Thank you to all that have e-mailed me and you ca continue sending e-mails to historias46@hotmail.com . I'm trying to make chapters longer so probably the chapters will start to be longer, again thank you and enjoy the reading Pumpkin 5 I don't know how I felt, I just didn't want to stay there, I looked one last time at Pete and said something to Sara" Sara, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back!" She looked at me strangely" You're alright?" I nodded and walked really fast to the bathroom, I was on automatic mode, my legs were taking me to the bathroom automatically, I was totally...I don't know how I was feeling in that moment I just wanted to get away from everything... I entered the bathroom, and luckily it was empty, I went to the mirror and saw that I had some tears, I whipped them off and looked at myself on the mirror, and started thinking" How could I think that someone like Pete would ever like me? I mean I don't have anything special, and he has everything special, except being loyal... but probably I deserve that, I don't deserve Pete, he is too good to me..."I splashed some water on my face and recovered myself, the day that I thought that was going to be the best of my life because I was going to see Pete, was already becoming one day to forget... ... I was late to class, fortunately I was going to have 2 hours of Math, and my Math's teacher was pretty cool, so he wasn't going to be mad or anything... I knocked on the door, and after hearing the reply I entered. Pete was sated in one of the front seats near the door, so the first person that I saw was Pete, he looked at me like if he was saying" Please let me explain", I looked away and invented an apology to the teacher. I went to my seat (next to Sara), and started getting ready to the class. Suddenly Sara passed me a piece of paper" Read it" she whispered, I opened it" What's wrong? Why didn't you waited for Pete?" I grabbed my pen "Cause Pete already had company, and by the looks of it he didn't needed me...", I passed here the paper and gave it to her, she read it and gasped, everyone around her looked at her, she blushed and said sorry, she wrote something and passed the paper to me" Does that mean what I think that means?", I smiled" Yeahp, I caught him kissing another girl, we'll talk later...", I passed the paper, she read it smiled, and said ok. Math is soooo boring; I was inside this damm room for one hour and fifteen minutes listening to the teacher talking about numbers and more numbers, as I always do when I'm bored during classes I started looking around to the rest of the people, Sara was trying to do some stupid exercise, Kimb was has bored has I was, Kat was talking to Susy, probably about her boyfriend, lucky her she still had a boyfriend... Gill was just looking at the teacher, trying to understand what he was saying, Lara was drawing something on a piece of paper, and Pete, Pete was...normal, he wasn't even a little bit worried, at least it was what seemed from behind him... "Psst" I heard someone call behind me I turned around and John gave me another piece of paper, I opened it and inside it was written only" Sorry", I don't know what come over me but I just grabbed the paper asked permission to the teacher and right in front of Pete I putted it on the trash can, I wasn't mad at him because the girl kissed him, I was mad because he continued the kiss... ... "Since I've done everything that I wanted, you can go 10 minutes before the class ends" our teacher said Everyone cheered and started getting out of the room, I waited for Sara and we both went outside, we were the only ones that come out 10 minutes earlier, so we were all alone in the school. To pass time we sated in the grass "So, what happened?" Sara asked "Well, when we were waiting for Pete this morning, I saw him on the stairs with some new girl, then when they were saying goodbye she kissed him one the mouth and he continued the kiss" I said "Are you absolutely sure?" Sara asked me "Yeahp, I know what I saw" I said sighing" I'm not mad because the girl kissed him. I'm mad because he continued it..." "I didn't continued the kiss" I heard Pete say behind me" She had her arm around my waist and I couldn't move..." "I think it's my time to leave" Sara said getting up" I'll be in the bar if you need anything..." She walked away, and Pete sated on her spot" Yeah I bet that you didn't even flirted with her, she was making you flirt with her, right?" He looked at me" I'm sorry" "Don't be, you're the way you are... you like to flirt and to be flirted on, and I was to stupid to see that you could like someone like me and for believing that you could be in a serious relationship with anyone... you just like to be free... I didn't want you to run away from everyone and only have eyes for me; you're a person you have the right to look at others, but do what you've done it's just isn't right... maybe we can be friends..."I said containing my tears "You have the right to be mad, I would be mad if I had caught you kissing another person, I just...she grabbed me and kissed me right there, she had more strength than what I was expecting... I'm really sorry. "He said looking straight at me" You're right I like to flirt, and being flirted on... but I...I just feel special when I'm with you, you aren't like other people, I like you, I really like you, please just give me one more chance..." I looked at him, he was begging, he seemed to be telling the truth, and those eyes didn't helped one bit..."I...I need to think for a while" I said getting up" I'll tell you my decision in the end of this break" I said walking away I heard him say one more time please, I sighed, I walked to the soccer field, Mike was probably there. ... When I got to the soccer field Mike and Gill were talking about some video game, I sighed and sated near them, I didn't wanted to bother them "Michael" I heard some girl say, I looked around to see Michelle walking towards me, she sated next to me and in a very African way said" So, how did vacations go?" "Pretty well, since you weren't there I had the time of my life..." "You are soooooooo funny Mike..."She said