Chapter 5-Moving On

So, as I told you, I'm moving on now. We'll see where I'll go from there. My friends are very supportive. I love them so much, especially Chandler. I don't love Chandler like LOVE love. I love him as a friend. He's been great, he would check on me all the time. You know he truly cares.

I don't like to be pitied on. But everything around me is just falling apart. Everyone just feels sorry for me.

So, we're juniors now. This sucks. Life became even more stressful. Projects, reports, home works, reviews, everything is becoming a mess. But I just have to deal with it.

"Look whose late…." Ms. Adams, my math teacher said as I came in the classroom 10 minutes late. "Ms. Geller, where's your pass?" she asked me. Damn it, another detention.

"Do I really have to get one?" I pouted a little

"Well, you're late, right?"

"But it's raining. The traffic was horrible." It's my excuse. The "my-alarm-didn't-go-off" excuse is totally overrated with Ms. Adams

"But somehow the rest of my class came on time"

"Okay fine" I pouted and turned my back to go to the attendance office.

"I'm just kidding Monica. There's no tardy policy today because of the heavy rains. You can go to your seat now" She said with a huge smile then she winked at me.

I like her, she's kind of nice. But she has her moods. I love this class. Well, its math, and I sit beside Chandler.

I went to my seat and saw Chandler laughing at me. I stuck my tongue out and he reciprocated what I did.

"Mr. Bing, can you please do problem number 3 from the homework on the board." The teacher said. Well, Chandler never do his homework, we'll see how this works.

Chandler kicked my leg asking for my homework. How can I resist that cute face? Wow, I think I'm having a crush on him again. I handed him my notebook while the teacher wasn't looking.

Chandler went up to the board and did the problem.

"Well, done Chandler. So you understand it now?" The teacher said and Chandler nodded and smiled at the teacher proudly. He's so cute! But I don't really think he understands the lesson. "Okay, you can go back to your seat now"

Chandler went back to his seat and handed me my notebook back.

"Thanks a lot, you're a savior" he said and high fives me.

"No problem." I said and winked at him.

"So, now all you have to do is teach me"

"Ha-ha. I knew that was coming"

So I taught him how to do it. He's so cute! Uh-oh, Old feelings coming back!

"Okay Mon, its really not that hard"

"Exactly, you just don't listen to the teacher"

"Why would I need a teacher if I have you?"

"Don't push your luck Chandler Bing"

"Sorry" he said shyly and smiled at me. Then he did the work that we're supposed to do.

Seriously, I think I'm having a crush on him again. Too bad he has a girl friend. But why can't it be me? Well, now I'm becoming too ambitious.

The bell rang, finally.

"So Mon, you have Chem next, right? Sucks…. Good luck, I heard we'll have a lab test"

"Yup… you have it 3rd right?" I said he nodded "You ready for it?"

"Well, duh. Of course not" Chandler said stating the obvious.

I have to laugh at this. Seriously, he's so cute.

"Okay, I have to go now. See yah later, dude"

"Later MonMon!" he said and gave me a quick hug

I love it when he calls me Mon Mon. It's just so cute!

Time flew so fast. Lunch time! Yay! It's time to mingle and socialize with my dearest friends.

Okay, now I'm really bummed. Phoebe is with Mike, Rachel is with Ross, Joey is with his girl of the week, and Chandler is with Elisa. I'm sitting here all by myself. We may be sitting in one table, but no one's talking to me. They are all busy "keeping each other busy." This sucks.

Now I think I'm absentmindedly staring at Chandler and Elisa. Jealousy runs through my body. They look so contented with each other. They look so happy. Maybe now I'm just happy for Chandler. No, I don't think so. It's still jealousy.

I'm really amazed with me and Elisa being civil for spending time with each other. God, I just hate her. We completely forgot about how we became enemies. But maybe we just really hate each other.

"Earth to Monica" Rachel said disturbing me from my thoughts.

"What?"

"I said would you like to go to the rest room with me?"

"Yeah sure"

"Why are you so quiet and distant today?" She asked me while going to the girl's rest room

"I don't know. I'm just not in the mood to talk"

"Monica, tell me what's wrong"

"Nothing's wrong, Rach"

"I know you better than that"

"Okay, fine. I think I have a crush on someone" oops, big mistake.

"Who"

"Never mind, Rachel, it's not important"

"Mon, I can be a gossip queen. But I'll never gossip on you"

"Okay fine" might as well, she's my best friend. I think I can trust her "But promise me you won't tell anyone"

"I promise…. So, who is it?"

"Chandler" I whispered to her

"Oh my God" Rachel squealed and threw her arms around me "That's so great"

"Err, not really" I said "I think you're forgetting he has a girl friend"

"Oh yeah, but hell, screw that bitch! You two are SO meant for each other!"

"Yeah, right, whatever" I said sadly and a little disappointed

"Seriously, Mon. One time, Ross and I were thinking about you guys… then he said that you and Chandler look good with each other. And that he likes him for you because he knows that Chandler really cares for you. Monica, you and Chandler have been really close since you two first met, you both care about each other, eventually, you'll realize that you're going to be together"

"Yeah I hope so"

"Things will fall in to place, Mon. If it was meant to be, it will happen, but if not, better things will happen instead"

"Thanks, Rach" I said and hugged her. I was really touched with what she said.

"Any time, Mon"

We went back to the rest of them. They were all talking and giggling, and laughing.

