Chapter 14: 3 Words, 8 Letters
Mangle Ventura's P.O.V.
Today was Recognition Day. I'm at the end of the class but still, haha! I still managed! As expected, Foxy was first. But I still can't believe that Bonnie got second! Bonbon was also great. She placed 9th! I'm glad she made it.
After the program was over, our parents went hovering with each other, telling each of them how good are their children. I pouted. I am last in my class after all.
The dumbest....
I saw Bonbon with her mom. She was tall and looked young with her fair skin and green eyes, just like Bonbon.
I soon saw Bonnie's mom who suddenly approached and hugged Bonbon's mom.
Wait, they know each other?!
I glanced at the side to see my parents and Foxy with his family. I smiled as they approached me.
"Why, Mangle! I missed you! It has been so long since I last saw you!" Foxy's mom suddenly wrapped her arms around me for a hug. "I missed you too Mrs. Cooper!" Soon, we broke apart.
I glanced at Foxy's dad, Mr. Cooper. He smiled at me and I nod in understanding. I also noticed that my parents were congratulating Foxy for being first and talk about few things.
Yes, both our parent know each other. I suddenly felt a tug under my knee high dress. I looked down. Once I saw who it was, I grinned. "What are you doing there little Fred?" I asked the five-year old boy as he looked up at me.
"Hi Mangle!" he greeted me. My heart melted. That was so cute!
"Anyway, it's Big. Sister. Mangle. Okay?" I told him but he just shook his head. I tilt my head to the side.
"I want to call you 'Mangle', Mangle," he told me and smiled his sweetest smile ever! He does resemble his big brother!
"Hey, Fred. What are you doing there?" Foxy soon called out to him. Fred faced Foxy's direction. "I was just saying 'Hi' to Mangle, big brother Foxy!" he replied.
Ah...big brother Foxy.
The same thing I call him. I'm not alone. We're both siblings to Foxy-senp....uhhh I mean big brother Foxy-senpai..
The only difference is that he's the real sibling.
And I....was little sister zoned.
Foxy walked towards us. He soon carried little Fred onto his arms. I smiled at them. "Congratulations on being first, Foxy," I told him.
He nodded.
Our parents joined the three of us later. "We're going to throw a party!"
"Wait, what?!" Foxy and I looked at our parents in disbelief. "Why?!"
"Because you two will be moving to second years?" they asked, stating the obvious.
"That's not what we mean, mom, dad!" we both say in unison, again. Little Fred stared at us, wondering what was happening. "Why are you making such a big deal out of this?"
"Come on...it's only a small party~" the four parents pleaded with sparkling eyes. And I'm telling you, it was so not cute.
"Fine."
My eyes widened in complete shock. Foxy agreed?!
And so...
. . .
7 p.m. Cooper Residence (Foxy's House)
Is this what they mean a small party?! A humongous three layered cake, balloons all over the place, banners every front of the door and a food catering?!
Just what the heck are Foxy and I's parents thinking?!
I stared at the place completely frozen It's been a long time since I've been here!
"Hi Mangle!" someone called out to me from behind. It was the cheery and smiling Bonbon. Bonnie was following a few steps behind her. And they even invited my classmates?
I saw my parents mingling with the other adults. I looked down. 'Today is the day..' I thought to myself. I suddenly felt a hand placed on my left shoulder. "Are you really going to do it?" Bonbon asked me. She wasn't smiling.
I forced myself to smile. "Bonbon, don't you believe in the power of true love?" I looked at her and chuckled a little.
She smacked me in the head. I glared at her. "What did you that for?" I asked her disapprovingly. She showed me a sly smile.
"Show me what you can do, Mangle."
Her words left me standing there. She turned her back from me the second she took her hand off of my shoulder. She stopped for a while when she saw that Bonnie was walking towards her. Realizing what she has done, she walked forward, passing the guy who was about to wave his hand at her. Still the same heartless Bonbon.
Bonnie followed her to where she was going.
I won't fail you...Bonbon.
. . .
My classmates were partying inside the house. There I sat on one of the benches in the garden. All alone. I watched as the evening stars from the night sky.
"Why are you so up high? That way, I will never reach you...Just like my dream," I whispered to no one in particular. I stared at it complete silence.
What will happen today?
I sighed in frustration as I realize nothing will ever happen if I just stay and sit here. Yes. I have to do it. Bonbon is counting on me.
I stood up but and walked a few steps but didn't notice that a rock was on the way. I yelped in pain as my butt landed on the ground. Ugh....
