Our Little Past (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3: Love Her, Friend Him.

Chapter 3

    Two days have passed, and Friday has arrived. Time flies soooo fast! Charry is leaving today and I'm not prepared just yet. 

    I have just arrived from my bus ride with Charry. But somehow, I felt like we were not alone... Marcel. He caught up with us (technically me) because, of...... Oh, right! Remember the time I asked him if we could be best friends? Yeah, we are close, just close. I bet Char-Char was fine with it because obviously, she suggested it. So we all went to class together. 

    On our way, she whispered to me,

    "I'm leaving during lunch." 

    I was very surprised! So early! Huhuhuhuhu I think... I think I'm going to cry. But no, I have to be strong, be strong for her and I don't want Marcel seeing me cry, it would be so embarrassing.

    "Uhm, can you like, stay a bit? Or even just, uh, stay?!?!?"

    "You know I can't.... I'll just give you my US number. I have a registered phone for it already." she gave me a piece of paper with her number on it. Wow, she's really prepared.

    Marcel was just awkwardly standing there while Charlotte and I were hugging. After that, we all separated to our different classes.

     8:00-8:20 Homeroom

    8:20-9:00 French 

    9:00-9:40 English

    9:40-10:20 Chemistry

    10:20-11:00 Physical Education

    11:00-11:40 Biology

    11:40-12:20 Lunch

    I looked at my schedule and I shortly glared at the clock. It was time but our Biology teacher didn't let us go just yet. Even though the bell rang, she gave us homework. Until our time keeper...

    "Ms. Tan, it's uhm.... 12:25." she said.

    "Oh fine students. Just don't forget page 25-"

    She stopped as we all went outside. But I knew the homework already, she just repeated it like on the 5th time because, well, the "popular" girls were distracting her. I wrote what to answer on my mini notebook which helps me keep track of what to do (so that's why I'm called smart...). Page 25, Parts A, B & C of our text book. 

    I headed to the table where Charlotte and Marcel were sitting (if I wasn't out yet, Char-Char would reserve a place for us). It's the first time Marcel has eaten with us. I bet his friends were okay with the agreement.

    I sat down and saw a tray of fruit parfait and a hamburger. I bet this was mine because no one was obviously eating it and I'd sometimes choose this when there are no cherry pies.

    "Well, I have finished my mission my friends. I will now be departing soon. My commander will be fetching me after we all have finished our food." Charry joked. 

    "Aww Charry! I'll miss you too!" I said.

    "Oh Charlotte, you're leaving? Why so soon?" Marcel interrupted.

    "Well uhm," I continued, "She's transferring, to uh, San Diego." 

    "What? Is it because of, maybe, a parent? Having a job there?" he asked.

    Charlotte nodded.

    How'd he know that? His dad has gotten a job at San Diego since his last company where he worked in was bought by a bigger one. Very sad, right? 

    "Oh wow Marcel, you're so smart. Actually, too smart to guess that right. And that's why I asked you to be... my best friend. B-b-but," I got the chills as I continued, so I kinda actually spoke fast, "we're still close friends, better get used to each other." I finished while putting in some fruits in my mouth.

    "Yup." Char-Char said, "That's why be good to my one and only BFF, Marcel!" 

    "Oh sure. I don't have any problems with that." he told her.

    We all got silent because of eating.

    Marcel and I finished and brought the trays and put them on the tray rack. Charlotte followed.

    We brought her down to the fields and on the streets near the sidewalk where her mom, dad and her two younger siblings were waiting on their car.

    "So I guess, I guess this is, wow how ironic," she said while tearing up, "uhm, goodbye." 

    "Yeah, but we'll contact each other. kk?" I replied as I saw one tear fall from each of her eyes so I opened my arms out wide making her head lean on my shoulder. Then, wow, I cried.

    "Oh don't cry! You guys will be fine. And Charlotte, I'll be a very good friend to her so don't worry." Marcel said while Charry and I were hugging and sobbing on each other's shoulders.

    *honk, honkkk* The sound of Charry's car.

    "Oh, I gotta go for real now. Bye guys!" she said. Marcel and I both waved back.

    I wiped my tears away and we both went back inside to catch up to our next classes.

    I went down to our lockers after the last period of class so that Marcel and I could hang out. He wasn't there yet, so I just stuffed my things into my locker and got my phone out to text Charry.

    Heyya BFF! I miss u already! Txt me once u arrive at San Diego so like I'll wait for about a few days. Love u!!!! Xx ^_^.

    And send.

    After I have sent the message to her, I saw Marcel right in front of me, putting his stuff into his locker.

    "Hey." I said.

    "Oh, hi. So uh, wanna hang out? I'm finished fixing my stuff." he replied.

    "Yah, sure. Let's go to the fields. Where Charlotte and I used to hang out.... I really, really miss her."

    "Don't worry. She'll be fine. Besides, you've even got her number so you guys could communicate." he put a very cheeky grin on. I giggled.

    "What's wrong?" he asked.

    "Well, your smile is really cute."

    Cue the blushing.

    "Thanks. Your smiles too." 

    "Hahaha, thank you." Wow, he said my smiles were cute.

    I told him that we should go to the fields already. Like before, I didn't want to miss the beautiful sunset.

    It was 6:30 PM. I had to go home already because I need to eat my dinner and my mom would be calling to check if I was okay. My mom checks me all the time since I have moved out of my parent's house.

    "I need to uh, go already." I told him.

    "Okay. I need to go too."

    "Oh and, so we can keep in touch. May I have your number? Since well,uh we're close friends now."

    "Sure."

    We both exchanged numbers. I saw his "kind-of" unnoticeable expression. I wasn't that comfortable exchanging numbers but, lets just concentrate on going with the flow.
