If it can go wrong, it will go wrong. That would be the best description how things had been for Kai. Since he had first come to Cerulean high, it seemed that no matter what plans he had, something always happened in ways he hadn’t accounted for. For two weeks, Jessica was gone, and in that time he was trying to put out a lot of fires that had come into the picture, including with his family, with a girl he knew, and his own plans of how he intended things to go until graduation. One by one, he was able to sort things out, keeping the issues with his family from snowballing, and with her everything sorted itself out. By the time Jess returned, Kai felt as though he had everything back on track. They hung out together, and the more he got to know her, the more she intrigued him. She peaked his curiosity, and one thing is for sure, she certainly wasn’t quite like anyone else he knew, and he could only seem to conclude that it was in a good way. Though, once again something went wrong. At that moment, all he wanted was to do everything more than just make out with her there on his bed. He couldn’t think of anything he would have rather done, but there was something Kai realized at the last second before he wouldn’t have been able to force himself away from her. There was that part of him that didn’t want to care, and just go through with it anyway, but another part knew there was something he needed to deal with first and reluctantly he left her, apologizing and saying that he couldn’t. It wasn’t any kind of an excuse, that he knew, but he couldn’t say anything more. Since then, she had been avoiding him. The first time he had pushed her away when she wanted to sleep with him, he had an excuse. She was distraught, and if he would have done anything with her, he just would have been taking advantage of her and the situation, but this second time was different. He couldn’t exactly explain why he pushed her away, but with what he had realized at that moment, he couldn’t go through with it, as much as he wanted to. When there for the fashion show, Jess came up to him, with the clear intent of trying to break up with him, something he didn’t intend to let happen. “I’m sorry about the other night. Something came up, and I that’s no excuse for what I did. We’re good if you go out with me after we leave here. Show me those food trucks you wanted me to try, and even ice cream.”
