The Gang's all here.
Terror Terra and Secrets.
It was coming up to the Christmas holidays. Everybody was excited about the festive spirit. What I meant to say was that everybody was going Christmas mad and it was only the first week in December. Girls wore tinsel in their hair and had over done the make up. Well only three girls had gone over on their make up. If you can't guess who they were: Terra, Katrina and Barbara. It was now to the point that they all wore the same clothes to school each day as each other and did their hair exactly the same. They thought they looked cool but they didn't hear the sniggers behind their backs. Recently they had been bugging the lads even more. They wanted dates for the Christmas ball two weeks from now. Every time Katrina walked past Richard she giggle at a high pitch.
"Hiya Robbie-poo."
And she always got the same response from him.
"Shut up and go away."
Then she would giggle again, try and do a flirtatious wink and smile but she just looked like she had a nervous twitch.
And Terra would always go up to Garfield and link onto his arm. Garfield would try shake her off but she seemed to be super glued to his arm. And when Rachel saw Terra groping at Gar's arm she would raise an eyebrow and Terra would stroke his arm and look into his eyes and stalk off, pushing past Rachel. Rachel and Garfield got sick of this happening every time she saw him.
"Terra go and get your own boyfriend" Rachel would say to her when she pushed past.
"For your information Rachel, Garfield is my boyfriend. Why don't you go and get your own boyfriend?" Terra would smile at Rachel's face that looked like she was ready to kill. When Rachel would question Gar about what Terra was saying he would always deny it. Garfield didn't know what he felt for Terra. He knew he didn't love her but yet again he didn't hate her. But he knew he should. Then again he had feeling that she would do something to make him hate her so he wasn't worried about the feeling inside his stomach that told him to be her friend. He shook the thought of being Terra's friend out of his head and held tighter to Rachel who was walking next to him. He was walking her to the bus stop were she was meeting Kori to go to the mall. Kori was determined to get Rachel some more tops with sparkle on them. Rachel didn't have any choice so she agreed. They invited Lilly too but Lilly was going to a café with Chris that day and sleeping over at his house. Garfield walked back to his flat alone and sat down of the sofa with a bowl of potato chips and watched a TV movie.
Richard was at the Wayne mansion alone. Well all he had was Alfred to keep him company on this boring Saturday afternoon. Victor was trying to make amends with Jessie. She wasn't talking him because of the firework thing. He never talked to her once. Bee was trying to help Victor even though she was the problem. Kori and Rachel were busy doing something and Lilly and Chris were together. He had no other choice but to phone up Gar to see what he is doing. Don't get me wrong Richard's best friend was Garfield and he loved him like a brother but god did he get on his nerves. But Richard hadn't spent any quality time with just Garfield for ages so he picked up the phone and dialled his number.
"Hiya Gar, what you up to?"
"Nutin much you?" he wasn't quite talking right because his gob was still full of potato chips.
"Wanna meet up someplace and do something?"
"May as well. Just me and you?"
"Yup, I am all alone at my place and everyone else is busy. Park, play some football?"
"Yeah, see you there in bout fifteen minutes?"
"Fifteen minutes?"
"Yeah I gotta clean up a bit first."
"Right see you there"
Richard put the phone down and checked his appearance in his mirror. Lets just say he had the look to make the girls scream. He smiled and adjusted his dark glasses and ran his hand through his unruly hair. He went down stairs to the garage and hopped onto his motorbike. It took him ten minutes to get there because he was doing the speed limit. Before he got there he stopped off at a sporty shop and picked up a brand new pigskin. He had money to spare so why not?
Lilly got into her jeans like normal and a blue top with a jewelled star on the front. Her buffalo's occupied her feet and she threw over a thick black cardigan over her shoulders. Chris was picking her up any second now. He said they were going to 'Zen' it was a new café in town. He knew about her room being chinese based so he decided to take her to 'Zen' because it too was chinese based. He knew that she would love it. Next to her while she waiting for Chris was a large black bag that had her stuff for sleeping over at his house tonight. She was really nervous. She hadn't slept at his house nor had he slept at her house so she had butterflies fluttering in her stomach. When she heard the doorbell ring she nearly leapt out of her skin. She answered the door and Chris was stood there with his bright white smile flashing in the sun. She smiled sweetly at him then brushed her lips over his. She went back into the house and picked up the bag. Chris came in and sat down because Jayne told him to. Jayne took a liking to Chris. So every time he came he would have a conversation with him. When he finally finished they headed out the door and went to wait for a cab. First they were going back to Chris's house to put her bag there then they were walking to 'Zen' because it was only a few blocks away.
