The Debacle Named AvaRafe

2.The Disastrous Meet

I am all but pacing the length of my room for the past hour or so, right from the time I returned from the disastrous meeting with the incarnation of the Satan himself! How in the world has God written such a grotesque fate in my name, I can't seem to understand. When I think my life cannot be any more sucky, I am thrust forward into another dimension of the saying "Karma's a bitch". But the thing I cannot quite interpret is, why is it always me that has to undergo through with this Debacle.

While I'm in all this turmoil, my door is slammed open and in walks the little devil who's the real cause of my internal debate.

He slips into my bed and starts rummaging through my bedside table drawer. He seems not to be aware of the torture that he has bestowed upon me. The thing is, his age is the envy of my life. The age where you don't have to worry about anything, there's no boundaries to your imagination, no need to be fashion conscious; you can as well call me a lousy person, but I do care for what I wear in public. Although I might not be the short dress, mini skirt girl , I do make myself presentable to others. The fact that I don't get any second glances is a completely different story though! Thats none of my problem.

I faintly hear some noise coming my way, and I find my bro with frown lines etched on his forehead. He's been talking to me the whole time and I managed to dodge all his words! Sometime, I think I might be an alien, you know , I can do the things Normal people can't really think of!

"Sis! Sissy!!! SISTER!!!!!!!"

Now that really draws my attention to him.

"Have you seriously gone to your heavenly abode. I've been narrating to u my most important dilemma, and I doubt you even heard a word of it!"

"Phil, way to be overdramatic. Stop with all your sass. Not gonna work on me. And where did you get hold of those complicated words again? Last time I checked you hated English!"

"You know sis, love changes everything!"

I'm literally taken aback with his words. I think, I heard something about love..as in LOVE..!! Oh my Gosh !! Where did that come from? And that too from my 10 year old brother. I'm seventeen and yet to find love. And he seems to already have discovered it. No I must really be dreaming right now.

"Come again. Didn't quite get you there. What did you say?"

"I said that love changes everything" he says and I don't miss the extra shine that lights up his eyes or the small smile that makes an appearance on his face. There really is something fishy going on around here. And I'll have to find that out right now.

"Woah! Hold down right there buddy! What are you implying on here exactly? Care to elaborate on that one. Coz' I ain't getting nowhere!"

"Sis, why is it always that I should be the older person and explain everything to you, when really it should be the other way around"

I think about it and realize that may really be the truth. He's much more mature than I am. How crappy does my life sound here? But I won't accept it to him though. Can't give him the pleasure of being right here.

"OK, now the suspense is killing me. So you better start speaking before I loose my temper. Don't forget I'm the elder here, no matter how mature you find yourself, I'm still older than you, pal!"

"Cool I'll explain to your dense excuse of a brain, what I'm talking about. The thing is I'm in luuuuove with Cassie! She's so sweet. And I think I'll marry her when I grow up."

Before you start reeling your brain for the name, I'll make it easy for you. Cassie is the same girl he made friends with this morning, at the park.

"You cannot tell if you love someone based on a single meet bro! She might as well be a voodoo doll in a beautiful girl's disguise!!"

"No, she's not a voodoo doll and this is not the first time I met her"

"What ?? You knew her before?? And how come I'm getting it known today?? Even if you met her earlier, how can you conclude that you really love her! That's preposterous! Hell, this never even happens in those sappy movies!"

"Take it easy sis. And do you even remember that I've been going off about a girl for the past month, guess who she was." There it hits me, he really was going crazy about this one girl and I, like always, was bent on shutting him off of my mind. My expression might have given him the answer, since he continued, "Aha! You got there ! It was Cassie."

Now I can really feel my life literally slipping away from my hands. Not that I'm not happy for my brother but because of whose sister he is in love with (or he thinks he's in love with! )

Flashback

I open my eyes to find a familiar pair of green topaz staring at me. I blink Once...Twice...Thrice...and then realise it's really happening and it wasn't just a dream. My life is a major bitch to me. I'm in my most awkward position and that is the least of my worries. The real thing is I'm in the arms of the great, arrogant, quarterback of St. Lawrence's football team, son of the richest couple of this town, and not to mention the only person I've ever had a teensy bit of crush on. Seeing him passing by me thousands of times in the school corridor and in the two or three classes we've shared together over the past few years has ignited the non-existent girly side in me. How cliché does this sound? A nerd crushing on the quarterback of the school! The boy she'll never be able to even talk to, let alone think of dating!

I think I'd yet again zoned out because the next thing I know is that my butt lands with a thud on the ground. I cry out loud since that hurt like bitch!

"Babes, I do know that I've got all the charms and looks of a model, but staring like your whole life depends on it, really seems rude, even to such a beautiful girl like yourself, so please would you mind to look away?"

Yep, that's Rafe Karrington to you! He looks all angelic and innocent, but the moment he opens his mouth, you get to see the real incarnation of Satan himself in him. The problem is he's without a doubt handsome, and he truly knows it!! That makes him extremely obnoxious and cocky!

Before I try retorting back to him with an equally sarcastic comment, my brother and the girl he was talking to, make an appearance.

"Are you alright sis? And why were you trying to run away from me? I was just asking you if you were free for the movie this weekend. It's going to be super fun! We could go on a double date. Yay! That would be so fun"

"Wait a sec! Double date??? What are you talking about? I didn't even say yes to this movie thing yet! You just can't go on planning for me!"

" Oh come on sis! Live a little. Cassie here wants to go watch a movie with me. And since her parents won't allow her to go alone, her brother would be tagging along. Same goes with me, but since Afron is busy this weekend, you are my only option. Please don't say no" He's yet again pulling his puppy dog face here.

Thinking about it, even I wanted to go watch that movie. It has produced quite the buzz around here. Internally debating, I reach the conclusion that it might really be good break from my monotonous life. But it then strikes me : DATE!!! I shoot my head in the girl's direction, that's when it hits me. And again I feel my heart sinking.

This really can't be happening right now. Cassie is in fact the sister of Rafe Karrington!!
