Well yeah...thank goodness it didn't suck that much (sweatdrop)! And I'm not through with this story yet...but I have to say...it is coming closer and closer to the end. This chapter is where all the pieces of the puzzle start to come together. Sooner or later you will have to face the fact that...(sniffles) this story will finish.
Caleb: (rolls eyes) Pssch, stop being so sappy
Me: Hey! It's getting very emotional, ok?!
Caleb: Tss, girls...but hey aren't you gonna tell them?
Me: Ooh yeah. Okay people, it's not official but...I'm thinking of making a sequel to this fiction since it's been such a big succes. What do you guys think?
Caleb: Well it's kinda obvious that everyone's gonna love it
Me: You know what? I'm so thinking of putting Cornelia with someone else right now (glares)
Caleb: OMG NO!!! (runs away)
Sequel? Yes or no?
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Hey Cornelia"
Cornelia opened her eyes and found herself in the same place where she and her promised boy last saw each other. She looked around and saw that her body had shrunk to her 5 year old self. She stood up and looked around.
"Cornelia! Don't just stand there. Turn around"
She turned around but saw nothing. "Hello? Please come out". She coughed when she heard her small 5 year old voice.
All of a sudden the little boy walked up to her and smiled wide. "Here I am, Cornelia!"
Cornelia frowned when she could see everything clear except for his face. She sighed and looked down.
"Aw, what's the matter?" the little boy leaned down to look at her face with a pout.
Cornelia looked up to him and sighed again, "Well...I just wish I knew who you were. I feel so ashamed that I don't remember your name or even what you look like. Can't you tell me something...? Or make your face more clear"
The little boy touched his face with a shocked expression, "What's wrong with my face?...And I already gave you a hint, Miss Forget A Lot. My name starts with a C!"
"But I don't know any boy with a name that starts with a C. Well except for Caleb bu-..." Cornelia's eyes widdened. Everything came back to her..
"Right…hey the little girl in the picture is the one you made the promise to, right?"
"Yeah, the blonde one with green eyes", Caleb nodded.
When she came back from her daydream she saw that the boy had a mirror facing her. She only saw her 5 year old body.
"Um..why do you have a mirror?"
"Look at your eyes..they're green, Cornelia!"
She looked into her eyes and gasped. She had forgotten that her eyes gradually changed as she got older. Then a flash of the little girl in Caleb's picture came to her mind. The little boy took the mirror away from his face and his face started to clear. Cornelia could now see piercing green eyes and she gasped.
"Oh my gosh...Caleb?...You're Caleb?!"
The little boy only smiled and said...
Cornelia
"Yes I'm here! Tell me, are you Caleb?"
Cornelia wake up
The little boy started to fade away as he waved. "No wait! Please! Just answer me!"
Heeeey! Cornelia!
Cornelia's blue eyes shot opened to see the same piercing green eyes she saw in the little boy. She blinked, sat up, and looked up at Caleb with wide eyes.
"Cornelia, are you ok…? Why are you looking at me like that?" Caleb asked in confusion as he sat on her bed.
"I-It was you..." Cornelia whispered with shaky hands.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Caleb asked as he tucked some of her blonde hair behind her ear.
Cornelia opened her mouth to talk, but someone knocked on the door. Cornelia looked down and Caleb's eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"Hey Cornelia! Are you up yet?" Elyon's voice rang.
Cornelia was about to speak but Caleb cut her off. "Elyon not now. We're talking!"
"Psch, I wasn't talking to you. I'm asking Cornelia. Can you come to Starbucks?"
"Yeah, I'll be out in a few", Cornelia replied as she got out of bed while Caleb had a shocked expression.
"Alrighty! When you're done go to the parking lot in Irma's car; we'll be waiting", Elyon said and left the hall.
Caleb stood up and crossed his arms as he watched her pick out clothes. "Did I do something wrong?"
Cornelia turned to him and smiled, "Nope". She got the last of her clothes and headed for the bathroom.
"Ok…then…", Caleb scratched his head.
"I'll tell you after Starbucks", Cornelia said as she went into the bathroom to change. Caleb groaned as he went to get his own clothes as well, "Don't leave me hanging, Cornelia!"
He heard her laughter through the door, "It's too…overwhelming to tell you in such little time"
"Fine, but you better tell me after you hang out with the girls", Caleb said as he threw off his sleeping shirt and put on a black one.
"Promise!"
…
"No way! Are you sure, Corny?" Irma laughed with the irony of it all.
"Yeah, Cornelia! I mean really, Caleb? You two must be total soul mates", Elyon sighed dreamily.
Cornelia nodded as all her friends let out an excited squeal, "It's true. Like I've told you before, I've had dreams about him but I could never see his face, you know? And then I actually saw Caleb's face when he was little and when I woke up I saw Caleb and I saw the exact same resemblance!"
"Are you gonna tell him?" Taranee smiled as she took a sip of her hot chocolate.
"Yeah! You have to tell him right after this", Will nodded in agreement.
"But hey I have a question. If it wasn't Caleb who was your dream boy and you knew who it was…would you break up with him?" Hay Lin asked suddenly.
