Here lies chapter 3!
Chapter#3
I sat on my bed, looking through a catalog Sarah had said I should look at. She said It was the Gap season collection, and that I should pick out some things. I, personally hated everything in the catalog. But, I can't say no to her without her threatening to leave me! So, there I was, sitting on the bed, looking at preppy jackets and button up shirts. Not that I don't like pink, but…….actually, yah, I don't like pink. In fact, I HATE pink! Unless its on a girl, or a girls mini-skirt to be more exact. I like girls in mini-skirts. Sarah has the cutest mini skirt ever! Rayn doesn't wear mini skirts, why doesn't she wear mini-skirts? Why doesn't my best friend wear a mini-skirt? Why is my best friend a girl? Why do I over think everything?
I, have a problem with doing that.
Yesterday Rayn went out on a date I set her up on, with Marco, the evil Animorph! So, I was half looking through a catalog, and half waiting for her to call. Actually, Math correction, I was 1 looking through a catalog, 99 waiting for her to call. Not even 1, I wasn't even looking at the catalog, I was just flipping the page, thinking about other things.
Suddenly the phone rang, I jumped.
"Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllo?" I asked.
"Hey Alex, its Rayn"
"Ah yes, my vengeful friend, how'd the date go?"
"Good, uh….I….don't think the Animorphs are all bad." I was silent for a few moments.
"Uh……Rayn"
"Yah."
"Get the hell over here!"
"Don't call David!" She pleaded.
I sighed. "I won't. Just get over here."
"Promise you won't call anyone!"
"Rayn just…."
"PROMIS!"
"Just get…."
"I said promise damn you!"
"I promise, Now get the heck over here!" She giggled. "What?"
"You said heck!" I sighed. She is Soooooo immature! She thinks everything's funny. "Just….get over here!"
She giggled again. "Your so mad at me!"
"Are you high…..I said hang up the damn phone and get over here!"
The line went dead. I hung up and giggled.
Maybe I should straighten up my room, I mean, She hates it when rooms are messy. Not hers, she loves her room messy, 'comfortably messy' she calls it. But whenever mines messy she runs around picking things up and putting things away, nagging me to clean it, and asking what various objects were. Like my Snotty Rocky. It was a ball of green goo that look like snot, and it was super bouncy. I loved scaring teachers with it!
Last year, I put it on Mrs. Davis's chair. She sat on it, and nearly puked. She got Cory to throw it in the garbage, but when he dropped it in it bounced out and landed on her head. She shook around so much, the goo, and her hair, came off. Apparently she's bald.
"ALEX! RAYNS HERE!" My mom called. She had no problem that my best friend was a girl, mostly because I have a girlfriend. She'll let Rayn up in my room, but she won't let Sarah up there.
"SEND HER UP THEN!" I yelled, hiding some boxers in a drawer.
The door opened a crack. "Is it safe?" She asked. One time she walked in on me changing.
"Safe as it can get." She walked in slowly.
"Ah, you finally cleaned the place." She said, bouncing a snotty rocky.
"Amazing what I can do in five minutes." I mumbled loudly. She laughed. "So, what's the news girl, you have to spill all the gossip!" I said in my gay voice.
"I don't think Marco's evil, at all! I mean….he actually made me feel bad…I mean….never mind.."
"Just, tell me what happened from the beginning."
She sighed. "He picked me up from my house, I talked to him about the park the other day, he asked who everyone was, then we discussed David, I tripped and fell into the ditch….."
I interrupted "Backwards?" She nodded. I laughed.
"He helped me up, cracked a joke, and then we headed off again…"
"Seems normal. I mean, he could still be evi….."
"Don't interrupt so much, it's a bad habit! Anyway, I was freezing, and he actually put his jacket on me! I didn't even say anything."
I guess he didn't sound to evil. "Anything, special happen?" I said, raising my eyebrows at the word 'special'.
"He put his arm around my waist, I'm guessing because he was cold."
"ANK! Wrong answer! He wanted to hold you, he wants to kissssssssss you!" I teased. She slapped me in the arm. I made kissing noises. "He wuvs you! AWWW!"
"Shut up!" She said. "Do you want to hear this or not?" I chuckled, and nodded for her to go on. "After the movie, I was talking to him, and I asked him why we lost touch……" She trailed off.
"Go on…"
She looked at me, she looked like she did when Cory broke up with her. "I really hurt him, you know. If it wasn't for me, He wouldn't have felt so bad. I avoided him for months, I…..I just feel horrible for it. You know? Like, guilty, I want to literally throw up on myself, that's how bad I feel.
You know, Alex, If it wasn't for David, I wouldn't feel so horrible! I wouldn't have been so rude to Marco, and maybe….maybe we'd be something more….." She said quietly at the end. This was some deep shit we were treading into right here. She fiddled with the strings on her sweater.
"Hey, its not your fault, its Dav…."
"NO! Shit no, its all my fault! I've been so friggen scared of what David will do, I completely ruined what me and Marco had. He was at least decent enough to give me a chance to fix what I did." She said.
"Come here" I said, giving her a hug.
"You cheating fag!" I turned around.
"Sarah! Its not what it looks like,…" I said. To late, she stormed off. "I'll be right back Rayn." I said, she nodded and I took off after Sarah.
"SARAH!" I yelled, running down the stairs and out the door after her. I caught up with her about a block down the road. She had a scooter (which I wasn't aware they still made) When I looked at it, I realize it was the scooter I bought her a few years ago for her birthday. "Sarah!"
"Get lost Alex, go back to Rayn."
"There's nothing going on between us!"
"Bullshit!"
"Sarah! Will you just listen!" I said panting. I mean, common, at least get off the dam scooter. She stopped, dropped the scooter and looked at me.
"Fine, you want to talk, talk!"
"I'm not with Rayn, where just friends!"
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because you can trust me! She was just telling me about her date yesterday with Marco, and how horrible she felt for avoiding him. There…there wasn't anything…." I said panting. "I just hugged her. She's my best friend, I should be able to hug her when she's depressed" I said, slowly regaining breath.
"I was right to cheat on you!" she said. My heart skipped a beat right there. "Maybe I should just go to Cory! He hasn't pulled any of this!" I couldn't say anything. I just stared. "Your so pathetic" She said, grabbing the scooter and throwing it at me. "I don't want this anymore you jerk." She paused to straighten out her clothes. "I'll walk"
I fell to my knee's crying. She was cheating on me! And she just freaked on me, and nothing was happening! I put three long years into that dam relationship, and she cheats on me! I could have dated Rachel! But nope, I couldn't I was taken! How long has she been cheating?
I walked back to my room, and I didn't bother bringing the scooter, I didn't want anything to do with Sarah now. When I got there, Rayn was gone, and there was on a note on the bed that said "I've done enough".
Now, right there, my heart stopped.
By the way, Rayns Emo. If you havent figured it out yet, she is.
