The Tangent Lines

Chapter 6 - You have a cute laugh, Chelsea

Introducing new character (you'll find out his name later, yep because surprise is cute) and he'll be casted by Teo Halm. Honestly I'm struggling to find the cast because I want it to be played by actors/actress with same age of the characters of the story (16-17) but it's just hard to find lol :c

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

Chapter 6 - You have a cute laugh, Chelsea

Florence's POV

The cafeteria is packed with people. I know I was just late for 5 minutes, but seriously, the cafeteria has been so full. I hope Chelsea or James has saved our seat because I really don't want to eat with standing up. Not cool, girl.

As I look at our usual seat - I immediately recognize Chelsea, who's laughing carelessly with James. They're so cute together, actually. But 1) Chelsea is just so blind when it comes to dating 2) James is our best friend 3) James has liked someone else, who appears to be the mysterious girl in Chem class.

Seriously, as his best friend, I still don't know who the hell is his crush. He just simply says she's someone who is hard to get and complicated. Whoa, yeah, thanks for such little information, man.

James is actually cute. I mean, he has the handsome kind of look on his face (Don't tell Jake I said that), he also has strange sense of humour which is not awkward actually. But lately he has become so bipolar, for a minute he looks like psychopath, then for a minute later he smiles like an angel. He's so freaking weird lately. And it must be because of the mysterious girl - whom he has crush for since the freshman year.

All these years and I haven't even known who she is. For someone who's been entitled best friend, I am pretty sure I am so pathetic.

I mean, Jamester - he hasn't even gotten her yet! He's not a playboy or manwhore or whatever it is, he's a decent guy, for God's sake. He is handsome, smart, and caring - he is a good guy. Everyone likes him, seriously. Although he's not insanely popular and wanted like Tyler or William or Kyle, but doesn't everyone like that kind of guy? Oh wait, some girls prefer the bad boys one. But seriously, he's good, and it really disturbs my peace of mind that he is struggling in love. He needs help.

I walk to the table, and smile to both of my best friends. Chelsea looks so beautiful today - her hair is curled loosely, just like a week ago on the game. I think when Layla - her mom - comes home, Layla makes Chelsea looks even more flawless - she looks like an elegant princess who sits in the middle of ordinary people. She doesn't even put make up on and she already looks beautiful. I'm so jealous sometimes.

"Heyyy, Flo-ey! Why are you late?" She asks, sipping her chocolate milkshake. Have I ever mentioned that she eats a lot? Yep, sometimes, she orders almost all of the available menu on cafeteria. Today she's ordering a slice of pizza, pudding, and a chocolate milkshake. Imagine the calories.

"Mrs. Carl made me write 2 full pages of bullshit. Duh, she's seriously so dumb! I just got late today to class and she embarrassed me in front of the class." I see Chelsea laughing at me, and shaking her head.
