Charmed Next Generation!

Chapter 22: Break Up!

Penelope's POV:
     I never commit to anyone. But I'm dating this guy and I'm starting to really like him. No! I can't like him. His name is Cory. Ugh! I can't fall for someone! No way! I walked into the school and saw Cory at his locker. I couldn't help but smile. But then I frowned and I took a deep breath. I need to break up with him before I really start falling in love.
      I walked over to him with a smile. "Hey." I greeted. "Oh, hi." Cory greeted. "We need to talk." I stated. "I agree." Cory stated and I nodded. Then Tamora walked over. "Hey!" Tamora exclaimed. "Hi." I greeted. "We need to talk." Tam stated. "Well, we're about to talk." I stated. "Well, this is important." Tam stated. "So is this." I stated. "Pen!" Tam exclaimed and I sighed. "Okay. I'll be right back." I stated and walked off with Tamora until we were by ourselves.
      "What do you want, Tam?" I asked. "I think Lucas has the same feelings for Kat as Kat has for Lucas." Tamora stated and my eyes widended. "Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed. "Yeah. I think that's why he's pulling away. I don't think he likes me all that much." Tam stated. "Do you like him?" I asked. "No. But he's supposed to like me and then I'm supposed to break his heart." Tam replied. "I know. But we're in high school. Things are getting more complicated. Maybe we can't keep acting like this." I stated. "What? Is there something you're not telling me?" Tamora asked. "No. Of course not." I replied. "Is this about Cory?" Tamora asked. "No." I replied. "Do you like him?" Tamora asked. "No." I replied. "Are you sure?" Tamora asked. "Yes." I replied. "Good. This is who we are, we can't change who we are." Tamora stated and I sighed. "I know." I agreed. She's right. This is who I am. I'm a horrible person. I use and manipulate guys. I make guys fall for me and I break their heart and I laugh about it later on. Tam and I both do that. I can't change that. I looked over at Cory and then looked back at Tam. "Yeah, I have to go." I stated and walked away.

Tamora's POV:
       After Penelope left I sighed. Why am I not happy about this being me? Do I want to change? No! Of course not! This is who I am, no matter what. I sighed and put my hair back into a beret. I went to my locker and opened it. I took off my jacket and put it there and grabbed what I needed. I shut my locker door and locked it. What am I going to do about Lucas and Kat? I can't break his heart until he falls for me. I looked over and saw Kat and Lucas talking. That's weird.... They usually only talk at their lockers. But now, their talking on their own. Are you kidding me? He won't fall for me with Kat talking him up.

Katerina's POV:
      I shut my locker and started walking. About a couple of minutes of walking I saw Lucas and I couldn't help but smile. But then I saw Tamora glare at me and I looked away and frowned. I bumped into a water fountain and dropped my stuff. I sighed and started picking my stuff up. I saw some feet and someone bent down and helped me. I looked up and saw Lucas smiling at me. I smiled back and he helped me. We both stood up and he handed me my book and our hands touched. My heart raced. We just stayed like that for a few moments. We both removed our hand at the same time and my book dropped. Lucas picked it up and me my book and I accepted it. Then we started talking for a little bit.

Penelope's POV:
   I walked back over to Cory with a smile. "Hey." I greeted. "Hi. Could we talk?" Cory asked. "Yeah. I need to talk to you too." I replied. Then the bell rang. "We could be late." I stated. "No. We'll talk at lunch." Cory stated and walked off. Huh. That's weird. I wonder what's up with him. I just need to break his heart before he gets hurt because of me. Okay.... That sounded weird, even in my head. But still. I don't know what to do.
     At lunch I was about to walk into the cafeteria when someone grabbed my hand. I look over and saw Cory. I smiled at him as he pulled me outside. "So...." I started. "Could I start?" Cory asked. "Y-yeah." I replied. "Good. We have to break up." Cory stated and my smile faded. "What?" I asked. "I overheard you talking to Tamora. I'm just a game to you." Cory stated. "No. Th-that's not true." I stated as I felt tears in my eyes. "I fell for you. I really did. I liked you since the moment I first saw you five years ago. You finally asked me out and I was happy. Only to find out that you have been using me. I'm not some toy, I have more self respect for. I'm done chasing some girl when she will never like me like that, even if I'm in love with her." Cory stated and walked away. I started crying right there, and for once I didn't care.