"What are you guys talking about?" Rachel asked as she went back to her seat

"We were just reminiscing about memories when we were younger" Chandler said

"Oh" I said

"Remember when Chandler pushed Monica in the pool?"

"Yeah" Chandler said while laughing uncontrollably

"You guys think that was funny?" I said acting a bit hurt

"You got to admit it, Mon. It was kinda funny" Chandler said

"As I distinctly remember Chandler, we were at an Easter cook out and then we went Easter Egg Hunting, then you were losing, and then you can't accept that I was winning, so you took one of my eggs and pushed me in the pool. You think that was funny?" I said still acting as if I was hurt, but deep inside I wanted to laugh so bad.

Mike, Joey's girl, I really forgot her name, and Elisa can't relate with what we're talking about. They were so left out.

"Yes" he laughed even more. Then he stopped. "But seriously Mon, you know we were kids, and stupid…. But you do know I still love you and you're my best friend, right?"

"Yeah… and yes, it was really funny" I said, smiling like I'm crazy. He said he loves me, but of course he didn't mean it. Maybe just as friends, though. I don't know.

"Oh and remember when Chandler lifted Monica's skirt?" Joey said

"Yeah, and then Monica cried" Rachel added

"Monica cries at everything" Ross said

"No I don't!" I said defensively

Everyone looked at me, except Elisa and Joey's new girl

"What!" I asked

Then we all cracked up. (Except for Elisa, of course, why does she have to here anyways?)

This is what I love, my friends. They're so great. They make me laugh all the time. I have everything I could ask for right now. Probably not, but I still have Chandler, just as a friend though.

Time really passed by quickly. It's already time to go home. Should I walk or be engrossed with my best friend and my brother making out? Tough decision But I can't walk because it's raining.

Tough decision.

I walked to my locker to put my book back. I got the stuff that I needed and went out of the school. I still haven't decided. I seriously do not want to ride with my brother.

I saw Chandler sitting on one of the steps in the school parking lot.

"Chandler, what's wrong?" I asked. There must have been something wrong with him He's sitting here, alone.

"Uh, I broke up with El" He said, looking sad and happy. Confusing, I know.

"Why?" I asked

"I don't really want to talk about it right now" then he looked at me and smiled weakly "So, Are you waiting for Ross?"

"Eh. I don't really want to ride with them right now. I don't want to be engrossed"

"I understand. And I'm pretty sure you don't want to walk. Need a ride?"

"Thanks, Chandler! I owe you big time" I said and hugged him

"You don't owe me anything. You saved my life in math, remember?"

"Oh yeah!" I said as we walked to his car

We rode in silence since we left school to my house. Well, not really in silence because we were listening to the radio. We finally reached my house.

"Thanks for the ride, Chandler!"

"Uh, no problem, Mon. Oh and Mon,"

"Yeah?"

"Never mind. I'll call you later, okay?"

"Sure"

That was weird. But hey! Chandler and Elisa broke up maybe because of me. Don't get your hopes high, Monica Geller.

Days have passed by we were still closer as ever. We're just 7 people hanging out with each other and 5 best friends who never forgot what they've gone through. Pretty soon, Mike and Ross will be our best friends too. But of course, they're not part of the "original" group, but still we still consider them as family.

Chandler nudged me during while we were in class. I looked at him then he passed a note to me.

Monica,

Can we talk after school?

Chan

What! Why? I'm confused.

Sure. I wrote back

Okay, at Starbucks. My treat. I'll give you a ride. He wrote back

Okay. I'll look forward to it I wrote back.

You sure will. It's Starbucks. You'll never turn my offer down he wrote back. Now I have to laugh at this. He knows me too well.

Of course I have something to look forward to. Time went fast very quickly today. I was putting my stuff in my locker I was talking to Rachel. I don't think I'm going to tell him just yet that Chandler and I are going to Starbucks after school. She will come for sure.

"So Mon, mall after school?"

"Um, sure but no thanks"

"What!" she looked at me looking very confused

"I said I'm sorry I can't"

"Wow, turning me down, huh?"

"Sorry Rachel, not today. How about tomorrow?"

"Okay" she said happily

"Hey guys!" Chandler said draping hisarms over Rachel's and my shoulder.

"Hey Chandler" Rachel said "I gotta go now, Ross is waiting for me. Bye Mon, bye Chandler." She said and hugged me and Chandler.

"Hey Chandler" I said

"Hey! So ready to go?"

"Yeah" I said and we went to his car. The whole ride to Starbucks was kind of silent. We were just listening to the radio and having small talks once in a while.

We finally arrived at Starbucks. After ordering, we went to the seat we usually seat at when we chill there.

"So, what's this all about?" I asked him

"I just wanted to ask you something really important"

"Shoot"

"Um, Mon, You know…. You're a great friend, right? You're one of my best friends, and that's what makes you really special to me… um… I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's not everyday that someone like you comes my way. And you're such a great friend to me from the start. I know this is going to be awkward. And I know we're really great friends…."

"Chandler, you're going in circles. Go straight to the point" I said giving him a warm smile

"Monica, can we go out sometime, you know, like a date. You're like the perfect girl I've ever met. I don't get why guys break up with you"

Oh my God! This is it! What will I do now? Am I dreaming? Is this really happening? And I'm pretty sure our friendship is gong to be in trouble.

So keep a friendshipor take a risk?