"Rachel you must come into this shop!"
Rachel looked up at the name of the shop that Kori was practically dancing outside of. She immediately took a disliking to this shop: 'Pink Power' not her kind of shop.
"Kori, No."
"Please? You may find something you like!"
"I am not wearing any thing from 'Pink Power' its more your shop than mine. You go in I will wait right here."
"If you won't go in than…well…oh okay I will be out in a bit." Kori ran into the shop and started to pick up anything pink, that was everything, and that was her size. Rachel rolled her eyes as she watched her best friend run wildly around the pink shop. Rachel stood there with no bags except the small black leather backpack that had her purse and everything else in that she would need. She was waiting there for about one minute before someone interrupted her train of thought. She turned to find Aaron there yet again.
"Leave me alone"
"Rachel, I want to talk to you"
"If only I wanted to listen."
"Please just have a normal conversation. You know like friends"
"When I am friends with you hell would be frozen over"
"Very funny. Just talk or my friends will take the mickey"
"What?" Rachel looked confused. Aaron had other friends from Roy?
"Them over there, they think you are my girlfriend. Just have a conversation with me then hug me good bye."
Rachel looked over to the group of lads who were all boggling at Aaron and Rachel; she looked back at Aaron who was pleading with her, with his eyes. Rachel shook her head.
"But I know what I can do to make them really take the mickey." Rachel smiled evilly and stalked off to the lads who looked shocked that she was walking towards them. She went up to what seemed like the ringleader and sat on his knee. She put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear.
"Available?"
"D…don't you go out with Aaron?"
"Do I hell, he is such I liar. So available?"
"For you yes"
"Tough I am taken by Garfield. Sorry if I got you excited"
She hit his arm when he tried to grab her arse when she got off his lap and walked away. She walked right into Aaron and smiled.
"Got the picture? Don't lie."
Aaron nodded but he still couldn't believe that Rachel could act like that. You know all flirty and sexy but Rachel was full of surprises, that's another reason why he loves her so much.
From behind a large plant two blue eyes watch this event. She even took out her phone and videoed the whole thing. She had to push back her long straight hair out of her eyes and blink a few times to make sure she wasn't dreaming this. Rachel flirting with other boys? Well she wasn't going to pass an opportunity like this. She came out from behind the plant and walked up to Rachel.
"Rachel, what would you do if I told Garfield what you just did?"
"He wouldn't believe you, and I didn't do anything wrong. Just proving a point."
"Right, whatever. Well would he believe me if I showed him the video I made?"
"You were following me around with a cam-corder?"
"No on my phone stupid!"
"You are just being stupid. You wouldn't show Gar a silly video of me asking some random guy if he is avaible would you really sink that low?"
"Wouldn't I?" Terra smiled evilly then walked off. As she was stalking off she thought about the possibilities. She also recorded it with audio but she was just going to show Gar the video with no sound. But Rachel just said that she actually asked the guy if he was avaible so she downloaded the sound onto the movie and got on the next bus to Gar's flat.
Kori came running out the shop. Rachel raised an eyebrow at her three bulging bags when Kori said she only got a couple of items. Rachel told Kori what Terra had said and what happened with her, Aaron and his friend. At first Kori was shocked but then she just laughed it off. Rachel was still worried about what would Terra do, but she thought, how much can a stupid blonde do? She carried on like normal and if Terra did show him the video then she would explain after. They walked past a shop that Rachel was drawn to. It had red tinted windows and had lots of dark looking clothes on the other side of the glass. The shop was called 'Jet' she walked in and saw lots of tops that she would love to have but she promised only dressy tops or outfits. She was browsing through some black trousers when Kori came rushing over to her with her hands of hangers all with different styles of tops, trouser, skirts and even a dress that Rachel already ruled out.
Victor had Jessie locked up in her room. And she didn't say anything except when she snapped back at them.
"Jessie, Bee is my girlfriend. I wanted to and I had to spend time with her. I know I said I would take you too but you know…Bee is my girl not you."
"You so know how to make me feel better don't you? I appreciate that Bee is your girlfriend but that gives you no reason to totally block me out for the whole night!"
"Jessie, open the door. I don't want to shout through it anymore." Bee said in a calm voice trying to get her to calm down but she was actually glad that Jessie was in a mood with Victor.
"Tough, get used to it. Victor is my friend Bee, you are so controlling!"
