Confessions of a Bestfriend

Chapter 7 Dumbfounded

Chapter 7

The whole weekend I couldnt get hold of myself. I was wondering what had happened to Ericka and Zeke's date. What if Zeke liked her? What if Ericka manipulated him into liking her? The way she did to the other guys. My mind was bombarded with questions. Wait a second, am I jealous?

I guess, I am.

I needed to know. I tried stalking them on facebook and twitter to know their whereabouts. I checked Zeke's account but the latest tweet was last friday.

@zekeDee: Have a movie date tomorrow. Off to bed.

He didnt mention who he's with and where they're going. Kind of frustrating. So, I went for Ericka's tweets.

@missErickaTaylor: Date with @zekeDee was fun. nyt tweepz. xoxoxo

@missErickaTaylor: #BreakingDawnPart2 was epic. Having coffee with @zekeDee -Starbucks

@missErickaTaylor: Movie date with @zekeDee #nowWatching #BreakingDawnPart2 -Cinema3

So the date really happened. I felt jealousy all over my body. I cried to sleep.

Ericka again picked me up in the morning to school. What bothered me was I had to hear every detail of their date the whole ride.

"I had fun. Breaking Dawn was epic you should watch it. But what thrilled me the most was being with him. We kissed." she narrated. What? They kissed? I felt my hands formed into fists. My anger welling up inside me.

"You okay? You seem like your about to burst?" she noticed. I quickly made an excuse.

"My stomach hurts. " I said while faking a grimace on my face.

"I could take you back home, if you want?" she offered.

"No, I can handle it. This will pass." I lied.

When we arrived at school Zeke was there infront of his locker.

"Zeke! Lets have lunch later. Kay?" Ericka called out, then immediately grabbed Zeke's arm. He was kind of surprised by her move that he stuttered.

"H-hey...okay see ya at lunch." Then he turned to me but I quickly excused myself.

The whole day went by and I didnt want to spend lunch with Ericka and Zeke.

I headed to the library to get away from the cafeteria but Ericka spotted me and pulled my hand. "Where are you going? We're having lunch. C'mon." she snapped at me.

Zeke finally joined us then Ericka also called in her other friends, Claire & Kate. They're also cheerleaders. I did not get along well with them since they didnt like me from the start. I only tolerate them because of Ericka but when she's gone they hate me.

"Girls, I want you to meet Zeke Dylan. Perhaps you've already seen him in some of your class." she introduced Zeke to them. They eyed him intently as if he's one piece of meat. Zeke became conscious of their stares.

"Ahum! He's with me." Ericka pointed it out.

"So the two of you are dating?" Claire asked Zeke. "Actually we've just start-" Zeke answered but was interrupted by Ericka.

"Yes. We are!" Everyone seemed to be watching us and after Ericka's statement, whispers filled the room.

"Wow. Tyler knows this?" Kate asked.

"Forget Tyler. Im over him." Ericka implied. "Thanks to Aria I met Zeke." she added.

I choked the instant she said it. A piece of burger flew out of my mouth. Claire and Kate laughed so loud that everyone turned to me. I quickly wiped my mouth and ducked my head.
