Crazy Wife

We were shriek with laughter as Bob entertained us with rib cracking jokes

"Seriously I get fed up with girls like that" Bob said, still making some of us laugh.I opened my locker and took my biology textbook, we were going to have a morning test tomorrow. I needed something to read.

"Enough of these jokes, we have a test tomorrow" I said to my friends who were standing beside my locker.

"I'm relying on you Violet. I still don't understand Biology" Ella said to me and some of us laughed.

"Crazy girl" I said and dragged her pig tailed hair jokingly.

"Hey!" I heard a deep baritone voice which was annoyingly sweet. I immediately recognized the voice. I turned to him with a disgusting look. Some of my friends were sniggering already. It made me angrier.

"Are you ready?" he asked me.

"What if I text you the area of concentration for you to read tonight?" I turn back to Ella snubbing him.

"Area of confusion you mean? I still don't understand Biology Violet" Ella said

"But you can..." I wanted to talk but Ella cut in again

"See you tomorrow Violet, Lets go guys" and she left along with my other friends who waved a goodbye in unison to me. One could tell they only wanted me to be alone with the person talking to me but the fact was that I didn't want to.

"You're ready?" he asked me again.

Pissed, I yelled "What do you want!". It definitely got a little attention from others.

"I-just.." he stammered trying to keep his cool.

"I know the way!" I shouted at him and barged out of the school hallway. I could feel him following me but a few distance far from me .Few people waved to me but I didn't bother to reply. I felt irritated, the fact that he has to come to my school everyday annoys me. I came to a stop where a convertible car was parked, I was not surprised at the glares I had today too, the car was the talk of the school, it was the latest model and nobody was rich enough to afford it in school, even our lecturers, but everything about that car pisses me off.

I waited beside the car for the person I've been running from all this while. He turned to the other end of the car, and pushed the key in. I opened my side of the door and hopped in with annoyance. In 45 seconds, he drove out of the school premises.

Soft music played as silence dwelt in the car.

"How was school today?" He asked and looked at me.

"Barry I-don't-want-to-talk!" I said spelling out my words.

"I just..." He started talking again and I increased the volume of the song in the car to the highest that I couldn't hear anything he was saying.I looked out the window and sighed. This was just my life.

Barry is my husband and of course I'm his wife. Don't be too surprised, it was not my decision nor was his. It happened because it had to happen.

Matchmaking by our parents.

The most annoying thing is the age difference between Barry and I. He is a successful 27year old accountant and I'm a 17year old student at college

Perfect match right?

*

He drove into the driveway of the duplex we lived in. He got down to open the garage door and I hopped out instantly. I moved to the front door, took my personal key from the bag and opened the door.

Why he had to pick me from school every time still annoys me.

I entered the living room, I threw my shoulder bag on the couch and made my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and took some lemonade and gulped it down my throat. I sat down on the stool nearby and laid my head on the breakfast bar.

This was child abuse. I have never thought I would end up like this, married at this stage...to an uncle? I scratched my chignon hair and I heard the door of the living room close.

Barry was in

"You have a call," Barry shouted from the living room. I stood up and left the kitchen with a frown on my face."Here" he said and gave me his phone.

"Yes mum" I answered the phone after checking the caller ID. Not that I expected someone else to call from his phone.

"How are you doing, Violet?" my mum said.

I am doing bad, mum, everything is driving me crazy!

"I'm awesome" I answered her, shrugging my thoughts off, she wasn't someone I would dare say that to. "Why didn't you call my phone instead?" I asked her. The whole Barry to me conversation really sucked.

"Your phone was switched off" she said and I moved towards where I had thrown my bag the other time, opened it and brought my phone.

"Oh I forgot it was off" I murmured the words.

"Barry told me a lot about how you take good care of him" My mother happily said and I looked at Barry raising my brows at him.

"Really? Did he?" Well he had better!

"Yes and I'm very impressed you're doing well in your marriage. I'll give you a biggy of kudos!"

"Awwn I should blush to that" I said to my mum and smiled. Then my eyes met with Barry and I gave him a deep frown. It was a mood switch for me. Haha.

"Just keep respecting and honouring him" my mum said. Not me mum, not me.

"Sure mum, trust me" I said to her and locked my eyes with Barry, my eyes told him how angry I was.

"Give the phone to Barry" my mum again.

