Lorelei has a crush on Brently. It could be that simple. If, he wasnt dating her "best friend" Abigail, who is actually using Lorelei to have friends. The thing is Brently likes Lorelei and was dating Abigail to get closer to Lorelei. He dosnt want to be mean and break up with Abigail so he dates both girls at once. Will he break up with Abigail? or will it all just crash down on him?
Me and Abigail are having a sleepover and she keeps constantly talking about her new boyfriend, Brently. She keeps showing me pictures of him and her and them on their first date and posting new statuses about him and i don't want to be rude and tell her I'm not interested but i still do.
"And this is me and him making out on the top of the Farris Wheel, oh and this is us sharing cotton candy and.."
"Um do you think we could do something else? You know like when you didn't have a boyfriend and we would do in the dark makeovers and stuff like that?"
"Oh i get it, your jealous i have a hot boyfriend and you don't."
"No, i just think its boring"
"What ever but seriously i know if you tried to fix up those dark under eye circles one day someone.. i guess might sorta like you"
"Um thanks i guess.. but.."
"I know you don't like anyone, you tell me this every single time i ask you hoping you will eventually say yes, but fine i guess we will do what you want.. how about it?"
"I guess we could gossip on Facebook..?"
"That's the right answer i was looking for who should we stalk first.. Oh Allison Johnston's new hair is so ugly!"
"Mmm Hmm"
I just grab out my phone and text Charlotte (my best friend) and Brently. I don't really like Abigail shes sorta mean to me and just uses me cause i apparently have good clothes and make up and no one else really likes her, and i don't want to be mean so i just let her be mean. She thinks I'm her best friend, like i would tell her anything but i would never trust her with anything important like that with all the gossiping she dose everyone would know my secret by the end of the day. She also thinks i don't like anyone but i do. I sorta.. okay really love Brently, me and him have been just friends, maybe even acquaintances. We just have a group of friends and we happen to be in the same one and hang around the same people but me and him don't hang out by ourselves or anything. 
Oh my gosh! When i see Lorelei's number on my phone I drop my phone on the floor and my whole family turns to hear what the loud noise was.
"Oh, mom! Brently dropped his phone on the floor!"
"Brently! Could you be more clumsy?"
"Sorry Mom"
I pick my phone of the floor and put the battery back into my phone as i run up the stairs and text her.
When he reply's i get a gitty feeling and reply right away.
"Hey Lorelei, i didn't know you had my number, how did you get it? not that i don't want to have it, i don't hate you or anything. Sorry."
"Um hi, and i got it from Abigail, she said i should have it so i could tell you about all the reasons why she loves you and stuff like that."
"She loves me? we have only been dating for a week, i think its rushing a little bit. Right?"
"Um i don't really know, I've never had a real relationship" 
"Oh that's super cool, taking it single? That's totally cool bra!"
"Um thanks well I'm gonna go now"
"Okay well i will text you tomorrow, Okay"
"Kay, Bye Brently :)"
That's totally cool bra? Oh my gosh she probably thinks I'm totally weird! I had her number on my phone because Grey had it and he knows how much i love Lorelei and he gave it to me but i wasn't ready to talk to her and when i saw her name pop up on my screen i couldn't hold in my excitement! I have liked her for a year now and i never want to talk to her because with all my other crushes they all ended up in disaster and i feel like shes different and i don't want to ruin it, and I'm doing better than normal because she didn't totally get creeped out when i called her a bra... 
Did he just call me a bra? Maybe hes high or something, hes usually very calm and doesn't talk a lot. I  wonder whats wrong. I hope its not cause he doesn't like me. What did i do? Was i not nice enough? Oh crap she probably hates me right now and thetas why he called me that! It probably stands for something mean! I grab my phone and text Charlotte again because she didn't awnser.
"CHARLOTTE! ARE YOU THERE!?"
"YES I'M HERE! Gosh whats wrong? I was trying to enjoy a family dinner but they you budged in! Whats that important?"
"I TALKED TO BRENTLY!"
"OMG that is worth ruining my family's life!"
"I KNOW!"
"Okay enough with the caps!"
"Fine"
"So what did he say?"
"To sum it all together he was really weird and wouldn't stop talking and he called me a bra"
"He called you a bra?"
"YES"
"Why?"
