Alright, so this chapter get's a little more heavy. Nothing too serious, but just though I'd give the warning anyway. This chapter was actually very fun to write. Hope you enjoy.
Year 1, Summer, Day 24 (Firefly Festival)
I hate Selena. I really, really, really hate her. I wish there was another way to describe her. Oh ya… there is… she's a dirty bitch. That just about describes it. Want to hear about my day? Don't mind the rips in my journal pages; I am literally killing the paper as I write because I am so pissed. I've never been this mad for a while. Maybe even in my whole life.
The funny thing is, you'd think I would be mad at Selena for stealing my Gill, so I couldn't go with him to the Firefly Festival. Well, that was the case, at first. But now, it's a whole different ball game. Read and see.
So I couldn't go with Gill to the Firefly Festival. That option was out. But I could still go. Single. Yes, it might be a little embarrassing, but right now, I truly didn't care. Then I thought of another idea. I could just ask someone else! Someone hot enough to make Gill jealous, and hopefully, Selena too. I was betting on the chance that she'd like my guy over Gill, because once Selena sets her eye on someone that she thinks has potential, she never stops until she gets him. Or her. I know, gross with the "her" thing, but it's true. This girl has done everything. I happen to know it was Kathy… Ugh…
So, as this idea had the most chance of happening, I started thinking for a suitable hot guy. I decided to take a walk while I thought. As I passed people on the island, I considered them.
Toby? Very cute, but not hot. He definitely had a kid-like appearance. And his personality wasn't far of from that either. Plus, he liked Renee.
How about Dr. Jin? Hot in a way, but too old. I happen to know he is 35. Plus, he's been dating Anissa for 5 years. There was a 100% chance he would be going with her.
Calvin? He was definitely hot, but unfortunately, already on Selena's list of "Already Done."
Dammit, this was hard.
Chase? Ugh… he would be perfect if he wasn't gay. He was hot, but taken by Bo. Hmm… the cook and the carpenter. Weird couple.
Owen? Hmm. Not bad, not bad, the muscles would definitely help. But I'd heard he was out of town for the week. Somewhere called Mineral Town, hanging out with his friend Gray. Jeez, of all the days. I could've used him. But then I thought how he was one of my good friends. I guess I really didn't want to do that to him, in case it made things weird between us.
Julius. One word. Girl. I heard he'd actually got changed… Ewww.
I thought I was all out of guys. Until I passed by Dale's carpentry. And saw Luke sweating away while he was sawing. I considered him. He barely had any knowledge at all, except for carpentry, but he had the body and face to be defined as hot. And I knew Selena didn't care how smart here "subjects" were.
Now, I guess you might say, it would be mean of me to use Luke that way. And I know that. But at that moment, I was not myself. So I asked him.
"Hey Luke," I said approaching him, trying out a hard, smooth, voice. "I was wondering if you had a date to the Firefly Festival?"
"Oh hi, Angie! Umm, no, I don't have a date. Just figured I'd stick around here to finish my work tonight."
"Well," I said, running my fingers lightly across his back, "I don't have a date either. We could go together, that is, if you really wanted to go."
"Haha, seriously? You wanna go out with me? Sure, Angie, I'll go. Meet me at 7, at Caramel Falls, Kay?"
"Sure thing, Luke. I'll be there." I waved, and as I turned around to walk home, a little evil smile came across my face. I'm so bad eh? Man, if I was actually myself at that moment, I would have run into a tree or something. To try and get back to normal. I had never been this warped by anger. But, right at that moment, I could do nothing to change it.
So I went to the Firefly Festival with Luke. It was interesting. Here's what happened.
I put on a cute top and tight skinny jeans before it was time to go. I curled my hair with a curling iron, and put some eye shadow and mascara on. I walked out the door at five to seven, because I lived right beside Caramel Falls. I brought my blanket with me. But when I arrived, I didn't see Luke. I figured he wasn't there yet. So I picked a spot on the grass, spread out my blanket, and sat down.