"He's in the kitchen," I lied.

"Kitchen? Aren't you supposed to be there instead" she shouted and I regretted why I lied in the first place.

"Oh come on mum. Couples help each other. That's the fun in marriage don't you get. He's only there to assist me" I lied again and Barry shook his head continuously with a hidden smile about to cross his lips.

"Anyway give him the phone" my mum hesitated

"Sure. Barry! Barry love.." I shouted like I was calling him from a distance. The fool was just right in front of me.

"Coming Violet" he answered playing along. Maybe he was smart enough to catch that ,or he just didn't want my wrath later.

"Mum wants to talk to you" I handed the phone to him keeping my stern face

"Yes mum" he answered the phone. He's just fond of calling my mum his mum. Dude would you stop!

"No she doesn't disturb me in any way" he said again and I pushed my lips to the corner of my mouth to mimic his words silently in an annoying way. "Alright ,okay, bye" He ended the call and took a look at me, then dropped his phone on the center table. I walked away from him and went to sit by the couch. I switched on my phone and brought out my biology textbook.

"Violet!" He called and his voice made me remember how he said "you're ready" in school today with my friends.

Sweet..no..bad

"Can you get us something to eat?" He said and I laughed. I laughed so hysterically that it annoyed every single cell in him. I was used to it already. It was my way of pissing him off. Laughing when he says something serious.

"But I am not hungry," I said, still laughing. Even if I was.

"Okay can you get me something to eat then?" he asked. I closed my book with force and stood up like I wanted to charge at him.

"You sure know the way to the kitchen hun?" I asked with a stern look

"Yes.." he answered.

"Then use it!" I shouted at him. He was silent for some while. Sure! He should be. He had to gulp in what I said and get reminded every time never to ask that again.

"Okay, should I make something for you?" he said, heading towards the kitchen. Gosh I hate when he's so caring. It annoys me.

"You heard me right Barry"

He entered the other kitchen and hit my biology textbook on my head countless times. I'm fed up with this marriage! My phone rang beside me and I picked it up.

Ella!

"Hey what's up?" she shouted from the phone, piercing my ear with her voice.

"Keep your voice low," I said softly.

"Violet are you there? I can't hear you" she shouted again.

"I said keep your voice low!" I said, louder than before.

"Oh am I shouting?" she said and giggled by herself.

"Where are you?" I asked her, the muffling sounds around weren't pleasant.

"On my way home, I just wanted to call you and ask if you were home too"

Another thing I hate about my marriage! Normally I would always walk with my friends home. But now? With a car. I mean a car is cool but with a boring person?

"Of course I'm home" I say silently.

"Okay, is uncle Barry there with you?" she asked. I hate when they call him uncle Barry, they were just being sarcastic.

"Why should he be here with me?" I shouted in my lungs angrily and I heard roars of laughter along with Ella's.

"Who else is with you" I growled at her

"I'm not with anybody. Violet bye" she said still laughing and hung up immediately. I knew she was with my other friends and they were talking about me.. probably making fun of me! That really sucked mum! It sucks!

Everything is just so wack

*

"Christ!" I whispered in pain late at night. My tummy hurts. I have been so stubborn not to eat the food Barry prepared for me and I've been so stupid not to make my own dinner, cause I was stuck up with reading and I have been so senseless to have taken left over pizza as my dinner.

Now it hurts so much.

I put on the lamp stand beside my bed and sighed. Maybe if I take some water it will get better. I wore my slippers and walked to the kitchen holding my grumpy tummy. I switched on the kitchen lights and moved to the fridge, I grabbed some bottled water and gulped a little, then my eyes went to the pot on the kitchen table close by.

I took my eyes off it. I must not be tempted!

My gaze went to the pot again. When Barry was eating earlier, the aroma of the pasta enticed me but I refused to fall for it. He might not even be a good cook. I stood and stared at the pot again. I dropped the water I was drinking on the breakfast bar and looked around.

Is anyone watching?

I took a step,then another and I stopped.

No never, I'll never eat Barry's food

I turned to leave the kitchen and I found myself reverse back to open the pot. Damn I gave in to his pasta temptation.

'Hmmmn' The aroma spread out into my nose and filled the kitchen again. Barry was a good cook, it seemed like it. I suddenly started smiling at the thought of eating this damsel right in front of me.

