The Other Girl (#Wattys2016)

Chapter Thirteen

WAZZUP WAZZUP?!

So, when I said before that I'll be posting more often... I'd have to tell you that I was lying. But at that time, it wasn't really a lie. You see, my German family visited us last week and they'll be staying here until the end of April. So, yeah. I'm not sure if I will be able to update a lot. That's why I'd be posting two chapters today. I think that's enough, eh? 

So, yeah. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! :) x

I don’t love him. I just have this very strong feeling about him that everytime he smiles, he talks, and he looks me in the eyes my heart would melt like a poodle on the floor. That is definitely not love. Right?

Okay, so who am I kidding? Obviously, myself. But what can I possibly do? I can’t accept this feeling completely knowing that I won’t be able to control it. I mean the guy has his own relationship for Charlie’s sake! And I’m not the kind of girl who ruins relationship, especially when I know that they’re both happy and contented with what they have. I know exactly the feeling of breaking a relationship because of a third party. And I should not be talking about something like that because it’s not a pleasant memory. Okay… moving on.

So yesterday, Julius and I ditched school because of Keith. And then we did things that I never actually thought would happen in real life. It wasn’t completely a date, but for a hopeless romantic person like me, I’d like to think that it is. And then he brought me to a golf club and I saw all the lights and the dinner table and the instruments and I was like… “Oh my god he loves me back!”

And then he has to drop the bomb by saying, “Do you think Shannon will like this?” And just like that, my hoping-for-something-more heart went crumbling down like a building who just got hit by a plane at the very top floor. Fun day huh? It gets worse than that.

Right after they kissed, the love birds went inside to fetch me, we’re all going home together—which is awkward because… you know, it’s just awkward—when all of a sudden Shannon got a call that there’s an emergency and she has to go home as fast as she can. Being the great boyfriend, Julius said that he’ll send her home immediately. Being the great friend and a stupid girl, I said I’ll just walk home or something and that they don’t have to worry about me. But then all of a sudden another hero came into my life and rescued me, Hartel Williams. He’s Julius’s bestfriend and a very good guy.

Julius doesn’t want anything to happen to me so he said yes and trusted me to Hartel, which I think is cool because well… he’s hot. And he’s cute. And his blue eyes are very intimidating and so… electrifying you know? Yeah, whatever. Anyways, Julius and Shannon got going immediately and that leaves me with him, the best friend.

“I guess the two best friends have to stick to each other now, eh?” Hartel said, smiling at me nervously.

“Yeah,” I replied. “I guess.”

He chuckled. But it wasn’t as cute as how Julius does it. I mean, when Julius chuckle his eyes gleam you know, and when Hartel does it it’s just there’s no shine in his eyes or something, he’s just simply… wait a minute, since when did I start comparing people with Julius?!
