Chapter Eight
I look over, and there he is again, with Autumn. All over eachother.
Back in the hallway, back to me crying. I really liked him...
My alarm clock goes off, but it doesn't matter. I was already up anyway. I
couldn't sleep -- it was horrible. I turn my phone off airplane mode, and here come the texts. So many of them saying about how much of a jerk he is, but the one that got me was the one from him. I sit up, and scroll my finger over so the message opens. It's him.
Hey. U kno were just going to
the dance and thats it right?
I type back this big long message, but just delete it. I don't answer.
I put my phone in my drawer, and go and get ready. I put on jeans and a nice sweater. Do my makeup up nice.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I get to school, and walk into homeroom. Not expecting it at
any circumstance, there he is. With Autumn. I set my stuff where I sit, and go
out to Natalies locker. She looks at me, and smiles "Well, you look nice today. Did you talk to him?" I sigh, "No. But he said pretty much that we were nothing and we were just going to the dance together... So, I got played." I look over, and there's Mikey. He just looks at me. I start to tear up, giggling a little. I giggle when I cry, it's one of the crazy and weird things I've always done. So Natalie says "Don't cry. He's coming." I smiled at her, and I mumbled "If only it was that easy. I'll see you at lunch."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I walk into the lunch room with my yogurt and gronola bar, I go to sit
at our table, and there's Mikey and Kaleb, along with Natalie. I look around, and
there's literally only 2 other tables full of people. Of course... He has to be at one of them. I rolled my eyes and sat down next to Natalie, but across from Mikey. I open up my yogurt, while Mikey seriously is just staring at me. I let it go for a few minutes. But he keeps looking. I tapped Natalies leg under the table, she notices too. I try not to look up. So I don't, but Natalie says to him "Hey Mikey? Where'd you get that hat?" He keeps looking at me, and just said "Some foreign place in North Carolina. Never find it again." Okay, this is starting to get creepy. I look up at him, with his eyes on me. Now Kaleb and Natalie are looking at us to see what happens. We make eye contact. Damn. I was trying not to. "Yes?" I say. He doesn't stop looking at me "Why'd you choose him?" I look at him, "Uhm. What?" He looks kind of angry, "You heard me. Why were you going to go with that kid, and not me? You know damn well who did the guppies thing with the well. You know damn well who keeps you warm when you're cold, and you also know who deserves you. So why would you go for him?" I look over at Natalie. Her and Kaleb are giving me the "Tell him why! Tell him why!" look, concentrated on me getting into it. I look back at Mikey, and before I can say anything he says a little louder "Why, again?" I sighed, and rested my head in my hands. This week is starting off terrible. Somethings pulling my hands away, and I look up, and there he is, "Hey, we can still be friends. Is this kid giving you problems?" I hear. UGH! "No... I'm fine. Just talking about something important." I mumbled, he looked at me blankly. Seriously? How could I not see what an idiot this kid was? "Uhm. I think Autumns staring you down. Better get to her." I rolled my eyes, and he left.
By now, all three of them are looking at me, waiting for me to break down
crying, and to confess my love to Mikey. "Call me later, this day is just getting worse. I'm ditching" I say to Natalie, and leave.

Chapter Seven
The guppies, one by one are talking to me. "Charlotte, go with me.
No Charlotte, go with me." There someone is, a tall male figure, he pulls me into his arms and whispers in my ear "No. Go with me."
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
I wake up to my alarm clock going off. It's 5:40 this time and
Monday. I barely got any sleep last night. I just have to know who did the whole fountain thing. I log onto Facebook quick, still laying in bed.
"Autumn Pollilo has gone from 'In a Relationship' to 'Single"
Then I scroll down some more... Her status:
I like u so much,
y cant i have u again? </3
I giggle. She needs some spelling lessons... But obviously this is
about him. Some people really need to get over themselves. Girl, I got the cutie this time. Get over it. I smile at my thoughts, and get up to get ready.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
So, today's the day I hopefully find out who did the
fountain. I open my locker to get my books out. Only somethings not right.
