Chapter 23 : You were like him

Ginny and I were walking towards the kitchen for some food. Mum made us some homemade chocolate chip cookies. We took some and we headed to my room. Ginny said the cookies were awesome. She suddenly talked about Lanny. She asked me why didn't I ask Lanny to come here.  I said that he has to help his mother to for the garage sale. She asked me why I love Lanny and what I like about him. I told her love is blind. I love him because of everything.  He's perfect for me. She sound so weird.  From that look of hers.  She's like another person. After talking to her for a while, she went home. 

Mum told me to bring some cookies to Lanny so that he could have a rest. I walked there and I saw Mrs. Popper, Lanny's mother.  She told me that Lanny is in his room and a tall girl came to find him too. I was wondering who is it.

I was walking towards his room and I heard a girl's voice. "Oh Lanny, you're so kind." After that, there was no sound coming out from his room. I peep through the hole from his room.  I saw him kissing a girl,  the girl's back was facing me,I couldn't see who is it. My tears rolled down to my cheek. He didn't see me,  I cried.  I ran out from his house.  Mrs Popper asked me why,  but I didn't answer.

I was hurt.  He phoned me at night but I ignored his calls.  I didn't eat dinner too, I just locked myself in my room. I was asking myself, why am I so naive. He's just like Blake, a useless jerk.

Ginny phoned me and I told her everything. She came over and gave me a long hug. I cried the whole night.  He was perfect for me and I was too for me. She stayed with me for the whole night.

Why did he betray me? I love him.  I used to have everything and now Ginny is what I've got. There's something fishy here, I must investigate.

Chapter 22 : I don't know

I saw Ginny at school. She tried to avoid me. I didn't care. I walked with Missy to the classroom. Ginny was Belinda,chit chatting again.I don't know what to do. Should I talk to her? Or avoid her? I don't know. She walked to me. She gave me a paper. I opened it.

Dear Marty,
I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I'm sorry. I lost control. I'm really sorry. Help me to say sorry to Lanny.

                                      Love, Ginny.

I don't know what to do. Again. I feel weird. I told Lanny about it. He told me to forgive her. I want to, but I don't feel that way. I sort of hate her. Why? I must stop hating her. I phone her. I told her I forgive her and I understand it. She was relieved. I feel relief too. I feel weird. Really weird.

Lanny and I hanged out at a shop call "I Don't Know" . I told Lanny I don't know because I don't know. I nearly break down and cry.  Lanny hugged me and told me that he will be with me no matter what. He said it doesn't matter if I don't know.  I hugged him. He said he love me. I was in his arms. Crying, sadly..I love him and Ginny. I decided to forgive her since she was with me when I was down.  I forgave her.

I pretended nothing happened between the three of us. I was back to normal. Nothing happened.  It was just a dream.

Chapter 21: I can't believe

Lanny and I were walking at the mall to buy presents for our friend's barbeque party. We were holding hands,choosing together.Suddenly,  someone bang me and I fell on the ground. My hand was bleeding and knee got scratch.  Lanny helped my up and bought some medicine for me. He applied it carefully and hug me. He said he was scared that I will get bruises.  I kiss him know the cheek and told him I was alright. Well, sort of. We found the perfect gift and we bought it.

Lanny was waiting outside of my house. He was so hot in is shirt and jeans. I walked down slowly with smile on my face. He said I was beautiful. I'm glad that we could go to the party together. Our friend, Heather organized this party so that we could meet each other again. When we reached there,Heather opened the door and saw us holding hands. We both blush. We went in and we saw Ginny sitting there alone. I went over to call her. She saw Lanny and smile to him. I was frozen. Hello, I'm your best friend and he's nothing to you.I didn't care. Lanny went over to talk to the boys and I went over to talk to the girls. Somehow, Ginny feels sad and lonely. I looked around and I finally know why. Everyone there was coupled, except Ginny. We chatted so long until I felt thirsty. I took to glasses  ,one for Lanny and one for me. I couldn't find Lanny nor Ginny. I walked to the garden. I saw them chatting. I wanted to walk to them. Until Ginny sat closer to Lanny. She went near him. She kissed him. I saw it. The whole process. I was shocked,afraid and frozen. I dropped the two glasses to the ground. They looked at me. I cried. I ran to the door. "Marty,let me explain. "Lanny said as he ran after me. Everybody was looking at me.  I got out from Heather house and I ran further. Lanny was behind. Lanny managed to stop me. He tried to explain but I struggled. He hugged me. I cried out loud. Then,  we kissed. He explained to me. He told me that Ginny wanted to talk to him. She even pulled her dress lower. Lanny thought she just wanna some talk. But she didn't. She tugged her hair behind her ear and touched Lanny's hand. He pulled it away. Then,she kissed him. I don't know who to trust. I told Lanny that I don't know. He pushed me to the wall. "I love you more than anything. I swear, I never liked Ginny. She can't beat you. "Lanny said. "I know. But, I couldn't believe Ginny. "I said. " You know what?".Lanny said. I wanted to answer him. Before I could,  I realized his lips were on mine. We kissed. Lanny took me home after that.

