Secrets-Conrad Fisher X MC

Chapter Eight

Age 12

Conrad was helping me doing math problems. 
"Just learn these formulas and this chapter will be pretty much over." He says.
"Conrad..let's take a break for now..My brain has reached the saturation level already." Not to mention we were studying since the last two hours continuously while the others were playing.
"Alright." He laughs.
I put my head down on the table and close my eyes but Conrad takes my notebook and starts drawing something in it.
"What are you drawing?" I lean closer to get a view. It was the infinity symbol.
"Why are you making that?" I laugh.
"We'll always stick together, Eve..promise me you won't forget me when we grow old." He says.
"I won't..this friendship matters alot to me..to us." I give him a reassuring smile.
"We'll always be there for each other..for infinity."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
We connect our pinkies together and link our thumbs.

"Come..let's have a lemonade." I grab Isa's hand.
"Oh..yeaah..I lo..love lemonades." she giggles.

The fireworks were about to begin. I saw Jeremiah and Steven discussing about something and I decided to join them since I was bored.

"She won't talk to me again." Steven said in a low voice.
I quickly understood what he and Jeremiah were talking about maybe he and Shayla had a fight.
"Steven..I am so so sorry..I didn't mean to tell that to Shayla..i was super drunk and it came out of my mouth." I say
"It was inevitable..I guess..She'd get to know about it one day anyway...but..I..I swear it was a mistake..I really like Shayla." He replies.
"So does she..you should apologize to her Steven."
"i guess it won't work out..I mean Shayla and I are from two different worlds..She doesn't even deserve some one like me."
"She fucking likes you Steven..I am damn sure..otherwise she wouldn't even have cared about what I said."
"i don't think.."
"Shut up dude, Evei is absolutely right stop overthinking and talk to her tomorrow..and tell her your feelings." Jeremiah interrupts.
"Yeah..just tell her that you love her and stop feeling insecure..she loves you the way are."
Steven looks at me and Jeremiah, and pulls us into a hug.
"You're cringing me now, Steven." I say
"Yeah..same." Jeremiah adds.

The fireworks have already started,I go and stand besides Conrad.
"I wanted to tell you about the necklace." He says.
"Isabel actually told me about it..but I thought she was really drunk and.." I smile.
"She told you the truth..I did get it for you."
"Then why didn't you give it to me?"
"I don't know..I got embarrassed and jealous..I guess."
"Eve..you don't know the effect you have on people." He continues
"Effect on people..i don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah..you do." He comes closer to me.
"no..no..i can't do this." I whisper.
I can't cheat on Aiden, that's all that came to my mind.
Damn I have made things more awkward now.

Age 12

"I need a dance partner as well." I say while looking at Steven and Conrad who were playing chess.
Jeremiah was already dancing with Isabel.
"I'll be your dance partner." Conrad exclaimed as he got up from the chair.
"but what about the game?" Steven said.
"Copy me." Conrad tells me.
I nod as he starts dancing.
"How'd you learn to shag?" I ask while trying to get the steps right.
"My mom." he smiles.
We danced on the remaining song while holding hands and laughing.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

At the deb ball's dance rehearsals me and Isa were the only ones who didn't have a partner yet. So we decided to be each others partners for the rehearsals
"I am so sorry." Isa stepped on my foot.
"It's okay..don't worry." I reassure her.
"Are you sure..i am so sorry."
"Yeah...yeah..I am fine."
"Mind if I have this dance?" Jeremiah asks, he was still in his life-guard uniform.
"Yes..she's all yours." I smile.
I partner up with Nicole since she also didn't have any partner at the moment as Conrad was still not there.
"You're gonna get me in trouble with paige." Isa smiles.
Shayla and Steven were right next to me.
"Does Jere ever takes anything seriously?"
Shayla murmers.
"Yeah food and flirting." I reply.
"Hey Alexa play So Pretty." Jeremiah commands Alexa.
Now everyone is cheering and dancing to 'So Pretty' with Jeremiah being in the center.
"What's going on here?" Paige asks and she definitely wasn't in a good mood.
"Jeremiah Fisher why aren't you at the pool?" She continues.
"We had a code brown and we lost the keys to the chemical closet." Jeremiah replies.
"Here you go." Paige throws the keys to Jeremiah.
"Thanks..Catch you later Bells." He winks at Isa and leaves.
As Jeremiah was leaving I saw Conrad standing in the doorway leaning on the wall.
He waves at me while smiling and, me & Nicole who was standing in front of me wave back to him. I felt embrassed as I for a second thought he was waving to his girlfriend and not me.
"Will you be my partner again?" Isa whispers.
"Sure." I smile and we continue with our dance practice.