"Great! Just great!" I told myself and was about to help myself up. But, a hand was laying right in front of me. Ah..those palm lines. They look exactly like his. Impossible.
I slowly looked up to see who's hand was it. My eyes widen and I froze as the figure came into picture. I know exactly who this is.
Foxy...
"W-what are you doing here F-foxy-senpai?!" I stuttered. Oh damn!
He grabbed my elbow seeing that I won't take his hand any moment because I was completely frozen in place. I looked away from him as soon as I realized he helped me stand up.
"T-t-thanks!" I told him. Speak right at least in front of him you tongue!
"How about you? What are you doing here?" He asked me as he sat down on the bench I was sitting on a while ago.
I looked up at the sky. "Just...thinking..."
"About what?"
"About my unconditional love..."I answered. I must be out of my mind. But, isn't this the right time? To tell him how I really feel.
He stared at me but I didn't look at him. "For who?" he asked.
"You," I whispered.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Complete silence.
"What?" Foxy asked me.
"For Doo...my dog," I lied.
"Oh..." he said in understanding.
Ugh! I almost did it!
I have to speak up!
No topic came across my mind. Now what?
I took a seat beside Foxy. We stared at the shining stars for about 10 minutes. That's when, Foxy spoke up.
"Chica is a nice girl, don't you think?"
Heck, why that topic?
But still, I decided to go with the flow. We had noting to talk about anyway.
"Uh..y-yeah," I lied again. "Did you two...dated the last few months?"
What am I asking?!
"Yeah, we did. Remember that day we took the P.E. torture? We went out that Saturday..." he told me.
My left eye flinched. You only have to answer 'yes' or 'no'! Why explain every detail of it to me?! Memories rushed in my mind and I blushed for that was the when I had my first kiss.
"Do you know that feeling when you see her smile, you do too?" he suddenly blurted out. I do.
The feeling when I see you smile makes me smile too...
"I don't know. Maybe," I answered.
Silence again.
I have to do this!
"Mangle/Foxy I have to tell you something," we both say in unison. I chuckled a little. And so did Foxy. "You first," I told him.
I noticed that he looked at me from the corner of my eye. I turned my head to look at him.
Dug dug.
Dug dug.
I was about to clutch my fast beating heart when he held my hand. I froze the moment Foxy's face drew near my left cheek. He was so close.
I felt time stop that moment.
The beating of my heart went even faster.
Is this it? Does Foxy love me too?
.
.
.
I felt his breath in my ear. After a few seconds...he spoke.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"I like...her."
My eyes widen. 3 words, 8 letters. Only one meaning.
Foxy will never love me.
But one thing was for sure. This will change my life forever.
Tears were forming from my eyes. I looked at the opposite direction. "Really? Who's 'her'?" I tried to speak. I held the forming tears back even more.
"Chica..." he said as his face backed away from mine.
No! I don't want to let go! Please take back what you said!
I want to scream. But I have no more voice left.
I want to love him. But he doesn't.
Please....just say that you didn't mean it.
Mustering the voice I have left, I asked him only one question. The question enough to answer all of the questions inside my head.
"Do you...really feel that way?" the words left my quivering lips.
I waited for his answer.
"I do..."
Reality was slapped right in my face. That's true. Who would ever love me?
Why will Foxy ever love me?
I stood up, still not looking at his direction. I walked a few steps then suddenly stopped midway. "I wish you happiness..." I told him but I felt a hand grabbing my wrist. I looked back. The tears started to fall - the tears I held back for so long until now. Foxy's hand loosened it's grip after seeing the tears slowly falling from my eyes. He was so confused.
He had no idea about my feelings all this time.
No. I don't want to see me like this.
I pulled my hand away from his loosened grip. I looked away and ran. I didn't know where I was going. All I know was that the breeze was blowing the falling tears from my eyes.
I want to die. What will happen if I did, I wonder?
As I continued to run, I heard only one sound.
"BEEP!!!!!"
The car's light blinded my eyes as I stared at it, wide eyed.
He let me go.
. . .
Ugh...it hurts. It pains my heart. Please don't tell me I wrote this. Because my fingers typed on it's own! I'm so sorry *sniff*... Thank you everyone. For the comments *sniff*.
To Fanglelover, you forced me to write this my BFF. Please thank her.
To Agent_Sly, thank you for the idea for the last names.
P.S. The story is not over yet! Sorry if it sucks in your own opinion. I tried my best.
Love love <3
