Need A Stack

Chapter 4: Need A Stack!

I'd rather be a comma than a fullstop - Chris Martin.

"Bitch guess what!!!" I was there relaxed on the couch trying to fix my attention on this book 'The Girl in Black ' by heartlessthoughts. I really liked Nova's attitude and thoughts and at least this made me get off the real world and I stopped thinking about what kind of a mess I really am. The utter of those words got me back to my state and I vigorously turned to the door side just to see Juliet standing there with her staffed bags. She wore the brightest smile I came to realize I won't be able to see again. Her eyes glittered with happiness and beauty and I could tell she really ached for the same reaction from me.... tragic!. I tried to fake it to my best but no...I'm not good at that..

She noticed my uncertain behavior and a frown built on her face so fast. She knew something was wrong. Amanda,as anyone else knew her,,,was the most cheerful creature who wore a cute smile even through her hardest times. But there I am. Scattered in my own thoughts. Having no friend to tell about what I'm feeling. Juliet is there craving for my craziest hug I used to give her... Looking deep into my eyes in case she could read the strange look I wore for the first time in her presence.

"Hey, Amanda... what's wrong? Has anyone hurt you so bad that you can't even welcome your bestie?!"..did she just say bestie...was I really one..did I even deserve such a cute name..all I need right now is to move out of this country and elope through the streets of some big island out there where noone could find me.."Juliet, I'm such a bad friend. Please forgive me!"...this words came out so unclear for not  even me who said them could trace them...but I was surprised she heard me so well..."No don't say that...come on what happened while I was away..."

She was on a vacation with her family which lasted for a week now...she left the same day I told Alicia about "them"...the same day I screwed up. A whole week without hearing from Alicia leave alone Chris..all messages went unread..my mails and calls all ignored..I tried...I apologized all I could but maybe I never deserved it. Students around school could look at me as if I were some psychopath trying to force myself into this human being lifes. They all blamed me for Alicia's disappearance...but surely where did she go!

"I framed you with Chris." .....??!.....I knew that was the best way I could say it....there was no need to beat around the bush making up stories and explanation and for a fact I didn't expect her to forgive me either... "Yeah?you did? And how did it all go? Did Alicia believe you?" How was I supposed to answer all this in a row?? I mean come on Juliet! Take me slow! I messed up and I'm so done being sorry and bitch you can get the hell out of my apartment and go scream your 'bitch guess what!!' phrases on someone else's door! For all I care!..I was so tired of feeling sorry for myself and telling the same story for a seven days now... nothing really matters..I thought to myself... I successfully messed my friendship with Alicia and Chris and with Alicia it has been so hard to focus in class where I noticed she never came to any of them...where could she be??...I wondered...and how about Chris...why is no one telling me anything?..

"Amanda.?..."
Wow!so she really needs me to answer her...well! I'll tell her everything then...take it or leave it..this time I'm not building up my own story...

Juliet Lola was dark skinned aged in Bourbon Street from the royal family in France. She revealed what the Lola's would want their family members to be and her wears and style really embraced the royalty. She was 20 and her family always came first before any other person...her fleshy cheeks revealed her love for junks and sugary foods. Her kissable lips were shaped like Dua Lupe's and her hair was long enough to clap on her butt as she strolled around. She preferred it hanging on her back than rolling it with a hairband...she knew how lovely she looked when she catwalked through the pavements going for her classes in the business department. She always wanted to be a serious business mogul like her daddy who she used to tell us that he owned more than twenty plazas in France. Though they were not citizens of France by birth,but they lived there their whole life and didn't seem to move to a new environment.

I looked straight into her eyes as I narrated every bit of the story. My eyes were dry with no shade of tears and I felt kinda proud getting to tell it all to someone who was willing to listen. I even told her about the scene it all created from which she chuckled lightly before demanding for more. Why is she not giving me that cold response I'm waiting for? I thought all through as I said it all making sure not even a single bit is left. We were still standing at the door as I spoke...I knew she wouldn't wish to enter a house of such a blabber like me..and the actual reaction I expected was for her to turn and leave with no word.. but instead,she seemed to enjoy my story..as if I'd created it and she wasn't featured.

However,her response gave me the urge to tell it out. Reveal what has been burning me through this days I've been managing alone..with eyes all over glued to me. I walked through the pavements with little effort. Not like before where I could say hi to everyone inclusive of those I didn't know. I was always the first to get to class and the last to leave.. I couldn't stand their eyes on me. Not anymore.. and since today is a weekend. I felt relieved and light because I could spend my whole time in my house getting my attention on novels and movies. I really had no idea Juliet was coming today and regarding her way in,she seemed to have it all planned to get me as a surprise.

"I heard it all Amanda..this is Tripston. You wouldn't expect having such a big mess as some little secret for a whole week!" Juliet said this with a funny accent I wasn't sure if she was saying the truth. But of course she is...the Juliet I know never lies! Who told her thou?! I said I hate this school!!

"I only asked you cause I needed to hear your version of the story...and don't ask me who told me cause I wouldn't answer. I don't want more drama..besides you've had enough I bet. I can't lie the first time I heard about it...I was disturbed and angry at you for framing me up with someone's boyfriend! I mean..by now you should be knowing that I'm dating Harriet..the girl from Villa estate. Yeah?you do right...and Alicia was so foolish to believe your flat lie. She knows I'm not into men. Why did she believe that thou?" She said this out laughing so hard while moving her luggage to my house and staffing them at the corner..I was there just looking at her in disbelief..she really thought this through. For sure she had nothing to get mad at. After a it was all a lie...why would she believe it?

I really pittied Juliet...her being a homo,,she was the craziest and unsettled one I've ever met...a month hasn't passed in Tripston but she has already dated more than five girls now..who really got into her and crying so badly when she left them...she never seemed to care about that..now she's with Harriet I can't tell for how long they'll last forever...whatever ain't my business thou..

Some happiness was restored when I came to find out that Juliet wasn't mad at me...I now really needed to get my life in a big plan...stop minding people's lives and get mine in order.
Yeah at least I could now make decisions..

We stayed through the night making stories and laughing out loud as if we could never get this life again. Juliet told me more about her vacation and I told her more about my scary adventure in school and everything now seemed to be funny. We really enjoyed the time we got to see each other and I'm happy I could laugh again..I hope it all lasts.