"Fork fork fork" I murmured to myself looking for the fork

When I saw it, I grabbed it and dug it into the pot, brought out the spaghetti and pushed it into my mouth.

Yummy!

I ate happily, I hadn't expected the food to get my attention and even my comment. I took another and into my mouth it entered without any obstruction ,then another big spoonful into my mouth before I heard..

"Tasty hun?"

"Tasty hun?"

My fork dropped immediately as I turned to look at the masculine creature with a smile on his lips. I wouldn't have felt so embarrassed if the pastai wasn't all over my mouth. It was clear evidence. As I tried to talk I choked and coughed. He handed a bottle of water to me.

"Drink!" he said. I hurriedly collected it and gulped some.

"Thanks" I managed to say

"You should have said you wanted to eat, why do you have to steal?" He said walking to the fridge taking a tuna from it.

"I didn't steal it," I stubbornly said.

"Then what did you do?" He turned to me, fixing his concentration on me.

"I..I..I only took it" I stammered

"Well you could have it all, it's all yours anyway" he said and left the kitchen.

Damn! I was caught. I let my guard off! My gaze goes to the leftover pasta. I smiled.

Lucky me! I had the chance to eat it all now. I carried the pot, sat on the stool and placed it on the bar. I don't have to rush now. It was all mine! It didn't take my hungry ass long to finish it. When I was done. I cleaned myself and left the kitchen.

"No Jennifer" I heard him say when I walk past the sitting room, I waited to eavesdrop

"The client has been troublesome anyway," he said again.

Oh! Business talk.

What was I even thinking anyway?

I moved to my room and shut the door behind me, I laid on the bed looking at my ceiling with a smile on, when I belched , the scent of the pasta came to my nose again.

Ah! Barry was such a great cook

**

The class was silent. Ella was slightly looking at me. She had signalled to me earlier for answers and I had also signalled for her to wait. The biology test was not really difficult. But I knew Ella needed help with it.

"20 minutes more," my teacher shouted.

I squeezed the paper I had written answers on earlier and threw it to her. She caught it immediately and opened it, then I saw her mouth open like she was overwhelmed then she started chuckling. What was so funny about biology questions? I guess she was happy she was going to pass this course.

"Ella stand up" I heard our teacher say.

Fear gripped me ,we were going to be caught!

"Hand it over" the lecturer asked for the paper Ella was squeezing in her palm.

"It's nothing ma" she replied in fear trying to hide it as much as she can. The teacher dragged the paper and opened it.

Shit! She would know we were cheating. How careless was Ella. I'm definitely going to kill her if I fail my favorite course.

"I had sex with Barry last night?" The teacher read out from the paper.

Wha...??

My heart skipped.

That name sounds familiar.

All the students turned to look at me.

Obviously. I have no idea how it spread but everyone knew my husband's name was Barry. They gazed at me with overwhelming, confused ,shocked, stares. Some were laughing, some just staring ,some taking the opportunity to copy from others.

"Couldn't you wait for the class to be over before you could tell your friend about your husband?" my teacher turned to me.

I was thoroughly embarrassed.

That wasn't what I wrote!

I looked at my desk to see that what I wrote was still on the table. But how come that was passed. I wanted to, but I couldn't defend myself. I'll just land into more trouble.

My seat partner gave me a devilish smile.

I now understand

He changed the paper I sent to Ella.

"Submit everyone" the teacher announced after seeing the class rowdy. He hurriedly collected all our scripts and left.

"How was it?" Almost all my classmates chorused and rushed to ask me.

"Get out" I yelled in annoyance, my voice shaky.

Some laughed at me.

"Leave the girl alone she doesn't want to tell us her experience with her husband..you also go get married" one of my mates said shooing them away.

Was that supposed to make me feel better?

Every single word angered me!

"So you mean she's not a virgin again" a girl gasped and there were many murmurs.

I just sat there, surprised, shocked

This is how I might continue living my life!

**

When Barry came to pick me up at school. He saw I was sad. I could see through the expression on his face. He had a slight frown when he saw my sad face, but he didn't dare to ask me what was wrong at school, I would end up embarrassing him. Why should he mend in my affairs? I was usually this way all the time though. But I heard sore eyes from tears so it was noticeable.

"Mind telling me what's wrong?" He asked in the car and I gave no reply as usual. "You look really sad today," He said again.

