Stone of Love

Chapter 14 - My Story

I have been with Steve these past few days. I know we’re not that close yet and I can’t still trust him yet I promised that I will help him about his relationship with Stella. Every time we talk about her I could always feel that Steve still has feelings for her. I know it will be hard for him since their relationship lasted for 2 years already.

As the days pass by and every time I could see how Steve misses Stella I always ask myself if is it all because of me. I mean, I know this will not happen if it’s not because of me…. Giving Steve some love advice that I don’t actually know why they popped out from my mouth. Maybe if I refused to eat with Steve before, he will not have the idea of having a cool off with Stella… Yah cool off which was led to breakup… and it is because of me.

Well this is the reason why every time Stella was our topic I keep on apologizing to Steve. But everytime I say “I’m sorry” he’ll always answer “it’s not you fault”.

But since I was the one who broke their relationship, I must find a way for them to bring back their relationship. I know that I told Steve before that he must let Stella learn her lesson but like what I’ve said I really don’t know why I advised that to him.

Actually I’m very happy that now, I have a friend at school. Though I have Dylan as my friend, I still want to have more like my best friends before.  But I don’t think I can manage to have a close friend after Stella shouted on me within a large crowd. Now, every time I walk in the corridors with Steve students will stare at me like I’m a murderer or something, laugh or whisper. So maybe Steve will be my first and last friend here in Pennington High. How I wish I wasn’t transferred here.

“Ria isn’t it I already told you many things about me and Stella?” Steve asked me while we’re sitting in the cafeteria and me waiting for Dylan.

“Yeah” I answered

“Why don’t you tell me your story too?”

“What? But why? There’s nothing in my life that is so interesting.”

“Well… I just want to know you more…please?”

“Alright what do you want to know about me?”

“Wait let me think…. Oh I know.. Is Dylan your boyfriend?”

“What no! he’s just a friend of mine and his father is my father’s boss at his office”

“Oh.. alright.. so you really don’t live here?”

“Yep.”

“You’re from New York right?”

“Yes” I answered while smiling at him.

“Actually our family live in New York before and I’ve been there lately just before the classes start”

“Really? Cool! Why did your family left NY?”

“I don’t actually know the truth.. what I just know is my Dad had a new business  so we need to leave NY.”

“Oh…”

A short silence surrounded us then I planned to start the conversation this time.

“Wait.. have you been in Paradise Amusement Park? The Park known for it’s roller coaster?” I asked

“Yes. I’ve been there the last time I visited New York. And I also rode in that coaster”

Then I remembered that me and my friends also went there before I left New York..which is before the classes started. So it means there is a possibility that…………

I looked at Steve from his hair up to his chin… That’s why he looks familiar… he’s the guy I sat with in the roller coaster!

“When you visited that park are you waering a tinted black rayban shades?” I asked
