Chapter 4: Something is Fishy


After class, Luke and I went together to go to the others who are at the parking lot again. I need to go home early today because my Mom is going to Italy for her clothing line and she needs to be there to check the launch of it. And it is going to take 3 weeks so I could see her before she leaves.

My parents are divorsed since I was 3 and my mom took the responsibly of taking care of me and Dad is living somewhere in London, UK.

I am close both Mom and Dad. That's why I remember, begging my Dad to stay and not to leave us. But he promised me that someday, we will see each other again.

My Dad and I are like the best of friends. He always comes home from work giving me gifts. Like crowns, flowers, toys and clothes. But I am also close with my Mom, she is also like my best friend but being a single mother to be, she really worked very hard to support me of course, that's what she always say.

On our way towards the others, Luke and I stopped by at my locker first but I clearly told him to leave me and go on ahead but he is the one who choose to stay

"You know, you don't have to wait for me. Go on ahead" I told him again but he was just there in front of me leaning on the lockers, watching me.

"Don't tell me you don't know the way towards the parking lot?" I nearly laugh at the thought

Luke raised one eyebrow at me and tilted his head on the side "Feisty, don't insult me right now. I know where should I go. I just like being with you" He whispered the last part

Wait, what?

I stared at him but he stood up and cleared his throat "Just kidding" he quickly added "I'll meet you up with the others there. Mr. Dee told me to go to the teacher's faculty" he said walking pass me

"Wait, you know where the faculty is?" I asked

I was expecting him to shook his head and ask me to show him the way but in my surprise, he smirked smugly , turning his body to me "We are not idiots as you think we are, Feisty"

My eyebrows touched in confusion.

"The principal gave us the map of the school. The rooms are listed there. And you believe us that we need your help to show us our class rooms" he respond that leaves me dumbfounded at my spot

"Then why did you jerks always ask for my help?" I questioned, crossing my arms

"We just want to know if you are going to help us if we still annoy the heck out of you" he said, shrugging his shoulders

Then my blood started to boil. Like I want to throw all of my books in that face of his! "So you three have been fooling me since the start?!"

"Not really. But you did prove something to me"

"What?"

"That you are not smart as we think you are" he winked before running away leaving me so red in anger.

Urg! Why are there so many annoying people in the world that are here with me?! Damn this.

I got what I need in my locker before slamming it shut. Good thing I don't have cheerleader practice today so I can go home early. Did I mention that before that I am part of the cheering squad? Well I am.

I inhaling and exhaling, still annoyed at what the boys done to me. Using me and making me look like a fool, makes me really want to...

Want to shove my 5 inch heels at their fucking eyes.

Shit.

I am too irritated and I was walking more like stomping at the hallway when I suddenly bumped into someone causing her to fall on the floor

Hey, it's her

"Jane?" I called "I am so sorry!" I apologized, helping her to get up but she was just quiet "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am" she murmured having trouble making eye contact with me. I got her back to her feet as I picked up the books he was holding that fell asleep

"Here" I gather them to her "Jane ~"

"~I have to go" she started to walk away but I got her hand. She came from the restroom?

"Wait, Jane...please, talk to me. I know you since we are kids. Something is wrong with you " I plead, softly "I'm your friend, so are Trixie and Sam. Tell us your problem. Please. You are not alone"

Jane slowly turn her face to me, her eyes seems to water but they turn into a glare and something came into my mind that scares me.

"Leave me alone, George" she spat at me, taking my hand off her hand and stepped back "I don't need you or anyone. Please leave me alone" she said then ran off.

Where's my best friend? What happened to her?

Then someone came out from where Jane came from. My mind went blank quickly. What is he doing here?

"Frank? What are you doing in the woman's restroom?" I asked. Why is he there? Where Jane came from? And Jane looks like she was running away from or...leaving in a hurry.

Sweats were falling from his forehead. His hair is very messy and the look on his face looked shock to see me standing outside the rest room

"What's going on?" I started to panick. "Are you cheating on me?!" with my best friend?!

