Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Padgett's POV

He pulled my face closer to his, his eyes didn't leave my lips.

I really want to taste it again. When his face was just an inch from my face, my mommy hit on the tinted windows of his car, causing me to jumped from his legs my head hit the car roof.

Ouch! I screamed slightly while I got out of his car, I gave him one last look before closing his car door leaving my mommy talking to him before getting inside, as soon as I get inside, I throw the scrapbook on my bed

I was totally drained from today’s activity, I wish things were different pretty different. I grabbed my project work and also have it done, when it comes to project work, I easy get tired of fixing it but what can I do, I have to fixed it, I sent a quick text to Emerald telling her that, I have gotten the scrapbook, she texted back, immediately.

Please forgive me, if I hurt you. I laughed at her childish actions.

Baby girl! You did not, I am just mad at myself.

So you are not mad at me? She texted again.

Then come online let's talk. She texted back. I was about rejecting the offer when another text came up. Your rejecting my offer, only means one thing, that you are mad at me. I smiled at her cheap blackmail, then I log on to my social media.

Are you happy now

Yeah! Now I know you are not mad at me.

Silly I am not mad at you.

Let's do FaceTime. Emerald said, I haven't even be able to reply before she change it to FaceTime.

Emerald what are you...

I love you. She said cutting me off, I was force to smiled at her. Sorry, I wasn't able to stay for the picnic, so tell me, what’s the update.. She said as I chuckled, this nosy friend of mine.

Well nothing interesting at all, you know I guess I just missed your silly face, abandoning your supposed best friend when she needed you most.

My bad! I am not going to do that again, am I forgiving.

Depends on how much you treat me right? I said.

I will get you a plate of ice cream

Whoa! I can't wait. I screamed, then I noticed she is staring at me

Uh! The party last night, how did you get home? She asked, bringing up that dreaded night, the night I really don't want to remember

Come on, you were there, you saw that silly Cathy, gave Cameron lap dances and that worthless dare that made me kiss Cameron, it's all stupid..

After that, I remember you left with Newton and Cameron came looking for you. I sighed at her words, I know she wanted details.

Gosh! I was bloody drunk, I did some crazy Pool table dance, Cameron broke up with his one true love and to crown this whole madness, he openly confessed he has no feelings what so ever for me

WHAT!!!..She screamed, I sighed in frustration

Can you keep it low?

Sorry, it really don't sound true

But Is the fact.

Fine, let's go slow, I heard from Alex that Cameron was mad at you because you kissed Newton, fine, I know it's all my fault, I wouldn't had...

Will you stop, I didn't kissed him, it's a peck and he peck me close to my lips, so everyone should stop saying he kissed me.

Really? Which means Cameron's kiss was your first.

As truthful as it is and as much as I want to throw a party that I got my first kiss from the man, I love, I just wish it didn't happen. I watch as Emerald look at me, I don't want her to feel sorry for me, I part my lips to say something but her voice came up.

So Cameron break up with Cathy

Well it was more like a double break up since they both did it but yeah they’re over… I sighed, I really don't know how many times, I have sighed during this conversation.

And he said he has no...

Yes! He has no feelings for me right in my face… I said almost tearing down

Are you okay with it… She said with a low voice.

Do I have a choice, I will just nurse my broken heart, move on like nothing happened, although I have new rules, at least that will help me, cope with all this madness and I really don't know how to face everyone tomorrow in school.

Don't worry, I will be there for you.

Thanks best friend. She smiled and exposed her gap teeth, I too gave her a weak smile.

“But it’s impossible that he doesn't have feelings for you. She added making my smile disappeared from my face.

No, it’s not impossible, he doesn't; he said so himself, Cameron doesn't, so please just drop the topic I really don’t want to talk about it… I said gulping on my juice

The truth is, it’s so strange…

Emerald stop! I groaned

Fine, well I have something to tell you. She said blushing

Hm! it’s about Alex isn't it… I said smirking. How did you know?

I just guess, and I could tell by that blush on your cheeks

I’m not blushing

It’s obvious, just tell me

I'm not

Stop arguing just tell me.

He asked me to be his girlfriend, this afternoon and I said yes. She said blushing more.

Whoa! I am happy for you two.

Thank you, I am really excited that he has same feelings for me.

Hm! I said she blush harder

Stop blushing and go have your pretty sleep, tomorrow we celebrate it. I said, she blow a kiss for me before logging out, I frown.

Everyone, have what I just can't get, is like I am cursed, she just arrived here and now, the one boy she admired the very first day she arrives here, is hers, I just hated myself, I was about logging out on social media sites when my eyes fall on Cameron's update on his wall

"I felt empty without her" His update read them my eyes fall on his message to me.

Come on let's talk, stop avoiding me.

I logged out immediately, I really don't want to hear his stupid explanation or another word about that kiss, I put off my light, I was about going to bed when my mommy tap on my door and pushed her face into my room

Can I come in hon?

Yeah mommy, you can, do you want anything?

There are some left over pasta in the fridge, I heated it up with the microwave, I thought of sharing it with you. She said smiling

Thanks mum… I said grabbing to eat with her.

What's up with your new attitude? She said sipping her coffee

Yeah I just needed a change

You know locking everyone out won’t really help you, I know I have fallen short of many things as a parents and I have made you feel that, relying on yourself, is the best thing and I also know that, so many things I should have done better, and differently, but the truth is, keeping things to yourself, the pain would still be there, it will just be suppressed and honey one day you’ll need to let it all out I just hope you don’t get shattered when you do… She said dropping her coffee

My advice is that you let it all out now don’t keep it in, it will only hurts more that way, I know how it's to keep secret, it's a burden, I will not want you to go through that. She said

Good night hon… She added pecking my cheeks lightly

Night Mommy! I said grabbing the heated pasta hurriedly finishing it up before falling back on my bed.

It's Monday already, I sighed badly, thinking of what await me in school, will I be able to face all of them with the new me, I just wished I could, I wish I could do something to make myself invisible to everyone in school.

I fixed myself in a hurry, I need to leave before Cameron show up here, I know that idiot, will want to come here and pick me up and if he comes here, I can't say know no and mommy will force me into going with him, but if I leave before him, I will be save, I grabbed my breakfast and hurry out after saying goodbye to my mommy.

I was glad about one thing, I didn't ride with Cameron to school, when I arrived school, Cameron was also just arriving, he stepped out of his car as his fans gathered around him, I sighed in frustration.

Such a dick! I said as I headed straight to my lockers to grab my things and place a few of them in my locker, I could noticed people making side comment about me, I just keep my head low and walked to my locker, as soon as I open my locker I heard a familiar behind me
