Since I had that ''meet'' with Carrie, thing hadn't been the same than before
Everything is so... awkward
But I hadn't seen Gumball in a while, I kinda miss him...
But hey, he let me go, so I'll just ... go
In the school I spend most of the time alone (again...). Since some time, I been receiving calls from Gumball, I hadn't seen him in a while, he might be with Penny now, I was just a nuisance for her and him, I was a step that had to be forgotten, he chose it and I just accept it.
I stayed out of class, I didn't feel well, though my germophobia has been controlled for some time, occasionally I feel it isn't, so I went to the Nurse's office.
''What happens, Teri?'' She asked me
''I don't feel well, my body is full of hives''
''Teri, you have nothing on your body...''
''Yes, I have, how can't you see them?'' I said to her pointing my body
''Teri... you just drawn that, I saw you''
''Hmm... No, I don't''
''But why there's a pencil on your pocket?''
''...''
''Anyway, how are you doing, little liar?''
''Fine I guess...''
''Really? Cause Darwin told me that you aren't fine...''
''Why he talks about me?! I don't even know him!''
''I don't know, he's pretty weird''
''You can tell?''
''I mean, I don't know him well too, but he just comes here to tell me that, and then he leaves''
''He's a maniac, please ignore him''
''He told me that Gumball is with Penny...''
''I don't want to talk about it, please...''
''Ok, Teri.. but remember, please don't do anything stupid, I'm your friend and I'm here to help you in everything you need''
''Oh, don't worry, I won't do it again...''
''I'm glad to hear you say that''
''I have to go Nurse, see you around'' I said
''See ya, sweetheart'' She said with a grin on her face
I left the Nurse's office, I didn't need to remember those dark days, specially with her.
At the lunch, I went as usual to sit with Carrie, but a familiar voice called me...
It was Gumball... he was sit next to Penny
''... Bastard, when will he stop humiliating me?...'' I thought
''TERI !'' He yelled while he was getting closer
''Hi'' I said
''Why don't you answer my calls?''
''Oh, I don't want to''
''But why?''
''Better ask yourself, why should I answer your calls if you're with other person?'' I said annoyed
''What?''
''Well played, Gumball, you made me that you liked me''
''But... I do''
''But hey... fuck it'' I yelled, everyone who was close turned
''Why?''
''Ask yourself''
''I ... love you''
''Never use those words in vain, Gumball, never.'' I said without compassion
His face seemed as if someone stabbed him on the chest and pulled off his heart, just as I when I saw him with Penny
Maybe I exceed a bit, but hey
He deserved it.
I sit in the table were I always eat with Carrie, she seemed happy to see me. As we talked about our days, something that she said called my attention
''So, how has things been doing?'' She asked me
''Nothing interesting Carrie, and you?''
''I heard about a rumour''
''What rumour?''
''Ow... you know, you're in it'' she said with a grin
''What!?'' I said puzzled
''Oh c'mon Teri, I know you already know'' She said laughing
''I promise I don't know..''
''Well my friend,I heard that Penny was dating someone...''
''Why she had to mention it?'' I thought to myself
''and that someone is ... Tobias!''
''... but she was with Gumball... I saw them''
''Hmm I don't think so, they're in good terms but nothing further than that''
''...So Gumball, it's single?''
''Yes, he is'' she answered me
Angst broke inside me and almost made me cry, Carrie noticed immediately
''It's something wrong, Teri?''
''Everything...'' I said, I had ruined everything that I fought for...
''Let's go, I have to show you something'' She said worried
She took me to gym's dressing room, there we sat in the benches, I was really nervous, it was very awkward being with her
.. alone
.. in the dressing room
''Why we're here, Carrie?''
''I need to talk with you''
''About..?''
''Something that you should know..''
''What?''
''You're beautiful, Teri''
''...''
''I really think you're a great person, you're the most human person that I had ever known''
''Oh ... well''
''And I know you like Gumball since a time...'' She said
''A bit..''
''And... a little bird told me that you feel ''strange'' with me..''
In that moment, I froze, I didn't know what to answer
''... don't worry, your secret is safe with me..'' She said
''...Thanks''
'' I feel the same...''
''wow...''
She got closer to me
Oh no.. that feel again.. here we go..
.. she kissed my forehead and stepped back, I was shocked
''Do you know that when someone kisses you on the forehead, it's because she wants to protect you and wants you to be good at every moment. It's the purest of the kisses, it's unconditional'' She said
I was astonished..
''Even if don't know you so well Teri, I can tell that you're one of the best persons that I had ever met''
''Y-y-you too Carrie, you understand me just as I am''
''But there's other person that fully understands you'' she said smiling
''I know..''
''So.. you should go'' She said
''I don't feel brave enough...''
''Here, take my bow, it makes me feel brave''
''But .. we will keep being friends?'' I asked worried
''Of course, forever'' She said tearfully
''But Carrie...''
''Go.. I'll be alright'' She said with decision in her voice
''I hope someday...'' I heard her say in quietly
And I went as she said, hoping that It won't be late for fixing what I've done
''I hope..''
What will happen with Teri now?
Till the next chapter :D
