~A New Feeling~
For the next week, each class was not given out projects or work to take home. Many of the highschoolers said that it was easy.
Until the second week, that is...
~A New Feeling~
"Now for your assignment..." Mrs. Maryworth explained.
Mrs. Maryworth was a plump dark-skinned woman in her forties. Her brown hair was always in a little braid tied in bun. She always wore pink and white on her clothing. Today it was a vertical-striped dress with short sleeves and stopped at her knees. She taught American History part two for the Sophomore class. She was surprised that Caitlyn was able to pass her class when she didn't have American History part one.
A few of the students groaned at this, which made the teacher glared at them.
"I'm sorry, but you've been in school for over a week and it was bound to happen. Now hush up!"
The class quiet down after that threat, after all she was one of the feared teachers in the school.
"Now your assignment is a project with your partner. This is due next week, any day of that week. You're going to choose a topic that you learned last year. And how you're going to decide a topic..."
She grabbed a hat filled with little slips of paper in it. She shook up the hat to mix those pieces of paper. She came around with the hat as people choose their topics.
"You and your partner will have to research the topic and do triad poster report. This will have to have: what happened with the event you choose, who and what were involved and how, cause and effects of the event, how it has effect us today, and good picture of the event. Got that?"
The class nodded, understanding what their instructions were.
"Good. Each topic is from something you learned last year in American History part one with Mr. Leburn. From the Exploration Era to the Reconstruction Era. You may use what you learned last year in this project."
Brring!
"Class dismissed!"
~A New Feeling~
"What topic did we get?" Fanny asked Patton.
Fanny and Patton were walking down toward to the parking lot. Eversince they became friends, Fanny and Patton were as close as two friends can be. Unfortunately, the two didn't know much about each other. Plus, their secret feelingd for each other grew with each day passing.
Today, Fanny wore a short-sleeve green shirt with a light orange flower on the front, a lower thigh-length orange skirt, and white sandals. Patton wore a black solid short-sleeve shirt, dark jean shorts, and black tennis shoes.
"Uh..." Patton looked at the slip of paper he had drawn from history class, "'Hamilton vs. Jefferson'. Federalists vs. Republicans."
"Okay," Fanny nodded. "So what should we do?"
"How about if I come to your house this afternoon so we plan how we're doing the project?" Patton suggested.
"Uh, sure," Fanny replied, "but you'll have to let your mom know."
"I'll text her while we're in the car," Patton shrugged.
"Wait, you mean right now?" Fanny raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, so I can go home in time for dinner," Patton explained, opening the door marked 'EXIT' for Fanny.
Fanny nodded in understanding as she walked forward with Patton following her. She hoped Caitlyn can drop them off and they can make it her room without running into her mother. If she saw Patton, her mother would think that he was a boyfriend and say all the things mothers would say. Then, Fanny's mother would reach the uncomfortable subject of ... grandchildren.
Patton couldn't help but stare at Fanny. It seemed to be his thing that he enjoyed and did it most often. He couldn't believe that he liked one of the girls that he befriended at his new school, but he didn't say he liked it. He did like it, but he didn't want to say anything that could make him lose her or worst, say something that could lose her trust of him.
The two walked in silence as they appoarched Caitlyn's car. The driver herself was sitting in the driver's seat, hands on the wheel waiting for her two friends. Fanny took her normal seat in the passenger's seat while Patton took the back. The system was working good for them. After school they would hang out at the mall or Lime Rickey's, a soda bar joint where teens and kids hang out, until it was time to head home. Sometimes they would hang out at the park, just chatting about things.
"So where do you guys want to go today?" Caitlyn asked, snapping both of them out of their thoughts.
"We have a project due next week," Fanny explained.
"So we need to head over to Fanny's to discuss," Patton finished.
"Alright, mom and dad needs to talk about something anyway," Caitlyn shrugged, starting her car. "I'll just drop you guys off and I'll head on home."
Caitlyn backed out of the parking space and exited the parking lot.
~A New Feeling~
Fanny and Patton walked into a simple two-story house. They had walked into a hallway with stairs in front of them and a doorway where a couple of kids sitting on a couch, playing videogames.
One of the kids was a boy around thirteen who was a mere image of Fanny as a boy. Short frizzy orange hair, green eyes, and freckles. He wore a green shirt with blue jean shorts and was barefooted.
