Unexpected

Mackenzie’s POV

We were all having dinner together and it was supposed to be typically miserable, but for Colin, it was a game of smiles. He just couldn’t stop smiling. He kept on taking his phone out, laughed or smiled, and texted to whomever he was texting to.

“Colin, stop smiling. What’s going on with you? You’re actually kind of creeping me out.” I said, smiling.

“Sorry.” He replied and put his phone down.

“No, don’t be. I was just being nosy. I’ve never seen blush as much.”

“Am I?”

“Yeah, are you okay?”

“Yeah, it’s just a girl.” He smiled.

“Oh, that’s nice.” I said, feeling rather uneasy.

I felt so wrong and bitchy even though I was happy for him. I didn’t know why, but I may have been jealous. I’ve never felt like that before and I didn’t know what jealousy felt like, so I was just honestly confused. I just felt weird.

After dinner, my phone started buzzing a lot. Turned out, Lily texted me. She told me how she and Colin have been each other’s company and that she was always smiling and jittery. She explained how funny he was and how kind he’s been to her. I smiled reading her texts. I was happy for them. After all, he’s been having this crush on her since 9th grade? I guess they deserved it, but the weird feeling came crawling back to my guts again.

Zack’s POV

I shared a room with Kenzie and while I set up the blanket, I saw her staring at the wall blankly. Something might be wrong. She did look a little different after dinner.

“Kenzie, are you okay?”

“I don’t know. I’m feeling something very weird. I’ve never really felt like this before. Is it jealousy? But I’m also happy for them. Dad, I don’t know what’s going on with me.” She stood up and rambled out of nowhere.

“Kenzie, what’s going on? I’m sorry, I just don’t really get it.”

“Okay, you remember how I got skeptical about feelings and love and all the other crap right after 8th grade?”
“Yeah, but language Kenz.”

“Sorry. Anyways, do you know what really happened to me?”

“No, you never really talked to me about that.”

“Yeah, well dad, Colin and I were really “close” in 8th grade. Nothing serious, we were just really “close”. When the year ended, I just guessed that nothing lasted. My feeling for him were buried deep inside of me and I just guessed that he never felt the same way.”

“Oh Kenz…”

“And I just found out that he’s texting the girl of his dreams and treating her the way he treated me. He’s making her fall for him and I don’t know how to feel.”

“Maybe you’re just not over him. Talk to him and tell him how you really feel.” I kissed her in the forehead and she went outside the room.