Have I ever been happy?

It has always been a bad experience for the past few months I got married to him.

No peace of mind, always picking up a fight, I even got lean.

If this is how all marriage was then I better quit!

Barry stopped the car

"Two soda drinks please" he ordered from a kiosk nearby and they sold it to him.

"Care for? "he asked me, pointing to a drink. Why did he order two, if he had doubts I wouldn't take it from him?

"Could we talk when we get home" I said rejecting the drink

"This would be the nicest thing you've said to me since we got married" he said and gave a smirk.

I ignored how that was cute and gave him a straight face.

"Sure we'll talk..we would definitely talk" he replied, happier than I've ever seen him.

"Thanks," I replied.

"There is no problem Violet..you can talk to me whe...."

I increased the volume of the song in the car. I had said we should talk at home, not now, he shouldn't take advantage of opportunities. I really need to think.

He shut up as I increased the volume and we had a silent drive

**

We got home and I got down as usual, no letting him enter the garage to park his car. I opened the door and moved to the sitting room. Today has been the worst day of my life! Everyone one thinks Barry and I had had sex. I needed to call all this off. To prove to them he hadn't even touched me! The door opened and he came in.

"So.." he started

"I want to talk to you so take a seat" I cut in, ordering him.

He gave me a glare before taking his seat

"Eerhm..we both know..that we are not happy about this marriage..and you have just been stupid enough not to voice out to our parents.." I paused as he gave me a semi deadly glare that made me want to rephrase my words.

"I mean we have been stupid enough not to voice out to our parents" I said emphasizing the we. "So if we insist on not telling them then we should get a divorce then" I said to him.

"A divorce?" He asked

I nodded.

"Well that's a good one" he said again

Yippee!

My worms jumped.

"Oh thank you" I said so happily with a wild smile. Not like I had a better say in the house, but it was obvious Barry didn't like this marriage also. It was totally normal for him to agree to this.

"But if we take a divorce, how will our parents not know about it?" He asked

I hit my palm on my forehead and laughed "Psst.. Fool, we won't let them know" I said, still laughing.

I stopped when he didn't laugh. Oh I had called him a fool.

Gosh that was one thing I hated in a marriage like this, I couldn't insult him at free will. We are definitely getting a divorce!

"Okay then..a divorce!" He said and I jumped up. There was a different joy filling my heart, it was all going to be over soon.

"Thank you Barry thank you" I said and he also smiled.

"Well since we would be divorcing then try to play nice!" he said. I scowl at him. "Come on..it's not that I like you, we do not like each other, .r do you like me?"he smirks.

"Hell no!" I retorted

"Well then. Play nice!" he chuckles.

"Owkay Barry.." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag and head upstairs.

"I'll make you lunch!"he shouted behind me.

"I'll try not to reject it!" I shouted back and I heard him chuckle. This is the longest conversation we both have had during this marriage.

At least today wasn't a bad day after all

**

I yawn and groan slightly as the light through my window peered directly into my eye.

I changed direction and rolled over the bed as I buried my face in the pillow. I didn't want to wake up yet. But I had to. The thought of getting a divorce as fast as possible has been on my mind throughout the night. We needed to discuss the fastest method. I had to prove to my classmates I was still a virgin.

"Ow!' 'My hand hit the plates on the bed as I stretched. I sat up to see the leftover grains from the food Barry prepared for me yesternight.

I had eaten his food?

Well it was..

It was so great and seeing the plates now makes me savor my thoughts again.

I stood up and stretched one more time as I looked at the mirror in front of me checking out my simple small breasts with my two nips pointing at the mirror.

I really need to take a picture of this. To tell the world my nipple still stands and it's untouched. To show them I have not been touched by any man. At least It should be evidence..I think?

I look down at my pubic part. It was well shaved and only a little hair could be seen. I turn around to look at my hips and butts and I smile when I see a good feminine sight.

I had always slept naked from when I was born. I don't know why my mum brought me up with that but I wouldn't feel comfortable if I wore clothes.

I sleep naked and of course wake naked. Seeing my good figure in the mirror, I smile again. Violet was growing up. This 17 year old girl in front of the mirror was already becoming a young adult.