The other kid was a girl around the same age as the boy. Her white-blonde hair was in pigtails, tied with a pink ribbon. Her dark blue eyes were covered by a pair of pink-framed glasses. She wore a pink short-sleeve jacket cut-off over a black tank-top, a pink and black checkered skirt over pink leggings down to her knees, and pink ankle socks with white shoes with a pink strip along the side.
"Hey Paddy! Hey Charlie!" Fanny waved at the two teenagers.
"Oh hey Fanny," the two replied in unison, unfazed by her and focused on their game.
Suddenly, the game made a victorious sound. "Player 2 wins!"
"Yes!" the girl cheered at the same time the boy cried, "Noooo!"
The girl did a victory dance as the boy hit his head against the couch repeatedly. This made the two other teenagers chuckled at the two. The boy on the couch looked up and noticed Patton. He asked the first thing that came to his mind.
"Hey, Fanny? Is this your boyfriend?"
Fanny immediately blushed. "No, Paddy! This is Patton, my friend and partner."
The girl, that had stopped doing her victory dance, had her arms crossed and tapped her index finger on her temple. "Patton...Patton..." the girl muttered before brightened with her answer. "Oh yeah! Emily!"
"Huh?" Paddy had a confused look on his face.
"Remember Emily?" the girl rolled her eyes. "She said that your sister and her brother are friends, Paddy!"
"Oh yeah!" Paddy realized what she was getting. "Thanks for reminding me, Pigtails. Oh, and nice to meet you, Patton."
"Nice to meet you, too, uh..."
Fanny leaned in and and whispered, "Paddy..."
"Paddy!"
Fanny rolled her eyes at him with a smile.
"By the way, Paddy, you owe five bucks," the girl, who would be assumed 'Charlie', held her hand out to collect her fee.
"No, we said who won best two out of three gets paid by the loser!"
"No, we didn't! Fork the money over!"
Paddy looked over at his sister with pleadingly eyes. "Fanny, you know I-"
"I'm not giving you five dollars," Fanny rolled her eyes at her brother, who had to get his own wallet out to pay his friend. "Now where's mom?"
"She took Shawnie over to the store."
Fanny grabbed Patton by his wrist and dragged him up the stairs. "Good, we have a good thirty minutes to do this."
"Don't make too much racket up there," Charlie called suggestively.
"It's not what you think!" Patton and Fanny replied back in unison.
Fanny dragged Patton to her bedroom. A bed was set up against the wall in the middle of the room. Dresser across the room opposite of the bed in the corner and was next to a closet on one side and a window on the other. A night stand on each side of the bed, both with lamps. A desk sat near the entrance of the room. A little sofa sat near the window and near the bed.
"Nice place," Patton commented, walking to sit of the bed.
"Thanks." Fanny dropped her stuff at her desk, grabbing a notepad. She walked towards the bed and sat beside him. She illistrated the poster tiad on the notepad. "So how should we set it up?"
Patton grabbed the notepad and pen from her. "Actually, maybe we should take this time to get know each other a bit better."
"Okay, you start," Fanny gestured to him.
"Alright, first question: What does your parents do?"
"Me mom's a stay at home mother while meh father is in charge of this big corporation. What about yours?"
"My mom is a stay at home mom like yours and my dad is the manager of a gun store. He used to be in the army."
"Well, that's neat."
"Yeah, he wants me to be in the army."
Fanny blinked. His father wants Patton to follow in his footsteps? What if he dies in war? She would be deve-she shook her head-his family and friends would be devestated.
"Well, do you want to be that?" Fanny asked.
"I don't know," Patton shrugged. "I've always wanted to be police officer or something like that."
"Oh, cool."
"Yeah, what about you? What do you want to be?"
"A nurse. I've always been good with first aid."
"Oh cool. What's your...favorite color?"
"Light green. Or white."
"Neat. Mine is navy green or really dark greens."
The conversation went on like this for a good thirty minutes. They would laugh if something was funny and got sad if the subject was sad. Then, Patton asked for the answer to a really awkward subject when it can be.
"So have any boyfriends or had any?"
Fanny sound nothing, but she looked down in saddness. Patton noticed this and immediately regret asking.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I really sh-"
"No, you were right to ask," Fanny looked at him. "The truth is I never really had a boyfriend, but there were crushes I had on boys."