I look around, trying to figure out what it is. Natalie comes up behind me "Hey, why are your books on the top shelf, and not the bottom? You're like... a mad freak about that." That's what it is. "I have no idea." She giggles, "So, I'm sorry about my little freak out the other day. Do you want to stay and help decorate for the Winter Formal?" I put my bag in, and grab my binders. "Sure. I can do that." She giggles and softly says, "Yeah, and I may have gotten your crush to help too..." I look at her. There's no way she's going to let Autumn take him back. "Haha. Oh. Wow. Thanks." She scurries off with Kaleb.
Period 1, then 4, then 7... Ugh. Does this day end.
Period 9. Bell rings.
I hurry to Natalie's locker, only to see Mikey waiting too. I smiled
and playfully said, "What're you doing here?" He blushed, leaning against the locker. "I'm waiting for Kaleb. I figured this would be the place to be to meet him. I guess I have to help with the Winter formal." I checked my agenda for her combination, and opened up her locker. "Oh. Wow. Me too. Oh. That reminds me, I have your hoodie." He chuckles, "I know, and you wore it while on video with that dude too." I giggled a little, "I didn't do it on purpose! He wanted to Skype, so I grabbed the nearest thing I could." He smiled, "Sure, sure." I shiver, and look all around her locker for some kind of jacket.
He comes up behind me, startling me. "Hey hottie." I bite my bottom
lip, and look at Mikey. "Hey..." Mikey and him talk a little bit, small talk, but fake talk. I continue to look for a sweatshirt. "What're you looking for?" He wraps his arms around my waist. This is awkward... "Just a sweatshirt." He smiles. "I'd offer mine. But I'll need one myself." I roll my eyes and pull away. "Okay, thanks anyways." I put my books in her locker. He smiles at me and says "I'll be right back." He leaves. I close the locker, and as soon as he walks away, Mikey groans and goes "Don't go to the dance with him. Come on. Just go with some friends." I roll my eyes, there's Natalie and Kaleb, hand in hand, giggling. I look over at Mikey "They're so cute together." He groaned again, took his bag, and walked away to be with Kaleb. I waited for Natalie. We walked to the gym together.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
2:45. 3:10. 3:45. 4:37. 5:00.
Where is he?
I'm looking all over for him at this point, well, trying to be nonchalant
about it. Finally, in an upset-like voice, Natalie goes "What the hell are you looking for?" I snapped back "Uhm. You said he would be here..." She stopped painting for a moment, and got up. "Yeah. He was going to be here... I saw him on his way here, and he told her he was coming here... But then she took his hand and said 'If you want your hat back, you best come with me.' and took his hat off of his head... Then she pulled him away. I didn't get to see where they went... But I thought Mikey told you. So I wasn't going to say anything." I looked at her blankly "Whoa. What? Who'd he go with? Who's she? You're joking." She looked at me with sympathy, "No... I'm not. Autumn. He went with Autumn. He had every intention on coming here, but then he wanted his hat back, and she pulled him with her." I feel sick to my stomach. "I'm going to get a drink or something..." and with that I went out into the hallway. She followed after me, and she tries giving me this small talk. Trying to make things okay. Or, atleast feel it. Then I look over, and there they are. Autumn with him. She's all giggly, and they go to his locker. He doesn't even notice me standing here about to cry my eyes out. Kat comes out from the gymnasium, she knows him and I were kind of a thing. She sees me about to cry, then sees them two together. Kat has a dark olive color, brown eyes, and a pretty face. She has a very kind heart, loves everybody. But when she has a chance to mess up things for Autumn, or even try to. She goes for it. See, when this boy first moved here, his name is Taylor, she liked him, a lot. They're the cutest for eachother, but then Autumn snapped him away from her. Kat got Taylor back. They've been together for years now. But Autumn was supposed to be Kat's friend. So, if and when she gets the chance. She goes for it. Anyway, she saw them two together. She looks back at me, and she goes after them, I'm not sure what she says, but Autumn looks pretty mad, and he looks kind of surprised when he sees me there. I rolled my eyes and walked away, Natalie with me. By now, I'm crying my eyes out. We go back to the gym, trying to calm down. Mikey looks at me, but he doesnt say a word. Just looks away...
