Charmaine quietly closed the door to her room & locked it. She plopped on her bed & looked at the pictures of when Nate & her were in our younger ages. Nate wore blue overalls & his bangs covered his eyes. Charmaine wore a yellow sundress with yellow slippers to match. They were only 6 at the time, but it made Charmaine happy. She loved those old times.
She turned her body so her face is facing the window. She got up & opened it. When she looked outside, the sunset by the beach was amazing. It was so orange,red & yellow. She lived by the beach, so she'd see the same view every evening, but today was different.
Yeah, it looked the same like before, but something made me different.
She thought to herself. Do I care too much about who Nate likes? No. Charmaine. Don't. Just.. Don't. You'll hurt yourself too much. Just.. Oh who am I kidding, I care ALOT about it. I wish I knew who it was..
She studied the sunset as it went down. She felt the warm breeze fly by her face as she closed her window. She walked back to her bed & picked up her ringing phone.
It was from May. She picked it up slowly.
"Hello?"
"CHARMAINE! Thank goodness. I thought something happened to you! Did you leave your phone at home again?"
"mm, maybe." She giggled a bit & May just followed.
"Soo, people said Nate talked to you something?"
Charmaine remembered when Nate told him about whoever he likes & how he'll tell her. Her heart started to race again.
"Uhh..yeah."
She played around with the bear on her bed.
"So?"
"So?"
"Soo, what did he talk to you about?" She squealed a bit which felt really annoying.
"Stuff.."
"Just stuff. C'mon Charmaine. What did he say?"
She fiddled her fingers. "Uhh. I Got to go. See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah ok by-" Charmaine hung up & placed her phone on her desk. She turned off the lights, jumped into bed & shut her eyes tight.
I really want to tell her I like her, but I don't know how. I mean.. I don't know what to say & it just seems so awkward. I like her alot, but there's something .. something I can't make out .. in the way..
Nate blasted the music in his room to get his mind off things. He looked out the window to see the sunset almost disappearing into the darkness. He sighed & got out his black sweater. He put it on & put on his hood.
He got his house keys & walked out the door. He walked to the dock & sat down, throwing rocks into the water. He usually did this when he wanted to think about something or just to be alone. He just sat there humming to himself until he got a phone call from his friend, Neil. He stared at his phone for a bit then answered.
"Aye,"
"Yo, Nate. Did you talk about it with Charmaine?"
Charmaine's name ran through his mind. Thats it. Charmaine..
Whenever her name would come out of nowhere, his heart started to race knowing he was kind of .. ermm, lets say, inlove with her. He was ever since, how long. He just didn't want to tell her because he didn't want to ruin their friendship.
"Yeah."
"So what did she say?"
He bit his lip. "Uhm, tell you some other time. Gotta ."
"Ok bye."
Nate hung up & put his phone in his pocket. He sighed & looked down at the water & how it glistened in the light. He sighed & checked his phone.
10:00.
Guess he's been there for a while.
He got up & dusted himself off. He put his hands in his pockets & walked back home.
He closed his front door & walked upstairs to his room.
He closed the door of his room to see the pictures of when him & Charmaine were hanging out in his room & just having a blast. He placed his hands on the pictures & imagined the days when we were younger. He smiled to himself & took off his sweater. He threw it to the other side of the room & jumped onto his bed. Nate shut his eyes not caring that he left the lights on.
At school
*Charmaine's wearing a yellow sundress with brown boots. Nate is wearing gray skinny's & gray vans with a white & black striped v neck.*
Charmaine took out her books for science out of her locker & closed it not expecting a
"SURPRISE!" Nate shouted.
She let out a scream & dropped her books. "Oh my gosh, Nate. What are you trying to do? Kill me!"
He let out a laugh & helped Charmaine pick up her books. "Well, I'm sorry." He smirked. "It looked like a good time to get back at you."
"Back at me?"
"Yeah. For jumping on me yesterday?"
"OHHH. Alright then?" She took the books from Nate & walked to class. Nate ran after her & stopped her halfway to class.
"You have 2 minutes until class right?"
Charmaine put a confused look on her face. "Uh yeah. Why?"
"Do you think you can .." He looked around to see alot of students passing by.
"Come with me." He grabbed her hand & walked to the front doors of the school where nobody really was at this time.
"Ok so.."
"So?" She furrowed her eyebrows.
"I want to ask the girl I like out & I just.. want you to be there."
Her heart started to race again thinking it was her. She looked into his big, dark brown eyes then looked away, down at her shoes.
"Uh..but..why?"
"Because.." He bit his lip. "I'll feel more comfortable when your around."
She blushed & looked away so he won't notice. "Uhm, alright. But you've got.." She looked at her watch. "One minute."
"Ok." He turned around & saw a girl sitting by the fountain reading a book. "She's right there." He pointed to her while Charmaine stopped blushing, knowing it isn't her. She was relived, but it..hurt like a ton of bricks.
"Alright..Why don't you just go while I sit here & watch k?"
He sighed & gave her a small smile before he walked away.
She sat on the steps of the school looking around at the view. There wasn't much to look at though. Just other students & some cars. She looked down at a book she was reading for English. It was about a boy & girl who fell inlove, but one of them dies before they even knew.
She admired the front cover until someone put a hand on her left shoulder. She looked up & saw Nate smiling. He sat down beside her & shook her arm from happiness.
"Uhh Nate. Stop doing that. It feels funny."
He stopped & cleared his throat. "Turns out she likes me also & I asked her out &"
"And?"
"She said-"
