I rushed into the girl's room, unaware of my surroundings. There stood Pim and Via,
staring at me wondering what was going on. Via had her left eyebrow raised, and Pim's eyes
were teary once again, concerned about me. I never thought Pim had a good side. I looked at
Via and she went over to me and hugged me, bracing herself for what might happen next. She
was a very good friend, but she would never be able to rise to Phil's friend limit. Nobody could.
He was an unforgettable person.
Pim just hugged me and walked out and whispered, " I told her everything. Except the whole love thing. " Then she pushed the door and strode out with her evil grin.
" Keely... I know how you feel. Pim told me everything about what happened yesterday in here. I feel horrible. "
" But you didn't do anything, " I said. She looked away from me and then looked back at me.
" I know, but you're my friend. I will be here for you whenever you need a girl talk. Remember that, okay? " she said, making me burst into tears. I just hugged her and cried on her shoulder. After about what seemed like an eternity, I came up only to throw up in the toilet.
I could tell Via thought it was gross, but I didn't think she minded that much. I was sad,
and she understood perfectly. Well, I didn't know for sure... I hadn't known her that long. But by
the look in her eyes I could see she was feeling sympathy for me. Growing up sucks!
" Keely, calm down, okay? He's not moving to HandsomeTown now, remember? He's staying here. What's wrong with you? " she asked me with her english accent. I thought it was cool the way she talked. It was so... different. When she says ' a ' it sounds like ' ahh '.
" I don't think I'm ready to tell you yet, " I said. She put her hands on her hips and looked me straight in the eye.
" Well, okay. If that's how you feel, " she said. Then I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to tell her.
" FINE! YOU GOT ME! " I yelled, causing her to lean against the wall in shock. She was confused... I could tell. " Keely... " but I cut her off.
" I ADMIT IT, OKAY! I LOVE PHIL DIFFY! I LOVE PHIL DIFFY! I LOVE PHIL DIFFY! " I had no idea what came over me, but I had to go on. I couldn't stop now.
" Keely... " but I cut her off again.
" I KNOW IT'S NOT NATURAL TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND, BUT I CAN'T HELP IT! I mean, who cares if I DO like him, huh? Who cares? I'm in love with Phil... that sexy hunk of future sunshine! I wanna grow up, get married, and have little Philly babies! WHO CARES! WHO CARES! "
That was it. I was done, and I felt a whole lot better, too. Via looked terrified and confused all at the same time. She just stood there, her eyes wide with terror and her eyebrows raised in confusion.
" Can I say something now? " she asked me.
" Sure. "
" Okay... first, it's okay if you're in love with your best friend, so don't stress. Two, you need to tell him. And three... " she said, pausing before finishing her sentence.
" Yeah? " I asked, eager for her to continue.
" You need to calm down. Don't freak, like you just did. But I bet you feel better, right? "
she asked me.
" YES! I DO! " I yelled, hugging her and starting to cry.
Then, of all times, the bell rang. I wanted to murder it. I hadn't finished talking about everything on my mind yet.
" Okay, Keely... let's continue this after school. Good thing this is last period, " she said.
I sighed in relief.
" Come over to my place after school. Since my mom's not home for two hours when we get out, we'll have plenty of time to talk. "
I sniffed and said okay.
" Okay. See you then, " I said, sucking up my tears. Then we walked side by side to
class, not mentioning anything that just went on.