I clear all my thoughts as I grab my long bathroom robe and put it on, slipping my hands through and tying the ropes at the front. I picked up the plates and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

Hmmmn. Barry was in. He was cooking again! Oh my, what is that in the pot?

I move to the zinc as I swallow my saliva and I drop the plates.

"At least say good morning..we are still having a divorce!" He said and I shrugged.

"Good morning," I greeted. He turns back to look at me and shakes his head "Our parents sent for us" he said and the plate in my hand almost fell

"What? You told them about the divorce. I should never have trusted you to keep it a secret!" I yelled

"Hey Violet chill okay? I didn't tell them anything about the divorce..this is just a coincidence..I got a call this morning that we should come over to your house.."

"Really..."

"Yes..look trust me..I could never tell them about the divorce okay? Because I want the same..so cool those nerves and let us hear what they have to say" he said and I sigh.

"Okay" I said, trying to calm my nerves.

"Get ready, breakfast will be ready soon!" He said and I moved away from the kitchen.

My parents, calling? This better be good!

**

A warm hug embraced me that I almost choke to death

"So happy to see you too ma'am" I said to the woman who happened to be my mother in law and she ushered us in. Trying to picture when last I came inside my humble home. That was two months ago. Geez I miss home, it feels so nice and different, so different again.

It was a long walk to the dinning and I could see from afar as the whole family sat at the dinning like we are holding a banquet. I turn to look at Barry and sigh. This better be good. I have been reassuring myself since we left home.

"Welcome darlings" My mother welcomed us with an exaggerated smile and we took a seat beside each other. Little Millie giggled as I touched her hair and bent to give her a kiss. I missed my sister.

"Cheers" my father said and raised his glass and we all made a toast. My mum served everyone food but I couldn't take my eyes off that roasted chicken. I knew that was my mum's doing and I missed that part of her. We all started eating after a short prayer from Barry's dad.

"You look beautiful," my mum said to me.

No mum, I don't! I've been lean from thinking too much!

"Thanks mum" I replied with a smile you wouldn't know was fake.

"All thanks to him right?" She said to me again with a wink. I replied to her with the former smile.

"We called for you two" My father in law said and I sat up. I was so eager to know why this meeting was happening.

Start already!

One could tell with the expression on my face that I was anxious and nervous to hear what he wanted to say.

"We have planned to give you guys a surprise!" My father said,

I hate surprises from both parents.

"A surprise?" Barry asked and they all nodded at once.

"Then spill it out already dad!" I said so eager

"Here it is.." my dad said, bringing out a small paper and handing it to Barry. I turned to Barry as he opened it and kept staring. I raised my brows at him. He didn't look too happy.

"Come on..show it to your wife" his mum said and he handed it over to me.

"A honeymoon ticket?" I screamed as I read from the paper.

Third Grade Crush

"An honeymoon ticket?" I read and asked with shocked screaming. They all smiled in reply. I turned to face Barry and he managed a smile too with the rest.

"But dad..I can't take this "I said to my dad handling the tickets back.

"Why violet?" he asked and everyone gave a concerned look.

Why? Because I don't like this marriage and I've been pretending to you guys so you wouldn't kill me.

Why? Because I am not in love with my husband.

Why? Because we are getting a divorce soon? What should I even say?

"Bee..ca..use.....my school. I mean I can't leave school to go for a honeymoon. It will affect my studies "I finally voiced out the most meaningful thoughts in my head.

"Well, for as long I have raised you..during these periods you should be having your tests and a two weeks holiday is coming right after it, am I correct?"

Holy shit

"Oh.." I trailed and managed a smile "I thought I still had class" I said. They all smiled.

"So you are leaving on a Wednesday. Today is Saturday you have time to pack up the things you'll need" my mum said.

"And don't forget the lingeries" Barry mum winked at me and they all laughed.

Thanks mum! For this stupid arranged marriage that will boost your business and wealth. Thanks for selling me out mum. What motherly love. Thanks Dad for watching her do this to me.

"Barry!" I heard my father's voice. Barry looked up at him. "She's a jewel..keep her safe!" he said. Oh well, am I?

"Well I've been doing that!" he said with a simple smile.

"So mum, dad, thanks for this banquet..but we gotta go" I said standing up. As much as I wanted to eat those delicious foods, they all ruined my mood.

"Hun..not so soon?"

