! “You’re calling me blind, but you’re the blind one!” I shouted back at him. What was that all about? Are you trying to kill us?”

“You were blocking my way!”

“Your way? Hello? Look at this!” I said showing the wide open space. “Are we blocking your way or you’re just too lazy to look around and see that there’s a wide open space around here?” I said looking back at him.

 

Obviously, he got pissed and is already starting a fight. He might think I’m scared at him. I leaned forward to him to accept the challenge when Violett went in between us.

“Stop!” Violett exclaimed. “It’s just a misunderstanding alright?” She said looking at me and then turns to the guy. “Caleb, I’m really sorry about Kyla. This won’t happen again.”

What the? Did Violett just apologize to this jerk? This is so not going to happen!

“NO”, I shouted, contradicting what Violett just said. “NO! I am not going to apologize to that loser! It was his fault, not mine! He SHOULD apologize!”

“No way! I won’t apologize!” The guy shouts back.

“So am I!” I said. Some guys came from the car and tried pull him away. Violett grab my hand and pull me away. I was really pissed!

 

“What was that all about?” I complained to Violett as we get distance. “Why did you do that? You apologize to that loser as if it was our fault?”

I complain as we were walking far now. I can’t believe that my best friend took the blame in this whole thing. Giving credits to the one who is actually guilty. Violett didn’t say anything. As soon as we got to the parking lot, we waited for Brandon but he was still not there. Not later than 10 minutes, I receive a text message from him saying that I should go without him since he still got practice. I went inside. We first drop Violett at them and went straight home.

 

At home, I went upstairs and put my things in the bed. Matet was going up and down from the stairs until I finally settle in my room. I get my pillow, put it in my face and shout. I shout until all my anger would come out. It was so unfair! Minutes later, Butler George buzz from the kitchen, telling me to eat.

 

Days passed and I am still irritated whenever I see him. It was Friday afternoon, I was at the gazebo at home studying when Brandon came to me.

“Kyle, I want you to meet my friends from football, they’re seniors.” Brandon said as I was doing my homework.

“Uhmm. Why?” I asked, not looking at him.

“Because, you’re my sister and I’m proud of my twin.” Brandon exclaimed more like a proud parent than a brother.

Fine,” I stop what I was doing and look at him. “When?”

“Now.” He said with a grin on his face.

“Can’t, I’m busy.” I said going back to my work.

“Oh, come on! It would only take a minute.” Brandon said, take my arm and drag me inside the house. Matet followed.

 

I get my hand from Brandon and follow him. I follow him to the living room where his friends waiting. In the room I see 3 guys sitting in the couch. They were big, bulky and tall men like Brandon. I feel like I’m a dwarf now.

“Hey guys, I like you to meet my twin, Kyla. Kyle, my Friends. This is Tyler, Cole and Josh.”

“Hi Kyle! I’m Tyler!” The guy in Uniform came near us and extends his hands.

“Hi, I’m Kyla.” I said, reaching his hand and shake hands with him.

“Where’s Caleb?” Brandon asked as he look at the two sitting in the couch.

“He’ll be back. He just went back to his car.” The guy in the football jacket said who was sitting in the left end of the couch. “Hi! I’m Josh.”

So, the one beside him would be Cole then. They were all familiar to me. I don’t remember when or where did I see these three.

 

After 5 seconds, there was a guy in uniform came, black short hair. He was also tall, quite taller than Brandon. I look at him and got surprised.

“Oh, Kyle. This is Caleb Johnson.” Brandon said as we moved closer to the guy.

“YOU?!?” I exclaim as Caleb and I stare at each other.

“Is there something that I should know?” Brandon asked, confused on my reaction. “Kyle, Caleb? You two know each other?”

“Violett’s friend.” Caleb answer confidently.

“He was the jerk who almost hit us in the parking lot!” I exclaim with anger.

“WHAT?” Brandon said with surprised. “You almost get hit by a car?” Oops! Shoot! I almost forgot about that detail!

“I... I… that’s not the issue! I can’t believe you make friends with a freak!”

“And I can’t believe your sister is a total bore!”

“You did not call me that.”

“I guess I did!”

The living room was getting heat up. I so want to punch him in the face. We were close to each other, 6 inches gap between our faces.

 

“Okay... Kyle,” Josh butt in to break everything. “Brandon told us you’re fond in skateboarding. If it’s okay with you, we were wondering if you want to hang with us today.” Josh offered.

“I can’t.” I muttered.

“If this about your issue between you and Caleb…”

“It’s just Caleb’s fault. That doesn’t mean we’re involved.” Cole said, butting in Tyler’s. “So, are you in or out?”

“Are you saying she’s coming?” Caleb asked, obviously, he don’t want my presence as how I don’t want his.

“Just imagine Caleb don’t exist.” Tyler said enthusiastically and taps my back. “Did I say it right?”

“Quite. Now, Kyle?” Brandon asked me like it was the final question of some game show to have the jackpot prize. “You need fresh air than be in the house.”

“Ill just get my board.” I said not looking to any of them.

 

I get my board and helmet. Bring my sling bag with my things in it. I went down and straight outside the house.

“Where will I take a ride then?” I asked them.

“Caleb’s.” Brandon said as Caleb was waiting in the car.

“NO! She’s not riding in my car.” He defend.

“And I don’t have plans riding that car to the park with you in it!”

 

My brother and his friends gave me a hard time leaving me with no choice but to get in the car.

“Fine! I’ll get in! Everybody happy now?” This leaves me no choice then?
