Long awaited part 3

But first, previously in part 1 and 2

Part 1

In every high school, there's a clique. Usually. You know those groups of completely different people? Well, i'm not in any of them because i don't want to be named "the villain" like in one of those old high school stories.

I am a teenager with a lot of morals. So i'm pretty much liked by everyone. Like everyone's best friend. I'm supposed to be the perfect friend too. Someone who's willing to be with that person through everything.

However, it has finally come to that time when i start to feel like a hypocrite. I always say to my best pal, Ashley that i will always love her, but now, when i think about it, a feeling of guilt seems to swim right inside me. The reason why is probably because i didn't mean what i said.

Judge me if you will but personally, I don't give a crap. There's another problem. I know my life sounds screwed up but bear me if you will. I have another best friend, Catherine whose character is the total opposite of Ashley's. Oh yeah! There's another thing, they can't stand each others guts! That's why i'm caught in the middle.

I picked Catherine's side over Ashley's but Ashley doesn't know that. Catherine also doesn't know that i still talk to Ashley.

So...you see my problem, don't you? Well, i hope you do because i really need help! In this case, i feel like the villain and i abhore it. I just wish things could go back to how it was back then. CAT would live again! Not CAT as in cat but as in Catherine, Ashley and Tanya.

Yes! Tanya is my name. I'm supposed to love it and all but my dad named me after one of his ex-lovers who was his first. That is so weird, right? If you say "That's so cool!" , then you seriously need a complete overhaul on your brain =.=

Part 2

Okay, first of all..my sanity is still intact.
Miraculously...

So, it was quite an eventful day today. Quite? Wait! Who am i kidding!? It was more like a trip to hell! No, scratch that again. I'm already living in it! It's called COLLEGE!

Clayton College is a prestigious school for well-deserving, well-behaved and high-achieving students. God! That sentence just wants to make me hurl. In fact, my stomach is churning already! I mean seriously, prestigious!? well-behaved!? high-achieving!? I mean, Anne Kelly ( a juniour ) has slept with god-knows-how-many seniours and *cough* freshman. I could tell you more bout the others in the school but why shouldn't i give you the benefit of the doubt?

I went to my usual seat in the cafeteria with my friends ( hello, hi friends ) . I didn't dare to sit with Catherine or Ashley in fear of an outbreak of another battle between the Huns and China like in Mulan.

After lunch, I tried to get out of the cafeteria like a silhoutte, hoping A and C wouldn't notice; although for some eerie reason, i could feel the presence of their eyes looking through my soul. Creepy.

I managed to make it to class on time tho i was caught running in the halls. Luckily A is in another class. I sat next to J, Joshua. I had no choice. Teachers seat you up with your lab partners. He's this decent looking guy who has some issues that noone understands. I don't really bother.

After class, i tried to rush out again. J was ( surprisingly )at the door already..with a sickeningly sweet grin. I tried passing him but he blocked the entrance. He whispered asking me to meet him out back after school in a secluded spot. More like a request actually.

Questions ran through my mind like crazy. I even felt the urge to kill my thoughts. After school, i finally saw him, alone, under a tree, prefectly shaded by the shadows of the leaves in every angle.

Wondering whether i should walk forward or go back, i stood there, like an idiot.

Finally Part 3

*Gulp*

I tried forcing myself to walk but i couldn't move from his breathtakingly built body. I knew he could sense how much effect he had on me. It was obvious on his cheeky grin. It felt like hours yet it was just seconds. Finally, i was able to move on whatever will power i had in me. The wind blew, making my long auburn hair wander across my face. I then met his piercing gaze.

" Why did you call me out here for? " I asked, trying not to sound so shaken up.

" I would like to offer my services as I believe you have a problem, " he said calmly.

" Ho..howww...how did you know? " I stuttered.

" It is quite obvious really. You have two people you used to hang out with all the time. Now, you are always trying to avoid sitting with them. Let alone make eye contact when they are both around, " he replied.

" But how can you help me and why do you even want to? " I asked boldly.

" Well...let's just say you seem very interesting, " He said while brushing his fringe away which allowed me to have a clear view of his whole face.

He told me that i would be seeing more of him. With that, he left. Allowing me to ponder on our conversation. Questions yet again taking over my mind. What was the real reason why he wanted to help me? He never seemed to hang out with anyone. So why would he suddenly want to help me?

" Tanya! " a voice from behind me shouted.

I turned around only to find Blake with cheeks flushed. He must have just finished track team training.

" What is it Blake? " i asked with a rather puzzled expression.

" It's your about your dad. He was involved in an accident. Apparently he was hang gliding. There was a strong gust of wind which blew him way off course and he landed in the sea. A rescue team is off right now in search of him, " he said hardly stopping for air to breathe.

I stood there staring blankly, unsure of what to do or what to think. It was just too hard to swallow. There is a possibility that he is missing, injured or in the worst case i can think of, dead.

Blake shook me several times. I finally managed to blink.

" Come on! The principal allowed you to leave school early to wait at Salt Lake Beach. I've got free period so i'll take you there,"

I followed him as best as i could, trying not to stumble on my own two feet. We got in his hummer. His was driving extremely fast. Although, not fast enough to worry me about having a car accident. When we arrived, i saw police cars, an ambulance ready and a crowd of people. Wonder how they found out. Radio?

Seriously tho, this is the weirdest and most confusing day ever. First Joshua and now this? God! What did i do! I was greeted by several familiar faces and even some strangers. They were all telling me how sorry they were. I don't understand. It is not confirmed that he is dead so why?

All i can do now is wait. Wait for my dad's return to me. So i can see his smile again. The smile he passed down to me.

So there i was, waiting...