"I don't know"
"I think he likes you"
"No he doesn't!"
"Well think, hes trying to act overly cool. And hes failing! Remember when he liked me in grade 4 and he would call my his Hot Rod all the time because his older brother used pick up lines to get his girlfriends?"
"Ya, but he realised that he was lying and all the girls said no, so why would he still be all weird like that?"
"I don't know, but don't try to figure out because it could turn out like he is and because he doesn't like you like you like that he will move on from you because trust me, he doesn't need another friend."
"Oh um, okay?"
"Well I'm going to finish dinner now"
"Bye"
I shut off my phone and stare at the ceiling while i listen to Abigail talk about Brently and gossip all night non stop. The next morning i sleep in and i wake up to a picture of a bald cat on my face. I scream and throw it on the floor.
"AHH!"
"Hahaha!"
"What was that for?"
"I don't know, i was bored"
"Oh thanks"
"Your welcome, so do you want to go on facebook? Go to the mall and tell people how ugly there clothes are and act like were Stacy and Clinton for What Not To Wear? Come on get dressed your mom will drive us, Right?"
"Actually i have to go home and babysit my brother and his friend while my parents are in Toronto trying to find outfits for a wedding they are going to this weekend"
"Are you sure? Isn't you brother like 11?"
"No hes 5, and i have to"
"Fine i will just go with Nicky from Algebra"
"Have fun!"
I hear her pout as i run out of her room and out the front door. I rush quickly to my house so i can get there before my parents leave. I rush down the streets at a walking pace and shield  my face when i walk past Brently's house. I soon run in the door to find my mom and dad waiting for me to get home.
"Young lady! We have texted and called you a million times and you never answered!"
"Oh sorry Dad, i shut my phone off last night and forgot to turn it back on"
"You had us worried sick!"
"I said I'm sorry"
"Well we have to go now, we are already late"
"Okay have fun"
I turn around and walk into the kitchen to find my brother Sawyer setting up a picnic for him and his friend. I walk over and sit down.
"Hey watch it! I worked very hard on this!"
"Sorry, so who's this all for?"
"My friend"
"Ooh, Is it a lady friend?"
"Eww! No! Girls are gross!"
He shoves me off his blanket and fixes the wrinkles and i hear the door bell ring.
"I see your non girl friend is here"
"Go get it!"
"Wow fine Mr. Grumpypants"
I walk over to the door and open it to find Brently and his little brother Nolen. In surprise i start to close the door then i realise his brother is here for the play date and i open the door and look down and realise I'm still wearing my Whinny The Pooh pj's from my sleepover with Abigail.
"Oh, Hi Brently i didn't know your little brother was coming over"
"And i didn't know he was coming over to your house either, not that its a bad thing, i like your house its very, housey."
"Thanks.Well, Hi Nolen"
"Ew, girl cooties"
"Nolen!"
"Its okay my brother is meaner to me, Hey Nolen, Sawyer set up a picnic in the living room, do you want to check it out?"
"Ooh a picnic!"
"Wow your good with kids. Not that i think you should have kids, because its your decision and i don't think you need kids or anything."
"Wow, you talk a lot!"
"Dose it bother you? Cause i can stop if it really bothers you. I'll just leave"
"No its okay, i don't really mind. You just seemed so shy before."
"Oh ya, i guess, sorta. So do you think you need any help with these kids? Not saying you would do a bad job or I'm concerned or anything"
"Sure come in we can just hang out and get to know each other better"
"Okay"
I step off of her front porch and come inside. It has a warm forest feel and it smells like pine trees which makes me feel at home. She pulls me by her dainty hand down her hallway to her living room where our brothers are playing and eating cucumber sandwiches, i sit down on her couch and we talk for a while.
"So"
"So, what do you like to do on you spare time?"
"I usually go out somewhere and take a walk and just take some time to think about things. How about you?"
"I like to play video games and watch TV and stuff like that"
"Can i tell you something i have never told anyone in my whole life?"
"Um, ya sure!"
"I really love video games, and not like semi violent games the full on zombie, killing, brain crushing kind"
"Really? Me too!"
"Do you want to play some? I have a huge collection in my basement"
"Sure"
Me and Brently walk downstairs and our brothers follow and  play on his Hot Wheel car set he got for Christmas. When we walk up to the box of games his eyes widen.