"I'm sorry too mum but we got to attend a friend's wedding!" I said carrying my bag and giving Millie a kiss

"Aw. That's not nice. We thought you would really spend some time with us" Barry's mum said.

I smile

"We thought too.. Sweetheart!" I turn to face Barry. He looked up at me and I signalled to him. "Can we go now? "I asked.

"Sure. Sure. Mum,dad. Thanks for all this!" He said and put his arms around my neck. "We will get going now!" He said and they all waved a bye .

"Look how cute they are" I could hear my mum say as we walked out of the house.

***

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I threw myself on the couch in the sitting room "I didn't ask for a honeymoon ticket"

"I didn't either" Barry said sitting on a one seater chair.

"We should cancel this..we should look for ways!" I cried out!

"I tried thinking about it..but it's not working!"

"How about you make excuses about your job" I suggested.

"I work under dad's company..nothing will change" he said. I screamed out my lungs.This isn't happening. Please this isn't happening!. It was enough torment living with him in the same house. A honeymoon will have us in the same room. I can't let that happen! What would people say? They would probably believe all the rumors.

"Hello!" Barry picks up his phone that just rang. "Seriously Jennifer." He laughed and I turned to look at him with disgust. Is this the right time for all this? That same Jenifer.

Maybe his girlfriend or something. All I know is that they call each other a lot and he laughs a lot too with her.

I pick my bag and go upstairs to my room. I might have the most awful weekend with this whole fucking honeymoon idea.

**

"I'm happy as hell!" I said to Ella as we walked towards the school cafeteria. Today was my last day at school after our break, we were all here to get our final results and I was so happy to share the good news to Ella.

"I'm happy for you too..geez you would have gone through hell if you went for that honeymoon"

"I thought my plan wasn't going to work at first..but it did!" I squealed and she laughed.

"So you pretended to be sick!For real!" Ella shouted like she underestimated my acting skills

"Yeah Barry and I are good at acting" I said and chuckled myself

"That must be a great relief for Barry as well"

"Yeah.. he was so happy when Dad canceled it"

"Weird couple!" Ella rolled her eyes.

"Not a couple..we are getting a divorce" I smiled widely at her. She gasped covering her mouth

"Oh my God..does mum know.." If Ella was this shocked, I wonder how mum would react.

"Hell no!it's what Barry and I are planning" I replied to her and she stared at me with her mouth gaped.

"Now I just believe you and uncle Barry don't like each other" she returned the smile.

"Call him Barry please" I frown as we entered the cafeteria

"No Uncle Barry is fine"

"No it's not"

"It is"

"It's not"

"It is"

"Not"

"Barry"

"Uncle Barry"

"Barry"

"Owk. Ok. You win. Barry '' She finally concurred. They all just make me feel like I'm older than 17 whenever they address Barry that way.

"Blake" I stopped walking immediately and I sighted 'him'. My heart skipped a hundred times per second and my leg froze.

"Bla..wait..is that his other name?" Ella turned to me.

"No..I mean..look... Blake!" I stared at the masculine creature sitting with his friends at the cafeteria and I swallowed hard. I don't see him often but when I do. Gosh!

"Urgh. Get a life Violet.."

"Get a life?" I turned to her "Come on..I've been crushing on him since like third grade!" I said making a quotation with my fingers emphasizing on third grade.

"You are still not over him yet?"

"Not when he looks extremely handsome now"

"Stop crushing on someone else..you are Marr.."

"Hold it there..i am not married with my free will..and come on Blake is my life..His name is like everywhere in my diary you know that yourself..you stole it once to read"

"Yes I know you are in love with this Blake but damn, he had never talked to you since high school and it isn't going to happen at college"

"He talked to me at high school. I borrowed him my pencil once" I fussed.

"Hey Violet" she smacked me in the face to see if I could come back to my senses and I chuckled and looked back at where Blake was sitting. I wish I could just get a chance to talk to him once. Alone. He was always with either of his friends if I tried to talk to him. So I never got the chance. The connection he had with his friends, I wanna have that too.

I saw one of his friends spin a beer bottle and it landed at Blake.

"Awwn. I wish I could join them for truth or dare. I could get to kiss Blake"

"Are we going to just stand here and stare at them or can we get something to eat? Ella shouted at me.

"Come on..stop shouting" I whispered in her ears and we turned to look at Blake and his friends once again. Luckily they were also staring at us. Wait, what?

