Chapter the Sixth

Did I really just lose a friend?

Amber's POV

"So... They just packed up and left?" Eva questions as she sips on her drink. For the past few minutes, I've tried my best in explaining that my parents just moved out without a proper explanation. "Yes Eva, we've gone over this for like two hours!" I respond, forking a piece of chocolate cake and placing it in my mouth.

     "It's not my fault that your story has me a little confused. You mean to tell me they didn't even say where they were headed?"

     It was at exactly ten in the morning when Eva entered my house, using the key I gave her. She stormed up to my room and almost gave me a heart attack. Good thing I was already awake and doing some Bio on my own. If I was asleep, then, I'd be on a hospital bed at this moment. I would have fainted because persons don't wake me up on a morning.

     After explaining why she was here, we chatted for a bit. She insisted that we were spending the entire day together. No matter how many times I complained about me needing to study, she was quick to reply. Being smart and popular, Eva hated when my head was always in a book. She constantly told me that I had plenty of time for that later.

     I had no other choice but to oblige, I mean, she threatened me! If I didn't get out of my room and put an end to my studying, she would post the picture of me wearing my dinosaur pajamas on Facebook. That day my hair was a mess and I blocked my face with a pancake. Embarrassing, you have no idea.

     Professionally, I set my terms. She was to go in the supermarket, buy juice, cake and ice cream and then we could have a day of fun. Eva didn't see anything bad about the bargain so she went along with it. 

     My teeth were all up in curls the moment I saw the packages. God dammit, I am gonna get fat!

     "Eva, okay let's forget about that incident because your confusion is even greater than mine," I started saying, taking a spoon of ice cream and placing it in my mouth. Yes, we were eating all three products at the same time. Continuing with what I was saying, I ask, "So about the principal's step daughter... What are your intentions?"

     "She's my prey of course. What do you think my intentions are?" Eva asks, just after almost chocking on the juice she was once drinking. Now, she placed the glass on the counter of the island.

     "Oh my Eva, she's so innocent! Fiannce Abigail Cobbler will never go for a pervert like you though," I say, ignoring the fact that Fiannce is also straight. Rolling her eyes playfully at me Eva replies, "Amber, let's get some things straight here..."

     Because she trailed off, I raised an eye brow at her, waiting for her to continue what she was about to say. For some reason I was a little scarred of her response, Eva can be unpredictable at times.

     "One, you my dear friend are this pervert’s best friend so that doesn't make you any better. Two, we already had this conversation yesterday and three, Eva Simon always gets what she wants."

     Eva was now smirking at me and I couldn't help but flicking a piece of cake at her. A gasp escapes her lips at my gesture. The look she gave me was enough to reflect her inner thoughts. "This means war my little nerd."

     Hurriedly, I sprang up from the stool. The run for my life was already in place. Sad thing was I cannot run to save my life. 

     Resembling a one legged penguin on hot rocks, I ran out of the kitchen and into the living room and then into the lounge and then through our home library and then in the dining room. All this time I was running, I realized one important aspect of it all, so important that I stopped my running immediately.

     Eva was not chasing after me. 

     Our kitchen was opened to the dining room and the living room. So, I practically made and entire circle around the down stairs of my house through all the rooms without doors and Eva was still seated in the same position. 

    Peeping my head inside of the kitchen, making sure that the cost was clear, a piece of cake was coming at me in so much speed. I was frozen in place and accepted my fate. All the chocolate icing splattered on my face and the cake then fell and stained my white shirt. 

     Eva's laughter was so loud and uncontrolled at this point. She even managed to slip off the stool and clutched her stomach on the floor. It seems that she was replaying the whole scenario in her head. There was nothing that I could do at this point than to wipe this chocolaty goodness off of my face.

     "That was no fair," I whine, picking up the slice of cake from the floor and taking a bite. Hey, don't judge! The floor is clean and it hasn't even been five seconds yet! And to make it worse, she sent my slice at me!

     "Ew Amber you're so gross! Go wash your face and throw that cake away!" Eva comments; still laughing a little. I pout, knowing that my cake was still good. "Don't be stubborn, A," She says, getting up from the floor and walking towards me.

     "But... but... but...-"

    "You sound like a broken record. Now, fork it over," She states with her hand extended. My eyes move to her hand and to the slice of cake in mine. "Oh dang it..!" I say, bringing the cake to her hands slowly and then changed its course. The cake arrived in my mouth faster than Usain Bolt when he ran a race.

     Eva's mouth hangs open at the site of my stuffing my mouth with cake. I was forcing, that was for sure. To express my point clearly, I was half chocking at this point. Being the fabulous friend Eva was, she pulled out her phone and snapped a few pictures of me.

     My eyes widen upon realization of the severity of my situation. This was too risky. Eva should not have taken that picture to add to her collection. I mean, my face wasn't covered in this one!

     "Yes your face is covered! So, it counts as one of those pictures ha-ha. Though you sounded really funny, don't talk while you eat Amber," She says, taking a sit on a stool nearest to her.

      There I go again, speaking my thoughts out loud. 

     Done swallowing all the contents of the cake in my mouth, I walked up to the sink and tried my best to clean my face and pass a towel on my shirt. I made more of a mess on my shirt but it was alright, I was planning on taking a shower sooner or later.

     "Later in the day I'll text you all these pictures and our once a month embarrassing moment and most ridiculous secret segment," She states and I went in complete panic mode.

     Taking a seat on a stool next to her, I wanted to tell her about the Jaden thing but the words which exited my mouth were, "It's that time of month already?" 

     "Yes..? We spoke about it the whole of last week," She says, looking at me with a confused expression. I let out a shaky laugh and then reply, "Oh yeah... Um about that-"

     "Hold up," She stops me and gives her ringing phone all her attention. Answering it politely she quickly changes her tone and began to have an entire conversation with whoever it was on the other side of the line.