"Zombie Crush 1, 2, 3, and 4, Attack, Zombie Highway, 'Die Zombie' 1, and 2, but two is way better."
"I know right? So which one are we gonna play first?"
"Zombie Crush 3, duh! 4 is way to over done"
"I was hoping you would say that!"
For the next 3 hours we play different zombie games and i have to admit hes good but not as good as me. I really like spending time with him, and it seems like we are really friends.
"Wow nice shot to his head!"
"Its a power shot, if you hold the 'a' button for 5 seconds it turns into a power gun"
"Let me try"
"Wow! You just like killed 4 zombies with one shot!"
"That was cool, Kay well all the soda is kicking in and i have to go to the washroom really bad, so.."
"Up the stairs and to the left"
"Thanks"
When he runs up the stairs i walk over to my brother and Nolen and i see now that they have move on to cutting the hair off of my old Barbie's.
"Um, Nolen"
"I told you we would get in trouble"
"No, i don't care, do you now if your brother likes anyone?"
"Why?"
"Because a friend asked"
"And is that friend you?"
"Okay, yes!"
"Okay, he tries to get my to guess and i don't know who for sure but all i know right now is that she has brown hair and brown eyes."
"But he has a girlfriend and she has blond hair, did he tell you this a long time ago?"
"No he told me that last night after he finished texting some girl"
"What?"
Then i heard the door open and i rush over to the couch to sit down.
"Are you ready to move onto Die Zombie 2?"
"Ya"
"Is something wrong? You seem sad."
"No, I'm not sad. just thinking about.. how I'm going to beat you in the game"
"You wish"
What did Nolen mean? He doesn't like Abigail? But then why is he dating her? He must not have been talking about me, i can think of so many other girls with a combination of brown hair and eyes. It cant be me. Later that night its time for Nolen and Brently to go home and I walk him to the door.
"Thanks for letting me stay, i had alot of fun, and i have to say your really good at those zombie games"
"Thanks, I'm glad you could stay too, well i will see you at school tomorrow"
I kneel down and give Nolen a hug goodbye and i whisper in his ear.
"Thanks"
"No problem"
"Okay well bye"
Then i lean in for a hug and she hugs me back.This gives me a feeling of relief because she doesn't hate me. 
Then i hug him goodbye and it makes me happy because we are no longer acquaintances we are friends and that means one step closer to love, but then there is Abigail.


The next morning i wake up really early so i can look really good since my new friend will be paying more attention to me and we can talk now and stuff and i cant wait to see him.
I wake up late and i try to look the best i can for Lorelei and Abigail. I grab my outfit i planned out last night that i laid out on my chair and put i on, i look super hot and i hope Lorelei thinks so too. I grab my bag and run out the door with no breakfast. 
I go to where my group of  friends usually hangs out in the morning and I'm the last one there i get greeted with Hi's and Hello's but only one sticks out from the group and it was Brently and when our eyes meet i feel something different than usual. He looks so good, and not just good hot!
When i see Lorelei my heart stops, i just couldn't think she could be more beautiful and there she goes and I'm forced to be putting my arm around Abigail when i would much rather have her in my arms.
"Hi"
"Hi Brently, you look really nice today."
"Thanks you too"
Everyone just stares at us talking and then we remember that we never used to talk and that it was weird to them, and i try to make it seem like nothing happened. 
"Oh Abigail you look so pretty as usual"
"Thanks, i know i look good, and so dose my hot hubby Brently, right baby?"
As she grabs him and starts making out with him i gag and turn away to prevent barfing on her super ugly outfit. I try to be nice. 
"I love you"
"Thanks"
Then the bell rings and i cant help laugh at his response and her face. As we walk inside they keep arguing. 
"Your supposed to say you love me back!"
"Fine, i love you, happy?"
"No, you have to say it so everyone can hear!"
"Fine, I LOVE YOU!" 
He screams at Mrs. Hannabee the oldest teacher in the school. She houghs and rushes into the school. Everyone starts laughing except for Abigail. 
