:') I can't describe how happy I am right now. Do you guys know how many reviews I got for the last chapter? It's amazing! I'd thank you all but frankly I don't have internet at the moment so I don't have your names ;) But a BIG thanks to someone who my memory is only reminding me of being named Vee, So Vee! I thank you! She is the first person to respond to my little contest thing, so she gets first choice at a character! She shall be introduced in this chapter! :D
September 24th. Awks...
So today's the day after the... incident with Tom. Tommy. I can call him Tommy now.
See, it was very... awkward first thing this morning. He came to sit with Macy, Jenna, Sam and I, and frankly I didn't know how to act. Were we dating now? Were we still friends? What was going to change? These were the questions that were running marathons through my head.
How did I cope, Kagoogle you ask? Well, I'll be Frank.
I stuffed my face with food and ignored him completely. Legit, I pulled a Frank. There's this guy named Frank in fifth year who avoids talking to people by over eating.
Tom must've been really confused, especially when Vee came over and I yanked her away from the table and to the library with me.
"What the fuck child? It's not like I need sustenance or anything right?"
I sighed, "Sorry Vee, I can't face Tom right now."
She smirked, "Ooh, what happened between you and Tom?"
I blushed and she smirked even more, "Oh man! Did the great and inseparable Caramel and Tom have a fight? Holy shit this is rich."
"Vee! You can't tell anyone! And we didn't have a fight. Do you swear on the life of your mother that you won't tell anyone?"
"Sure, sure."
"Vee!"
She laughed, "Fine! I swear on the life of my mother that I'll tell no one of the juicy and awesome thing you are about to tell me."
I took a deep breath, "I was in the kitchen last night, and Tom kissed me."
Her eyes widened, "What the f-"
I covered her mouth before she could swear to the entire library, "Shh! You idiot this is a library! People can hear you!"
She bit my hand, I took it away and held it, "Ow! Holy shit what is wrong with you?"
She grinned, "Don't cover my mouth then. And don't keep things like this from me! You know full well I'll freak out."
"Thanks Vee, really supportive is what you are."
She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Come on Caramel, the tension between you two has been going since he discovered girls in general."
"Like I didn't know that..." I grumbled.
She grinned again, "So it's really surprising to those of us who were betting good money that we'd have to end up intervening."
I was surprised, "You were betting on us?"
"Macy and I have been placing bets all year."
"Great to know my love life is so private. The problem is: I don't know what's going to happen now! Are we dating? Are we going back to being friends? Friends with benefits? Which I still think is a really stupid concept, I mean 'oh yeah, he just happens to be my best friend that I make out with once in awhile'."
She laughed, "Sounds about right. From the way your dear Tom has been looking at you for the last three fucking years, I'm gonna say he wants to date you."
"Are you sure?"
She rolled her eyes, "Caramel, when have I ever been wrong about these things?"
I thought for a minute, Vee and I had never really been close, which was why I trusted her the most with all of my Tom issues, no offence to my Macy, Sam and Jenna but they can't keep a secret. And they're awful at teasing. So, I go to Vee whenever I have issues. And she always helps me handle things.
I sighed, "Never."
She grinned, "So I won't be now, he'll want to talk first Caramel, but after that you're home free for your happily ever after."
I grinned, "That sounds nice."
She groaned, "Of course it does, it's a sickeningly sweet fairy tale ending, it's mandatory for it to sound nice."
My grin grew even wider, "So what do I do now?"
"Dear God child go have breakfast with him!"
I laughed, "Okay, okay."
With that I ran out of the Library and back down to the breakfast hall, where Tom was still sitting uncertainly with Macy and Sam. Jenna's meditation normally took until about five minutes before class started. Which sucked some days because more often then not she was late.
Back to breakfast.
I slid into the seat next to Tom, and -shocking Macy and Sam- I leaned in and kissed him right on the cheek.
He smiled, no longer uncertain, and leaned in to kiss me right on the lips. When we finally separated he whispered in my ear, "I think we should tell them we're dating."
I laughed lightly, so we were dating, Vee was right, yet again. "Sure."
We both looked over at them, Macy was grinning, and Sam was still in shock.
"So, we're kind of dating." I admitted.
"NO SHIT!" Sam yelled, pale.
Macy, ever curious, "So who kissed who?" She asked in her quiet tinkling voice.
Tom grinned, "I kissed her."
"Crap. I owe Vee ten galleons..."
Okay, maybe not that curious.
I rolled my eyes, "Nice Mace, real nice."
She flashed me a cheeky grin, "I do my best."
Tom laughed, and slung his hand around my waist, "So you guys were betting on us?"
Macy nodded, "Vee and I, she said you would kiss her first, I said Caramel would crack first."
Tom laughed, "It was close."
I rolled my eyes, "Kay, enough. I'm going to go tell Jenna that class is starting soon, I'll meet you guys in Charms."
Tom kissed me good-bye, I really could get used to that.
Right as I was getting out the front doors I saw Jenna walking down the beach. I waved to her and she smiled and waved back.
I ran down the beach, slipping and sliding over little sand dunes until I reached her, she grinned, "'Sup Caramel?"
"Not much, breakfast was good, they served pancakes, oh and I'm dating Tom."
She grinned, "Legit?"
"Yeah, we kissed, tension was broken, all is good."
She smiled even wider, "About time."
"You too?"
A bewildered look crossed her face, "What?"
"Macy and Vee were betting on us..."
She laughed, "Oh yeah! I didn't want to get into that. They both bet on the only options so I had nothing to input."
"Oh true." I said nodding.
By that time we'd made it up to the school again, we walked in, straight into Tom.
He grinned, "Just the girls I was looking for." He slung his arm around my shoulder, "So did you tell dearest Jenn the news yet?"
She nodded, "Yep. Congrats, the tension between you two could've been cut with a freaking knife during the last year."
I laughed, "Are you serious?"
Jenna looked at me like I was crazy, "Kay, Macy noticed it."
I thought for a minute, "Good point. Carry on."
She smiled, "So what class do we have first?"
"Potions." I said groaning, it wasn't that I didn't like potions, it's that it was on one of the top floors and you always had to lug your cauldron up there with you. Professor Haynes had this weird fear of unattended cauldrons, which meant none were allowed to be kept in the potions room.
Normally we'd stash our cauldrons in the nearest hallway in the first week, but so far we hadn't needed our cauldrons, we were doing mostly theory work. Today was our first day needing them.
Ten flights of stairs. One cauldron. One FREAKING HEAVY cauldron.
One epic journey.
Will we make it alive? Wait and see...
Now that I've got the cheesy movie commercial out of the way Kagoogle let's move on to AFTER the boring classes!
After school Tom and I took a walk down by the beach, but Kagoogle, I think you've been spying. You don't need to know everything that went on down there (nudge nudge, wink wink.), so tonight Kagoogle, I bid you adieu.
Goodnight! Goodnight! Parting is such sweet sorrow! That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow!
And that right there Kagoogle is why I got a 95 in my summer school English class dad forced me to take.
Peace out sukkah!
This is by far, the SHORTEST chapter I've ever written, my average length is about 16 pages, and this one's only 6! Ah well, the only way I could make it longer would be if I added the next chapter in, but I don't wanna do that. Because for now the Diary shall be closed! Let us see our favourite boy's reactions to this now shall we? Till next time, and don't forget to hit the little button down there, it gets lonely yah know!
