Latte Cookie and Cream Puff - The Story of Their 'Typical' Relationship

Chapter 4 - That One CURSED 'Meme'

I woke up. I ate breakfast,got dressed and everything else just like usual. I was totally chill - not knowing what was about to happen.

So,I when I went out - I was surprised when Parfait looked suspiciously at me but maybe it's just another lame detail like I don't know about where her next concert is or what song she's releasing next.

I went onto the bus and as soon as I went in,everyone started laughing wildly. I guessed that some people were just scrolling on Instagram or something and are laughing at some funny photo or video. But the question was why did everyone start being so weird every time when I was around?

That question was on my mind the whole journey even if I was scrolling on Facebook,I couldn't stop thinking about it.

But then I thought it's going to get better at school throughout the day. But,it didn't. Instead,it went worse.

As I was walking up to Pumpkin Pie,everyone were laughing,squealing and screaming,when I walked past. I didn't understand why that was but clearly it had something to do with me.

So,when I came up to Pumpkin Pie she also looked weirdly at me. What was going on?

So I decided to get over it and asked Pumpkin Pie in the face :
'Why are everyone weirdly staring at me?Parfait,people in the bus,everyone who I walked past,now you. What's going on?'

Pumpkin Pie asked :
'So you don't know?...'

I ask :
'Know what?'

For a moment,I was seriously annoyed. Even Pumpkin Pie was way more mysterious than normal.

Pumpkin Pie replies,clearly irritated :
'I'll just show you.'

She went onto Facebook searched up 'Latte and Cream Puff'. It then shown some video with the title 'Teacher And Student Being Suspicious'. I was already freaking out inside,Pumpkin Pie with a straight line instead of a usual smile on her face.

I watched the whole video. It was like seven minutes,showing snippets of my meeting with Latte yesterday,clearly edited cause it shows moments that didn't happen. When the video finished,I just stood there astonished. Latte actually let that random person who posted it to actually record us?Did she not realise him/her or did she actually not care?

Anyways,I know why I'm the centre of attention now. Because everyone's thinking I'm DATING Latte when that's NOT true!

I am ruined in this school now - clearly if I wasn't the centre of attention back in Year 7,cause of Chocolate Bonbon Cookie clearly I was lucky for her to not do anything to me,but I wasn't lucky enough to avoid a similar situation a couple of years later. Specifically,in YEAR 11.

The problem is in Year 7 it'd be much less severe because nothing really happens in the first year of high school. But,it's Year 11. And if this situation will go way out of control,all of the other teachers will know.  And if they will know,there is a high chance that I won't be allowed to attempt my actual GCSEs. And without my GCSEs,I won't be able to go to either college or work. And I'll have no future.

This is a TOTAL DISASTER!

Someone SAVE ME!

Pumpkin Pie put my hand on my shoulder and says :
'I'm really sorry. This is seriously so awkward and tricky. All I can advise is to talk to Latte about it and try to get the situation back into control.'

I nod. I say :
'Thanks,Pumpkin Pie. Good to know that at least you're on my side.'

Pumpkin Pie smiles a little. She says :
'Cream Puff,you're like my best friend since Year 7. I'd always be on your side,no matter what.'

I smile a little too. But then I sulk again,on the thought of the 'meme'. It wasn't really a meme,that video wasn't funny at all,but clearly someone made it either for a joke or to ruin my and Latte's life. I feel like it's the other option more likely,sadly :(. Plus,memes were pictures not videos but I don't know how else to call that video.

Mentioning Latte,I hope she's alright even if she technically let that person to record us. I'm sure she's going through the same kind of pain as I am. I hope she won't get fired cause of that one stupid video. Like seriously,this situation is really awkward and I feel like I want to die. And I don't want to know,how Latte feels like right now. Probably really sad or angry.

So as advised,I decided to talk to Latte but later on today,not now. But did I want to talk with her...not really. I feel she betrayed me,but I could've expected that cause I only know her like since yesterday morning. However,I had to talk to her,try to find some potential solutions and face the problem.

Honestly,don't ask what's happening with my life. It's very weird overall,at least in my opinion. My life,piece after piece is crumbling more and more,to my despair...
