Chapter seven
"Jade... which jade -max was starting to shout now.
"Is it the jade that I've been trying to date for 2 years now!!!.... is it the jade that turned me down? She has always been joking with me Tina, and you know it She doesn't really love me, I'm sick and tired of all this Tina. Why don't we both date, why wasn't I seeing you before...I've always liked you, but I thought you liked someone else..., I guess I was wrong, you still like me. Don't you Tina?"
"No max.... I've never liked you, I've loved you!!!. For 10 years max...10 years, you didn't even notice me, now all of a sudden you want me. How weird is this whole thing to you? Max, is this whole thing a joke to you..... I could see the shock in Max's eyes as I left him dumbstrucked and quickly headed for the garage door.
"It's him right?...it Michael isn't? it..., Don't lie to me, Tina. so the rumours are true, isn't it?
what rumours, max. I have no idea what you're talking about.
I saw you both during french class and I saw how he stood up for you in front of Ray-ray and everyone. He's the one isn't it?.... I could feel max footsteps approach me, so I had to leave.
Don't go Tina, max held my hands. "just stay. I was blind at first but now, I realize my mistake. let's just give this a try".
"you're not thinking through max. you're probably starting to get worked up because of jade, I know you." I took his hands away, this isn't right and you know it."
I couldn't stop thinking about what happened when I went home. I had finally gotten the opportunity to be with the one guy that I like, and I blew it. I couldn't even call jade or, tell her what happened... and felt so guilty to the core. I wasn't even in the mood to talk so I headed straight for bed, still thinking about what happened to max.
The day seemed dull, as I stretched. I was still wondering what happened to max and thought I'd sort it out with him when I reach school.
I quickly went down stairs to have my breakfast of pancakes and bacon.
"Good morning baby"
"Good morning ma"
"Yesterday... Max's mum called, saying you left rather in a hurry. Sweetie did anything happen?"... My mum asked being inquisitive as ever.
"Nothing happened mum."
"Did you and Maxy have a fight"...baby chipped in.
"Oooo...maxie wifey"...I could hear Maddie say
"Mum...they are teasing me here"
"Stop teasing your sister" my mum shouted from the kitchen. My dad steped into the dinning room, leaving trails of strong perfume.
"Good morning dad".
"Good morning dear, how are you?"
"I'm fine dad"
"Kira!!.. Maddie!! I hope you girls are ready and I hope your bags are ready. It's time to leave to the university" ..my mum interrupted.
"And that reminds me"- my dad chimed in..
"The mayor and his son will be coming for the school Christmas festival, so Celestina my dear, prepare hard"
"Stop putting so much pressure on her mcStine.., she'll do great!"...my mum quickly came to my rescue
"Well dear.... I wasn't pressuring her, I'm just telling her not to disappoint us next two weeks when she sings in front of the whole school".
"Mum!! Dad!!.... Thanks so much for your advice but, I'll be heading out now".
I waved them and left the house.., so much for no pressure. I was shocked to find jade waiting for me in her car.
We both entered school and wondered what the snickering and side talks we was hearing was all about. Jade being the idol of most guys, was more or less a queen bee herself. She called the attention of a girl named Trisha and asked her what happened..,
"Haven't you heard the news" Trisha asked with excitement.
"No...what happened?"
"Ray-ray and max are now dating"
Our mouths dropped open. Sensing she had done a good job in disclosing her information, Trisha left us in that shocked state. I couldn't help but look at jade, her eyes filled with tears as he made a run for the bathroom.
