Wings

Chapter 6

*Bell rings*

“So, Raymond, where are we rolling?”

“Pizza Planet. I want to introduce you to some friends AND treat you, milady.”

“You are such a joker.” I said, playfully slapping his chest. He laughed at that.

“Hop in.” he said as he gestured his car.

“Wow.” I said in amazement. His car was a Honda 76.

“You like it?”

“Yes! This is very nice!” I said.

“I am glad you like it.” He said looking at the steer-wheel, smirking.

Woh, Woh, Woh. A minute there. Chloe warned me in my class that Raymond is such a player and I better be careful of him, watch out honey-poo. What? She said exactly the same!

We reached Pizza Planet after a 10 minute drive. Yes, Pizza Planet is near our school.

“Heyyyy… dudes.” Raymond said, as he shook hands with his gang,

“Where is Jack?” he asked.

Jack. Oh my Jack. Don’t tell me he ran away because Raymond is bringing me here!

“He is at the toilet.” said the gang, laughing. “He had some… issues to deal with.” Raymond joined the laughter at this point. I just raised my eyebrows because I seriously didn’t know what they were talking about.

“Oh there he comes!” all our heads turned with the voice.

That is when I saw him.

That is when my heart scattered into pieces.

“Hey hey, how you doing?” Jack said, hugging Raymond.

“Fine, dude.” replied Raymond. “I wanted to introduce you guys with her.” he said, holding my hand.

“Your girlfriend?” asked Jack. “What a coincidence. I wanted to introduce you guys to my girlfriend too. Meet Cassidy Morland, guys.”

“Oh, I know her.” said Cassidy, pointing at me. “Julie Ann Daniella, aren’t you?” 

“Yes.” I said, looking at the ground.

“Seriously, Raymond. You need some glasses.” said Cassidy as she laughed, more like laughing at me.

Raymond looked at me and was shocked. I was about to cry. He faced to Cassidy.

“Look, Catherine or whatever your name is, she is not my girlfriend and even if she was, I would never regret my choice. The sure thing is she is way better than you. So back off.” he said, putting his arm around me. Cassidy looks shocked.

“She is way better than me? Oh come on, I met her this morning and she didn’t even know me! I mean ME!!! The prom queen to be!!”

“Well, I didn’t know about that too! Surprise!” said Raymond, as he hanged out his tongue. Cassidy was jumping in anger.

“F*ck you!!!” she yelled as she gave us one angry stare.

“I am going. We are over, Jack Millers.” she said as she pushed away Jacky and stormed through the path.

“Cass, wait!!!” said Jack as she ran to her. But no avail to his effort, she drove away.

“Damn!” he let out a quiet cry as he scowled at Raymond and me.

It was creepy. Then he approached at slowly and slowly to us. My brain kept sending me alerts again and again. My head was screaming ‘May Day!’ ‘May Day!’ and I didn’t know what to do.