"So it's my fault?"
"Yes, it is. Deal with it. You know Victor can have other friends than just you!"
"Look who's speaking. I'm not the one who is throwing a hissy fit because he didn't pay attention to me."
"Don't pin this on me!"
"What do you mean? You are pinning this on me!"
"That's because you are the true reason that this is happening. Victor had is own life you know!"
"I know that but do you?"
"GIRLS GIRLS! Chill y'all! Jinx open this dam door before I break it down!"
"Yes, go on Bee's side Victor! I knew you would. Don't be scared to go against her word. Rebel Victor! Rebel!"
"You are just sounding like a freak Jessie! I don't you dare tell my boyfriend what to do. Just because you are jealous!"
"ENOUGH! Jinx open this door now!"
They heard a loud sigh and Jessie walked to the door unlocked it and walked out.
"Happy now?"
"Right. Ok. Jessie I am sorry I ignored you but as I said before Bee is my girlfriend she comes first."
"Did she tell you to say that?"
Bee wanted to hit Jessie but controlled her self.
Lilly sat down on one of the black chairs and Chris sat opposite her. On the round white table there was bamboo place mats and chopsticks on the side. In the middle on the table there was a black kettle that was squared shape and had a bamboo handle instead of a metal one and two cup that were also black and squared with the bamboo handles. Lilly loved it, she had always thought that chinese traditions were great. Once you had drunk your tea there was and ornate garden outside with lots of fountain and streams with little wooden bridges over them and small gazebos littered around the lawn. Luckily it was nice and sunny outside so they could visit the garden after their tea and small bowl of flavoured rice.
Terra got off at his flat and asked at the desk of which room was his. She thanked the lady on the desk and climbed the stairs to his room. She knocked a couple of times before she noticed a white piece of paper taped to the door.
To Rach,
Gone to the park with Richard. Be back soon. If you need me come to the park. Hope you had a good shopping trip see you soon
Gar xxx
Terra smiled at the notice and took it down. Shoved it in her pocket and walked back out and made her way to the park to confront him.
"Heya Richard. What took you so long?"
"Went to the shop got new football. Go on."
"Go on what?"
"Go long!"
"Oh right." Garfield ran back and held his hands out in front of him to catch the ball. They were playing this for about twenty minutes before Terra showed up.
"Hi Gar!" she said in a higher voice then usual.
"Go away Terra."
"I only have something to tell you about Rachel. Don't you want to know?" when Garfield heard Rachel's name he turned and looked at Terra.
"What about Rachel?"
"Oh that she was flirting with Aaron and one of his friends."
"She wouldn't. Why would I believe you Terra?"
"Cause I got proof." She picked the phone out of her pocket and turned it on. She showed Garfield the movie, she loved the way his eyes grew wider and wider when he saw Rachel was doing. Terra forgot to turn on the sound so he only saw what happened.
"I can't believe that Rachel would do that!"
"Well you better had because you just saw it. With your very own eyes."
Richard who was looking over Garfield's shoulder was also shocked at the behaviour of Rachel. Rachel was like a sister to him and he never thought that she would do that!
"I don't know what to say." Richard said quietly
"Say nothing. I'm going home and waiting for Rachel. Terra give me your phone."
"Why?"
"Because I can show it, I don't want her to lie to me. And I need to speak to her alone" Terra gave him her phone and stalked of being happy with herself. Richard picked up the football patted Garfield on the back and left.
Garfield was furious. He was going to be even more furious if Rachel lies to him too. He stormed upstairs and saw that Terra took the notice. He slammed opened the door and slammed it back closed. He threw himself down on the sofa and glared angrily at the door waiting for her to return.
Rachel got five tops and three pairs of pants from the shop called 'Jet' they all had some sparkle but not too much and still had goth written all over them. She said good-bye to Kori who was going over to Richards to show him all the new clothes. She had also got a top from 'Jet', black and pink in horizontal stripes, it was a strapless top too. Rachel walked into her block of flats and made her way up-stairs. She put down all her bags to open the door, when she did she saw Garfield staring at her. She smiled but he didn't smile back. She put all her bags on the side and closed the door.
"Rachel, sit down." Rachel could tell by the way Garfield was talking to her that Terra had told him. She sighed and sat down.
"Did you flirt with other lads today?"
"No"
"Liar!"
"I was proving a point."
"Yeah, proving that you are probably cheating on me for all I know."
"What?"
"I have proof. A video. Do not deny it Rachel. Don't lie to me. Even though it is too late."
