More Than Friends; Less Than Couples

Cathlyn:

"Who that?" Addie asked me. I shrugged and sat down. 18Chef is the best. As best friends, Ad, Gabriel (Gabe), Dylan and I are having lunch together. Dylan then interrupted, "hey isn't that Ryan and... SETH?!" All eyes were on Dylan due to his outburst. He shifted in his seat while I tried to stifle a laugh. Addie was the next to burst, "Ryan as in the one who trolled you and shit?" I nodded my head while Gabe just drank his ice-lemon tea. A little information about these people I call best friends.

Addie and Gabe are my babes. They are a year younger than I am but Addie is in the same co-curriculum activity as me and Gabe is in council. Gabe may seem a little gay but who cares, I love him. Addie is just enthusiastic about everything but has gone through a lot, that's how we clicked. Dylan is from the same primary school as me and i am constantly entrusted to keep him in check by Teachers so I got used to his presence. Overtime, somehow, through deep exchanges he became somewhat like my Brother.

Then there is the three whom I confronted. Shane, well he used to be my crush until he decided to go back on his words. It was then, I no longer believed in love, not in my life at least. Many argue that there is friendship and kinship. No, I mean Eros love. But he did shatter my image of Friendship until Dylan helped me glue those pieces back. I mean, who the hell blames Friendship on one person, it's two sided not one. Then there is Ryan, the guy who trolls me to hell. Saying he likes me then wanting to kiss me and all those drama. A gamer, who only has games in mind. I don't even know and understand love, how does he? What more, doesn't he get the idea of "not wanting to date"? Last, Seth. He doesn't remember me, I know it, I heard him asking the guys what type of girl I am. He doesn't remember the encounter in the park and I don't mind it being this way. However, they were right about one thing. I don't date, I would crush their crush on me and I don't play hard to get, I am hard to get, deal with it.

Well, anyways, i could still hear the guys talking about me but I Guess I can't just charge over there again. Oh wait I can but I ain't shameless. Those 3 will be the death of me, soon. It's either coincidence or hades' plan to kill me. "Or cupid's, Athena is also plausible." Glenn spoke up. I shook my head. Impossible, I, Cathlyn Carter, would fall for one of them. I must be mental. Wait, did I say my thoughts out loud again? And everybody on the table laughed. GEE thanks guys, I can feel the love.

Our food soon arrived and I immediately started eating. The cheese is so delicious. On many occasions, people say I eat more than guys but hey, you can't blame a girl who is continuously in a rush. Tomorrow would be the first day of school, again. Sad. Holidays are ending, at least I'm spending my last day with my friends. Being 15 sucks, especially for a Singaporean girl attending secondary school. Basically, it would be my third year and it's the year where I would be busiest. School till 3, CCA Everyday, tuition on Monday night and Saturday afternoon, dance class on Saturday morning, then rush homework on Sunday. My life sucks.

Back to the present, I notice Seth, Ryan and Shane walking towards us. I groaned when Dylan nudged me. The ships would resurface once again. Ad, Gabe and Dylan knows my encounter with Seth. It's irritating really. I regret it Everyday. I stabbed my fork into my pasta, "hi, how can I help you gentlemen not?" I said with a creepy smile etched onto my face. Ryan placed his head above mine, the weight pushing me down. I don't need to be shorter than I already am, so stop making me shorter.

"Get your fat head off mine. I wonder how your head have not collapsed to the ground with all that fats." Truth be told, he is far from fat but girls never speak what's on their mind except to their best friends. All the time, I was glaring at Shane. The guy who broke my heart. Yes, I have been through a broken heart at a tender age of 12. I convinced that it was nothing serious but a crush that we all know would be crushed. It's why it's a called a crush, cause it crushes your heart.

Seth on the other hand was wearing a grin. Smiling at me. Why? I have no idea. I just slammed his table. Unless he remembered who I am which I doubt so, cause I'm sure as hell he would have told them by now. Then I returned my Glare to Shane who is now shifting in his position. Aww, is the guy guilty, well too late for that. Suddenly there was a Soft pressure on my cheeks. It was light and short. My friends "ooo"-ed and I then realised. I turned my head fast and whipped Ryan in the face.

"Yes. I know Dylan is your good Friend but no need to use his tricks to try and get a girl, it's hopeless. You do that one more time, we shall have an reenactment of what happened in class." I huffed and Ad winked at me while the two guy smirked. Then I felt hands on my shoulders and rubbing it in. I turned around and put my arms around her. "Jeri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She pulled out the seat beside her, and sat down. All eyes were on her. I forgot my babes and bro don't know her.

"Her name is Jerika. I call her Jeri or J." I winked. Then Dylan burst, "AHA I KNEW J WAS A GIRL. Wait, is...was...I don't care." A little about Jeri. Well she goes to the same dance company as me. She is the same age, taller than me and my main gossiper. We gossip from Hollywood news to youth trends to friends and lastly guys. I am one month older than her, and that makes her the ahjuma of the dance company. Guess she saw me and came over. "So who is the S guy?"

"Ass guy? You mean asshole," Shane butted in. "The one behind. And we say S guy cause there are innocent ones in dance and we can't really curse so S guy refers to sex guy aka Ryan because he used to ask for Sex because he is horny and is not hot enough to attract girls to relieve his needs." I smirked and I could tell he is blushing by the way Dylan is laughing at him and pointing to something above me. "Well...you are not popular because you are inexperienced and-"

"Isn't that a good thing? I'm a virgin, I am sacred to my Husband which means i am loyal." The 3 guys exclaimed, "you have a Husband?!" I nodded my head, taking the ring out from under my shirt. They gaped while my babes, Brother and Jeri tried to stifle a laugh. The necklace was actually from my Best Friend in my school. But we have a lot of cliques so we spend time only in school and studying. "Okok, too young to get married, so fiancé." They gave the confused look as I continued my food. Then Dylan spoke out, "it's just Zoe, as a birthday present." I laughed, hey it's good to laugh.

"If you have finished, GET OUT!" Jeri exclaimed. Guess her claustrophobia is getting to her. My babes and I chorused, "get out, get out, get out of my head. Fall into my arms instead. I don't, I don't, don't know what it is. But I need that one thing and you got that one thing!" We giggled at the end. In the middle, Jeri and Dylan joined in. And like that, I don't know how, the 3 guys are gone. Good. Chased them away from 1D power perhaps. But hey I'm not complaining, in fact I'm rejoicing.