"We are so through"
"Okay"
Abigail stops in her tracks and he runs up to the rest of the group and puts his arm around me and my stomach drops and i look up and him and he smiles down at me. All through class i think of what him putting his arm around me could have meant, dose he like me? Are we going out? At lunch i learn the answer to that. Me and my group of friends minus Brently and Abigail are in the cafeteria and we are all not eating our mystery meat and we are just talking about celebrity news. I don't talk about me and Brently hanging out last night because the only person who knows i like him is Charlotte and shes not here today so i will have to text her, but my thoughts get interrupted by my eyes catching a glimpse of Brently with his arm around Abigail. Yep him putting his arm around me = NOTHING! They come and take a seat. 
"Guess what everyone?"
"What?"
"Me and Brently are back together again!"
Everyone tries to act surprised when she tells us,then she grabs his face again but this time its different i see him pull back but she doesn't care and just pulls him in anyway and as they kiss he stares at me with sad eyes and for the moment of our eyes meet i know something was wrong and i needed to know what was wrong. I have a strong tendency to try and make people jealous and right now I'm feeling a really strong urge to do it.While they are still kissing i ask.
"Um Brently, i was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me tonight like as a date."
"Sure sounds like fun"
"But I'm coming right? I am your girlfriend you know."
"Ya i know i just want to spend some time with my new friend"
"Ya do you not trust me? Your own best friend?
"Well i guess so, but don't get any ideas hes mine, forever."
"I know and i wont"
"I will pick you up around 8"
"Okay"
Then i make a dramatic exit and try to make my butt look cute as i walk away because i hope hes looking and i do hear a whistle but not from him, its from some creepy kid that i don't know the name of but i always see him at the grocery store and he always stalks me so i try not to go alone anymore. 
Yes, I'm going on a date with Lorelei! i cant wait, i wonder what we are going to see. I know Abigail trusts me because she thinks shes the only person I'm gonna love which is not true at all and she thinks Lorelei is gonna make a move on me and i really hope she dose! Now i bet you want to know why i took back Abigail or why i was dating her in the first place. I wanted to get closer to Lorelei by dating her best friend but she wants a lot more than i do considering she trys to make out with my every 5 minuets and i have gotten in trouble 6 times for making out in the hall way and if my mom found out she would kill me! And the reason i got back with that psycho was because when i said no 3 times she started to cry and the only way to shut her up was to say yes and she knows i don't like PDA but she still forces me to  put my arm around her and make out with her.
When i get home from school i plan out my outfit to go to the movies with Brently. I grab a really cute purple shirt and a pair of dark washed jeans and a red heart necklace. i slip a 20 in my bag and some cherry lip gloss if it ends up that way (wink wink) and i wait on the couch for him to come.
I sit at home for a long time until i think its an appropriate time to start to get ready i pull on a brand new red shirt and some jeans and leave to go pick her up. I stand on her door step and take a deep breath and ding the door bell and she rushes to the door, and i cant help but gasp.
"Wow you look, amazing!"
"Um thanks Ive worn this to school before, oh you look super cute yourself, who are you trying to impress?"
"Ha ha, no one i just always try to look my best"
Under my breath i say "Even your bad is super hot"
"What?" 
"I said lets get going"
"Okay"
We walk out of the my house and start walking to the movies. I wanted some time to talk to him and ask him about the Abigail thing. I start to get really cold.
"Its really nice out"
"Ya and really dark and cold"
"Oh here"
He wraps me in his coat under his arm. Now i know friends don't do this because if they did that would be weird. Really weird. I know he cant just think of me as a friend.
"So whats with you a Abigail?"
"Oh, about that"
He starts to pull his arm off me, but i grab i and pull it over me tighter and snuggle into his chest.
At this point my heart is beating so fast and she can probably tell because she is snuggling me and this proves that she doesn't think of me as a friend.
"I was only dating her to get closer to you"
"Really?"
I look up at him and his eyes seem sincere and i can tell hes not lying.
"Well i don't think you could get and closer to me than this"
Than he lifts me up in the air and swings me around and pulls me into a hug.
"No this is closer"
I smile "I like it like this"
"Do you really want to go to the movies?"
"No not really , i heard Abigail was going there tonight to spy on us" 
"Do you want to go to the ice cream store down the block?"
"Sure"
We soon arrive in the store and it is filled with pink. He pays for us to share a milk shake and we sit and talk for hours. 
"I'm really happy you asked my out on a 'friendly' date because then i wouldn't have ever had the nerve to tell you how i feel"
"And how do you feel?"