I couldn't believe. Ginny changed. She tried to break Lanny and I apart. I wouldn't let this happen anymore. I swear. I wouldn't.

Chapter 20: Curious

Ginny was so sad. I have no choice but to take her along with me to have dinner with Lanny..I thought Lanny would mind, but he said Ginny is my best friend. She was with me when I was feeling down,I should be with her. Lanny was waiting for us at that steak house. Ginny felt happier. We ordered our food and drinks and we started chatting.  "So...........what's today's plan? If you guys mind, I can go back now. " Ginny said. "No, don't be silly. Why would we mind?" I said as I looked at Lanny. Actually, I did mind. But, she's still my friend.I can't do that. When our drink came, Ginny accidentally tripped her drink and it poured onto my dress. I
quickly went to the washroom. The dress was ruin. I tried using water but it was useless. When I went out,  I saw Ginny and Lanny were laughing happily. Their food was on the table and Lanny had his food all over his mouth. Ginny took her cloth and clean his mouth. I don't know why.  I feel jealous. Me. Jealous. I quickly walked to them.  I pretended nothing happen.I feel sad.

Lanny and I were.holding hands, walking on the beach. I sulked my face. Lanny saw me. He asked me why. I lied.to him. I said I'm fine when I feel so jealous and sad. I wasn't in a mood to walk on the beach. I sat on the sand, thinking.  He looked at me. His blue sparkling eyes looked at me and he asked me why. I said nothing. I hugged him. I looked at him and he kissed me. He asked whether if I felt better. I nodded. We laid on the sand. We hugged each other. Somehow,  I forgotten about that.  Now I only know that Lanny loves me.

Ginny was talking to Belinda.  Belinda looked at me with her evil eyes. Ginny came over and told me that she will be eating lunch with Belinda. I was lonely. Again. Suddenly,  Missy came over. She talked to me. Well, luckily there's still a friend. A reliable friend. She told me that Ginny is weird. Ginny asked Belinda how to flirt guys. I'm starting to get worry. I'm curious.  Why would Ginny ask this type of question. If she ask,who is that guy? OMG! No! Not Lanny! I controlled my emotions and pretended nothing happened.  I don't want to let Missy know. I'm afraid I'll lose him. That guy I love.

I was helping mum to cook and I  accidentally cut my finger when I was cutting the carrot. I was thinking when I was cutting.  I stop thinking when I cut my finger. Blood was coming out and I was still thinking. Mum saw me and quickly help me to stop the blood. She asked what happen and I said I am fine. I lied again. I couldn't help. I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I couldn't stop thinking about him,so I phoned Lanny. "Hey babe,  why aren't  you asleep. It's so late. " he asked. "I don't know. I just can't.  " I said. "Still thinking about Ginny in our date."he asked. "Nope. What do you think about Ginny?"I asked. "She's fun,kind and smart. Why do you ask about that?"he asked. "Nothing, just asking. What about me?"I asked. "You are everything.  You're perfect.  And I love you. Why are you asking questions like that? " he asked. "Nothing, I'm just doing some research about friends." I answered. We said goodbye and I hung up the phone.

I don't know why. I feel curious.  I should believe my boyfriend and my best friend.  Ginny wouldn't do that. She wouldn't.  Missy must have mistaken.  Oh well. I can't sleep. My brain is still thinking. I should stop. Now.

Chapter 19 : I wish

Lanny, Lanny, Lanny. All I can think now is Lanny. I'm still thinking about Lanny. He phoned me everyday. We hanged out and kissed. I never had that feeling before. Even when I'm with Blake. This feeling feels a bit sweet, caring and happy.Ginny was happy that I found someone that loves me. Meanwhile, her caring Blake had a fight with her. It seems that Ginny saw Blake and Belinda kissing. Blake denied and Ginny trusted him. A few days later, she saw them again. Ginny cried as she ran to the girls washroom. Blake explained to her but she knew he was lying.  She asked for a breakup but Blake didn't want. He said that there was never a girl he dated ask for a breakup. He forsed Ginny, Ginny didn't want. He forsed Ginny to kiss him but she didn't want. She struggled but it was no use. At last, she didn't breakup with him, or not he will formed her again.

