A new day, a new me part 9

I’d like to thank my critics, both good and bad, for their words, it’s not that you don’t like the story it’s that I needed to get back on the rails with the story. You helped me define which path to take so with real honesty, thank you. Also I missed a few lines from the rough draft to the typed which made it confusing, I apologize for that. Now for part 9.

I’m walking through the school grounds in complete confusion, Kori and her mom are now involved in the situation that I started for Katy and I’m not allowed there. I shoot Kori a text telling her I’m at school and really want to see her. It takes a minute but I get a reply of she’s on her way so I sit and wait at the front of the school, it takes about twenty minutes for her to pull up in her Mom’s van. I watch her get out, Korinna’s got on a purple v-neck sweater and some hip hugging jeans, and she heads over to me and sits down next to me at the front of the school.

“You got your hood up again and that look on your face. You wanna talk to me about it or are we brooding,” Korinna asks me after a minute of silence.

“I’m pretty sure you and I are in trouble if I don’t talk to you about it,” I reply sullenly from my hood.

“Okay so just run me through it because I spoke with your mom and she’s really confused by what happened and you came off like an asshole, but more so a real one and not the cute kind,” Kori tells me smirking that cute little smirk she had in Tracy’s car the first time.

“Well you’ve met Katy, her life was shit. No bullshit I mean real shit, I just couldn’t leave her alone to that so I just tell her to pack her shit and we leave. Fast forward with my convincing my Dad that I’m trying to help someone and to this morning now the whole thing that I got started and I’m kicked out. It’s like my word on the whole plan doesn’t matter now,” I just vent out to Kori.

We sit in silence for a minute and Kori finally starts laughing a little. I’m really confused and now my sympathetic ear is laughing.

“Wow, you’re really not looking at anything are you,” Kori starts still chuckling,” You are too close to what is happening. You’re Mom had you leave so she and Kori could come to a decision without you influencing her. You really didn’t think that she needed to make the decision by herself without you?”

I’m officially wearing the asshole sign and feel about the size of a grasshopper with my girlfriend schooling me on the situation. I stand up and pull my hood back and just soak in my stupid for a few minutes. Kori gets in front of me and slides inside my coat wrapping her arms around me; I put my arms around her and just hold her for a few minutes.

“Alright butthead, let’s get you home so you can apologize to your Mom and see what the hell they decided to do,” Korinna tells me unwrapping herself from my coat and arms.

We get in her Mom’s van and start the drive back, I find out that her Mom is legal counsel and my Mom wanted her there for advice on the paper work. And apparently Kori and Katy have been swapping stories about me in Liz’s room while the Mom’s work it out. Still wearing my ‘I done fucked up’ look we arrive at home and I head into the house.

I’m greeted by Kori’s Mom and my Mom sitting at the dining room table working. I finally see Kori’s mom for the first time, longer hair but same deep brunette and a fuller figure with glasses. Honestly not bad looking for a woman with a daughter who is her but twentyish years younger. I drop my coat on the couch and beeline it up to my mom’s chair, pull it out with her in it and drop down on my knees in front of my Mom.

“Mom, I’m a dumbass. I’m sorry but I’m a real stupid person sometimes,” I apologize with a big mouthful of humble pie.

“Guy, I forgive you. You’re my son and it’ll be fine. Besides at least you were smart enough not to fight with me about it,” Mom jokes at the end of her accepting my apology.

Mom pats my shaved head and waves me off. I make eye contact with Kori’s mom for a second, I think its approval but I’ve met her just now so I don’t push as I go grab my coat and head to my bedroom.

I walk in the door and am greeted by all three girls sitting in my room talking and going through my clothes and personal belongings.

“Okay, what the hell are you three up to,” I ask hanging my coat on the chair.

All three of them stop and get a ‘cat caught in the fish tank’ look.