"I feel different around you and your just so perfect and i couldn't imagine my life without you in it with me.
"Aw, and the only way i can fall asleep at night is thinking of you!"
Later when we are done our  milk shake we say thanks and leave the store and walk home.
"This is the best day ever"
"I think so too"
I quietly whisper "I love you" and he stops. I look up at him and he looks down at me and we both know at the exact same second what to do. I grab onto him and we start kissing in the middle of the side walk, i can hear car horns honking at us and we aren't kissing like him and Abigail do, its normal and he doesn't seem like hes trying to get away from me he seems like he really likes me and i like him too. He walks me back to my house, and we stop.
"So before you go, dose this mean were going out?"
"I guess so"
I go in for another kiss and we say good night and i watch him as he walks home into the darkness. I run inside to prevent getting attacked by a raccoon or maybe even a hobo, and i realise i feel much safer with him. I run up to my room and grab out my phone and start texting him all night.
I couldn't be happier, at all what so ever. She is my dream come true and she's was better than i thought she would be and those cherry lips! i like my lips and they still taste like cherries. Now what do i do about Abigail first of all she thinks i love her, she told me not to make a move or nothing (and more than that happened) and I'm dating her and her best friend. This cant turn out well.


The next morning i walk to school with Brently and me and him a cuddling like we were last night but then we got to the school and he pulled his arm off. I try to grab it back and i give him a sad/worried look. 
"Sorry, its just they don't really know us as friends yet and to see us dating would throw them off, plus i don't want Abigail to get  mad you know because i broke up with her and all"
"Okay that makes sense, but before we turn the corner i want another kiss"
I give her a kiss and we walk around the corner and i lick my lips, yep cherries. I feel really bad to lie to her because i didn't break up with Abigail. I don't like her. At all, but i don't want her to cry again! its so annoying.
"Wow i see the two of you are friends now"
"Yep"
I try to go in for a kiss but then i remember that its a secret.
"Just friends"
"Where were you two last night?"
"The ice cream shop"
"Our ice cream shop?"
"Its not really ours"
"Fine then ill make something else mine"
Then she grabs him and trys to kiss him and he fake sneezes in her face.
"Oh my gosh! Ew!"
"Oops sorry allergies"
When we walk away from her Brently grabs my hand and we try to make it unnoticeable so no one suspects we are dating. When me and him are alone i had to ask him something.
"Why did she try and kiss you?"
"She wouldn't take no for an answer but i told her i didn't like her anymore and she said she would consider it"
"Oh okay" i say sadly
"Don't worry, don't be sad, you are my girl and i will only love you."
He gives me a kiss and a hug before i go off to class. All during class I'm thinking if weather or not i should tell Abigail that I'm dating Brently and its not her decision. I'm going to. I see her down he hall and i quickly walk down the hall when i get pulled back. Its Brently and he gives me a quick kiss.
"Where are you going in such a rush?"
"I'm really bothered by Abigail and i need to tell her to back off my man"
I love it when she says that but i cant have her tell her. I know eventually i will have to but i cant have her have a spaz on my woman. Nah it works better when she says it.
"No you cant"
"Why not?"
"Because i don't want her to hurt you" 
"Okay but it really is bothering me"
"Okay i will go and talk to her now"
"Thanks"
I give him a hug and he walks over to her and she looks pretty devastated, i sorta feel bad now.
I walk over to Abigail and she seems pretty happy to see me.
"Hey cutie, wheres your new best friend"
"Down the hall"
"Can you promise me you did nothing with that girl that you would regret?"
"Yes, i didn't do anything and i love you"
"I know you do, so why did you come over here"
"I just wanted to tell you Fish died"
"Oh my gosh!"
"Ya"
"It must be really tough for you"
"Ya it really is but i have to go now"
"Good luck"
She leans in for a hug and i walk away over to Lorelei.
He comes back over to me giving me a thumbs up.
"So what did she say?"
"Well i told her that i love you and she was pretty sad but she understood"
"That's good"
"So, do you want to go kiss considering we are officially a couple now?"
"Wow your so cute, you just want to have a reason to make out don't you?"
"Ya pretty much"
We run out of the hallway and in to the janitors closet to make out.