Cornelia scrunched her eyebrows together. She hadn't thought of that. If it was some other person, what would she have done? Go to find that boy and leave Caleb, or forget about that boy and stay with Caleb? This brought her eyes to widden at the realization.
I'm not supposed to be hesitating. I'm supposed to say that I would stay with Caleb forever because…I love him don't I?…Then why…is it that I don't love him as much as I thought…?
Elyon noticed the sudden change in her eyes and she put her hand on her shoulder, "Cornelia?"
Baby blue eyes looked up as she smiled, "It's nothing, Eli. So anyway, what's going on with you and Alex?"
Hay Lin gasped loudly and got up from her seat to lean over the table with a huge grin on her face, "OH MY GOSHY GOSH! THAT IS SOOOOO TRUE! WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU AND ALI AL?!"
"Hay Lin! Shush!" Taranee scolded.
Elyon blushed and looked down, "Yeah, Hay Lin, will you shut up? Not so loud…It's only been one day, there's nothing much to tell".
Irma smirked, "Typical Eli. Come on! Tell us everything"
Elyon sighed in defeat as Cornelia smiled, I'll figure it out later…
oOo
Caleb walked out of the dormitory and looked around the campus to find a certain boy. He found him. Alex was taking a light nap under a tree right outside the cafeteria hall with a cap over his face to hide the blazing sun rays. Caleb ran to him, "Hey Alex!"
Alex shot up as the cap fell to reveal his drowsy face as he looked around for the source of the voice, "Harry Potter?"
"No, it's me you moron", Caleb chuckled as he walked up to his side.
Alex looked up at him with sleep-filled eyes and gave a lazy smile, "Heh, my bad. I was having a dream that Harry Potter was turning into the hulk and trying to come after me and-…".
Caleb's eyebrow shot up as Alex sweat dropped, "Heh, forget it. So...what brings you here?"
Caleb scratched the back of his head and sighed, "I just…I…What if…" Alex smirked and laid his head back down, "Yeah we're best friends again, dude."
Emerald-green orbs expressed relief and happiness as Caleb smiled, "You never cease to surprise me". Alex smiled lazily and closed his eyes, "Now let me go to sleep and we can hang out later if you're bored or something." He got the cap from the ground and put it over his face again, "I'm coming to get ya, The Incredible Potter".
Caleb sighed and chuckled, "Whatever. I'm gonna go walk around town, call me if anything comes up". Alex lazily saluted an 'okay' and collapsed.
…
Caleb walked down the sidewalk next to a few outdoor restaurants. Occasionally he would see several girl drooling on him or giggling hysterically if he glanced at them. Che, stupid fangirls. (HAHA! I'm a fangirl…) Caleb stopped abruptly when his phone started to vibrate suddenly. He fished his pocket for his phone and took it out. The call was marked as a 'Private Call'. His eyebrows scrunched together as he answered hesitatingly.
"Hello…?"
"OH MY GOSH CALEB HIIII!" a high pitched voice rang through his ears.
"Jasmine? Is that you?" Caleb asked.
"Uh-huh. It's your little ol' sister coming to check up on you! Well actually, I just wanted to talk to you cause actually mommy and daddy want to talk to you. So here they are" (We all know this is my imagination…don't sue me)
"Caleb?" the familiar voice of his father said.
"Hey dad…why are you calling me anyway?" Caleb asked directly.
"You should've at least given me a good-bye kiss before you left," his mother said.
"Sorry mom…dad said he'd tell you when I left back here"
"I did. She understood, buuuut the real reason we're calling is-"
"WHO'S THE GIRL YOU LIKE?!?!" Jasmine's voice rang.
"Ssssh, not so loud, sweetie. Yes Caleb, we want to know who this lucky girl is. You would've never left home like that for someone who was not worth it. What's her name?" His mom asked.
Caleb smiled as he leaned on a wall of a restaurant as two girls in a table next to him sighed dreamily at him.
"Her name is Cornelia Hale. She's my girlfriend," Caleb put the phone away from his mouth and said a little louder to the girls, "My girlfriend. Who I love and won't leave her." At this the two girls sighed sadly and turned away.
"Well I want to meet this girl. She seems special. You haven't done anything like that for any other girl," her mom said.
"Yeah well, I'm not gonna take her to London right now, especially since we're in school, mom", Caleb sighed.
"Which is why your mother and I are going over there with you to meet her," his father said.
"What?!" Caleb's eyes widened. That's the last thing he needed! His mother is a complete babbler and his dad tries to act like he was a teenager. He did not want his blond angel to see his flesh and blood.
"Yes it's true! We're leaving tomorrow. Besides, you have the Easter holiday starting tomorrow, don't you?" his father asked
"Well yeah, but we still have school tomorrow and then we're free", Caleb twitched.
"Good! Make sure to be at your best behavior. We're going over there tomorrow and we'll be there for only two days. See you tomorrow son! We love you! Bye!" his mother exclaimed.
"Bye…" Caleb hung up as he twitched uncontrollably. Oh…no…
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