     How was I going to do this? There was no way that she would send something really bad today, was there? I mean, Jaden has full ducking access to my text messages. If she sends the photos plus embarrassing moments and secrets... then... he would actually fulfill what he stated last night. 

     I wouldn't want that! Oh my God, I will become more of a low life that ever!

     "Yeah sure," Eva says, ending the phone call and giving me a sorry look. "We have an unexpected student council meeting. The principal just called the president and he called me to tell me this. Gosh sometimes I hate being involved in the school's clubs and shit." 

     "Well don't stay here and chat with me, get going," I say shooing her off. 

     Shaking her head at me, she gets up, leans in and then licks my cheeks. My eyes widen at her gesture, "It seems you missed a spot," She winks at me and headed to the front door. I followed behind all flustered.

     "Y-Yeah..." I say trailing off behind oddly, it felt nice when she licked me.

     "I'll be back later... During the meeting I'll send you the texts," Giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek she skips out of my house and hops into her car. I waved her from the front door and watched as my hot friend drove away in the direction of the school.

     After locking up, I had nothing better to do than to read a book. 

    For the entire time I was home alone, nothing really interesting went on. For about an hour's time, I was reading a book. Take my word for it when I say that this was the most boring book I've ever read in my entire life. I couldn't even pronounce the title properly. The sentence structure was so foreign to me that I wondered who was the dumb-brain who paid to have this published.

     I was so disappointed in the book that I researched the author, publishers and those persons who gave references. I was really lucky to find the book's main page and to realize that this was just a knock off after all. The cover was made by a professional and all but the writer had no idea what he was doing.

     I should write a book then, to show all those scums what real talent is.

     After that, I began playing a game of cards on my own. Wow, now I really do sound like a loner more than the ordinary. I don't care what I seem like right now because the game was fun! No shame in that! Note to self; don't mention this to Eva, ever.

     Right now I was laid on my bed with my 'Principles of Management' book in hands. I felt the need to revise another subject which I got 90% in. This was my lowest average and I couldn't afford to drop below this and I knew it.

     I mean, if I wanted to open my own business I needed to keep my 4.0 average at its peak. But then again, I am the top student at my school. So... if I fail, there must have been something wrong with that examination-

     "Amber why the fuck would you do that to me?!" Eva shouts, bursting through my bedroom's door. My book fell to my face and my heart began racing because I have never experienced so much anger being addressed to me this way.

     Seating up quickly, I stare at Eva confused. Her face was tear stained and her fists were balled but one hand had her phone in it. She was going to explode any moment now and I knew it. "What's the matter Eva?" I question, getting off the bed and walking up to her.

     She shoves me back and I stumble a little bit. "Stay away from me Amber. You're a fucking traitor! Why would you screen shot our texts and post it on twitter?! Huh, there was nothing funny about that Amber!"

     "Eva-"

     "Oh save it. You know, I am proud to be the girl who scratches her ass frequently in public, who had sex on Mr. Hendrix's desk, the girl who I might add who bends over her bedroom window naked as a sign of rebellion. Yes Amber I am proud to have a freaking bald spot in the middle of my fucking head! I am also glad that you posted the picture I sent you of me trying on my friend's strap on as a joke. You know Amber, I never expected you to be such a person...

     Your innocent facade truly fooled me huh. I thought, damn it, I knew with all my heart that you're the best friend that I've ever had! I trusted you with things some persons can't open up to and look at this... see what you did? That's why I have trust issues in the first place Amber! This is why!"

     My mouth hangs open because I really and truly had no idea what she was talking about. I for one spent my day doing what I always did. There was no way that I would betray my best friend like that. And wow, of all things to have been posted on the internet, on my account!

     Oh my goodness, what if family members of mine or Eva’s see’s this. This is bad... really bad. I need to fix this right away.

     "Eva I can explain-"

     "Save it Amber, you're no longer a part of my life. I don't want to be your friend anymore. I'm glad I covered for myself under your post you fucking bitch!"

     With that, she slams the door to my bedroom shut and then makes her way out of the house. I was in absolute shock. My heart was beating furiously at this point in time. Hot tears trailed down my cheeks because Eva was the only friend I had and trusted. How could a screw up like this happen!

     Then it hit me... Jaden did this.

     Wiping my tears away, I was now pissed off. Searching for his phone, I quickly typed in a text. I was enraged!

To: Loner-Nerd-Clown: You little...!

From: Loner-Nerd-Clown: Little what? You can't even think of a proper insult, can you? Wow, I must say... That text I got this afternoon was such a shocker. I read all the others and who knew Eva Simon was such a whore. The golden apple of the school just rotted.

To: Loner-Nerd-Clown: Why would you do such a thing?! Now I don't have my friend at my side anymore! She thinks that I was the one who betrayed her! You're so disgusting!

From: Loner-Nerd-Clown: Hmm, thanks for the compliment. I'm only fulfilling my purpose here, thief. You have a choice, either return my belongings and accept punishment or deal with it.

      I thought about the situation at hand. I knew how scarred those texts could have gotten me and other people. But... to have Jaden Brat punishing me wasn't that much of a pleasant site either. Taking a deep breath and staring at the screen, my fingers twitched as I typed my next response.

To: Loner-Nerd-Girl: If that's your bargain, fuck you.

From: Loner-Nerd-Girl: I know you wanna but... Bad choice girly...

      Why do I always seem to end up in these types of endings? Jaden was surely going to make my life a living hell without even laying a single finger on me. Oh well, if my name is Amber Michelle, I was going to get through this. Then again... that too can be the reason why things don't work out the way I want them to...