Why did they just go in there? Shes just probably really stupid and she needed help to find some cleaning supplies to clean her ego. I walk over to the door and i hear kissing noises! Lorelei, that trader she knew i loved him for a week and she doesn't give me any time to do my 'thing' with him before she comes in. Hes probably being forced to kiss her. At least when he kisses me he enjoys it! I hear the door opening. And i run to hide behind some lockers. They just come out giggling then they split up and i follow Lorelei.
"Hey girl"
"Oh um, hi Abigail whats up"
"I was wondering if you wanted to sleepover at my house tonight?"
"Actually i sorta have plans with my.."
"Come on it will be fun"
"I will think about it"
"Okay, talk to you later girlie"
Shes so weird. I sorta don't want to go. I had plans with Brently and he was going to come over to play video games. After class i run into him.
"Hey babe" I give him a kiss
"Hey whats up?"
"Well Abigail asked me to sleepover tonight"
"But i thought we were gonna play video games and make out!"
"Trust me i would much rather do that, but its your decision"
I really wanted to hang out with her tonight but if she says no she will make a big commotion and she will find out that i didn't break up with her and she will hate me. Shes going.
"You should go. If shes willing to forgive you i would take it, we can make out anytime but if you say no to this she will hate you forever."
"That's true, okay i will but can we make up some of that making out right now?"
"Sure"


Later on in the day i run into Abigail and tell her I'm going to come to her house.
"Hey Abigail, I'm gonna go to your house"
"Perfect! We are going to have so much fun!"
"Are we going to gossip?"
"Duh! that's what makes a good sleepover"
"Fine"
I really don't want news that I'm making out with Brently on school property getting back to my mom, she would kill me! Later on that night as I'm packing up for pure torcher I'm thinking of how much fun i could be having if i chose the other option. An hour later i ring her door bell and she runs to the door.
"Hi come on in"
"Okay"
"Just follow me upstairs"
I sit down stairs with no help for a while. 
"Whats taking you so long?"
"I have to take my stuff off"
"Okay"
I invited her over here so i could find out what is going on between Lorelei and Brently! They have been acting differently, they are talking. And its creeping me out!
I make my way up to her room which looks the exact same as the last time i was here i place my bags in the corner and sit on the bed. I grab out my phone to text Brently and to text Charlotte to find out where she has been all week. I feel really bad that i didn't have the time to talk to her because i was spending so much time with Brently.
"Nope no phones, Only gossip"
"But i can get gossip on my phone"
"True , but i don't think you could get good gossip anyway."
"Fine"
"Okay so did you see Kurt Burkens hair yesterday? Apparently he woke up late and his hamster made a nest in his hair while he was asleep and he didn't have the time to get it out."
"Really? That's Cool"
I try to act like it was amazing news, but i would personally rather her get mad and me be a home in comfy pj's with my hot boyfriend than her. But suddenly one question caught my attention.
"Do you know who Brently is dating now?"
"Um no"
"Are you sure"
"Ya"
"You haven't seen him with anyone new, maybe them acting a little different too?"
"Nope not at all, Next Question!"
"No thanks i want to go tot sleep now, you can go sleep on that blanket on the floor"
I look down to see a towel on the floor. 
"Seriously?"
"Ya, Now shut up and go to bed, you need the beauty sleep"
"Fine"
I have everything i need. I know they are going out, i can just tell. I have a very good sense of when people are liers .Good for me, bad for the liers. And i don't just tell someone off i make scene and I'm going to catch them kissing and break the news to poor Lorelei. Oh well.
In the morning i wake up to another note on my head, I'm hoping to see a weird animal but instead i read a note which says 'Get Out!'. So i do i pack up my bags and leave the house without a good bye. I grab out my phone and text Brently.
"Hey Cutie, Did you have fun?"
"Not at all"
"Where are you?"
"Walking home"
"Come to my house and we can talk about it, Kay?"
"I will be right over"
A minuet or two later i get to his house and Nolen opens the door.
"Lorelei!"
Nolen runs over and gives me a hug.
"Hey cutie"
"I know who he likes"
"Who?"
He whispers in my ear.
"Its you"
I gasp" Oh my goodness! Really?" 
He nods
"He told me and he said you kissed him"
"Really?"
He walks down the stairs.
"What?"