The guppies, one by one are talking to me. "Charlotte, go with me.

Chapter six
On one arm, there he is. Pulling on me. But behind him
is black… But on the other arm, whoa. Who’s that? Mikey. Mikey’s pulling on the other arm. But behind him – it’s light pink and blue.
I look up, and there’s Natasha. Standing there staring at me
saying “Charlotte, what’re we going to do today?” I’m still half asleep. “What do you mean? I have to go look for a dress buddy. You and Nash are going to spend some time with Mom today.” She looks at me like I’m crazy “No. Mommy said she had to work today. She told me to come and ask what we were doing today before she left.” I jump up, and run upstairs. Only to see my Mom in her scrubs, getting ready for work. I look at her, “Mom. Are you freakin’ kidding me?” She knew I was upset, and in a calming voice she said “I’m sorry sweetie, just for today. You won’t have to help for rest of the month. I promise. What’re you guys going to do today?” She grabs her wallet, as to pull out money. I look at her blankly, “Uhm. I’m going dress shopping. I don’t know what you plan on doing with your kids. That you had.” She hands me 200 dollars. Where’s she getting all this money from?! She looks back up at me “Please, Charlotte. Watch them for me. They love you, you don’t know what it’s like to be a single Mom. I’m trying here. I’m getting a nice pay, but with that nice pay comes bad hours.” Ugh. She sets the money down, and puts her coat on. “Okay. Whatever. But I’m still going dress shopping.” She smiled in relief, “Okay, whatever. Thank you.” She leaves.
I sit on the couch, and Natasha runs out to me. “So we get to go help you
look all pretty?” I giggle at her big smile, she’s tickled pink. “Yes you do.” She giggles, and goes back to watching Doc McStuffins. I get up, and go take a shower quick. I put on my jeans and light pink shirt. Do my hair, and makeup. I come out, and there’s Natasha, wearing leapord leggings, polka dotted tie, and a plaid shirt. I giggle, and she says “Char, does this look nice? Help me please.” I go into her room, and help her pick out an appropriate outfit, and I find Nash one too.
Ring ring ring. The house phone goes, off. I answer it,
"Hello?"
"Hi. Is Charlotte there?"
"This is her."
"Go to Lloyd Park at noon."
"Uhm.. May I ask who's calling?"
"Please just do so."
and they hung up. I look at the clock, it's 10:45.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I get to the park, Natasha holding one hand, Nash holding the other.
I check the time 11:57. I look around. Nobody. Back at the time, 12:00. I decide to walk to the other side, by the water fountain. Of course the twins want to make a wish, so we go up to it. Nash goes "Look Char! Someones trying to tell us something!" I look down into the water, and spelled out with coins, it says "Will you go to the dance with me?" With floating goldfish. I smile, and can tell I'm totally blushing. That's strange. He already asked me... Why would he ask again? I look around, for somebody, anybody. Alls I see is an older man with a beard sitting on a bench reading the paper. I come over to him. "Excuse me, Sir, Do you know who did this?" He smiled, "Yes, that was my grandon. He said it was for a mighty beautiful lady. I guess he was serious." I blushed, "Thank you. Who's your grandson again?" He had rosey cheeks, and said "Ah. Now that's a secret I'm not to give out. But, he has quite the crush on you." I smile and go back to the fountain, I take a picture of it and send it to Natalie. Then I get the twins, and we head back home. I have no idea what to do.
