April's Fools



Caitie sank down into a booth at the Crystal Glass diner. It was 7:03 and Tyler had just walked in.
He looked sour and unhappy. Caitie knew how he was feeling. Jamie and Val were going over their
game plan outside.
"I don't want to be here." Tyler stated as he next to Caitie. Caitie nodded.
"Why don't you sit on the other side....oh yeah the love birds will want to sit together." Caitie
made a gagging noise. Tyler laughed.
"Yeah probably."
"Ya know, Tyler, " Caitie said, lowering her voice, "Something is going on. I think we aren't going
to like it when all the cards are on the table. This can't be what it seems." Tyler nodded sadly.
"I wish I could agree Caitie but I think this is really happening and I guess we'll just have to
put up with it for however long it lasts." Caitie started to protest but Val and Jamie walked in.
The conversation stopped cold and Jamie got a weird feeling. Maybe it was the negative vibes coming
from the other side of the table.
"So guys. Order whatever you want. This'll be fun. Like a double date or something." Val smiled.
She made 'eyes' at Jamie. Of course it was all for show. The evening went normally. As normal as
you could expect from a group of people who were not on the best of terms, without admitting it.
Conversation was strained and they all seemed a little weird. Jamie was too busy wondering if
Caitie was jealous and his plan was having its secret effect. Caitie was too busy hating her two
best friends but worrying about being sociable. Tyler was mad that Jamie had taken his girl and
Val was wondering if this had been the best idea. But it was too late.
Val locked eyes with Jamie and gave a slight nod. It was time to come clean and get things back to
normal.
"Well, we have a little confession to make about this whole thing." Val began slowly. Caitie barely
looked up Tyler raised his eyebrows suspiciously.(you all know by now I can't spell).
"We haven't been completely honest about us getting together." Jamie said. Caitie didn't appear
to care.
"Actually," Val said nervously. She was seriously considering bolting from the room and letting
Jamie tell the angry mob that it was all a joke. But she stayed put. "It was all a April Fools
trick..It wasn't real." Caitie's head jerked up and Tyler's eyes widened.
"We wanted it to be a real good one this year. We didn't have any ideas and..." Jamie tried to
explain. Caitie and Tyler looked both relived and angry.
"You...You weren't really going out?" Caitie said slowly. Her anger was boiling to the surface.
They had been had. Her feelings had been toyed with, her emotions had been stepped on.
"Yeah. Heh heh." Val tried to laugh.
"So I was feeling mad for nothing? Thinking I'd lost my crush for nothing? I can't believe you." Tyler
didn't care if he was admitting to liking Val. His friends had played a joke on him and it wasn't
funny at all.
"I can't believe you would do that to us! I thought I'd lost you for good. Thanks alot you two! Thanks
for breaking my heart and then trying to....ugh whatever. I'm outa here." Caitie grabbed her purse
and stood up.
"I think I'll come with you." Tyler said angrily.
"Wait, Caitie." Jamie pleaded.
"No! You are the biggest jerks ever. I thought....I thought...I thought my friends would never go
this low. To trample my feelings and have no respect for me as a person with emotions was wrong. Val,
you knew I liked Jamie. And Jamie, if you didn't know I like you by now, you're a bigger idiot
than I could have dreamed." Caitie turned and left, not even bothering to turn back. Tyler walked
behind her.
Val sighed deeply and Jamie shook his head sadly. There went the girl of his dreams, lost over a
practical jokes.
"That went...bad." Val nodded at Jamie's statement.
"You know Jamie, it looks like we're the April fools this year."