Like you...she thought
"What about you? Any girls?" Fanny asked.
"I've had girls interested in me, but I never was interested in any of them." Patton found himself looking into Fanny's green eyes. "I was waiting for the right girl."
Which I think I found...he thought.
Fanny, like Patton, found herself looking into Patton's dark eyes. Patton lifted his hand and gently placed a lock of her red hair behind her ear. He kept his hand there and with that, cupped her cheek to bring her face closer to his. Both close their eyes as their lips came closer towards the other. Once their lips had touch...
~We're close as friends can be. Sisters, you and me. I love you and you to me.~
Both broke apart as Fanny's phone rang from her purse. Fanny got up and walked to get to answer it.
"Who is it?" Patton asked still dazed.
"Caitlyn," Fanny replied, trying to shake off what just happened. She answered the phone. "Hey."
~A New Feeling~
Caitlyn just dropped her two best friends at Fanny's house. Yes, she considered Patton a best friend. And Fanny is like-no- is a sister to her. Might be good if they got together.
Caitlyn drove off to her house. When she had arrived, she locked her car and walked up to the front porch. She stuck her house key in the key hole and turned it open. She entered her home and heard conversation coming from the dining room. Caitlyn dropped her stuff on the couch and headed off to the room.
She walked in and saw her dad seated in one of the three chairs on one side of the table, talking to a couple.
Her parents and others had noted to her that Caitlyn got her looks from her father. Her father had dark tan skin, a darker than Caitlyn's. Black-brown hair cut short in a professional way sat atop on his head. His dark eyes was focus on the couple infront of him. He wore black business with a dark red tie tied around his neck and black loafers. He had musclar build that could be considered an athlete's body.
Caitlyn was surprised by the surprise guests at the dining table.
He was talking to a couple who was in their thirties. The man had tan skin, similiar to Caitlyn's. His brown hair was spiked up on the two sides of his head, leaving a bald spot in the middle. His outfit consisted of red suit with a goofy tie that make him look like a prankster. His dark eyes was focus on Caitlyn's father then they were focused on her.
The man's wife, she assumed, had light skin. Her short blonde hair that curled outward in the back. She wore a pink calf-length dress and carried a white purse. Her light blue eyes was focus on her father before turning to the girl in the doorway.
The couple wasn't the reason she was surprised. It was the teenage boy beside them. The boy was Chad, wearing a buttoned-up blue shirt and beige shorts. Her surprise quickly turned into anger as she calculated this. His expression also turned into anger as he stood up.
"What is she/he doing here?" Caitlyn and Chad exclaimed in unison, pointing their index fingers at each other. "Me! What are you doing here?"
This arguement made the other people in the room flinched with the two teens' shouting.
"I live here, Jerk!" Caitlyn pointed to herself, emphaisising the 'I' in her statement.
"Well, I'm a guest here, Geek!" Chad pointed to himself.
Caitlyn took a deep breath before turning to her dad. "Dad? What is this thing doing in our home?"
Her dad shook out of his daze before smiling. "This 'thing'," he quoted with his hands, "is this couple's son. His mom knows your mom."
Chad and Caitlyn blinked before saying in unison, "What?"
"That's right," a voice came from the kitchen entrance. Caitlyn's mom was standing there with a snack plate with a few drinks.
"Cathryn and I go back," Chad's mom commented.
Caitlyn's mom placed the plate in the middle of the table and sat by her husband.
"Come you two sit," Mrs. Tuttalu and Mrs. Dickson commanded in unison.
The two glared at each other before sitting by their mothers.
"Caitlyn, it's indoors," Caitlyn's mom commented, pointing to her daughter's outfit.
Today, Caitlyn had worn a black short-sleeve jacket with a matching black knee-length skirt.
"Take it off," her mother continued.
Caitlyn shrugged and took off the jacket. Only to reveal that she was wearing a red and black tie-die tank-top. Cathryn gasped at this.
"Caitlyn, you know I have a strict policy of wearing tank-tops in front of company!"
Caitlyn looked at her mom in a confused way. "Does the policy about wearing a tank top in front of company apply to your friend and her family? Does it send any messages?"
"Yes, Caitlyn," Cathryn replied, before pointing to the door. "Now go change. I have laid out what you should wear."
Caitlyn blinked. "You have laid out what to wear? What is this, 1999?"
