Truth Hurts

Chapter 9

"Omg puppy! You brought me a kitten!," I exclaimed in awe as I glance at the kitten.

"Kitty! You brought me a puppy? Damn your making me fall in love with you already," Hunter said smiling at me while petting the puppy

I blushed at that comment. Fall in love?! Oh my cheese! He's in love with me? I lick my bottom lips, thinking. Does that mean we can be officials couple already? Your thinking way too far ahead. My conscience said. No I'm not, he said he's in love with me. And you think he meant it that way? He meant it the other way! The way where he's too happy that he said that. I scowl thinking that my conscience might be right. I sighed.

"Kitty? Do you not like the kitten?" Hunter asked with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"No! I mean yes! I like it. In fact, I love it alot," I replied, smiling as I pet the ears of the cat.

"Then why did you sighed?" Hunter questions.

"It was a happy sighed, its just that I remember the memories of us saying we could buy a kitten and a puppy when we grew up," I said a little too cheery. I'm such a good liar.

"Yeah, and remember when you fell off the playground when you were looking at a kitten?" He chuckles, shooking his head.

I laughed along with him. I'm so glad that we are still best friends until now. I don't know what I'll do without him. You'll probably die without him anyways. I mean you can't even stop thinking about him ever since you had a crush on him. My conscience said. I can't help but think that my conscience is right. I probably die without him. But, I don't even have a crush on him. Wait, do I? These questions kept swirling through my head but I knew that me and Hunter can never be a thing. We promised each other that we are going to be just friends.

My chest tighten at the words 'just friends'. I seriously need a special medical treatment where they would hit my head every time I think I like Hunter for more than a friend.

"Let's go home kids," my dad said with a small smile playing on his lips.

I was about to follow my dad when Hunter interrupt.

"Actually, I was thinking about taking my new dog for a walk," He said looking at the dog that is wagging it's tail and looking excited.

"Can I follow?" I asked mom who is looking at her necklace dad gave her in awe.

"Of course but what about your pet?" My mom says eyeing the kitten warily.

My mom isn't a fan of cats or its kittens which is why I am not allowed to have it when I was young.

"Urm..." I look at Kelty the kitten and it was sleeping peacefully obviously not in the mood to go anywhere but sleep.

"Can u guys keep it in the house for me?" I said in the sweetest voice possible.

My mom sighed and nod. I fist bump the air and did a little weird dance and people around us look at me like I'm crazy. They sure don't mind their own business. I thought, rolling my eyes. I'm lucky I wasn't in school or the students who saw might just record me and upload it on the school website with a caption saying 'Crazy Shy Girl'.

"Let's go Kitty," Hunter said.

I happily followed him from behind and waving 'goodbye' to my parents.

We walked side by side with our arm's barely touching each other. Hunty the dog was wagging its tail happy that we had took it for a walk. There was a silence that was way too quiet between us but also quite comfortable.

"So, let's play 20 questions yeah?" Hunter said breaking the silence.

"But we already know each other already," I said

"But I'm pretty sure that there must be something you want to ask me because I sure do," he said with a grin.

"Fine," I sighed as he was right. I do want to ask him something.

"Who do you have in mind all the time?" He asks, smirking.

I raised an eyebrow at him. Seriously? What kind of stupid question is that? He obviously knew the answer. I took my time pretending to think, I look up to the sky and put my index finger at my chin and made 'hmm' sound. Hunter rolled his eyes at my dramatic thinking.

"Obviously you," I finally answered, making Hunter grin wider. I suddenly blushed and look away. I mentally scolded myself for blushing. I have been blushing way too much lately thanks to Hunter.

"My turn," I stated. "Why do you go around fucking girls?" I bluntly asked.

Hunter adverted his eyes to Hunty who was leading to a park I've never been to before. He finally look at me and said,

"Because those bitches are easy," He casually said. I flinch at his choice of words. He notice and added,"But I don't do it anymore, I'm with Ashely remember?"

My mouth went agape. He is with Ashely this whole time? I thought they had broke up?

"Ashely and I never broke up. My mom was a fond of her and she too, like my mom. They grew closer and my mom plead me to not break up with her and that she could see it in her eyes that we were meant to be. I can't just say no because my mom is all I have and I don't want to disappoint her," He answered my thoughts for me.

My stomach clench at the thought of them getting married and start a family. I wish Mrs Stone, Hunters mother, knew how much of a slut she was. There was an awkward silence between us. I glance at Hunter and he looked sad and he looked like he doesn't like the idea of Ashely and him. I reach out and squeeze his shoulder.

He looked up and smiled knowing that I am going to be there for him no matter what. Like going to his wedding and looking at him hand in hand with Ashley and him kissing her in front of you. My conscience rudely remark. She doesn't shut up doesn't she?

"It's going to rain," Hunter stated breaking the silence.

I look up and saw the grey and gloomy clouds. Just like my mood.I thought.

"Let's go take a cab home before it starts to rain heavily," I suggested.

Hunter nodded and scoop Hunty up walking to the nearest place that has cabs. I followed behind him in silence.
