Cavite Day… I only got 1 space left waiting to be signed in my clearance form tomorrow (I'm so good). I disclaim… I just thought I would give them another side of their love story instead of what we usually see on TV…
XOXOXOXOXO
Amy Dumas and Adam Copeland had been friends since they were kids. Their moms are best friends. They never miss any special occasion in each other's life. Amy and Adam went to kindergarten, elementary, junior high and currently in high school together.
They went through everything together. When Adam won't get something about their lesson in school, Amy would teach him. Whenever Adam would court a girl, Amy would give her the best advice she could give. When someone would court Amy, Adam would give him a hard time. They were practically looking out for each other. They were more of brothers and sisters.
One day, a guy named Matt started to go out with Amy – with Adam's consent of course. They started dating which left Adam behind the winds. From that moment on, Adam would just go to the Coffee Place in his own. It was quite unusual to him since it was where they go every other afternoon. He would always order café au lait while Amy would order a cappuccino. Those afternoons were his loneliest.
"Wanna go to the Coffee Place?" Amy offered, standing beside Adam's locker.
"I do but are you free?" Adam hesitated. He placed his History book in his bag as we was planning on doing his project early – something that he doesn't normally do.
"I am," Amy looked down. "I broke up with Matt."
"Oh," Adam sighed, more of a relief. He thought that now, they would be able to spend some time together. He has to admit, he missed Amy. "Why? He seemed like a nice guy. Did he do something to you?"
Amy laughed. "No, big brother," she said. "He didn't do anything to me. He's more of the loser though because I broke up with him. I realized that he's not my kind of guy."
"Good to hear that," Adam said unconsciously.
Amy was shocked. "What's good to hear?" she asked.
That was when Adam realized what he just said. In his mind, it was good to hear that Matt's not Amy's ideal guy but he blurted out something different. "It was good to hear that he didn't do anything terrible to you," he lied.
"What's your idea of terrible?" Amy asked.
Adam thought for a while. "Cheating?" he replied.
"He would never cheat on me," Amy glared on Adam. "Not like you."
"Hey!" Adam yelled as Amy ran towards his car. "I never cheated on girls."
He caught up on her. "I know," she agreed. "That's why I need to meet your twin now so that I can have a perfect boyfriend."
Hearing those words made Adam happy. He didn't think that Amy thought of him as a perfect boyfriend.
"I never understand those girls who dumped you," Amy said. "They should be lucky my big brother's asking them out. You're perfect for girls."
"Can we not talk about girls now?" Adam said as he started the car. He doesn't like talking whenever he's driving. He would rather listen to the radio.
Amy turned the radio on and "To Be Loved" by Papa Roach was playing. They both loved the song and sang with it until the song ended. After the song, they both looked at each other and didn't say anything. There was an uncomfortable silence except for the song playing. They arrived at the Coffee Place and sat in a table.
"I've never been here since," Amy thought for a while, "like four months."
A waiter came and took their orders. As usual, Amy ordered cappuccino and Adam ordered café au lait.
"You never bought Matt here?" Adam asked.
"He never bought me here," Amy explained. "He would bring me to Starbucks or something if we want coffee."
"Rich kids," Adam mumbled.
Amy sighed, "Tell me about it." She thought for a while. "Wait, Matt's not that rich."
"How should I know?" Adam asked.
The waiter came with their orders.
"So what have you been doing?" Amy asked. "I mean, you and I haven't been together for some time since I started dating Matt."
"Nah," Adam said. "Nothing whatsoever important. Just school and hockey – ice hockey."
Amy took a sip from her cappuccino when a guy came in. He was tall, almost bald and was wearing a red shirt with black pants. Adam saw him and let out a small laugh.
"He looks like he just came from hell," he joked.
"Shut up, Adam," Amy said. "That's Glen Jacobs and I know him from my Gym class. He's a good guy so stop laughing at him."
"Whatever you say Ames," Adam said, finishing his café au lait. "We better get going. I still got to do my History project."
"Well it makes me happy that you now have the initiative to do your work early and not wait for me to help you do it," Amy said proudly.
As they walk out of the Coffee Place, Adam noticed that Glen was glaring at Amy. Amy didn't notice anything at all and Adam decided not to say anything to her.
The ride towards Amy's house was the usual the-only-thing-I-can-hear-is-the-radio type. They arrived at her empty house. Adam's not at all surprised. His parents are also busy for work.
"Want something to eat?" Amy offered.
Adam stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen with Amy who was looking in the refrigerator. "What do you have in there?"
Amy continued to look around. "Nothing special whatsoever. Just a couple of jams – " she was cut off by the ringing of her phone. "Hello. Yes, how may I help you? This Saturday? Ummm… I guess so. Yes, that's a yes. See you too," she hung up the phone. "Guess who that was."
"Some retard?" Adam said, more of a question as he took the raspberry jam out of the refrigerator.
"No," Amy let out a small laugh. "That was Glen Jacobs and he has an extra ticket to Romeo and Juliet this Saturday. He kinda asked me on a date."
Adam dropped the bread knife he was using to spread the raspberry jam. As soon as it all sunk into him, he started laughing so hard.