"NO! No, babe!" He grab both of my hands but I was fighting his grip "Baby, listen to me! It's not what you think this is!"

"Then what?!" I punched his chest "You are in the rest room alone with Jane!" Tears roll down my cheeks, and I just let my emotion take over me.

Frank was holding my shoulder then pulled me in his arms in a very right hug "Babe, I just bumped to her and she vomited. Then I just helped and carried her here"

Then I stopped fighting him and look at him "She's vomiting?"

"Yes, she was. She didn't told me why" he cupped my face and pressed his lips on my forehead, whispering soft and comforting words at my ears to stop me from crying.

I just can't handle it if I loose Frank in my life. And I won't promise that I won't so anything to the girl he use to cheat on me.

"Don't cry, George, I love you. Okay?" He told me and kissed me on my lips quickly as he wipe my tears away. "Shhh, don't cry" he whispered again planting kisses on my head to my forehead

"I need to talk to her" I blurt out but he tighten the grip on my hand "Frank..."

"Let her, George. She doesn't want anyone right now" he said, his eyes were staring into mine like he is reading me right through my soul.

"But, she needs our help"

Frank sigh "if she needs help, she will ask for it..." he said "...give her time"

Give her time? I kept on giving her all the time she need but I don't thinking can give her anymore time. I want to talk to her. She's my best friend. The only sister I had. Even if she tells me to stay away. There is no damn way, I will let her take this alone.

But vomiting?

Could she be...no. she can't be pregnant, right?

"Relax, okay?" Frank murmured before kissing me this time in my mouth "are you okay now?"

I nod my head quickly "Yeah I'm Fine now. Don't worry about me. I thought you are cheating on me"

"That will never happen" he said and I believe him with all of my heart. He won't cheat on me. I know he won't cheat on me.

Frank calmed me down for the next minutes but he told me he has practise so he needs to go and he left me there. I really feel relief that he loves me and he won't leave me. Because if I really find out that he is cheating on me...

I don't know what I am going to do to myself.

I went back to the others at the parking lot. They all look happy at what Adam is telling again because they are laughing loudly. Seriously? They always find Adam's corny jokes funny.

"Woah, Hey there, hot ass" Trixie saw me first and followed by five pairs of eyes. Luke is already there and my blood starts boiling again.

"What are you morons talking about?" I asked, walking towards Sam, Marvin and Trixie who are sitting on the wooden long bench but since my legs are killing me, I sat on Sam's lap and I know she doesn't mind.

"Hey, did you cry?" Dane asked, bringing his face closer to mine, looking at my eyes.

Are my eyes red? "No, why?"

"Because your eyes were red" Marvin answered beside me.

I looked away from them, think of an excuse.

Think...

"I...um..."

"Georgina! Georgina! Is it true that you were crying at the hallway and you were screaming at Frank and then you try to push him away and he kissed you then you forgive him because he was cheating on you???" Erica appeared in our scene

I took a deep deep breath, holding my temper in me. Thanks, Erica. Way to ruin the moment and ruin my privacy.

All their eyes turn to me now. Shit, I don't have a plan to tell them about that. God, why are there so many annoying bees around. They really do love making me in their news.

When will I have a moment that no one is looking? But I saw the look on my friends' faces and I can read what they are thinking

"He is not cheating, guys! They don't know the whole story. I am the one who over reacted. I thought he was cheating because he was helping Jane at the bathroom. He is not cheating on me!!!" I snapped, as I talk quickly

Then all of them were just looking at me making me groan and cursed under my breath. "Now what? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Silence...

"Because your boyfriend can be a dick sometimes" Dane suddenly spoke making my tempere worse.

"Dane" Sam and Trixie gave him an evil glare, giving him the 'shut your mouth' look.

Dane raised an eyebrow questioningly "What? George already know what I feel with Frank" he spoke carefree not caring that I can hear it.