Tamora's POV:
    Once I was about to go and talk to Lucas and Kat, but the bell rang. They both split up and left and I sighed. Great! Kat walked towards me and then went across the corner and away from me. Then Lucas went the opposite way and I watched him go into a classroom. I sighed and left.
       At lunch, I was looking for Lucas. But then I saw Kat and walked over to her. "You called me a terrible person! But you are trying to steal Lucas away from me!" I exclaimed. "I am not! Luke and I are friends! We were before you guys became an item!" Kat exclaimed. "But now you should stay away so we can stay an item!" I exclaimed. "But you're not going to stay an item! You're gonna break his heart!" Kat exclaimed. "Quiet down!" I whisper-yelled. Katerina started crying. "No! I'm not going to watch and let you do this to Luke. He's my friend, and I do care about him. A lot. A lot more then he realizes. A lot more then you realize. A lot more then I realize. You're my twin, I care about you. But I hate myself for that. Because I know that you will never care about me half as much as I care about you. You don't care about anyone except Penelope because she's just awful and like you. I hate that I care about you. But you're my sister and unlike you, I have feelings. I'm done being nice and getting walked over, especially by you. I'm not going to stop being nice, it's who I am. Just like this is who you are. But I will not be walked over by you. I'm done. I'm not going to let you hurt someone else I care about. You knew I liked him and you went for it anyways because that is just who you are. As far as I'm concerned, you're not my twin. Heck, you're not my sister." Kat explained in tears. She then walked off and I sighed.

Katerina's POV:
   I ran off crying. I ran into Lucas and sighed. "H-hey." I greeted. "Hi. What's wrong?" Lucas asked. "Nothing." I replied. "Something's wrong." Lucas stated. "That's sweet. But I'm fine. Go be with your girlfriend. Wait, no. I don't want to break up a relationship, but I care too much about you to let you get hurt." I explained. "What are you talking about?" Lucas asked. "Tamora." I replied. "I was on my way to break up with her." Lucas stated. "You were?" I asked. "Yeah. What were you going to tell me?" Lucas asked. "Tamora is an evil person. She wants to hurt you." I stated. "Yeah, not that surprised. I should go." Lucas stated but I stopped him. "Why?" I asked. "Why What?" Lucas asked. "Why do you want to break up with her?" I asked. "Because I don't love her. I love someone else." Lucas replied. "Oh." I stated. "After I break up with Tamora, I'm going to get her. She's the best person I know." Lucas stated and I nodded. "Great! You deserve to be happy!" I exclaimed and walked off and watched him leave.

Tamora's POV:
     I was looking for Lucas now. I can't believe Kat. She says all of this mean stuff and then calls my Lucas by a nickname. Luke. Please. "Tamora!" Lucas called. I turned around and smiled at him. "Hey." I greeted. I tried to give him a kiss but he pushed away. "What's wrong?" I asked. "We have to break up." Lucas replied and my face fell. "What?" I asked. "I'm in love with someone else." Lucas replied. "Is this about Kat?" I asked. "Maybe." Lucas replied. "Did she tell you what I was planning?" I asked. "Not exactly. She said that you're a terrible person and just wants to hurt me, which I'm not too surprised about." Lucas replied. "Omg!" I exclaimed. This is unbelievable!
  "But that's not why I'm breaking up with you." Lucas stated. "Then why?" I asked. "I'm in love with someone else." Lucas stated. "Who?" I asked. "Not important." Lucas replied. "Flirting. Cute smiling. Talking a lot. Long stares. Awkward stares. Accidentally touching hands and staying like that. Glances. Awkward laughing. Kat. My sister. You're in love with my twin sister." I explained. Lucas took a deep breath. "Yes." Lucas replied. I glared at him and then he left.
