Charlie

***

            "What was that about?" Guy asked after Adam made his quick escape. I shrugged.

            "Nothing," I sighed happily. Without another word, I got into bed and fell into my dreamland. The last thing I heard was Guy muttering to himself.

            "I have to remember to thank Banks for getting him out of his slumber…"

            The next morning, I woke-up in a much better mood than I'd been in for past few weeks. Maybe it was because I'd told someone my secret. Maybe it was because I'd finally got it off my chest. Or maybe…I shook my head, erasing that thought. It was silly. Why would anything like that even be possible? But then again, he had whispered, "Me too," the night before.

            "Hey, Charlie! Look alive! What's up?" Portman greeted me, laughing. I rolled my eyes at him.

            "Nothing much, what's up with you?"

            "Wow, that was a normal response. Hold on while I call the newspapers, will you? Oh and keep that expression on your face. I haven't seen that since…I can't even remember." He joked.

            "What's up with everybody being obsessed with my mood change?"

            "You've been in a slumber ever since Kori came into school. Does this have to do with her?"

            "No, maybe it was a coincidence." Maybe it wasn't. Maybe when I met Kori, I started to have feelings for…no I didn't have feelings for him. What the hell was I thinking?

            "Whatever. Hey, Banksie came back relatively happier last night. He was practically skipping; it was kind of scary, really. What magic did you do on him while he was over in your room. You didn't…you didn't get him laid did you?" I blushed furiously even though I knew that Portman had only been joking.

            "We just talked, that's all." But I couldn't help feeling pleased that he'd been happier.

            "Well speak of the devil," Portman greeted Adam, nodding at him. Adam looked confused.

            "Were you talking about me, Portman? I thought we talked about this last night."

            "Hah," Portman snorted with a smile, "Last night, you could barely talk, you were floating with happiness."

            "So I was content with my life for once," Banksie blushed, "What's wrong with that?"

            "Nothing." Adam looked carefully over at me and I smiled nervously back at him. Strangely, my palms were all sweaty and my heart was beating at 150 miles per hour. What the hell was wrong with me? I found my head subconsciously turning over to where Adam's face was and I found him looking back at me. Resisting the urge to snap my head away, I licked my lips and gulped down saliva. We were engaged in a staring match that Portman found amusing. I lost.

            Kori came into the cafeteria at that moment and threw us a small smile. I had this ridiculous thought when I looked at her, 'Why don't I ask her what I should do about confusing love feelings?' It was so crazy, I knew it would work. She was close with Adam. Wait. What did that have to do with anything? 'I don't like Adam…I don't like Adam…I don't…ok maybe I have a tiny little teensy weensy crush on him.' I admitted that much to myself before running up to Kori.

            "Hey Kori, what's up?" she looked up at me strangely.

            "Hey Charlie."

            "Can you help me figure something out?" I asked her. I silently patted myself on the back for that one.

            "Why can't you ask Adam? He's a guy."

            "But…I did," I said hastily, crossing my fingers behind my back, "He told me to ask you."

            "He did, did he? Well I'll see what I can do. Come on, let's go outside so we can keep your…problem a secret."

            "Good idea." I followed her outside, relieved that I'd made up that great excuse on the spot. 'Drama club, here I come,' I thought jokingly to myself.

            "So talk," Kori demanded.

            "Let's say, hypothetically, that this guy likes this, uh, person. I mean, he doesn't know for sure if he likes this person. He knows this other person isn't completely out of his league, but he's not sure how to tell if he really likes this person as…more than a friend. Hypothetically, how would he be able to tell?" Kori listened carefully then smiled to herself.

            "Charlie, I think I know how you can tell."

            "It's not me, what are you talking about? It's just hypothetically."

            "Right, well I think I can help sort this out…hypothetically.

            "How?"

            "Well do you…I mean does this hypothetical guy find himself thinking about this other, uh, person constantly? And when he thinks about this person, does he always try to deny that he has any feelings for this other person?"

            "Yeah! Exactly how I…I mean this hypothetical guy feels."