I can't believe this, I thought things like this only happened in stuff
like books and movies. No way. I feel bad because Natasha was pretty excited to go to the mall, but this is no time for that. I have to figure out who did it. Was it that James kid who has a creepy obsession with me? Maybe it was him. Or could it be Mikey? I thought Natalie said he was going to be done if I didn't have the same feelings. Ugh! I'm so confused...
Chapter five
"Charlotte, you look so beautiful today." He pulled me in and kissed
me -- whoa. No. Thats not him. That's... Mikey. What the--?
"Charlotte. Charlotte! Does this one look good on me?" I looked up, and there
was Natalie. She was wearing a lavender strapless dress. It looked amazing with her brown eyes. I picked out some black wedges to go with it. She tried them on with the dress. "Girl, Kaleb won't be able to control himself with you in that!" She smiled and went back into the changing room. "Hey good lookin'!" I turn around, and there he is. I smiled. "Oh. Hey!" I say. We talk for a minute about the new James Blunt song, and then Natalie comes out. She smiles at me and says "Hey. I'm gonna check out, but I gotta get going. Kaleb and I have that date for tonight. Don't forget; tomorrow night we're finding you a dress! I'll call you after the date -- Bye Charlotte!" Then she leaves... I look up at him, and there he is, smiling at me. He says "So I take it as you're going to the Winter Formal. Huh?" I blushed and said "Yeah. I mean, I guess. This being the last year and everything." He looked at me, "Ah. I see... Autumn was never into stuff like that. But I always have. Maybe we can go together?" I blushed and said, "Yeah... Maybe we can." My phone goes off, it's my mom:
"Hey. Gotta work until 11. Can you pick Natasha
and Nash up from school? There's a 50 on the counter for
dinner, and another 50 for you. Thank you so much!"
I look up at him. "Bummer! My parents just asked if I could watch the twins.
I guess I have to go. I'll catch you later." I smile, and leave.
I drive to the Elementary school, and go over to the after-school program at
the playground. I go to check out the twins -- and I look up and there's Mikey. "Hey! What're you doing here?" I say, and he looks over and says "Oh. Hey. Not much. Picking up my baby sister. You?" I took the twins bags, "Same! But two of them. I'm the babysitter tonight." He chuckled like it was some kind of joke, and said "They seem to be getting along pretty good..." I look out, and there the three of them were, playing tag. "Well, I guess so!" I say He's too shy to ask... I know he is. So I add "Maybe their fun doesn't need to end." and he says "Mall bounceyhouse?" I blush, "Sounds awesome to me!"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I put the twins to sleep, and call up Natalie. She called me literally seven
times, I set my phone on the dresser on speaker, and take my clothes off. "Hey girl!" I say, she says "Hey." I open up my dresser and put a plain loose tshirt with nothing else on. "What's wrong?" I say concerned. "Look Charlotte, either you like Mikey, or you like this other kid. I heard about tonight, and Mikey is honestly growing feelings for you. While this other boy had you ditch your friends for him. Don't get involved. Autumn effed him up bad." I'm speechless... Did Natalie honestly just say that? She's always been supportive. This is weird. "Whoa. We just took our siblings so they could play, totally innocent. I like this other boy. I mean, Mikeys awesome and everything. But no... I'm not into drugs." I hear her giggle. Not the good giggle, the "you're pathetic" giggle. Then she says "Are you freaking kidding me right now? Mikeys a good guy. He doesn't do drugs anymore. Whatever. Alls I'm saying, is either go with Mikey, or drop him. Don't go for both guys. I'm totally supportive of whoever you choose. But stop this nonsense..." I roll my eyes "Okay, hey, Natalie? I have to go, Natashas crying. I'll talk to you later! Bye!"
