a story of a gurl (part 2)

“he did what?!” Stella came to her hysterics hearing Carissa’s story the next day
“you know Ced, when it comes to Carissa he instantly freaks out.” Crystal commented,
Leading their way to their next class, Carissa shook her head following Crystal into their classroom.

After class, the three where ready to leave school
“I’m going to meet Cedric by the entrance” Carissa announced “why?” Stella asked
“We’re going to study for our Science quiz”, the other two exchanged doubtful looks then nodded in agreement
“Cedric!” Carissa shouted as they hit the entrance
“oh. Hey girls!” he greeted back, waving his hand
“we’ll go ahead.” Crystal and Stella said in unison, and waved each other goodbye
“take care you two.” Carissa reminded
“we will. bye” said Crystal, Cedric and Carissa watch the other two get into their cars before they went to the library.
“force is any influence that can cause a body to be accelerated. Energy is the ability to do work” Carissa recited, just as well as always would be the comments people will certainly give her.
“just as well as always” there, Cedric told her, She gave her a nice smile
“bet you’ll ace this one AGAIN” he added with an eager deliberation on the last word
“bet you’ll do the same if you focus on reading and not on glancing at the clock every minute” she teased
“nah, I’ll be fine to pass on an average grade.”
Carissa shook her head in annoyance and bent her head back down
What you’re thinking right now is true, Cedric had already fallen for his best friend but his just not the type of guy to ruin a good friendship. He stares at her most of the time their alone like this, plainly watching her cautiously and hasn’t withdrawn from that hobby since first year.
Finally, the bell rang, Cedric’s eyes flared up the wall clock he had been studying for the time being then got to his feet
“c’mon” he told Carissa in a rush tone
“okay. Okay”
They took their way to the swimming pools for an after school practice. Making her way to the girls shower room, Carissa spotted a person who just came out of it, slowly sliding the door after getting his pail and mop, she cut in “hold it.” She said sliding herself in and then shut the door. Claude got confused, he stared at the door for a moment then snapped out of it. He went back to his mopping thing in front of the shower room. Carissa got out on her swimsuit.
“whoa! Hold your horses.” Claude snapped, she gave him a smirk put her gears and went to the pool. Launching herself immediately, swimming her way back and forth
“hey! It’s after hours!” Claude informed
“don’t worry.” Cedric told him appearing from nowhere he thought “we’re being watched” he pointed over the glass window at their coach’s office
“oh.sorry” he muse
“like you haven’t done this before?!”
“hm. Still in student help huh?” Cedric said glancing at the cleaning material on Claude’s hands “still on your ‘happy-go-lucky” mood?”
“hm. Like you haven’t done that before” he scoffed, they stared at each other with raging eyes
“good time Carissa” the coach announced stepping out of his office, Carissa got off the water sweeping water from her face.
“but not great” she told the coach
The boys came back to reality as they heard them, “Cedric you’re up.” Coach ordered
Then he went on Carissa’s side of the pool and launched himself in.

“so. What’s up with you and Claude?” Carissa asked, looking at the menu just handed to her by the diner waitress, Cedric focused on his menu pretending not to hear Carissa’s question.
“there seem to be some tension revolving around you two” she continued
“I’ll have a large fries, regular burger and a large coke” he told the waitress
“ugh!” Carissa mouthed “I’ll have the same” she said handing the menu back to the waitress “c’mon is it that bad?”
“well no” he finally gave in, Carissa gave him a frantic look “well.. it’s just… stupid”
Carissa raised an eyebrow, Cedric sighed “if it’s stupid why don’t you just get over it?!” she exclaimed “I don’t know” he moaned, she raised her eyebrow again looking judgmental. “what?!” Cedric denied
“that is pretty stupid----thanks” she told the waitress with a sweet smile, Cedric smirked
“come on Ced! You just said it’s not that bad” she insisted
‘yeah. I just said it’s not that bad so, why insist on it?!”
Carissa groaned while shoving a piece of French fries on her mouth, frowning.
“okay, okay!” Cedric bellowed, giving in once again.
“there’s this girl back when we were in 5th grade, Catherine.” he started
Carissa listened intently while gently stuffing food over her mouth
“you know how the story’ll go.” Carissa clanged her face sideways making with questioning eyes. Cedric groaned, irritated by his best friend’s sadistic persuasion.
“I liked her, he likes her, turns out she likes him too. I lost my life. My best friend and the girl I almost loved.” He breathed.
“wow. ---wait you two were best friends?”
“yeah. Apparently we don’t know each other yet, back in those days”
Carissa chuckled “you are pretty stupid.”
“excuse me?!” he said, dazed upon Carissa’s comment
“come on you know better than letting a girl ruin a nice--- was it a nice friendship?”
“well yeah it was.—but hey! I was a kid---”
“then get over it”