"Apparently you like me"
"It was a secret"
"But i like you too"
And me and him kiss. Nolen shields his eyes. 
"Ew gross."
"Ha, Come on Lorelei lets go up to my room"
"No kissing"
"I cant promise that"
I smile down a Nolen and he looks grossed out. We walk into his room and close the door and start kissing to make up for not being able to last night.
"So, why was your night so horrible?"
"She just gossiped the whole time"
"That must have sucked!"
"Ya but then she mentioned you"
"What did she say?"
"She asked who you were going out with"
"That creepy"
"Shouldn't she know that?"
"Why?"
"Because you told her you loved me and you couldn't be with her anymore."
"Oh ya, about that, I only told her we were over, i didn't say i loved you."
"Oh"
"I'm so sorry, its just shes your best friend and i dint want her to get really mad at me"
"It's okay i lied too"
"Huh?"
"I said i was her best friend, I'm not. My best friend is Charlotte and i only said i was best friends with Abigail was so i could get closer to you."
"Really?"
"Ya"
Then me and him kiss again. About an hour later i grab my stuff together and go home. The first thing i do is text Charlotte and i feel really bad that i haven't been paying attention to her at all, and i need to find out whats going on with her.
"Hey, I'm so sorry i didn't text you, I've been with Brently. Anyway how are you?"
"Really you were with Brently that's so cool! How did it happen?"
"I asked him out on a date"
"I'm so proud of you"
"Thanks, so where have you been?" 
"I'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner but this weekend i was in my bedroom walking around and i collapsed to the floor and i got rushed to the hospital."
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, are you okay? Why did you fall?"
"They tested me and i have cancer in my shoulder and its making its way up to my brain"
I stand there shocked. Did i just seriously read that? Is she seriously going to die?
"Your going to live right?"
"I don't know. They have to do more tests to find out if they can do surgery but they think i probably wont live for another week"
I stand there shocked. I sit on the bed and start to cry. My parents rush up stairs.
"Oh my goodness, Lorelei are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
I just sit there and keep crying and my Dad sits next to me and i hand him my phone. He sits and reads it and he gasps and put his arm around me.
"I'm so sorry"
"I just cant believe she might die"
"Don't worry its the doctors job to save peoples lives and i think shes going to be fine"
"Really?"
"Yes but she probably needs a friend right now"
"Ya"
I grab phone and text her again and my dad gets up and leaves.
"I can i visit you?"
"Sorry, No. I have to get some more tests done but i can have friends over in around a week"
"Okay i will see you then."
"Okay well i have to go take another test, i will see you next week."
I put i my phone down and take a take a deep breath. I get ready to go to bed and shut off the lights and pull the blankets over my head. I wake up the next morning and go to school. I really don't want to because I'm just really sad and i just cant be around Brently like that. But i have to. When i get to school i walk up to our friends and Abigail is linking arms with Brently and when he sees me he pushes her arm off.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"Hi Lorelei, hows it going?"
"Fine, i guess"
"That's so interesting"
Whats wrong with Lorelei? Is it because she saw me linking arms with Abigail? I just didn't want to make her mad and Lorelei didn't come to my house this morning to walk with me, obviously something is wrong and i need to find out what it is.
I'm walking down to my locker when i hear some one yell my name. I look around and i don't see anyone. Then i feel someone rap there arms around me from behind me.
"Hey cutie"
"Hi."
"Whats wrong?"
"Can i tell you later?"
"Do you want to break up with me? Do you not like me anymore?"
"No i really do, its just i don't want anyone listening in on us."
"Oh okay"
"Okay i will meet you outside at lunch and i will tell you"
"Okay"
I give her a kiss on the cheek and i leave for class. I feel really bad and i don't know whats wrong and i hope she still loves me.
I follow Lorelei around all day and i see him kiss her on the cheek but that's not what I'm looking for i need something more gossipy.
At lunch me and Brentlly go outside so we can have some privacy so i can tell him about Charlotte and why I'm so sad. 
Around lunch i see Lorelei and Brently walk outside into the parking lot and i follow them out and hide behind a car.
"Okay so whats wrong?"
"Well, last night i was texting Charlotte and she has cancer and she might die"
"Oh my gosh, seriously? I'm so sorry, i know how shes your best friend and all"
"Its okay, at least i have you"
Then he pulls me into a hug and we kiss.
