Chapter 6 - Chapter 2: (part 3/3)

~flashback~

Me- *sob* Carlo please come with me! I don't want to leave you!

Carlo- there there, it'll be ok! U finally get to chase after ur dream ! I'll miss you,but it's for the best!

Me- *sob*

Mom- Angeline if u love Carlo that much then why don't u two get married when ur older. That way u can always be together!

Dad- that's a good idea! What do u think?

Carlos dad- why not? Carlos crazy about Angeline! Right honey?

Carlos mom- so crazy about her that I bet he's gonna lock himself up in his room for days after she leaves.....

Mom- what do u say Angeline ? Do u want to be with Carlo for the rest of ur life?

Me- *sob* c-can I?

Mom- of course!

Carlos dad- what about you Carlo?

Carlo- I don't want to ever leave her!

Dad- then it's settled! From this day on , u

two are officially engaged!

~flashback ends~

"Hey Angeline? R u listening?"

"Huh?"

Carlo is peering into my face with a concerned look

" wait , so THATS what happened?!!"

I'm so shocked that I voice my thoughts aloud!

" oh , it seems you do remember....well then I guess I can tell you." Carlo says and leans closer

"T-tell me what?"

"I love you"

"!"

'Wait what?'

"I've always loved you, ever since we were little....I'm so glad to finally be with you again!"

'W-what is he saying???!!!'

I can feel heat rushing to my cheeks

Carlo: Angeline, ur as red as a tomato! Man, it's been so long since I've seen that face...."

I quickly turn around to hide my face

"...but I actually wish u had waited until u heard the song I wrote for you and then made that face."

He says this with dismay

"Huh?" I recall the promise he made to me long ago....

'I'll write a song for you, and I'll make sure when you hear it ,you'll make the same face you're making now....'

I blush even more

"Ur getting redder , are you sure you don't have a fever?" Carlo cups my cheeks with his hands and puts his forehead against mine....

"Hmm, it's really warm!"

"!! I don't have a fever!"

I struggle to talk as I push Carlo away

Carlo: oh yeah , I went to ur house this morning but you'd already left,so I got a spare key from the landlady and put all my luggage in the living room. You live in a 2 bedroom apartment right?

Me: ok.....wait what?! And she gave u the key?!

Carlo: yeah, she said ur parents had already told her about me arriving today.

'....so I'm the only one who didn't know?'

Carlo: pretty much.

Me:! So u can read my thoughts now?!

Carlo:no ...you're just that easy to read!"

Carlo chuckles as he says this

Carlo: well anyways , from now on , I guess I'll be in your care! .....or more appropriately .....you'll be in my care!

Carlo chuckles again

'This.....is going to be a very long year...'

And so my ordinary high school life, just got a LOT crazier.....
