"Wow, we are eating here?" I asked.
"Yeah."he said and I admired the place. It was so beautiful. We sat at a two-chair table. There was a beautiful rose flower at the top of the table in a vase, so with the other tables. Jeremy picked up a pamphlet which I suppose was the menu. "Check it out and choose what you want." he said. I picked the pamphlet in front of me.
"Whoa!" I exclaimed. The meals were quite expensive compared to a normal restaurants. I guess that's why it's classy. I picked the meal I wanted and J called the waiter. Soon the waiter brought our orders and we started eating. "It's really delicious."I said.
"Yep, it worths its cost."he said and I smiled. He leaned his elbows on the table, a little bit closer to me. "Tell me, when is your birthday?"
"I thought I told you that already." I said.
"No, you haven't." He said.
"It's April 2nd." I said and he looked surprised.
"Tell me you're joking." he said and I was confused.
"I'm not joking." I said and he laughed.
"You want to hear something hilarious?"he asked.
"Yeah sure." I said.
"Well that same day is your boyfriend's birthday." he said.
"Are you serious?" I asked in bewilderment.
"Yeah." he said.
"Oh my God, that's amazing." I said.
"It's going to be a mega celebration." he said.
"We don't have to throw a party." I said and he looked at me like I just said the impossible.
"What? It's the King and Queen's birthday and you don't want us to throw a party?" he asked.
"It isn't necessary." I said and he laughed.
"Who in school would believe that Jeremy Wilbert is not throwing a party for his birthday?" he asked and I sighed. "Come on babe, it's going to be fun." he said.
"I don't want a party. You can celebrate yours." I said and he frowned.
"Kyle don't be like that. I can't have a party on my birthday knowing it's also your birthday." he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Then don't. We could just go out with friends." I said but he wasn't satisfied. He shook his head.
"I'm 'D' most popular guy in school. I always throw a party on my birthday. This year can't be an exception. Students would ask questions..." blah blah blah. He went on and on and on. Ugh, so frustrating. So much for being the girlfriend of the most popular guy in school. "You're gonna accept it, okay?" he said and I mimicked him under my breath and hissed. I continued eating and noticed that he wasn't eating, but staring at me and smiling.
"What? Why aren't you eating?" I asked and he sighed.
"You know I don't eat much. I'm already filled up."he said and I glanced at his plate. He barely touched his food.
"Your diet is so weird." I said and he chuckled. After we had done eating, we paid for the meal and we walked to the car.
"Next stop?" He asked.
"Ice cream."I said and giggled. We got into the car and he started driving. His phone rang and he placed the ear plugs in his ears.
"Vi." he called. Her again? Seriously? What does she want this time?
After sometime, he hung up and looked at me.
"Babe, I really have to pick Vi up." he said and I was surprised.
"Why? What happened to her?" I asked.
"Her car broke down on the highway." he said.
"Ok, just call Brian or Mitchell? She knew we were..."he interrupted me.
"Baby, I really have to pick her up right now. You know the highway is not a safe place to be and it's getting late already." he said. I was so pissed off.. and sad.
"Seriously? You're just gonna leave me for her again?" I asked.
"Please babe, we will do this some other times. You have to understand."he pleaded.
"I have to understand?"I asked staring at him. He glanced at me.
" Please babe."he pleaded.
"Fine." I said looking out the window. God knows I'm angry as hell.
"Stop frowning." He said. I looked at him and feigned a smile and then looked out the window. He drove me home and I opened the door. "You are not gonna give me a kiss?" he asked as I was about to step out of the car. I just gave him a peck and came down from the car. I wasn't in the mood for a kiss. I stormed inside the house, up to my room. I'm sure he feels sad about my attitude.
I sat down on the bed. Maybe I shouldn't have acted that way with him. He doesn't deserve that. But then, Vi was always the cause of our arguments. I don't know what to feel right now. We had plans for today. We were supposed to go to the movies after getting ice cream, but the plan is totally ruined. This always happens.
Violet is his best friend and it's not wrong that he cares for her right? But I feel neglected, always shoved aside for Violet.
"Stop feeling bad Kyla. The most important thing is that J loves you." I said to myself. I stood up. I freshened up and decided to visit Grace, at least she would cheer me up.
I rang the doorbell and it was opened by a guy I had never met. He stared at me from my head down to my toes. He was tall and fair, with a nicely cut blonde hair. He was putting on a white T-shirt and Jean pants.
"Who are you?" He asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. I realised that I had been staring at him in admiration. Well he was handsome, I had to.
"I'm here to see Grace." I stated.
"Why?" he asked, checking me out again. I felt uncomfortable.
"She's my best friend." I said. "I came to pay her a visit." I said and he stared at me for a long time before letting me in. I felt his eyes on me as I walked up the stairs. Who was he? And why haven't I seen him when I come over?
I open the door to Grace's room and got in. The room was a total mess. There were books lying on the floor, the bed was in an haphazard state, the reading light was lying on the floor, broken, and the reading chair and table were on the floor.
"Grace." I called and slowly shut the door. I've never known Grace to be an uncoordinated girl. Why is everything in her room messed up? Where is she. "Grace." I called.
"Who's there?" I heard a shaky voice. Is that Grace?
"It's Kyla. Where are you?" I asked, scanning the room. The closet door slowly opened to reveal a messed up Grace. Her gown was turn all over. Her hair was messed up and she had some injuries on her elbow, face and...oh my God. What happened to my friend?
