Sorry it took me a while. I have been really busy. But here it is. Part 8. I hope you all enjoy it!
With Carlos and Jake in room 2J, "Wow," Jake said to Carlos as he went to sit on the couch, "I still can't believe how awesome this apartment is."
"I know right?" Carlos replied as he went to sit next to Jake, "my favorite part is the swirly slide!"
"Me too!" Jake said sitting up, and then relaxed, "man, you must get a lot of girls with this apartment."
The smile on Carlos' face disappeared, "Well, actually, I don't get many girls."
"What?" Jake shouted seeming surprised by this, "Are you serious?"
"It's true," he said sadly, "they just don't think that I'm cool or things like that."
"Wow." Jake said
"Do you have a special girl?" Carlos said changing the subject noticing the awkward tension in the air.
"Surprisingly no," Jake said, "they think basically the same things about me as they do about you."
"Dang," Carlos replied, "Wait?" He said a little eagerly, "What about that girl who came with you guys?"
"You mean Hayley?"
"Yeah, her. What going on wit you two?" Carlos said hoping to get a reaction out of him.
"Nothing," Jake said turning around so that Carlos wouldn't see him blush.
"If you're just friends," Carlos began, "then why are you blushing?"
"I'm not blushing," Jake said blushing even more.
"Don't be ashamed," Carlos said, "You can tell Carlos anything."
Jake turned around to face Carlos, "Ok," he began to say clearly defeated, "the truth is, I really like Hayley. I have since the day I first saw her."
"I see." Carlos said in a mock Dr. Phil sort of way.
"It's just, I don't know how she feels about me. And I don't want to freak her out, you know. It will just make things awkward between us."
"Uh-huh," Carlos said to himself, then he spoke out loud, "well, maybe she does feel the same way but she does feel the same way but she just hasn't had the nerve to tell you."
"You really think so?" Jake asked Carlos
"How would I know!" Carlos said in his usual way grabbing his helmet in the process, "I'm not an expert on girls!"
"Dude!" Jake shouted, "Calm down! It's alright!"
"Sorry!" he said apologetically, "hey I know!" he said clearly getting excited, "Hayley is with Camille at the gym right now. Why don't I just call her and ask her if she knows anything." He said as he went to pull out his phone when Jake grabbed his wrist meaning for him to stop.
"Wait," he said as he still had a grip on Carlos' arm, then he let go, "I have a faster way." Then he talked into his watch-com calling for Hayley, "Hayley! Hayley!" He then saw Hayley appear on the screen.
"Jake! What's wrong? Where's the monster?" She asked him concerned
Jake then whispered to Hayley not wanting Carlos to overhear even though he was in the kitchen looking for the corn dogs, "How come every time that I call you on here, you think there's a monster?" Jake asked offended at Hayley's previous accusation.
"No reason," she said simply, "Now, what do you want?"
"I need to talk to Camille." He replied plainly.
"Ok," she said back.
"Give her the watch-com and tell her to go into another room." Jake said to Hayley
Hayley looked confused as to why Jake didn't want her to over hear the conversation, "Why?" she asked him.
"No reason," Jake replied in a tone that was mimicking Hayley's.
Hayley just rolled her eyes and agreed, "Fine. Hey Camille," she said to her friend who was over by the mini fridge grabbing waters for the both of them, "come here!"
Camille picked up the two waters and then walked over to where Hayley was standing; "Yeah?" she said when she arrived.
"Jake wants to talk to you."
"Where's your phone?" Camille asked clearly confused as to why Hayley didn't have a phone seeing as Jake was no where in the room.
"Not phone," Hayley said bluntly, "Watch-com."
"Watch-what?" Camille asked back
"Watch-com," Hayley repeated, "It's how Felix, Jake and I communicate with each other."
Camille seemed sort of interested in this, "Ah," she replied, "So, you can see AND hear each other with that?"
"Yeah," Hayley said to her, "Now, Jake wants me to have you go into another room with this so he can talk to you."
"Ok," Camille said as she grabbed the watch-com and entered another room. Then she placed the watch-com on her wrist and peered into it to see Jake looking back at her.
"Camille," Jake said, "Good."
"So," Camille said, "Hayley said that you wanted to talk to me."
"Yeah," Jake said and then started to get nervous causing him to say some words that didn't quite make much sense, "um, did Hayley, um, mention me, and uh, anything really, uh, you know, yeah."
Camille's face was pure confusion, "Actually, I don't know what you mean. What are you trying to ask me?"
Carlos, who overheard the whole conversation decided to help his friend out and interject, "Does Hayley like him?" he shouted into the watch-com at Camille.
Camille thought for a second, "Uh, now that I think about it, she did mention you, and Valentine's Day."
"The Eris Fairy?" Jake asked questioningly.
"Yeah," Camille replied, "and she told me that you got punched out after you said a bunch of stuff to her."
"Really?" Jake asked, "I totally forgot about that."
"Yeah, not only did she tell me what happened, but she told me exactly what you said to her."
Jake looked slightly shocked, "Wow, she really remembers all of that?"
"Yeah," Camille said with a smile on her face, "and it sounded pretty convincing to me?"
Jake was sort of happy at this that his face lit up with a smile, not too huge, but big enough to where Camille noticed, "Wow," was all he said, "So, does she like me?" He asked eagerly wanting to know the answer to the question that had always been bugging him.
"Um," Camille said nervously, "I don't think I'm allowed to tell you that."
"dang it," Jake said to himself disappointed.
"But," Camille spoke up, "she never said that I couldn't tell Carlos." She finished with a scheming look on her face.
Jake seemed to get the exact same look on his face as well, "Oh really?" he said, "Carlos, come here." He said to his friend who was now sitting on the couch watching some television.
"Yeah?" he said as he walked over to where Jake was standing.
Jake removed the watch-com from his wrist and handed it to Carlos as he spoke, "Take this watch-com so Camille can tell you something important."
"Ok," Carlos said taking the watch-com from Jake and looking into it, "Hey Camille." He said.
"Hey Carlos," she replied back, "Is Jake out of the room?"
Carlos looked around and saw Jake walk into another room and shut the door, "Yeah."
"Ok," Camille said, "Tell him that the answer is yes."
"Ok," Carlos said sort of confused as to what the question had been, "Bye Camille." He said before calling Jake back into the room to tell him what Camille had said.
"So," Jake said walking into the room, "what did she say?"
"She said that the answer is yes." Carlos replied while handing Jake his watch-com.
"Yes?" Jake asked. Carlos nodded. "Yes! She likes me!" Jake shouted with a huge smile. Then it faded as a realization hit him. "She like me. Dang it." He said softly as he slumped over to the couch and sat down.