"Just go!" Cathryn exlcaimed.
Caitlyn got up, grumbling to herself. What she missed was the amused smile on her worst enemy's face.
~A New Feeling~
Caitlyn stood in front of her mirror of her room. Her mom had left a note by the clothes she wore. Telling her how to wear her hair with the clothes her mother laid out.
The clothes was actually a black sleeve-less dress that stopped close to her knees. The dress was made out of satin with a dull inside. She wore black wedges, the types that she wore to diner parties and business diners. Her hair was curled into a bun high ontop of her head. BY choose, she wore a turquiouse flower necklace with matching earrings given to her by her grandmother on her dad's side.
She smiled as she examined herself in the mirror. Then, she remembered Chad was down there and her smile turned into a frown.
I wonder how Fanny and Patton are doing...
She picked up her phone and dialed Fanny's cell. It ring a couple of times, before she answered.
"Hey."
"Hi, guess who's mom is a long time friend of my mom."
"Who?"
"Chad's and right now he's downstairs with his parents talking to my parents."
The two had a little conversation before Caitlyn's mom called her.
"Caitlyn, come down here and show everyone what I picked out."
"Okay, mom," Caitlyn called back. "Listen, Fanny. I have to go. Talk to you later."
~A New Feeling~
Patton watched as Fanny talked to Caitlyn on her phone. He didn't hear any words because he was in his own world just staring at her.
When you can look at a girl who's saying something and you're hearing nothing, that's because you're in love with that girl, is always what his dad told him.
I can't be in love with Fanny, he thought. Sure, I really like her, but I can't...love her. Right?
"Alright, bye, Caitlyn," Fanny's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
"We should really be getting back to this project," Patton pointed out.
Fanny nodded, sitting beside him. She couldn't help it but feel her heartbeat quickened.
Okay, I really like him, she thought, but I can't help but feel like I'm in love with him. That's can't be right, right?
Both were pretty unsure with their feelings, but they were aware that this was a new feeling.
~A New Feeling~
Caitlyn walked into the dining room with her new outfit on.
"Aw, doesn't she look sweet?" Chad's dad commented.
"You know, your figure is what your mother had when she was your age," Chad's mom explained.
"There's my little girl," her dad stated.
"Now, that's what you should wear infront of company and you look beautiful," her mom smiled.
They all were looking at her.
I wonder what Chad thinks of this, she thought. Wait, where did that come from?
Caitlyn looked at Chad, who was gaping at her. She giggled at his expression. Chad's mother nudged him and his face returned to normal.
"You look...nice," Chad commented.
Caitlyn knew he wanted to say something else, but he didn't say because he was dating Kandy. Caitlyn felt a jealous pang that went down her spine.
Why do I feel jealous about Kandy and Chad dating? she thought. Sure, I felt angry, but never jealous. I can't be in love with Chad. Wait what? Where did that come from?
Caitlyn sat down and joined the conversation. She found out that the reason why she and Chad had all their classes together. Their parents set it up when they discovered that their children went to the same school. Chad and Caitlyn glared at them and crossed their arms.
Chad was in his own thoughts. She really does look beautiful, even more than Kandy wearing that kind of dress. I can't believe I'm in love with another girl when I'm going out with Kandy. Wait, did I just thought that I was in love with Caitlyn. Well, I am attracted to her, but I can't love her. Maybe I do, maybe I don't, but I do know that I really like her.
Four people, four new feelings. The question now, is will they ever admit it and get with the person they claim to not be in love with?
And done!
A/N:
-It seems I keep introducing OCs every chapter. But what's a story without OCs?
-Charlie makes her first appearance in the story! I wanted to add her in the story because she's funny and loves to have fun! Once again, Charlie is Divachick86's character!
-Aww...Fanny and Patton kissed but it was just for a moment! But I think we all were waiting for something like that to happen.
-The song Fanny's ringtone for Caitlyn is something I made up! I'm trying to create a very close friendship/almost sisters song and that part is part of the chorus!
-What's with all of the denial in the chapter? This isn't Egypt!
Trey: Yes it is!
Me: Shut up, Trey!
Trey: You know you love me!
Me: I can't stand you!
Trey: Hurtful!
-Again, thank you all for your reviews!
Well, you know what to do...
Trey: No, I don't.
Me: Not you!
Review...
Luv, Flutejrp
