EPISODE EIGHT: BETWEEN US

I enter the car and we both laughed our ass out. I tried to calm down but when I am looking at her I can't help myself but to laughed. They say that it is very common to friends. Laughing in simple things or just by looking at each other, you will laugh to get what they want to convey. I guess that was what's happening between me and Heather right now.

"I knew that you were faking it! I know you well Heather," I said and laughed. Heather looked at me and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I am sick," I uttered with a teasing voice ad tried to mimic how she said it earlier. Heather hit me on my shoulder and rolled her eyes.

"Stop it" She uttered and laughed.

"What? That's how you did it right?" I asked and laughed.

"At least I did something. Instead of you, sitting back and following what they want. You know that you are really awkward earlier. I know that you are trying to impress mom adn dad. Well, just to let you know that it is networking. It will not work unless they saw you won or at least an object as proof that you won," Heather uttered and smiled at me. I looked at her and smirked. I am trying to build myself but she will tell me that it was not working at all. What a great discouragement.

"Thank you! For discouraging me!" I uttered sarcastically. Heather looked at me and raised her eyebrow.

"At least I am honest. I am not discouraging you. I am just telling the truth. I don't want you to waste some time and effort. Take that as a piece of friendly advice." Heather replied and rolled her eyes at me. I laughed and just keep on nodding at everything she was telling me.

"Okay, thank you then," I answered adn chuckled. Heather smiled at me and take a deep breath.

"So where are we going?" Heather asked. I looked at her and pointed at the way where the pharmacy was. Heather starts driving and we both sang the songs played on the radio. Heather pulled over and I start to buy the medicines my mom needed.

"Where are we going right now?" Heather asked. I look at her ad we both smile. Heather drive at the beach ad we both lay down on the sand while watching the stars and the moon. The pace was so quiet. There was no one in here besides us. The moon, the sand, and the sea. It was so peaceful and I couldn't ask for more. I was with the girl I love... even though she treats me like I was just a friend. I was still happy about it. At least I was here, lying beside her and having her company. I will not ask for more.

"Probably home? I need to go home. My mom just asked me to buy her medicine and your mom and dad are still at my house. I know that your dad will use his investigative skill to find where  am and what took me so long." I replied. Heather keeps on nodding. She started the engine and play some music. It was a rock-type one, like how she always wants to listen to when we are hanging out. I always told her that it was too loud but she keeps insisting that it can lift our mood. 

"Are you ready to go home? Well, make sure to wear your seatbelt! I know that this will feel like flying!" Heather uttered and winked at me.

*creaking*

"What was that?" I asked and looked at Heather. I gulped and bit my lower lip. Heather looked at me confusingly and slowly unlock her door. We both look at each other and slowly step out of the car.

"Tell me I am not seeing any of this," Heather uttered and bit her lower lips. The car has a scratch. We bumped into a pile of shopping carts and this is not good. I know that the car Heather have was a new one and it was bought earlier.

"My dad will kill me!" She frowns and keeps on slapping herself. I look closer at the scratch and it was not big as it could be. I guess Heather will be punished again because of this.

"Calm down! It was not big, okay? You can tell them that you just bought some medicine for yourself and then the cart rolled and bumped to the car," I suggested. Heather rolled her eyes on me and open the door at the passenger seat. She get my scooter and looked at me like she will kill me very soon.

"I feel like you have bad luck, peabrain. Just go home and take the medicine to your mom. I will take care of this, I know that I can make a good solution for this," Heather replied and smirked at me. Does she really have the audacity to tell it to me? I am the one who suggested a good idea I am not the one who's driving.

"Really? I am not the one driving. Wow, thank you," I answered and grabbed my scooter. Heather chuckled and patted me on my shoulder.

"I'm just kidding. I will just take care of this. Go home now," Heather uttered adn get back to his car. I watch her leave and I start driving home too. As soon as I get back home, I saw Heather pulling over and her parents saw her come out of the car. They immediately approach them and I gulped. I didn't know what will happen. I am afraid that they will scream at her or hurt her. I was traumatized by what I heard and what I saw. I am not Heather but I am the one who is afraid of them. I was traumatized by them.

"What happened?" Dad asked. I looked at him and just shook my head. I look closer, adn I saw Heather telling her Dad about the scratch. Her dad looked at it but he was not mad. He hugged Heather and they all get inside. Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I thought that they will make her regret that she drive the car. Well if that was the case then we are all good. I can finally breathe.

