Chapter 5: The Truth
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Taranee's alarm clock was going off in Hay Lin's ear. She mumbled a bit and fumbled around trying to get her covers off. She finally broke free and stood up. The others were lying on the bed playing cards; they obviously woke up earlier.
"We thought we'd let you sleep," Taranee said cheerfully.
"Oh, that's okay, I don't mind," Hay Lin replied back.
"You want to play 'Go Fish'?" Will asked.
"No, that's ok. I'd rather take some time to think."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Cornelia asked.
"Not right now, but when I'm ready to, yes."
"Ok, well, we'll just stay put," Irma said.
I can't believe this, Hay Lin thought, I loved him, and he walked away. I can not believe he likes that fake! That stupid Kayla! How I despise her… but I know she can't help it. I just wish someone that I actually liked would like me! That Brett guy is so gross! He's got really pale skin and he's like 3 feet tall! It's nuts! Maybe if he got a decent hair-cut he'd look a little better… He's sort of scary to look at. I mean, he's so pale he looks almost like a ghost. He also always has the blue lines under his eyes which don't help much. He almost looks like he's malnourished. James though, he was perfect. It's not fair!
"HA! GO FISH!" Irma yelled bringing Hay Lin back to reality.
"What are you guys playing?" Hay Lin asked.
"'Go Fish, Movie Stars'," Cornelia replied.
"Oh, that explains it."
"You want to play?" Taranee asked.
"Sure… why not?" Hay Lin said.
Taranee gathered the cards and dealt them out again this time handing Hay Lin a pack. Hay Lin looked at her cards; they all had names starting with James!
"Please deal me again!" Hay Lin said.
"Ok…" Taranee said rolling her eyes.
"Thanks," Hay Lin said when Taranee handed her another pack of cards.
Hay Lin looked at these and the pictures. She had a Mary, Emily, Derek, and – one that looked a lot like Hay Lin, but her name was Wanda. There was also one more beside Wanda… 'Brett'. It looked an awful lot like the Brett from school. Hay Lin even jumped a bit when she saw it. The glance of a card that looked like her, beside someone who looked like Brett, was horrifying. They didn't look good together at all.
"Do you guys know of anyone who likes Brett? I thought there was a girl…" Hay Lin started.
"Yes, Samantha, remember?" Cornelia said.
"Oh, oh, yes. That's her. How could I forget? She always all over him! Geez… that's just gross. Who could like him?" Hay Lin announced.
"Obviously someone can…" Will said.
