Chapter 9: Realising Our Feelings
Angelica lay on her bed reading a magazine when the phone rang. She ran downstairs and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Angelica? Susie."
"Hey Susie. How have you been?"
"Oh you know, bored. Anyway, I wanna ask you something."
"And what would that be?" Angelica asked with a good idea of what it would be.
"Well, the guys have been talking to me and I couldn't help but listen to the fact that you beat Chuckie up and put him in hospital for no apparent reason." Susie said. Her tone quite calm and friendly. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM?!" She shouted angrily.
Angelica pulled the phone away from her ear as Susie shouted. When she had finished she sighed and put the phone back to her ear.
"Susie, all I can tell you is that is was a crappy reason which wouldn't warrant as much as giving him a dirty look. I just lost it as I'm a power mad idiot." Angelica explained as she placed her free hand on her forehead.
"Do you expect me to believe that?" Susie asked.
"No, I don't. Given the choice, I'd turn back the clock and make sure that I never would have shunned him, and do you want to know why?" Angelica asked.
"Yes." Susie replied.
"I'll tell you why. After I beat him up, called the ambulance and got home, I started to feel guilty. The following day at school I felt very guilty. I still can't believe what I did to him and I have a huge guilty conscience hanging over me that will never go away unless Chuckie forgives me." Angelica explained.
"Do you think he will forgive you? I think he would be pretty stupid to forgive you after what you did. You've gone one too far this time Angelica."
"Hey! Don't you DARE insult Finster's intelligence! It's hard enough knowing that I've hurt him but to know that others are insulting him as well compels me to defend him! In response to your question, it'll take a long, long time before he would consider forgiving me. I know that and he knows that and one mistake and I'll have lost any chance of losing this guilty conscience that looms over me like a dark storm cloud."
"I'll tell you one thing, you sure are convincing. If you are lying, then that is one sick joke but if you are telling the truth, I'm surprised you could be so honest." Susie commented.
"Well, even I have been known to tell the truth. It doesn't happen often but this one occasion where I mean every word I say." Angelica could feel tears welling up in her eyes and she sniffed, trying to fight off just completely breaking down.
"Gee, you are really bummed about this aren't you?" Susie asked.
"Yeah. I am. I just...I just wish none of this would have happened." Angelica began to cry. "I...I'm responsible for all of this...all of it." Tears flowed freely down her cheeks.
"This means so much to you doesn't it?" Susie asked sympathetically.
"Uh-huh."
"I...I think I'd better leave you to dwell on your thoughts. I'll speak to you soon Angelica." Susie said as she hung up.
Angelica switched the phone off and placed it back on its stand before sitting on the couch and just completely breaking down. However, she wasn't alone as her parents had heard her end of the conversation and couldn't believe how sorry she felt. They sat down next to her. Angelica didn't pay too much attention to them.
"Did you really mean what you said?" Charlotte asked.
Angelica just nodded as Charlotte hugged her daughter.
"You really feel this way? Regretting everything?" Drew asked.
Angelica wiped her eyes and sniffed. "Uh-huh. All I've done to him...is hurt him or make fun of him. I've rarely shown any kind of compassion or care for him. Now it's all become clear...how I've treated him and how wrong I've been to him." Angelica managed to say, still sobbing.
....
It was Monday morning and Angelica sat, as usual now, by herself in the homeroom. She rested her head on the desk and looked at the empty seat beside her. The only empty seat in the room. All she could think about was Chuckie.
'Oh Chuckie. How I have wronged you so much all our lives. I've known you for so long yet I've been so cruel to you...how I wish I could just make it up to you.' She thought. After this, Angelica began to think of the fun they had had over the summer and she smiled at the memories.
'Why couldn't have I have not my ego get in the way of our friendship back then?' She asked herself. She kept thinking of him, how charming and smart he was, how friendly and how much fun he was. A dreamy look appeared on her face as she kept thinking of his good points.
"I love you." She whispered before realising what she had said.
'Oh my God! I...I'm in love! Oh my God!' She kept thinking.
...
Phil sat down at the tables with his usual glop which he didn't know what was supposed to be and quite frankly didn't want to find out what it was.
"Hey Phil." Tommy and Kimi greeted him.
