Lies and Memories

Four

I am so frustrated. I am trying so hard to think who he is! Then this annoying guy is adding up into my nerves! "Hey Charlotte!" Jacob said as he approached me.

"What do you want?" I asked. "Nothing. Just seeing you makes my day." He said while winking. "You think that's cute?" I asked. "Why? Don't you think so?" He said while grinning obviously being proud of himself. "No. I think I'm going to puke!" I said as I made my way to our class.

"Can't you appreciate me?" He said while pouting. "I can't. I'm sorry." Trying to add sarcasm in my tone. "Tsk. Don't tell me you're thinking of Justin." He said. "Aawww Jake the dog is jealous." I said. "Am not!" He denied.

I just chuckled because of amusement. He sure is something. "Charlotte! Are you ready for tomorrow?" Justin asked while running towards us. "Of course!" I said grinning.

But, why do I have a feeling that someone is watching us?

I turned around and saw no one. Maybe I am just assuming.

"Great! I'll pick you up!" He said smiling. Then he looked at Jacob then he nod.

What's up with this two?

Jacob just smiled when I looked at him. Huh. Odd. "So... can I join you two?" Jacob asked.

"No." I quickly said. Then he looked at Justin. "Well... the girl said no, so... sorry bro."

I smirked at Jacob.

Jacob looked pissed off as he left our place. "What's up with you two?" Justin asked. "I don't even know." I said.

Argh. I'm having this weird feeling, when I see him not doing anything about my date with Justin.

Wait.

Gosh! What am I thinking?! I shouldn't think that way! I am having a date with Justin! Give some dang freedom. But... why do I feel like I am missing somebody?
"Charlotte. Are you still listening?" Justin asked. "Huh? Ah eh... what were you saying?" I asked, ashamed. "Err... nevermind. So, wanna go out today?" He casually said. "Oohh.. you are fast out goer!" I teased. If only Jacob is like this... Wait. No! This is a bad thing. Why do I think of him? 'Because maybe you like him?' My brain said. 'I don't! I just met him for 3 months only!' I protested. 'So what? Its not about how long you two are close.' My heart defended.
Shit. I am arguing with myself. I'm going crazy. "Charlotte I think you aren't catching up again." Justin said. "I am! Uuhhh... please continue." Argh. Why am I thinking about this all of a sudden?  "I'm going to tell something to you on Saturday so make sure that you'll come." He said. I smiled and nod. "Bye. Gotta go home now." I smiled and waved at him.

What am I doing!

"Hey Reese. What are you cooking?" I asked as I sat down in our living room. "You're favorite. Egg Roulette with my ultimate Fillet." Reese said. "Nice. I'm craving already." I said grinning. I wonder what happened to Creepy Stalker Guy. He hasn't texted me yet. Usually, he'll text me everyday. Dang it. I need clues to find him! It irritates me! It's just that... I think he knows the main reason why my parents died. Ugh.

Chescie calling...

Hey what's up Chescie?
(Can we come over?)
Why?
(I'm bored. I'm going to invite Kitzi. Let's ditch class tomorrow.)
Ah. That'll be fine if I enjoy detention.
(Argh! I've had a bad day because of this guy at school!)
Oohh. Hot cake. Sure come over. New gossip to spill, bitch.
(Tsk. Calling Kitzi now.)

"There's this bastard at school who kept following me around! It's annoying!" Chescie said. "Well... at least that's your only problem." I murmured. "Why? Got other dang issues in your life?" Kitzi said. I blushed immediately. "Damn. Maybe Justin had you already." Chescie chuckled. "Yeah... maybe."

It would be good enough if its Justin I'm thinking of, but it's that bastard little Jake the dog. What has gotten into me?

"Well darling, I don't think it's Justin. Shoot, Charlotte." Kitzi said. Wow. Did she just read my mind? "Well... It is about-" I was cut off by Chescie and Kitzi's chorus response. "About Jacob?"
I smiled shyly. "Wow. You guys are really my best friends huh? Is it that obvious?" I asked. Kitzi sighed, "Hon, we can see how close you are to each other. And I think he also likes you."    'Ah. I wish. But I think he's the same to every girl in our school!' I said to myself. "Uh-uh. He isn't like that to every girl! The only girl that he's totally close with, is you." Chescie said. "Am I thinking out loud?" I asked. They just nodded. "We know that you've been crushing on him since grade 6." Chescie said as she laid her head on my pillow. Yeah. That's true. I've had this huge crush on Jacob ever since. I just pretend that I don't know him so I can avoid falling for him like literally 'fall' for him. "I just don't want to admit it. I can't accept my  own feelings either." I honestly said. "And I feel like I've known him ever since. I was annoyed at him for some reason that I don't know. I'm confused. Gosh. Ever since we became close... I started to dream about weird but realistic things. I just..." I didn't noticed that I was crying already. Chescie and Kitzi hugged me which made my cry even more. I hate hugs but what can I do? I need them sometimes.

"Shhh... come now... don't cry Charlie. You know we are here for you. We know you're strong so... ugh. Hahaha don't cry Charlie! You're making us cry too!" Kitzi said while wiping her tears. "I'm sorry." I said as I laughed a bit. "Okay! Gosh! Let's sober up! Who wants to have a movie marathon? Let's go to your Theater Room, Charlie!" Chescie said as she stood up and trying to cheer me up. I just nodded at her and we headed straight towards the room.

"This are the perks of being in a blooming rich family." Chescie said as we entered the room. "Don't me Chescie. You also have your thater room." I said. "Yeah.. but your screen is five times bigger than ours!" She said. I just laughed.

We watched Romeo and Juliet (2010) and Kitzi was crying so hard when Romeo and Juliet died at the end. "Oh my. Is Shakespeare a bitter man? Why did he kill them?" Kitzi said while sobbing. "It's real life. Shakespeare wants the reader to realize that, life is not fair at times. Sometimes love is forbidden. There are many circumstances. A lot of people may get hurt. Love is full of surprises and sacrifices." I said. "Going through some stuff other than Jacob?" Chescie said, grinning. I blushed at the mention of his name and smiled at her shyly. "Gosh. Look at our little girl! How fast is she growing? Yesterday, she's just making a total fool of herself and now... look at her!" Kitzi said as we all laughed.

Did I change that much?