Trixie faced me "Jane is involved?"

I nod "Yeah. But there is no way Frank is going to cheat me by my best friend, right?"

"Yeah, but with other girls" I heard Dane muttered again but this time, Trixie slapped his arm harshly and told him to shut his annoying big mouth

"You know, doll..." Marvin put a hand on my shoulder since he is just sitting behind me while me still on Sam's lap. "...this Franco or Frank he is...as a friend...my advice for you is that try studying his moves for the next days, and if you suspects him then shoot"

Huh? What kind of an advice is that? But as I try to sink it in the deepest part of my brain.

That can help but...

Should I take this advice? This is so hard!

But why do I feel like I Dane is right? Am I hesitating now? Because I am scared that Frank might be cheating on me?! Is that it?

"Shit" I quickly stood up "I had enough drama for today. I'm going home" I said heading straight to my car which is not too far from here. I shouted goodbye to them before driving off.

Damn it. My family is ruin and so is my relationship. My trust on Frank lessen from the rumors going on. What if is he cheating on me? The other day he lied to me of having a practice but his friend said he didn't attend it.

I slam my head on the steering wheel causing other cars honk behind me. Now I am causing a scene. Shit, my life is so difficult.

I arrived home, parking my car at the garage and noticed Mom's car outside, inside was full of bags or luggages. She is so ready to move out.

Entering the house, she was having a conversation on the phone with someone in the kitchen area . Forgot to mention that my Mom is half Italian. She is small compare to an average one but God, my Mom can still make millions of men drool.

"Oh, hey sweetie" she ended the call "You look..."

"Horrible? Thank you" I smiled sarcastically, taking a seat on the tall light green stool , leaning my elbows on the countertop. "What time is your flight?" I took a glass of cold water

"In an hour" she replied, taking a deep breath "Are you sure you are going to be okay here alone? You know you can stay at your Auntie's house"

The water suddenly got stucked at my throat causing me to cough

"Oh honey, are you okay?" Mom asked with worried eyes

"Y-yeah, M-mom..." I cough again "N-no, I'd rather stay here alone"

Auntie Macy is Jane's mother and since Jane and I are not in good terms, I would like to stay here alone than stay in their house and be in the same room with the woman who just suddenly pushes her friend away.

"But, George, you are going to be alone here for 2 months. What if something happens to you?" She asked

2 months? "I thought you said you are going to stay there only for 3 weeks?"

"Yeah, I thought it is just weeks but one of my clients called earlier and I need to take care of something there too" she told me, sitting down next to the stool next to mine "I don't want to leave you here alone. What if someone -a burglar or murdered came and no one is going to help you"

"I am 17 years old, Mom" I stated, running my hands through my head "don't worry, I am going to lock my doors and these walls are connected to the securities, right? Don't worry too much, okay?"

"You can't make me stop from worrying" she said

Mom and I had a little chat before she goes on her way. She had a private jet waiting for her so she also needs to leave early. How hard it is to have a busy working Mom. Before she always brings me when I was a kid but since I am grown up now and studying at school, I like to stay alone.

But 2 months...I am going to be alone for a very long time. This is the longest trip Mom had since I started not coming with her.

Mom and I are planning to go and stay in Italy after graduation. She said it is better if we stay there because her main company is there. Actually, she really wants to stay there when she and Dad divorced.
Oh Well. Maybe I Should call Frank to clear things up and to make sure that nothing is wrong between the two of us.

I brought out my IPhone and dialed Frank's number, I heard the dialling and he answered it on the third ring "Hey, Frank, I just -hello?"

It ended?

I redialed the number but this time, it's voicemail. Oh God, I thought it will make it easier of me if I call him but it made the situation even more worse.

Did he turn off his phone? But there is no need for him to end it. It's nearly 6 in the evening and from what I know, his practice is only until 5:30. Shit, Frank.

Better not be cheating on me or else I am going to cut off your balls.

Something is fishy.

I feel like he is hiding something from me.