Perfect.
"Oh my gosh Brently! Why are you kissing Lorelei? I thought you were my boyfriend!"
"What is she talking about?"
"I'm talking about how you and my boyfriend are making out! Come on Brently"
What? She grabs his arm and tries to pull him away. I pull him back.
"I'm sorry."
"Why didn't you tell her? Do you like her?"
"No i love you!"
"What? No you love me right hubby?"
"No, i don't. I love you Lorelei"
"Then why wouldn't you tell her that you did?"
"Um. I don't know."
"Fine then"
I walk down to my house and skip the rest of the day.
"Wow baby, shes so sensitive. I'm so happy we are together"
"Okay, I don't like you. At all. I love her and i need her now and don't follow me or you will never get a chance"
"Wow, okay but when you want me back and i say no don't complain."
"Trust me i wont."
"Fine."
I can't believe he doesn't want me back! I'm way better than her and I'm prettier to! I don't know why he would like her better. He was supposed to let her get mad and run away and me and him would go out!
I run after her and i run into her at her house. I grab her hand and turn her around. 
"Wait!"
"What do you want?"
"I want you!"
"Well i want you to leave me alone!"
"I'm sorry, I was going to tell her"
"What? When she starts making out with you in front of me? Your a lier!"
"I was stupid! I wish i told her sooner! I would rather be with you."
"Well you should have thought of that sooner"
I slam the door in his face and walk up stairs. I cant believe he lied to me! The only reason why he wouldn't tell her is if he still liked her. I cant believe this.
She is never going to forgive me! I love her so much and this is all my fault. And i wish i could change this and get her back. I need to. I found out she was going to the hospital that weekend to visit Charlotte and i think that would be a great chance to prove to her i love her and to say hi to Charlotte. Then she will see I'm caring and she will want to go out with me. 
I get ready to go and see Charlotte for the first time in a while and i really hope shes happy to see me. I get my mom to drop me off at the hospital and i walk into Charlotte's room and i see her in the bed and i go to give her a hug.
"Hi"
"Hi, I'm so happy to see you, so hows it going with Brently?"
"We broke up"
"Really? Why?"
"He didn't brake up with Abigail"
"What a jerk"
"Ya. But he had to have a good reason right?"
"I don't know. Maybe"
"Anyway. Om so sorry."
"For what?"
"You"
"Oh its okay. Its not a big deal. They said i will most likely live"
"But are you worried?"
"Not really, I'm fine i just have a little trouble breathing, but they said i should recover soon"
"That's good"
"Um Lorelei."
"Ya?"
"You have a visitor."
I turn around to see Brently standing in the door way.
"Hi Charlotte, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine, it just hurts."
"Oh, okay. Well i was wondering if i could talk to Lorelei for a second."
"Go ahead"
I pull her out in the empty hall way so we can have some privacy.
"Why are you here?"
"I needed to talk to you"
"Why? You knew that we were over."
"But i cant forget you. And i need you. Please, this will be the only mistake i will ever make."
"Why should i believe you?"
"Because i love you"
"And why should i say yes?"
"If you love me too."
I grab him and pull him into a hug and i hear him make a sigh of relief and hug me tighter. Then we hear the heart rate in the room move to a long beep. We both run in. And i look at Charlotte. Then at Brently. Shes dead. I grab onto him and cry. Then suddenly i hear a beep my eyes widen and i wipe the tears from my eyes and i see her and shes breathing. 
"She's alive!"
"Charlotte?! Are you okay?"
I see her moving but shes having a little trouble talking.
"I think shes okay."
I see her nod her head and me and Brently run over to hug her. Later that week when shes more stable me and Brently come back in to see her. The Nurse is in the room pouring her some more water. 
"Hi Charlotte!"
I run over and give her a hug.
"Hi, so i see you two are together again."
"Yep"
"So hows it at school?"
"Boring as usual"
"That sounds fun"
"It isn't"
"Ya."
"So when will you be coming back to school?"
"Next week"
"Really? That's Awesome!"
"Ya, I can wait to see everyone!"
I start to cry.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just so happy your okay"
"Aw thanks, I'm happy you could be here with me."
I run over to her and give her another hug and this time Brently comes too. 
"I love you guys"
"I love you too"
"Me too"