            "Well, I hate to break it to this hypothetical guy, but I'd say that you were in love with this person. Hypothetically, of course."

            "Of course." She laughed softly before her face suddenly turned serious.

            "Okay, Charlie. Cut the crap. Who is this person that you're deemed in love with?"

            "I'm not in love! What the hell are you talking about?"

            "Charlie…"

            "What?" I was turning red and I was getting very, very nervous. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Kori's palm was flying at me and she gave me a full-fledged bitch slap. I blinked twice, slightly stunned.

            "You're in love, you jackass!" she yelled at me, "And I know who it is too! Charlie Conway, you're head over heels for Adam Banks, you dumb fuck!" With that, she stalked away, shaking her head. I must have sat there for twenty minutes, completely shocked.

            How did she know? And furthermore, how come she didn't seem at all disturbed by it? And how come I was always the last person to find everything out? Even when I was the one in love? Now that I thought about it though, it had been pretty obvious. I should've been able to figure it out myself, but being the 'dumb fuck' that I was, it obviously didn't go through my thick skull. Looking back, I could remember countless amounts of times that I'd thought about Adam, refusing to believe that I had. And the night before, he'd admitted that he was gay. A small smile graced my lips. As I went back to the cafeteria, the small smile turned into an earsplitting grin.

Thanks for the reviews:

Hilde7085: Don't worry, you'll find out about Jesse slowly. The Chadam's going to take over for the next chapter as well. Jesse will definitely come back. Don't worry about it.

Moonlight Pheonix1: Yes, I will tell you. Just not yet. I know, poor Kori. If that ever happened to me (which it won't because I can't even attract them in the first place =D), I'd be devastated.

LB: Eek…I better think of a good sequel then, lol. Jesse's…uh…fifteen seconds of fame will come soon.

Chelsea: Okay, that was a change. I didn't feel like typing out your user name, lol. Anyways, that was one hell of a review!! But I enjoyed reading it, it makes me happy. But I think I already told you that. You know, I never noticed that Mary-Kate and Ashley t-shirt saying thing. Hmm…well thanks!

Sphinx the Minx: *shrugs* Jesse means what he means. Hey, he is a guy you know. (sorry if there are any guys reading this…). I'm glad I'm not allowed to date yet =D. Good luck with college and thanks for reading even though you're exhausted!

Irigelbbub: Thanks for reading!! I hope this is soon enough for ya! =D

Gothic Author: I guess he doesn't…so sad, so sad…

Vinnies-Angel: OMG ME TOO!!! Yeah, I started high school this year too. Can you say work load? Anyway, thanks about the writing. I try, I try =D. Well whenever you think of the question, you can always e-mail me, the address is in my profile. Oh and please do something with your stories. Sometime. In the near distant future. Please?

Geometrygal: BRITTS!!! Whoo hoo, let's have a party in Chadam! Lol, well anyway I still can't figure out why we need boys. It'll always be a big mystery to me…oh and I want to kick Jesse's ass too, but I know what he's going to do and stuff so I can't. I have to let him do it first. And then I'll kick his ass. =D You should definitely try some Stoda (steve and soda, lol sorry I made that one up on the spot…) fic. I think you'd pull it off great. Oh and Dustin is defnitely HOT HOT HOT! I think the rest of them are a little hard on his dimwitted-ness. I feel bad for the guy. You know who else is hot? Hunter. But that's just me. Maybe. Welcome back!

Jetta: Thank you very much! I love relationships too…throw in a little angst in there and I'm good. =D

Kellyerielf: Yeah, I know not too many people are interested in Kori and all, but I felt like I'd just leave you guys hanging if it didn't happen. But there will be more and Chadam is on my mind for awhile now. So…for the next few chapters there will be Chadam and a tiny bit of Kori problems, though she'll mostly be helping Adam. That's all I'm saying. Thanks!

I have a horrible feeling I forgot someone so if it was you, I DIDN'T MEAN IT!! THANKS!

PLEASE REVIEW!