I go over to my computer, and go onto Skype. He asks me to video chat. Shoot! I don't have a bra or anything on but the shirt! I click accept and quickly put on a hoodie I found. It got to the cam, and there he is, looking at me. He says "Hey hottness." I shake my head, and he continues "What're you wearing? What's that, another guys hoodie?" I look down, shoot. I accidently put on Mikeys hoodie that I meant to take back to him. But damn, does it smell good. I smile, "Oh shush. You're just jealous!" He smiles and says "Yeah. I am." I giggle, and we continue to talk while I log onto facebook, and see "Mikey MacKay has tagged you in a photo." I click on it, and it brings me to a photo of him, me, and our little siblings. It's labeled:
Awesome day. Thanks, Char :-)
I start to blush, really bad. I can even feel it. Then I click on comments. He commented:
Charlotte, you look hot like always.
Mikey, you don't. the hoodie looks better on her. i see it right now.
then Mikey commented back:
Charlotte, you look beautiful. hot is an over-rated word.
Then he deleted it quick.... Sigh.
"Charlotte, you look so beautiful today." He pulled me in and kissed
me -- whoa. No. Thats not him. That's... Mikey. What the--?
"Charlotte. Charlotte! Does this one look good on me?" I looked up, and there
was Natalie. She was wearing a lavender strapless dress. It looked amazing with her brown eyes. I picked out some black wedges to go with it. She tried them on with the dress. "Girl, Kaleb won't be able to control himself with you in that!" She smiled and went back into the changing room. "Hey good lookin'!" I turn around, and there he is. I smiled. "Oh. Hey!" I say.

dinner, and another 50 for you. Thank you so much!"
I look up at him. "Bummer! My parents just asked if I could watch the twins.
I guess I have to go. I'll catch you later." I smile, and leave.
I drive to the Elementary school, and go over to the after-school program at
the playground. I go to check out the twins -- and I look up and there's Mikey. "Hey! What're you doing here?" I say, and he looks over and says "Oh. Hey. Not much. Picking up my baby sister. You?" I took the twins bags, "Same! But two of them. I'm the babysitter tonight." He chuckled like it was some kind of joke, and said "They seem to be getting along pretty good..." I look out, and there the three of them were, playing tag. "Well, I guess so!" I say He's too shy to ask... I know he is. So I add "Maybe their fun doesn't need to end." and he says "Mall bounceyhouse?" I blush, "Sounds awesome to me!"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I put the twins to sleep, and call up Natalie. She called me literally seven
times, I set my phone on the dresser on speaker, and take my clothes off. "Hey girl!" I say, she says "Hey." I open up my dresser and put a plain loose tshirt with nothing else on. "What's wrong?" I say concerned. "Look Charlotte, either you like Mikey, or you like this other kid. I heard about tonight, and Mikey is honestly growing feelings for you. While this other boy had you ditch your friends for him. Don't get involved. Autumn effed him up bad." I'm speechless... Did Natalie honestly just say that? She's always been supportive. This is weird. "Whoa. We just took our siblings so they could play, totally innocent. I like this other boy. I mean, Mikeys awesome and everything. But no... I'm not into drugs." I hear her giggle. Not the good giggle, the "you're pathetic" giggle. Then she says "Are you freaking kidding me right now? Mikeys a good guy. He doesn't do drugs anymore. Whatever. Alls I'm saying, is either go with Mikey, or drop him. Don't go for both guys. I'm totally supportive of whoever you choose. But stop this nonsense..." I roll my eyes "Okay, hey, Natalie? I have to go, Natashas crying. I'll talk to you later! Bye!"
I go over to my computer, and go onto Skype. He asks me to video chat. Shoot! I don't have a bra or anything on but the shirt! I click accept and quickly put on a hoodie I found. It got to the cam, and there he is, looking at me. He says "Hey hottness." I shake my head, and he continues "What're you wearing? What's that, another guys hoodie?" I look down, shoot. I accidently put on Mikeys hoodie that I meant to take back to him. But damn, does it smell good. I smile, "Oh shush. You're just jealous!" He smiles and says "Yeah. I am." I giggle, and we continue to talk while I log onto facebook, and see "Mikey MacKay has tagged you in a photo." I click on it, and it brings me to a photo of him, me, and our little siblings. It's labeled:
Awesome day. Thanks, Char :-)
I start to blush, really bad. I can even feel it. Then I click on comments. He commented:
Charlotte, you look hot like always.
