Carly was at home, laying uncomfortably in her bed. She recalled the moment that Misty and Jack were leaving the classroom to have a chat with each other. What were they talking about? thought Carly. She tried to change her thoughts, since she became the girlfriend of Divine and so she has no business with Jack or whatsoever. This kind of thoughts are no good, reassured Carly herself. So with this final conclusion Carly could finally fall asleep.
Jack was lying at the same time in his own bed, reflecting his conservation with Misty. I guess I have no choice, thought Jack. Not soon after he fell asleep in his own bed.
~~The next day
When Carly walked on her way to school, she saw a crowd of people close to the gate chattering with each other. Carly was wondering what the commotion was about, when she saw to her shock something which she hoped never to see. She saw Misty and Jack holding each other's hand at the school gate. They looked like they were a couple in love. They were chatting with each other, while gazing in each other eyes.
This can't happen!thought Carly. Carly was surprised to have this kind of thoughts. Why would she worry? She is after all the girlfriend of Divine and she couldn't wish for a better boyfriend than Divine. With this thought Carly came back to her senses and she just passed the couple by like they were just air. It's not my business, reasurred Carly herself. On school terrain everyone can do what they want, since it's public domain.
Carly was not soon after accompanied by Divine. "I didn't know Jack and Misty were a couple," said Divine. "Me neither," said Carly. Divine was for some reason awaiting for more response. Is he expecting something of me? thought Carly. Carly was not sure what to say, but said things in line with: " It was quite surprising, isn't it? But don't you think they make a great couple?" Divine was for some reason pleased with Carly's answer. Carly was not sure why Divine was pleased with her answer, but let it slip. They don't have much time, since class is almost starting. Secretly Carly knew she will be feeling dreadful in the classroom, since she doesn't how to behave around Jack.
Maybe I should be rejoiced that Jack found an equal. They look like a match made from heaven. A girl like me could never be an equal to Jack. Carly became a little depressed by this thought, but came back to her senses.
During lunch Jack left the classroom, so he could have lunch with Misty outside. Everyone was looking outside the window, what Jack and Misty were up to. They were chatting happily with each other, while Jack put his arm around Misty's shoulder. Everyone in the classroom were shrieking and some boys shouted: "Way to go, Jack!" As a response Jack waved with his hand.
Carly wouldn't dare to watch outside the window. Luckily she was invited by Divine to have lunch together at Divine's desk, so Carly had lunch together with Divine. They happily talked about everything expect Jack and Misty. When lunch was over, Jack was at the classrooms door and he was still accompanied by Misty. Misty before parting to her own classroom, gave Jack a kiss on his mouth. All the girls and the boys in the class went crazy, while Carly stared blankly at the scence in front of her. Carly couldn't comprehend what happened in front of her. When suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.
Jack initially hoping to see a jealous Carly, saw to his horror a sad Carly in tears. Carly ashamed of her behaviour , ran out of class, not soon followed by Divine. Jack looked wonderstruck at the scene that occured in front of him. " I didn't ...didn't want to hurt Carly," stammered Jack. Misty who saw the concern in Jack's face, said: "Play it the way whe discussed it yesterday and then we will both get what we want." "But now it looks like Divine is going to comfort her. Wouldn't their bond become stronger?" "Don't be afraid," reassured Misty Jack. "We will both get what we want." As a final goodbye, Misty gave Jack a final kiss on his cheek. " I will see you tomorrow morning at the gate?" "Yes," said Jack unsure.
At the same time, Carly was crying in the girl's bathroom. The tears kept coming and Carly felt pain in her chest. Why does this hurt so much, thought Carly.
Divine called with a concerned voice: "Carly, how are doing? Are you ok?" Carly couldn't stop crying and whispered in a quiet voice: " I am fine..." Divine was worried how Carly was doing, so he opened the bathroom's door.
Carly could see the concerned expression on Divine's face, and was surprised that he was willing to go inside the girl's bathroom. "Carly, you dumb girl," said Divine while embracing Carly. Carly was surprised by Divine's action.
"You shouldn't worry about that stupid guy," said Divine with a saddened voice. By this, Carly knew that Divine knew that Carly was in love with Jack. "I can't help, but like him", said Carly while sniffling. "I am so sorry, Divine." Divine could only laugh. "That's why I said you were dumb."
Divine could see the tears still wellling up in Carly's eyes. "Don't cry, you silly girl." In order to comfort Carly, Divine kissed Carly's tears. "Why are you doing this," stammered Carly. "This is my way of comforting you and my final gift to you." What do you mean with that, Divine?" " I think we should ...break up," said Divine with a hurt expression, while he kept kissing Carly's tears. "What do you mean?" asked Carly. "We can't keep this up," Carly. "The one you love is not me, but that bastard." Carly understood what Divine meant and nodded. " I am so... sorry, Divine." Divine could only nod, when suddenly tears were welling up in his eyes as well. Carly felt so guilty. The only thing she could do was embracing him and saying "Sorry" over one hundred times, while they cried both.