I'd only been sitting for one minute when Little Miss Asshole walked right by me, holding Gill's hand. Gill didn't look at me, but Selena did, and she gave me a huge smirk that turned into a sneer. They sat down about 15 yards from me and a little bit in front of me. I had a good view of everything they were doing.
Just then, Selena whispered something to Gill, and he nodded. Then she started walking towards me.
"Hey, bitch, all alone on this pleasant night?" Selena asked me.
"Aww, I'm sorry, you must have the wrong person. My date's right over there," I said pointing downstream. Luke was walking towards me and when he saw me, he smiled and waved. Perfect timing.
"Well! I must say, didn't think you could ever get a guy. So, how much did you pay him?"
"Oh, I didn't pay him anything. Just promised him a little action tonight," I said slyly.
"Ooo, getting frisky now aren't ya, you little slut?" Selena sneered at me.
"Hmm, looks who's talking, Miss "I've done everyone!"
By this time, Luke was close enough to sit down. Selena turned from a bitch to a sexy woman in one second.
"So Luke," Selena began, "Couldn't find anything better?" She obviously meant me.
"Huh?" Good thing Luke wasn't smart.
"Oh, nevermind. Just remember that I'm always open if you need a real woman." And with that, she smiled at him and walked her sexy walk back to Gill.
Luke was confused. "What was that about?"
"Ah, nothing. C'mon, let's enjoy the fireflies."
We sat in silence for a while, and in my peripheral vision, I caught Gill stealing glances at me and Luke. I made sure to get as close to Luke as possible.
Selena, saw that Gill was distracted, so she immediately grabbed his face and started kissing him, knowing that I was watching. It was gross. Selena's version of kissing was way different from mine. First of all, it was more like making out. Selena was rubbing her hands all over Gill's chest and then slid one hand up under his shirt. She started kissing his neck and face all over, stealing glances at me, the whole time.
Ugh, I was getting mad. So you know what I did? The same thing. I know, I know, it's never good to sink to your enemy's level, but like I said, I was not myself today.
I took Luke's face in my hands and kissed him lightly, then again, with more pressure. He responded immediately, his arms clutching my hips and pulling me towards him. I'd say, for my first time kissing, I did pretty good. We weren't making out hard core like Selena and Gill, but I was definitely bothering Selena. She frowned and gave me a dirty look while Gill was kissing her neck.
Ugh. I just wanted to shout 'Gill stop that!' But I couldn't. That would mess up everything.
We continued to kiss at different points throughout the evening, some sessions lasting longer than others. Unfortunately, so did Gill and Selena. When it was 10:00, everyone started packing up. I could sense Gill looking at me, but I never looked back to catch his eye.
When they walked by Luke and I, Gill glanced quickly into my eyes. I gave him a "I hope you know what you're getting into" look. He just stared naively back. I really think he didn't have a clue what he was getting into. Yes he was older than me, but so naïve in some ways. I think his life without his mother made him oblivious to the world around him for a while, and he missed the "teenager, puberty, sex-talk" part of his life.
Well, I wasn't about to have that talk with him. I just hoped Hamilton had told him something. I watched him leave; still looking at him, as he shot glances back at me. Finally, when they were out of sight, Luke and I packed up, and he walked me home.
"That was fun, Angie, thanks!" Luke sounded like he really meant it. He leaned in to give me a warm hug, and then smiled at me. "I'd love to go out again sometime!" Then he turned and started walking home.
I sighed. It was then that I started to feel bad for using Luke. He was such a nice guy. Just like Owen. I hoped that if all this didn't turn out in a mess, we could be friends.
I went inside and got into my nightgown. Right now, I'm so tired I think I could fall asleep right here. So I'm going to bed now. I guess I'll just have to wait to find out what happened with Selena and Gill. I hope it was nothing too serious.
Ok, so there ya go. A typical jealously chapter.
By, the way, please don't criticize for the way I used the other guys in harvest moon. Trust me, I don't want Chase to be gay or Julius to be a girl. I just needed excuses for Angela. Plus, secretly, I find Chase hotter when I consider him gay. :P