"I am telling you that you don't understand…"
"No, I am telling you. You don't understand Rachel."
"Did Terra tell you?"
"Yes but that doesn't matter."
"Oh but it does matter Garfield, it does!"
Rachel began to get angry. She knew that Garfield had every right to be angry with her but he could at least let her explain. He didn't know the whole story.
"Why does it matter Rachel? You are the one who is flirting with other lads!"
"No, it matters because you would rather believe that blonde bimbo instead of your own girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend? Huh whatever. Actually no. This is the end Rachel! I know it seems pathetic but you don't know how much it hurts to know that I trusted you!"
"No Gar, if you really trusted me, then you would believe me and listen to what I have to say. If you really loved me then you let me explain instead of just judging me from a silly video that Terra took! No Gar! I finish it." Rachel grabbed her bags and stormed out. Garfield knew that he should stop her and that they were just both angry and confused and that it wasn't that bad but anger clouded his mind. So instead of going after her he threw a cushion at the door that she just slammed. He sunk back down onto the sofa and looked at the phone on the coffee table. He picked it back up and watched the video a few times. He didn't know how Rachel could say that she wasn't flirting. It was in plain view. When he saw watching it for the tenth time he noticed that there was audio. He turned the volume up and replayed the movie back. When it was finished he knew what Rachel was going on about. He now understood why she did it. She wasn't flirting she was pissing off Aaron. He felt so stupid for not letting her explain and he felt a sudden rush an utmost hatred for Terra. How dare she try and spilt them up. He knew that he would have to find Rachel. He didn't know where she would go though. Kori was out with Richard and Lilly was with Chris and Victor, Bee and Jessie were all busy so he grabbed his coat and prayed she hadn't gone far.
Rachel stomped out of the block of flats and walked all the way to her favourite café. Dark Angel. It was quite far away from he flats but because she was so angry she didn't seem to notice the distance. She went in and sat down on the table right at the back. As she sat waiting for her herbal tea, she remembered when Garfield took her here and they sat where she was sitting right now. She wanted to hang her head and feel sorry for herself maybe even let her eyes fill with water, not cry, Rachel never cries. But she thought of Terra and Gar together, so held her head high and tried look as if nothing happened. A tall girl placed the cup on her table and walked away without even saying anything. Rachel slowly drank her tea; she didn't take her eyes of the black wall. She didn't even speak when the waitress came back for the money. Rachel silently got the money placed it in her hand and picked the cup back up and drank again.
Garfield looked all over the nearest cafés and teashops. Then he went a bit further out. He was walking down a long road that had nothing on it. Just plain grey walls and no windows. He weirdly recognised the road, like a memory, when he saw in the distance the small a small black sign coming from the side of the building. Where he first took Rachel on an official date. Her favourite café, he didn't think she would go there because it was so far from the flats. He had to take the bus twice but he knew that when Rachel is mad she doesn't care how far she is walking, what she walking on or anything. He hurriedly walked up the bleak road and stood outside and looked through the windows. He saw Rachel sitting where they always sit. She had her back to him, but he knew it was her; the hair was a subtle hint. He went trough the door and walked up to her, he was just about to speak when she turned on him.
"What are you doing here?"
Garfield was taken aback by her knowing that he was there before he said anything, but she could always do things like that. You know, sort of know what you are going to say next and things like that.
"I had come to find you"
"I could of guessed that, I meant why?"
"Well, I know you aren't cheating"
"Right, whatever." She said sounding totally uninterested, and then she turned her back to him again. He scooted around her and sat opposite her.
"Just like old times huh?"
"Nope"
"What do you mean nope? Don't you remember when I would take you here, and we would sit in these very seats."
"Of course I do, but then I thought I loved you. Not anymore."
"I admit it Rach, I made a mistake, as in totally nearly blow the world up mistake, but I know now. Please understand."
"You want me to understand? How about when I wanted you to understand, would you listen? No. So do you think that I will listen?"
"I guess not."
"Correct."
For this whole conversation Rachel couldn't make eye contact with him. She kept her eyes on the wall. She knew that if she looked in to his jungle eyes she would forgive and forget, but it wasn't that simple, so her eyes were glues to the wall.
"Rachel look at, at least look at me!"
"I can't Garfield."
"Why not?"
"Because if I do, and I see your eyes I will fall back in love with you, just like the first time, okay?" Rachel put her hands over her mouth and jumped out of her seat. She didn't care that everyone was looking at her. She grabbed her bags again left a tip and walked out. Before she walked out she mumbled
"I have got to go."
