Crying On The Inside Chapter 6
Michelle held JC's hand as they walked down the hall
together that Monday at school. They looked at each
other from time to time admiring one another. They got
stares especially from girls who liked JC. Michelle
didn't mind that he had so many girls that liked him.
He was cute. When they reached their lockers they
split
up but kept staring at each other and smiling as if
they had a secret they hid from the world. After
school that day the six of them met by their cars in
the parking lot to discuss things.
"Where to today?" Joey said. Brianna was wiping
lipstick off his cheek.
"We haven't been the hangout lately," JC said.
The hangout was a diner that kids from their school
went to hang out after school. They decided to go but
not to hang out. They had to make the ususal
appearance. When they got there it was the ususal
crowd. The more well known kids who were worthy to
hang out with such as fellow cheerleaders and ball
players. They sat at their table and the waitresses
there knew what they liked to eat and didn't even
bother to go to the table to ask. They were served in
less than 15 minutes. After they ate they decided to
hang out for a while. Some guys from the team came by
to talk to the guys. Michelle excused herself to go
to the bathroom. She checked her appearance in the
mirror before going into the stall. Once in there she
heard two girls come in after her. They immediatley
began to talk.
"Did you see Josh? Fine as hell as usual," a girl
said.
Michelle recognized her voice as Philiana Ng, a
girl from her English class. Philiana was pretty in
Michelle's opinion. She was about 5'7 with wavy light
brown hair that had auburn streaks and dark brown
eyes. She was half Hawaiian and half Caucasion and had
a very fair complexion. Michelle thought she was one
of the prettiest girls in school besides herself
Brianna and Heather. The two of them never spoke to
each other but weren't enemies.
"Girl he is taken and you know that," another
girl said.
Michelle did't recognize her voice so easy
but assumed it was Jackie Anderson, Philiana's best
friend. She also had brown hair but hers went all the
way to her butt. She had blue/green eyes and was about
5'5. She was very pretty to and gave Michelle the most
competition when it came to fashion.
"Who cares! I flirt with him a lot and it seems
to get through sometimes but that girl is standing in
my way. I hope they break up and I could have him,"
Philiana said.
"Break up! Please he's cute she's pretty and they
make the perfect couple. I don't like her as much as
you do but at least you've got to admit the truth,"
Jackie said. Michelle heard Philiana sigh.
"Well it doesn't hurt to try to take him away.
When I kissed him he didn't seem to mind," Philiana
said laughing.
"When did this happen!" Jackie said excitedly.
"Last week. You should see the way he looks at me
sometimes. You could see it in his face that he's not
getting any. I feel bad for him his girlfriend's a
prude," Philiana said.
"Girl you are so bad," Jackie said.
Michelle
couldn't hear the rest of what they were saying and
then heard the door close. She was so angry she didn't
know what to do. She left out the bathroom forgetting
to use it. She walked up to the table and stood there.
JC stood up so she could sit back in her seat.
"I'm leaving," she said to them and walked out.
She heard Heather and Brianna say something and then
get up. JC went with them. Michelle ran to her car
tears in her eyes.
"Michelle what's the matter?" Brianna yelled. She
was already at her car and she got in and drove away.
In her car she cried. How could JC kiss her? Why did
the two of them hate her so much? She thought she had
no enemies but she was wrong. Once she got home she
went to her room. She sat on the bed thinking of
something to say to JC. She didn't want to yell and
make a scene to make him upset. She knew he would come
by and he did a few minutes later. She heard the
doorbell and went downstairs. They were all there to
see how she was.
"Are you okay?" JC and Heather asked.
"I'm fine," she said moving aside so they could
come in.
"Why did you leave like that?" Joey asked.
"I was upset. JC can we talk?" she said. JC got
up and followed her in the kitchen. He hugged her and
she let him.
"What's wrong?" he asked sincerely.
"I heard something from Philiana. She said you
kissed her," she said calmly.
"Philiana from English class?" JC asked. She
nodded. JC's expression changed from sincere to guilty
to upset.
"Are you accusing me of kissing her?" JC said a
little angry.
"No I'm just asking," Michelle said how sorry
that she had even brought it up.
"I can't believe you would think I would do that.
You know I love you. Well maybe you don't know that,"
JC said now even more angry.
"JC I was just.." she said softly.
"No maybe you don't love me. Is that it?" he
asked cutting her off.
"Yes I love you," she said going to hug him but
he pushed her away.
"No you don't. You know what I'm leaving," he
said turning away. Michelle started to cry and went
after him. She hugged him even though he didn't hug
her back.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I do love you. JC
please don't leave," she said. He hugged her back and
Michelle forgot all about Philiana.
"I love you to," he said. They kissed and forgot
about the whole situation.
JC stood there hugging his girlfriend and laughed to
himself abut how easy it was to get out of that
predicament. He was guilty because he did kiss
Philiana but he couldn't actually confess to it. So he
turned the whole thing around and like all the other
times it worked. At first he felt bad when he did that
to her because he did love her. But after finding out
how easy it was to make her feel guilty about not
loving him, he did it all the time. He kissed her and
made her forget what she even asked. He decided to use
his technique to get more out of her. He knew he
would get what he wanted out of her. It was just a
matter of time.
