Chapter 6
Kay had woke up late today. It was around noon. She did not want to get up out of
bed. Why would she? After what Miguel had told her yesterday, she did not want to do
anything but cry. He hadn't outright broken up with her, but Kay knew Miguel all too well.
Their relationship, which was still fresh and new was coming to an abrupt end. And why?
Because of some girl they had just met a few weeks ago?
She sighed as she threw the blankets out of the way.
"Dammitt," she shouted out loud.
Kay got dressed and decided to go to the Book Cafe. Anything to get her mind off
of this situation with Miguel.
Once Kay got there, she was surprised to see Paloma there as well. But unlike her,
Paloma looked happy.
After giving her a hug, Kay asked Paloma, "why do you look so happy?"
"Because," Paloma answered cheerfully, "yesterday your brother had a big surprise
waiting for me at your house. He had transformed the den into a 'love room.' He had
candles, flowers, a romantic dinner and soft music playing. He said he was sorry for what he
had done to hurt me. We had the best time. And, on top of it all, he kissed me and made a
date for next week!"
"That's great 'loma," Kay answered absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong, Kay?" Paloma asked her.
"The problem is your brother, Miguel." Kay answered. She laughed. "Isn't it ironic
that you come here telling me what a great time you had with my brother yesterday and I
come telling you what terrible time I had with your brother?"
Paloma didn't laugh. "What did that little dumbass do?" she asked.
"It's pretty much over between us," Kay answered.
"What? Why? You guys are so great together!"
"I know..." Kay replied. "But yesterday my cousin Charity kissed him and
afterwards, he told me he needed to think. I think he likes her. If I'm not wrong, I think
Miguel's telling me 'I need to think' means 'it might be over between us.'"
Paloma hugged her best friend. She made a mental note to have a talk with her
brother later. Kay and him were perfect together. Paloma just had to reconvince Miguel of
that fact.
Reese and Jessica were talking on the phone again. They had been on the line for an
hour and a half today. Those two did not seem to get enough of each other. They were so in
love. Nothing could come in their way.
They finally ended the phone conversation.
"I love you, Jess," Reese said.
"Love you, too, Reese," Jessica answered, hanging up.
Reese put the phone down and sighed. He loved that girl so much. She was the
sweetest more lovable person in the whole world. Without her, life was not worth living.
And that seemed like it would be the case very soon.
What am I gonna do? Reese asked himself, pacing in his bedroom. My application
response to M.I.T. finally came back. I got accepted like I have always dreamed. But I
can't dream of leaving Jessica. But I also know that I can't pass up this opportunity.
He sat down on his bed as he thought of a good way to tell Jessica his news. After
an hour of thinking up of ways to let her know, he came up with nothing.
Sherry Crane entered her younger sister Julie's room without knocking. Sherry and
Julie were one year apart. They could have passed for twins but other than that, they didn't
have much in common. Sherry was definitely the nicer one, none of her friends were snobs.
Her best friend was Simone. Julie on the other hand, was a snob herself and only talked to
the local townspeople "if they were cute." Other than that, she would never get dead caught
hanging out with a Bennett unless of course if it was Noah.
"Tell me something sis," Sherry said to Julie, who was sitting at her vanity table,
brushing her hair.
"What?" Julie asked. "Can't you see I'm busy?"
"It's just one quick question Jules," Sherry replied.
"OK, come out with it then."
"Are you after Noah Bennett?" Sherry asked her flat-out.
Julie turned around to face her sister.
"What makes you think that?" she asked slyly.
"Because I know you, little sis," Sherry never missed an opportunity to let Julie
know who was the older of the two.
"So what if I am?" Julie asked, going back to fixing her hair.
"Well, honey, he's taken," Sherry informed her knowingly.
That got Julie's complete attention. She dropped her hairbrush, stood up and
looked at her sister.
"By who?" she inquired. She had always thought Noah Bennett was a hottie, even
though he was just another local Harmony resident. Her parents would never approve of
them dating, which made her chase for Noah much more desirable. She couldn't honestly
say she loved him; it was more like lust.
"You remember my friend, Paloma Lopez-Fitzgerald?" Sherry asked her.
"SHE got HIM?!" Julie asked surprised. "Why settle for the rest when you got the
best?!" she pointed to herself as if to say she was the best.
"I came here to tell you to leave them alone. They're very cute together, and let
them stay that way. Stop chasing after him," Sherry ordered her sister.
Julie gave a army-like salute to her sister.
Sherry sighed and walked out of the room. Julie was so hopeless but Sherry prayed
that Julie would surprise her and leave Paloma and Noah alone.
"Like hell, I will, Sher," Julie whispered to herself when her sister left.