Days passed and I am now starting to get back my life. Heather's family allow me to talk to Heather again. they allow me and Heather to hang out but only in the living room. Her mom and dad are pretty protective but that was enough. At least I am able to hang out with her.

"Okay, so that will be between us," Heather uttered and grabbed some popcorn. We are now sitting in the arcade area, Heather and I are sweating, we played a lot of video games and some DDR. 

"Yes, it will. Did you know that the guy behind us kept on looking at you when we play some DDR? I was looking at him and thinking if I knew him. I guess he knows you because he keeps on flexing you to his friends," I uttered and Heather rolled her eyes on me and chuckled. 

"I didn't hear anything. Well just let them look at me, maybe they are amazed by my dance move and how do I look perfect even though I was sweating," Heather uttered adn laughed. Yes, she was right. She was perfect with every single thing she was doing. She look perfect even though she said she was tired and sweating. She was still the same. She was stunning and that will always catch someone's eyes. She was always the trendsetter. She was always the center of attention and that was different from what I am.  am just Arthur. I am the nobody here yet I was close to the most popular girl in town. Everyone loves her and everyone notices her while I am just here.. Sitting and breathing like a silent mouse. No one notices me... no one util I meet Heather. She was the first person who notices me and that was the day when everything change.

"You're ugly," I teased and Heather rolled her eyes at me.

"Whatever, pea brain. You are stinky," She teased back. I look at her ad we both laugh hard as we can.

"Waiter!" Heather stated. I look at Heather and she smiled at me. She was with her messy hair and sweat was dripping down to her chin yet she still looks perfect. She was like the main character in a Hollywood movie. She was like God's favorite angel. She was too good adn too perfect to be mine.

"So, what do you want? It's my treat," Heather asked. I look at Heather and sighed.

"I will treat you, you beat me at DDR. I didn't know that you still have time to play something like that. You are real.y sobbing at your books. I almost look at you like a face stuck in a book." I teased. Heather ake face at me and rolled her eyes.

"Funny, funny. funny." She said and rolled her eyes. the waiter came and we are too busy laughing at each other's foolishness.

"Excuse me?" The waitress uttered and cleared her throat.

"We are really sorry, we are getting two milkshakes a pizza. Give us your best seller pizza," I uttered and the waitress smiled at me. I smiled back at her and Heather cleared her throat.

"I am starting to feel starving, I hope to get my food as soon as you reach the kitchen. Thank you," She uttered. Heather glared at me and smirked.

"What? What did I do wrong?" I asked. Heather make face on me again and rolled her eyes.

"You know what? I barely trust boys and it seems like I can't fully trust you either," Heather uttered and rolled her eyes.

"What did I do wrong? I just smiled back at her," I protested. The waitress came with our food but I didn't look at her. I am just looking at Heather and her annoyed face.

"Did you know that douchebag always smiles back like that with someone who is obviously flirting with her? This day was between you and me, I am your best friend and I am a girl. You shouldn't do that," Heather uttered and sipped her milkshake. I laughed and she rolled her eyes on me again.

"Here, pinky promise. I will not do that again to make you feel secure and your best friend is not a douchebag," I uttered and Heather smiled at me chuckled.

"Pinky promise," She uttered and smiled at me. I smiled back at Heather and sighed. I love this. Everything about this day and how our friendship was going. Everything here in the arcade house was between us. Just me and Heather.

"Hey, Heather." I looked at the guy behind Heather, it was the guy that keep on looking at her when we are playing DDR. I can't believe that he will bug us in the middle of snack time. Heather looked at me adn looked at her back. The guy waved at him like she know Heather for his whole life ut Heather looked at me like she did;t know the guy.

"Can I talk to you?" The guy asked. Heather smiled at her ad sighed. She gave me help me look and smiled uncomfortably to me.

"Dude, you can talk to her here," I uttered and smiled at him. The guy looked really pissed at what I said and it seem like he was not going on the campus. I bet he was one of the rich guys from the other university. Those schools for bratts.

"And who are you to tell me that?" The guy blurted out and crumpled her hand. He was ready to punch me in the face. I know that he will. He was really pissed n what I said? Really?

"He was my boyfriend actually. If you have a problem with that then don't talk to me," Heather uttered adn rolled her eyes. She looked at me and grabbed her bag.

"Let's go, babe. I feel like I lose my appetite." Heather uttered adn grabbed my hand.