Poor Ginny. I knew Blake wasn't a good person. Ginny phoned me and she told me everything. I comfort her. I took her to the beach and she felt better. Lanny and I were getting better and better. Lanny is real, I can feel that. He wouldn't cheat on me like Blake. I'm sure. Lanny knows everything about me although we just started a week. Ginny saw me talking on the phone happily every day. I caught her eye and I can see that she's jealous.  I didn't care. I'll just let her be.

Lanny, Lanny,  please don't be like Blake. I beg you. I love you please don't cheat on my feelings. Please.

Chapter 18 : That's where love starts

It's going to be the school holidays and Ginny suggested to go to Universal Studios. I didn't want to go, but Ginny insisted me to go. When I asked her who will be going, my mood went down after she said. Ok, of course Blake will be going. He goes anywhere Ginny goes. But, the problem came. Ginny has invited Belinda to come! OMG! Belinda is coming! With her pathetic boyfriend Louis! Now , everybody has a partner and I'm alone! I wanted to tell Ginny that I can't go because I'm allergic to Universal Studios, but I know she will know that I'm lying. Who on earth will be  allergic to theme parks? Come on, theme parks are so fun! Wait....... I think there's someone I can take along. Lanny! I asked Ginny whether if I could take a friend. She looked at me with her who-is-that eyes and told her it is Lanny. Ok, I admit, I had a little feelings for Lanny after that day, but who cares?

We went to Universal Studios by Belinda's mom's car. Ok, although most of the cheerleaders are scared of fat, but not Belinda. The first thing she said when we went there was " I'm hungry. Louis, I wanna go and eat. " We all looked at her, but she didn't care. We went with her to the nearest restaurant and she ordered a plate of fries, a large chicken hamburger, a mushroom soup , a plate of nachos and a cup of smoothie. Louis tried to take a piece of her nachos and she hit his hand and said " No touchy- touchy." She gobbled her food and she looked like a monkey. Luckily I managed to take a picture of her . Meanwhile, Blake and Ginny were cuddling while they shared eating a plate of spaghetti. I wasn't sad, I have Lanny. I looked at Lanny and I caught his eye. he smiled at me, I smiled back.I was wondering how would this day be over. Lanny have no reaction or he has reaction. Weird me.

We were lining up to ride the ride " The Mummy Returns" . The line was so long. We waited for an hour and it isn't our turn yet. We were lining up in pairs and Lanny was beside me. Just then, Lanny's hand touched my hand. I wanted to avoid his hand , but I can't. He holded my hand and I let him. I look at him and he look at me. We smiled. Ginny saw me. I was blushing, so did Lanny. We waited for  15 minutes more and it's our turn. Lanny sat beside me in that ride. He told to me have fun and don't be scared. I smiled again. Then, the ride begins. Lanny was holding my hand the whole journey. I felt good. We ride other rides and we went home.

I wonder if Lanny really love me. Is it a bet like Blake's ? I wish not. Lanny is so smart and caring. He wouldn't do that. Universal Studios. I will remember this place forever. That place was where Lanny and I begin.

Chapter 17 : Best dressed

I walked in to the school hallway with a beautiful dress and my new sneakers. Today is picture day and I attempt to get the award Best Dressed. Most of the people said that I look nice and will vote for me for the award. Ginny was wearing a beautiful necklace and dress. She was holding Blake's hand as she walked in. She stopped by at my locker and said  " Marty! You look awesome! Guess you will get the award Best Dressed. " I was happy though.  " You look nice too. " I answered. The bell rang and we walked into our class. Belinda saw me and said " Hey look! It's Miss Lamo ! Guess you wanna get that award. But, sorry, that award was always mine. " I didn't care about her. But, deep down inside my heart,  I am very sad. All I wanted is to get that award. Never mind.

It was the time. Everyone was voting for the awards.  Sadly, Belinda didn't get that award she got the nothing.  She stumped her foot and walked to Ms. Berry.  Ms. Berry said that she will make another award for her and she had nothing to say. Meanwhile,  I got th's award. I was so happy.  Ginny got the Most Brave award. We were so happy and I hanged out at her house. Luckily Blake wasn't there. If he was there it will make me feel awkward. We did some makeover and some photo shooting.  Ginny told me that she actually hate Belinda. She get close to her just because she wants Belinda to get along with her. We talked about Belinda and Blake came. I quickly made a move. Until now, I couldn't look at gonna in the eye. Her made me cry and shy. Now, I wouldn't want anything,  but Ginny as a friend.  Ginny, you are my everything.
