13: Friends again?

Ren Greens:

" Oh I am fine, I am great. I was so focused on the paragraph, sorry, " I answered, only half-lying this time and he nodded. He got up and he sat beside me on my bed. He glance at my laptop and he saw I was typing still. Then he decided to closed my laptop, and I looked at him with anger face. Caleb loves to closing my laptop when I was working on something. Then the next thing what happens is he tried to flirt with me. But I can't blush in front of him because he doesn't like me back.

Plus that is the reason why I have the disease. Then again, I still love the guy. So I cannot blush or laugh with his jokes. I asked him why he flirts to me because he wants to ' practice ' his skills. So he find the love of his life, but I love him so much. Unfortunately, I already accepted the truth and same with Leah. Caleb likes Aisha, " If you are going to flirt to me, do it on Aisha. The girl you date, " I told to him and I went to opened my laptop. Then I kept working, and I am not falling for those tricks.

" How did you know? " Caleb asked to me with shocked. I knew I had to lie again, " Leah told to me, you two are dating. I really thought Aisha was lesbian, but no she is straight. You, you are demiromantic. So you can like one gender half the time, " I mentioned, and I rolled my eyes. " So, you do know. " I nodded in respond as I kept working on the essay. I was working on it for a few more minutes and I noticed Caleb wasn't doing any of the work.

I looked at him, he was about to closed my laptop again. " Really, Caleb? I swear you did this all the time when we were in high school. I swear, you still have that same personality before college. " He started to laughed and I realized he closed my laptop. This motherfucker. I will beat his ass. But I don't have strength to do it. " You motherfucker, if you don't stop laughing. I will beat your ass like I did in high school. Plus, I am ain't hesitant, fucker, " I threatened him, but he didn't stop.

I sighed and I got up, I picked a chinela from the floor. Then I was about to beat Caleb's ass, and he was gone. This motherfucker, I thought he really changed when we got to college. Then I felt my chinela was taken from my hand. " Really, I would I have beaten your ass. But you little shit, " I turn around and he was laughing. " Well if you weren't slow, maybe you co- OWW! WHAT THE FUCK!?!"

I slapped him in the face so hard. " Never make with a Greens, Caleb. Gosh, I might have got that from my mom." I mean my mom was a strong woman. I giggled and Caleb was on the floor being a baby. " You are still the same, blooming flower, " he told to me as I helped him up. I giggled again, I mean I was always same until I found out I have the fucking disease. I sighed, and I was the same as always. 

" Maybe we should friends again, please, blooming flower? " He held his hand out and I was thinking. I really don't know, I always overthink a lot. " I don't know after what happened two years ago, Caleb. I will think about it, okay. You know that you have a busy schedule, but I don't know. Plus I'm not worth the time, and we are just partners for this project. After this, we will go our separate ways. I don't know, and I am shocked you still have my number. When I texted you a month ago, " I explained to him and he sighed. He took his hand back, " Well, then I will give you that time, then. But you are wrong, I want to hang out with you like old times. When me, you, Leah and Aisha were together as friends. We could convince Aisha to come back, come on, we have to try at least once, " he tried to convince me.

I really don't know about this because I knew things will changed. Not all good things last forever, that's why I am going to spend some of my last months with my parents and my older sister, Leah. I really don't know at this point. But if we do get the money, I guess, I will be aroace. But it is the best choice, Caleb likes Aisha. I rather be single, than this.

" I can't, Caleb. You know I can hold grudges and Aisha changed. Plus I can't changed her back, we need to keep working on the project. Please, I don't want to deal with Aisha's bullying. It's hurts when they are telling the truth about you. I thought I could change her back, but there is no way to convince her, you know that. I need some time, and we need to work this project. This is due in a two weeks. "

Caleb looked surprised and I went to type on my laptop again as usual. Then Caleb worked on the last paragraph. I don't want to talk about the past, the only times I want to talk about the past is when me and Leah are reminiscing about the past. I sighed and I kept working on the essay. I know how bad the damage that Aisha and Caleb did. 

" I want to know about something, " Caleb said out of the blue and I said without looking at him, " Go on."

" How's it been with you and Leah? I know we left you two, but I want to know. How's it been? "

" We are fine, Leah is working as coach assistant. I am still work at the café down the street, because we need the money to pay the student loans."

" That's great, I really wish our group back."

I was shocked about this. Caleb had the same wish as me, I mean I did wish for that as well. 

" Me too, " I mumbled and  Caleb looked at me with a look. " Did you say something? " He asked to me and I was silent. I wanted to lie, but then I started to cough again. " I have to go * cough * to the bathroom, " I rushed out of the room. I vomited blood and flowers, I felt the pain in my throat. I gripped my throat as I finished vomiting.

" Ren?"