squeezing a little too much my shoulder" But I also don't care about your vacations, I'm here to introduce a new friend of mine, she told me that she wanted to meet you and I made the huge sacrifice to come here and introduce you two" She said grinning "You are such a saint "I said sarcastically She rolled her eyes" Katy, Katy come here please" She shouted to a girl that had her back to us She turned around and my jaw almost hit the floor, that was the bitch that had kissed Pete, she was proving me that she was really a slut, I mean, wearing a very small top, a skirt that didn't left to much to the imagination, and all this during Spring "Mike this is Katy, Katy this is Mike" Michelle said smiling I kissed Katy on the cheek and she did the same" Nice to meet you, Michelle told me a lot about you..." "I bet it was all good things" I said smiling "Well, I'd love to stay here and talk, but me and Katy have more things to do, so if you'll excuse me Mike" Michelle said grabbing Katy "Goodbye Mike" Katy said "Bye" I said waving "Already cheating on Pete?" I heard someone say behind me I turned around quickly to see Mike and Gill standing there grinning "No, if I would cheat on him, I would use Mikey here, he is so cute" I said getting a little too close to Mike "Hey, don't even think about it" Mike said laughing "No, I'm just thinking a little..."I said, I already had made my decision, I was just resting a little "Great, then you can come with us to the bar" Gill said smiling "Sure lets go" I said grabbing my books ... The bar wasn't much crowed, Sara and the rest of the people were together in a table and while Gill and Mike went to buy something at the bar, I sated down next to Sara "So, how are things?" She whispered to me "I asked time to think" I whispered back She smiled and we started listening to David's joke about blonds, and Susy's counter attacks with jokes about guys( Susy was blond...), suddenly Pete appeared and said hello to everyone, he grabbed a chair and sated next to Kimb, everyone looked at me smiling, I just rolled my eyes. "Pete, can I talk with you?" I said getting up "Sure" he said getting up as well We both walked away with a lot of stares from the table, I walked in front of him till the bathroom, the only place private on the whole school... "Have you decided yet?" Pete asked nervously I nodded "So?" he asked almost jumping I smiled and kissed him with all that I had; he was surprised at first, but then started to respond to the kiss" Does this mean that you give me a second chance?" "Yeahp, I just like you too much to give you to that Katy..." I said rolling my eyes "How do you know her name?" he asked lifting an eyebrow "Michelle introduced us!" I said kissing him one more time "Oh, OK" He said kissing me" You know you have a nice ass!" I blushed really deep" I'm not joking, while we were coming to the bathroom I checked it out and it wasn't bad!" "Well yours isn't bad either..."I said smiling He smiled and kissed mea again ... When I got to the bar I smiled at Sara and she said finally. We continued talking until Sara told me that she needed to tell me something, we walked to a quieter corner and she started "Mike, I think that I'm in love" she said nervously I smiled" Finally, I guess it's time to you to fall in love!" She rolled her eyes" Who is it?" I asked "You know Jack from the 9th grade?" "He is one year younger than us..." "No, he is doing the 9th grade for the second time" She said smiling "So, for how long?" I asked "Since I saw him, the strangest is that I never really talked to him..." she said sighing "But then it's a physical thing right?" I asked confused "No, cause I really like him, I'm so confused Mike" She said resting her head on my shoulder, I started stroking her hair "Don't worry everything will be alright" I said smiling" Hey, it's the first time that I have consoled you..." "I guess that there is a first thing to everything..."she said" Now lets go, I wanna talk about other things!" ... My P.E classes were really boring, our teacher just said that we could play whatever we wanted to play, and I passed the entire class doing nothing... There were two choices: stay in the gym and play basketball or go outside and play soccer or anything else. I always went outside and do nothing. This time I went outside with Sara to drink some water. We were happily talking when suddenly Jack appeared on the top of the stairs, I looked at Sara and she was looking down, I smiled and continued walking like if nothing had happened, Sara went along when I heard Jack shout "Wait" Me and Sara looked behind us to see Jack running to us, I grinned and looked at Sara who had a surprised look on her face" Can I talk to you for a sec?" Jack asked Sara "Alone?" "Su...Sure" Sara said nervously I smiled and continued to my journey for water. I found a place to drink water and started drinking, while I was doing this a pair of arms come around my waist, I stooped drinking water and turned around" How did I guesses that it was you?" "Probably because there isn't anyone else that hugs you the way I do" Pete said coming close to me "Pete, not here, someone can come and find us" I said trying to resist "Everyone is having classes..." Pete said grinning Ok, he had a point, so I just kissed him... We were in our own little world when we heard someone cough; we stooped immediately to see Sara smiling like if she had won the lottery "So, what did Mr. Perfection want?" I asked looking at her She smiled and started drinking water; I groaned" Please tell me..." "He wanted to tell me that he had seen me looking at him and that he would like to start something with me..."Sara said simply "And what did you said?" I asked excitedly "I said no!" she said smiling "You said what????" I almost shouted "I don't even know the guy..."she said adjusting her t-shirt" So we decided to spend more time together to know each other..." "That's great "I said hugging her "I don't know what the hell you're two are talking about..."Pete said "I bet that Mike will tell you when you two are alone..." Sara said walking away "Hey, are you saying that I'm easy?" I asked running after Sara TBC...