Mikey, you don't. the hoodie looks better on her. i see it right now.
then Mikey commented back:
Charlotte, you look beautiful. hot is an over-rated word.
Then he deleted it quick.... Sigh.
Chapter one
I love him. Why can't he just understand? He's standing there, so close to kiss. I can almost feel his breath against my neck, unbuttoning my sweater. Whispering "Are you sure this is what you want? I love you Charlotte." So close, so real.
The alarm goes off
with loud horns. It's 6 in the morning, and I'm laying in
bed
wishing my dreams could all just be reality. Every one of them. Whether they were good or bad, because if they really would've happened. I would atleast have him. Right? I reassure myself it was just a dream by checking Facebook, and looking at his profile picture of him with his arms wrapped around her from behind, and her doing the goofy lip thing. She could care less, she doesn't like him. He just "hits the spot", she said so herself. Besides, why would he like me? A total 'geek' with brown hair and blonde highlights, blue eyes, and the type of girl he'd make fun of -- not date. I look again, her blonde hair, her big lips, her nipples totally showing through her shirt. Ugh! I sigh and update my status to "Ugh. Sisters crying, Pandora's down, and no more bacon! WTF?!" My phone goes off, "Facebook Notification: James Harrison has liked your status." Of course James did. He's only been totally obsessed with me since 8th grade!
I get to school, and there's Natalie, waiting at my locker, smiling. Whoa. This
is the happiest I've seen her since her break up with Gabriel, who was a total joke anyway. He stayed with her for 2 and a half years, since she was 14, and then decided to break up with her the day after she lost her virginity to him. Oh, parden me, it was 26 hours if you ask him. Not 24. I mean, who does that?! Either way, this is the happiest I've ever seen her. So I put on a smile and say "What's going on!? I haven't seen this kind of smile on your face since you got a new laptop!" She keeps smiling, but this time her smile gets really big. Kind of like a half moon, and she tries to say quietly "I got into Stanford with a full scholarship!", it totally came out way louder then she tried to make it. But wow, this is big! I all of a sudden get really happy and hug her, and blurt out "Icecream on me! Lunch time!" she smiles, and says "That's the other thing, Kaleb wants me to go to lunch with him at Starbucks!" Kaleb's the boy that any girl would want to be with, and that most girls would do anything to get a text from him. "Wow girl! This is huge! I wish I were --" He begins to come over here, "Shh! He doesn't know about Stanford!" She says blushing. I smile, and say "My house. 4 o'clock. No later." and then I leave. Wow. That's all that's in my head. My best friend has the boy every girl wants, taking her out on a date! Not to mention, she just got into one of the top colleges!
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th! FINALLY! Lunch time's here! I didn't
think it was ever going to come! I go to my locker, and get my bag. I have an hour of pure freedom. Freedom my parents would NEVER give me. I close my locker, look up, and there he is. He. Him. The one whose facebook I was just stalking less then 8 hours ago. I smile up at him. Wow. I guess being 5'3 really does make you feel short when you're not with your other friends who are your height. He smiles, and says "Hey, do you know a good place to go to eat around here? I need to take my girl somewhere nice, and all the other girls keep naming off lame places." He ruffles his hair, I'm literally melting inside, and look him straight in the eye, "What's the special occasion?" He doesn't reply for a few seconds but it seems like eternity,and eventually says, sounding angry "You know what? Nevermind. I don't even know why I'd want to take advice from a girl who's the complete opposite of her anyway." I just roll my eyes and re-adjust my shoulder strap. Then he says "But maybe that's good..." He smiles. Is he just kidding? Or is he being serious?
