Chapter 2

Excitement rushed through when I saw my boyfriend for the first time in two weeks. He was looking as good as ever but stumbled for a moment as he was coming down the hall to see me. Being apart from him for those two weeks was torture, but I knew I had to go to hamsterwood for an important career move. I finally had a contract and was signed to be in a low budget TV movie the following summer after high school was over. I couldn't wait to tell Milo, but he was talking to a bushy-haired short kid so I patiently but excitedly waited at the opposite end of the hall.

He walked over acting cool before tripping over Jocktopus' tentacle. "Jocktopus!" Jocktopus shouted and laughed along with his friends.

"It's good," Milo said as he recovered and got back up, "Bea!" He shouted and raced towards me, hugging me tightly, "I missed you way too much!"

"I missed you more," I laughed back at him as his lips met mine.

"How was hamsterwood?" He excitedly asked, and held my hand as we walked toward the lockers.

"It was good, they signed me." I cheerfully said.

"That's fantastic!" He cheered. The first bell of the school year rang, and I quickly pulled out my schedule to figure out where I was headed to. Math.

"Who were you talking to earlier?" I asked Milo before we parted.

"Oscar. Remember him?" Milo asked, frowning.

"Of course I remember him." I sighed, "Is it our fault that he moved out?" I knew this was true. If Milo and I hadn't gotten together then Oscar would still hang out with us and live where he should be. With his brother and family. Not with some distant cousin on the other side of town. I could recall that night clear as a bell. Oscar and I were sitting closely next to each other, but the only person I could think about was Milo. Milo was so crazy and spontaneous that I loved him. Sure, I had a crush on Oscar in Junior High, but that is the past and this is the now. People move on and I hoped that Oscar had. Nearly two years ago he told me that he loved me. Of course, I immediately thought he was trying to be funny so laughed. I tried my hardest to make it obvious that I liked Milo whenever we hung out. He was so funny and cool that I wanted him to know I liked him, but wasn't sure he did.

Oscar inspired me that night and once I realized he was serious, embarrassment crashed over me and I immediately swam at full speed out the door to find Milo. Thoughts raced through my head as I sped toward the restaurant that Milo was in with his date. He spotted me immediately and excused himself from his date without a doubt on his face. "Bea, are you alright? You look worried." Milo asked genuinely concerned. He put his arm around me and we swam outside of the restaurant.

"Oscar told me he loved me," I sighed, still shocked by what had happened.

"Well that was obvious." Milo rolled his eyes.

"Not to me it wasn't," I spat back at him.

"Oh."

"I don't think I can face him again. Things will be too awkward." I sighed.

"Well you can try." Milo suggested.

"But Milo," I sighed, feeling the words almost jump out of my mouth, "I love you"

"Bea!" Milo shouted, "I love you, too!"

After that night two years ago, things kind of fell into place with me and Milo. Everything went just like it did in the movies. But things fell apart with me and Oscar. In one of his rage's he moved out directly after he found out me and Milo were dating. He isolated himself away from Milo and myself, not wanting anything to do with the relationship. Never did he make new friends like Milo had. I still had my girls, but Oscar had nobody. He still has nobody. He is a loner gamer who probably hasn't even ever had a girlfriend. Milo kissed me goodbye and I headed off too class sitting in the back of the classroom, screening for familiar faces. There wasn't even one. But a familiar bunch of bushy hair was lying on the desk next to mine. I turned away and thought about it for a moment, now certain it was Oscar. When I looked back over I saw him stare at me.

"Hi Oscar," I stumbled my words, trying to sound sweet, "Long time no see."