Garfield just looked at where Rachel was sat and stared. People stopped looking at him and slowly the noise rose back to a comfortable level. Still Garfield sat and stared, in the end the waitress had to tell him to leave and go after her. Garfield snapped out of his trance put some more tip on the table before running out of the café.
Chris and Lilly had their hands laced while they walked over the beautiful gardens. They came to a small river with a delicate wooden bridge going over it. Lilly looked at the dainty bridge and let out a small chuckle.
"What's so funny, Lilly?"
"If you think I'm going over that bridge you can think again. It would smash into millions of pieces if I stepped on it." Lilly said. She was laughing on the outside but really in side she thought that, that was really depressing. She let out a sigh when Chris shook his head and pulled her over the bridge with him. She was getting ready for the crash and for the cold water to splash up her legs. But it never came. When she was on the other side, Chris smiled at her surprised face.
"See, you aren't as heavy as you think you are."
"Yes I am."
"So why didn't the bridge break then?"
Lilly paused and thought that maybe she wasn't as big as she thought she was. She was going to smile but she looked down at her front and all she saw was flab so she said nothing but took her hand away from Chris's and walked to the gazebo. She lent on the railing and sighed. Chris raised an eyebrow and walked up to her. He looked down into her deep blue eyes but was surprised to see a hint of grey was included in her beautiful eyes.
"Chris…"
"You aren't breaking up with me are you?"
Lilly just sighed. Her secret was coming out, but she wouldn't allow it.
"Yes, I am sorry Chris. I have had the time of my life with you and I really do love you…"
"Then why?"
"You think you love me, but you don't. Its all pity and I don't want it." Lilly sighed again. She didn't want to do this but she had no choice.
"You shouldn't ruin your reputation by going out with me. I'm not good for you Chris trust me. I am not what I look like."
"I know that, you are magical, I don't know what it is but I know that I do love you Lilly, and if you love me too then there is no reason to split." When he said this Lilly just wanted to tell him but she couldn't. It was wrong of her to go out with him anyway. That was breaking the rules but he was so sweet. She knew if she stayed with him then she would let it slip and if he knew then he defiantly wouldn't want to be with her anymore. Lilly looked into his eyes and saw him looking into hers. She could tell that her eyes were now grey again because of the look on his face.
"Are you getting forced to do this?"
"Sort of."
"Don't give in Lilly. I made your eyes the most enchanting blue ever, don't let them become grey again."
"It's too late Chris. I have a secret. If I stay with you and I tell you then you would never want to be with me ever again. I can't tell you that secret Chris."
"Then don't tell me. But don't split with me Lilly. That is not going to stop me."
"You are sweet Chris but nobody knows what I truly am. I am a fraud."
"I don't care if you are in the drug market Lilly, don't leave me."
Lilly looked out over the garden that was lay ahead of her. Her secret troubled her. She didn't want to say it but she defiantly wouldn't want to dump Chris. Her head was full of images. There was the happy one with Chris in a small but nice house and she was still friends with everyone, they weren't rich but they were happy. But that flickered with the other image of her with a big house, great car and the money to get anything she ever wanted but she wasn't truly happy. She had her grey eyes and hair in front of her face while the other she had her magical eyes and she had her head held up high. And was that a real smile and I true laugh? She knew that she had to chose one or the other. She knows the one she wanted, but her family want her to take the other. Get a good job then you could have anything you want, except happiness.
Chris looked at her and knew that she was thinking so he put his hand over hers on the railing and squeezed it softly. Chris turned Lilly so she looked at him and met her lips with his, at first she stood up straight but then she melted into him. They broke apart and Lilly held onto Chris tightly.
"When I can tell you, will you leave me?"
"No"
"What if it is really really bad."
"No"
"What if…"
"Lilly, whatever you were going to say I am going to say the same thing. The only reason I would leave you is if this is just an act and you don't really love me" Lilly's eyes widened abit and she bit her lip. She did love Chris but would he see it that way when she could finally tell him?
Another chappie done. Well wat do you know. Two big turns in one chappie, that I sed might not have any turns in it. Well you are never going to know what happens next unless you review! Will Lilly tell Chris her secret? Will Rach and Gar get back together again? Find out in the nxt chappie! ps yes i know tht Rachel was abit ooc but i just wrote it! i also know that Rachel wouldn't do that, you flirt to prove a point but it sort of works out in the end.TOODLE POP
