New York- Where Dreams are Made

Chapter 37- Schools in

I yawned as I half listened to Mrs. Cunningham drone on about biology. I remembered being over the moon when I saw Anthony was in this class with me. I also threw up a little in my mouth when I saw Grace was in this class too. I forgot to mention her to Anthony.

It has been three weeks since the whole Anthony incident. I shuddered just thinking about it. I turned my head to look at the adorable freckle faced boy. One question still haunted me. Do I love Anthony? I knew he was probably one of my best friends but do I love him? His eyes regained their flame. I remembered seeing the pained and sad look in his eyes. His fire had burned out. I had brought it back. I smiled at the boy. He still wore long sleeved shirts to hide his pain but I made sure the boys kept careful watch over him.

He turned his head slightly to face me. I threw my head forward in attempt to hide my staring. He laughed silently.

After about twenty minutes we were dismissed. I walked Anthony outside only to be stopped by a hand on shoulder. I looked down at the hand. It was cold and the nails were painted bright green. I took in a sharp breath and turned around. Grace smirked at me.

"Who is this Charlotte? He's awful cute." She giggled and smiled at him. His face turned red and I took a step forward. "My name is Grace but you can call me anytime." She held out her hand and giggled. Anthony laughed and shook her hand. Omg! Is she serious? "Mind if I talk to you for a moment Sweetie? Let's get some coffee! I want to get to know you. I'm one of charlottes good friends." She shot me a glare and I felt my face heat up. He laughed and followed her. "You wanna come Char?" He asked turning to face me. I fought back tears and shook my head. "I'll text you later love!" His southern charm showing. That doesn't mean anything. Everyone in Tennessee calls everyone love. I watched them disappear and fled to my building.

I bounded up the stairs and fiddled angrily with my keys. Large tears fell down my face. I threw open my door and flopped onto my bed. Katie had a change in schedule so she was in class now. I groaned.

How could she do this? Why does she hate me so much? I held my pillow to my face and screamed. Surely he will realize she's not my friend. Clearly she isn't. He won't fall for that. Right?

What have I created?

Third person view

Anthony felt his heart warm as this beautiful blonde girl talked in a nervous voice. Would it be wrong to like her and not Charlotte? He shook his head. No that's insane. You've known Charlotte your whole life and this girl a whole hour. Still....

Aaaaaaaaand back to Charlotte.

I rolled around trying to find a comfortable spot. A million thoughts flooded my brain. Stupid boys. I thought throwing a fist into the air above me. My phone rang and I bounded out of my bed hitting my elbow on the nightstand in the process.

From: Burgermeister- Grace is amazing ! How come you never told me about her?

I wanted to slap myself. I put my phone back down and decided to wait for Katie. She always knew exactly what to do.
