A Letter 2 Years Late

Chapter 10 - Single, Brandon or... Fred?

It was Saturday morning so thank god I didn't have to wake up early. My mind was still a jig-saw puzzle, wondering what Professor McGonagall wasn't telling me and trying to figure out that kiss between me and Fred. What did it mean? I was so confused.

"ARGG," I shouted into my pillow, burying my face even deeper.

"Well do you like him?" Karen asked.

"Yes, no maybe, I don't know!" I groaned.

"Tressa we can't help if you can't tell us whether you like him or not..." Kaitlin said softly.

"I'm so confused!"

"Do you still like Brandon?" Rose asked.

"Kind of..."

"Has he apologised yet?"

"It was quick this morning....." Rose, Kaitlin and Karen frowned.

"Maybe you should move on." Rose said.

"You could give my bro a chance..." Karen added

"That's kinda awkward..."

"That his our brother or just what Karen said?" Kaitlin asked

"That he's your brother and that you want me to date him."

"Well it's been three weeks and I don't see Brandon asking to be with you again..." Karen stated

"So you think I should just date Fred instead now?" I asked confused. My brain was starting to hurt.

"You can't wait forever..."

"Who said I was waiting for him?"

"So do you like Fred then? You can't ignore him forever too! He's confused about whether you even want to be friends anymore. AND he's my brother so I am forcing you to go talk to him."

"The fact that he's your brother is supposed to be the selling point?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Talk to him!" Kaitlin groaned, "I'm tired of him not planning a prank every 5 seconds! Even uncle Freddie is starting to get worried!"

"Not planning a prank every 5 seconds is a bad thing?" I asked giving her a wierd look.

"For Fred it is."

"True..." I sighed

"Hey, Tressa, let's go to the library, we both have to get our work done and if we don't start now we never will. We can worry about Fred later..." Rose said softly, changing the subject. Of course she was talking about homework on a saturday... but then again, she was right, I did have to get my work done. And it did save me from needing to continue this conversation.

I groaned

"Fine, but if we see him, we're are leaving." I got up and got changed and grabbed my bag as Rose pouted.

"Tressa, he's my cousin,"

"Then I'm leaving." I stated bluntly before walking out the door, Rose right behind me.

"You can't avoid him forever!"

"Yes-"

"Who are you avoiding?" Cecilia asked innocently.

"No one," I mummbled. So far I had only told Rose, Karen and Kaitlin, since they were his family.

"Why can't you tell me?" Cecilia pouted.

"Because I'm not avoiding anyone..." I replied

"Roseeee!"

Rose chuckled, "Relax Cecilia, it's nothing important. We have to go finish our work in the library now." She grabbed me by the wrist, saying a quick goodbye.