"Hey guys. So, Tommy. How is your project coming along?" Phil asked as Lil joined them.
"It's going quite well. I think we've almost got it working. A few more hours of work and I think it'll be at least functional." Tommy told him. "How is your project?" Tommy asked both Kimi and Phil.
"Going alright. I keep telling Phil that it won't work but, being the typical male he is, he won't listen." Kimi replied.
"Hey! You're the one who woke me up at an ungodly hour yesterday! I think I'm allowed to be stubborn!" Phil retorted.
Kimi loved Phil's remarks. She loved to tease and insult him so she could listen to them; they kind of turned her on.
"What's up guys?" Dil asked as he joined them.
"Hey Dil. We were just talking about our Science Projects." Phil told him.
"Boy, you should have heard Tommy and Lil on Friday! Man, it sounded like they were making out hard the way they were working! Man that sure was freaky to hear." Dil exclaimed.
"What?! You made out with my sister?" Phil shouted as he reached across and grabbed Tommy's shirt.
"Hey chill Phil!" Tommy said calmly.
"Is it true?" Phil asked Lil.
Lil just blushed.
"You bastard Tommy! I'll kill you!" Phil screamed, causing everyone to stop and look at Phil.
Kimi grabbed Phil's arm and yanked it back hard. "Stand down Phil!" She told him.
Phil groaned in pain and let go of Tommy's shirt. Kimi then let go of Phil's arm.
"Go back about your business everyone." Kimi shouted.
Everyone turned around to get on with whatever they were doing before. Kimi pulled Phil to one side.
"Calm down Phil! It's not the end of the world just because Tommy is dating your sister! Haven't you noticed that sometimes they had been acting strange around each other?" She asked.
"Well, maybe. But..." Phil tried to protest but Kimi cut him off.
"Listen, yesterday you saved me from myself and today I'm saving you from yourself. You know that Tommy wouldn't do anything to hurt Lil. He shouldn't have to prove that he is worthy enough to date her as you know him better than anyone with the exceptions of Chuckie and Dil. He won't harm her in anyway and you know that, I know that, Dil knows that, Lil knows that and Tommy knows that." Kimi explained to Phil.
Phil sighed deeply. "Okay Tommy. I guess I should not stop you from seeing Lil. But remember that I've got my eye on you and I'll be watching your every move. Make one false move and I'll come down on you like a tonne of bricks!" Phil warned.
"Got it Phil. I won't let you down." Tommy promised.
"See that you don't."
....
Later that afternoon, Phil and Kimi were walking through the park. Tommy and Lil were "working" on their Science Project leaving them to kill the rest of the day. The Sun was setting.
"Isn't that sunset beautiful?" Kimi asked.
"If you like that sort of thing." Phil replied.
"Gee Phil! How romantic of you!" Kimi retorted sarcastically.
"I'm sorry Kimi. I'm just still mad about Tommy and Lil." Phil said.
"Just don't let it bother you. You can't stop them from being happy together. Lil is very fond of Tommy just like how...well, I'm fond of someone." Kimi said, blushing a little.
"Who?" Phil asked. Suddenly he was aware of a possible threat that could steal Kimi away from him.
"Erm...you." Kimi looked away from Phil. Had she really just given him an indication of how she felt about him?
"Me? You're fond of me? Seriously?" Phil asked hopefully.
"Yes." Kimi replied.
"Wow. I never knew you liked me so much. I adore you Kimi. I...I've wanted to ask you out for a while and now...I don't have to be scared." Phil told her.
Kimi wheeled round and brought her arms up around him. Phil embraced her as they looked into each others eyes.
"Well now you can ask me." Kimi said.
"Okay, Kimi? Would you...go out with me?" Phil asked nervously.
"I'd love to Phil." Kimi told him as they neared each other.
Phil smiled and kissed her. Indeed, it was a beautiful sunset, one that Phil had realised. Just like how Kimi had realised it was the perfect time to reveal to him how she felt.
To Be Continued...

Yep, this chapter is a little on the short side.
I'm hitting the fast forward button and in chapter 10, Chuckie returns! He's back in High School much to Angelica's glee but will everyone be glad to see him back?
