"I didn't say anything." she said and they both laughed. We got home and Daisy quickly got down from the car.
"Kyla and Jeremy sitting on a tree..."
"Stop singing that song Daisy."I yelled.
"...k-i-s-s-i-n-g."she yelled and ran inside. Mum laughed and I quickly ran to my room before she would tease me. I heaved a sigh. I freshened up and called Grace on the phone and I told her everything.
"That's amazing, so he asked you to be his friend."she said.
"Yes he did and I accepted. I mean, what the heck."I said and she chuckled.
"How about the girl you told me always follow him?"she asked.
"Violet? He said she's not his girlfriend. They're just friends."I said.
"How about her threats?"she asked.
"Girl, you know her threat is the least thing I would mull about."I said.
"Ok.. At least he's free." She said.
"What do you mean free?"I asked.
"He isn't taken. I'm sure you two would look..."I interrupted her.
"Stop it right there Grace. We are just friends."I said.
"But you could be more."she said.
"No way Grace, no way."I said.
"Why not?" She asked and I sighed. I laid on the bed.
"Grace, I just want to focus on my studies for now."I said.
"Well you did great with your studies when you were with Josh."she said.
"Yeah but I need to do more than great this time. I don't want to let my parents down. They might get mad at me and all that. I don't want that."I said.
"Alright, whatever you say."she said.
JEREMY'S P.O.V
We were at the house preparing to go to Violet's party.
"Seriously J, what made you become friends with the same girl you wanted to hurt?"Mitch asked.
"I don't know, I just felt like it."I said.
"Oh boy, J is in love."Brian teased and Mitch laughed. I threw a pillow at him.
"Stop it."I said.
"And he's blushing."Brian added.
"I'm not."I said, wanting to punch him but he ran.
"Be honest, do you really like her?"Mitch asked
"Maybe I do, maybe I do not."I said.
"Well if you do, then it's a miracle. A major breakthrough."he said and I laughed. I remembered something.
"Guys, what do you think about Violet and I? Like.. dating each other."I said
"Awkward."Brian said.
"Weird. You've been friends like forever, it would be totally weird if you date each other. Gross."Mitch said and I chuckled.
"Yeah, you two would make 'D' worst couple ever."Brian said.
"That's right, absolutely right. But for some reasons Kyla thinks Violet has feelings for me."I said.
"Nahh..she can't have feelings for you."Brian said.
"Yeah, I think Kyla is just being jealous. You know, girls and jealousy are so intertwined." Mitch said crossing two of his fingers.
"Why would she be jealous?"I asked
"I don't know."Brian said.
"Maybe she likes you and feels jealous seeing both you and Violet together."Mitch said.
"Possibly." Brian said. Really? Does Kyla like me? Maybe she does, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted to be my friend that easily. I smiled to myself.
Mitch's phone rang.
"Girlfriend alert." Brian said.
"Who is it this time?"I asked.
"It's Tessy."he said. "Hey babe."Mitch answered the call. I diverted my attention to my phone. I logged into Facebook and you won't believe who I saw on the 'friends you might know' list. It was Kyla. Kyla Francis. Her profile picture was dope. I sent her a friend request.
"I gotta go guys."Mitch said and stood up.
"What about the party?"Brian asked.
"I'll meet you guys there."he said.
"And what should we say to Crystal?"Brian asked.
"Just make up an excuse, cover up for me"he said and walked out.
"Are you just gonna sit there without saying anything?"Brian asked.
"What do you want me to say? You heard him, make up an excuse for him." I said and continue looking at my phone if she had accepted my request.
"Seriously dude, it's annoying, I will be so angry one day that I will tell Crystal the truth."he said and I glanced at him.
"Just help him out."I said and checked my wristwatch. It was five o'clock already. "I think we should get going now."I said and stood up. I got the huge cake from the freezer and took it out to the car and placed it at the back seat. I threw the car key to Brian and he caught it.
We both got in the front seat with him on the wheel. He started driving.
"Why are you so worked up on your phone?"he asked.
"I sent Kyla a friend request on Facebook. I'm waiting for her to accept it."I said.
"You are so into her."he said with a smile.
"I don't know about that yet, but I do enjoy her company."I said and he chuckled.
"Dude you have a really bright smile on your face. You do to like her."he said.
We arrived at the house. It was already booming with loud music and there were lots of people here. I carried the cake and went in with Brian.
"Whoa..huge party."Brian said. Violet walked to us, wearing a very beautiful pink flare gown, with pink cute heels.
"I'm so glad you made it guys."she said.
"We wouldn't miss it."I said.
"You mean, we couldn't." Brian muttered.
"Ok, come this way." she said directing us to the cake stand. I dropped the cake and removed the wrapper.
"It's so beautiful, you always know what I like."Violet said and pecked me. Crystal walked to us.
"Hey guys, you're here."Crystal said and embraced us. "Where's my boo?" she asked looking around. I glanced at Brian and he cleared his throat.
"Um.. Crystal, Mitch went to get um.."he looked at me and I motioned for him to continue.
"I'm waiting."Crystal said.
".. He went to get a birthday gift for Violet, he actually forgot."he said and I immediately remembered that I didn't get anything for Violet. She's so gonna kill me.
"Ok, just tell me when he comes."Crystal said with a smile. I felt so bad for her.
"We'll be back guys."Violet said and they both left.
"I'm so gonna kill him when he comes back."Brian said.
"Cool down,man."I said tapping his shoulders.
"Don't tell me to cool down. We are lying to an innocent girl. If she finds out about this, she'll get heartbroken."he said and I sighed. I went back to my phone.