"Am I dreaming? Is Blake actually staring at me? Actually admiring me!" I almost screamed but Ella covered my mouth with her hands.

"You wish!" Ella said and dragged me away as we moved to the counter and I didn't stop staring at Blake. He was also staring back. Was he crushing on me?

As we carried our food. I looked for a seat where I could see the view of Blake well. Last day of school and all I do is stare at him. It gladdens my heart so much to end this semester this way.

"Will you stop staring at the person at my back and go on with your food!" Ella bangs the table. She hated that I was looking behind her and not looking at her.

"It's the last day of school. Let me just do this today" I said and ate one of my fries.

"If you are so..in love with Blake..then try talking to him into becoming friends with you..instead of admiring him from afar".

"He's always with his friends! He is never alone...wait..oh my..he's coming to us..he's coming here..how do I look...he's coming here Ella!" I shrieked.

Ella turn back to see Blake really coming. She gaped which made me more nervous to see him. He was really coming. I flipped my hair to my shoulder and pretended to be a normal girl who wasn't crushing on him. I hope that worked. Oh my...

"Hi!" I heard a cool sweet voice and I was forced to look up.

I opened my mouth wide as I saw him smile at me. My crush was standing right in front of me and saying hi. I had wanted to make the first move. Oh my, Open heavens.

"Hiiii" Ella and I waved dumbly back at him.

"Can I sit?" He asked.

What the heck!

"Sure sure sure...you can..just sit" I stood up and brought out a chair for him. I was obviously behaving stupid but I didn't care. He sat down and I also sat down too as he kept smiling at both of us.

"Well..I'm.."

"Blake Douglas" Ella and I chorused and it was his time to gape. He let out a small laugh.

Yes you're popular Blake and I love you.

"Well I guess you girls already know me" he chuckled.

"Of course..how would we not know the hot handsome sexy sweet Blake Douglas" I said putting my hands together near my cheek and staring at him as sexy as I would. Maybe I was overdoing it.

"I don't know him!" Ella blurted and we both turned to her.

"Hun?" I asked her, raising my brows, what was she doing now?

"I only got to know him because his name is all over your diary as the guy you have been crushing on since third grade!" She blurted but gave me a wink later.

Was she trying to help?? No, no. This wasn't working. I gasp letting her know the guy she was talking about was here. Blake too seems a little surprised but instead he gave me a smirk.

"Seriously since third grade?" he asked me and I scratch my hair

"Thanks for embarrassing me Ella!" I threw one of my fries at her

"It's not embarrassing..I mean..I am honored to be a beautiful lady crush" he said and winked at me. My worms jumped. And my stomach grumbled for joy. There was a party there.

"I'm Vio..."

"Violet Anderson!" He said and Ella and I gasped.

"You..you..know me.." I stuttered.

"Yeah..I mean since you got married..you are the talk of the school!" He said.

I frown at his words. "Well that's a nice popularity award" Why the hell would I be known for that? And hearing it from my crush??

He chuckled.

"But seriously, can't anyone understand that this is just an arranged marriage..nothing but compromise.. no love..nothing else and it will soon be over!" I shouted that only our table could hear.

"Really?..you are not happily married to Barry?" he asked.

"Yes Blake..and Barry knows himself..look..I've got nothing to hide..we had never had anything before. I control the house.." I said the last sentence with utter ego.

"So you mean..your heart is still open for cute guys like us" he said in a more serious and babyish tone.

"Yes..yes..yes..I am free to do anything..don't say because I am married..you shouldn't talk to me...I am free as hell.." There was much freedom in saying that.

"Wow..well I didn't know that..but I'm glad your heart can still occupy some feelings for young guys like us"

I blushed "Stop being sweet"

"So.." He put his hands in mine on the table. My heart skipped. I stared at it intoxicated by his touch, he actually did that?

"Next semester then" he said and I looked up at him.

"Hun?"

"Today is the last day of school..so we see next semester then!" he said

"Not really!" I said immediately. Why the hell will he postpone US till next semester. I might run mad before then. What if he loses interest in me before then.

"Not really?" he asked

"Yeah. I'm having a party at my house tomorrow night. It's an all night party"

"Really" Ella and Blake chorused. Oh I'm sorry Ella.

"Yeah..you know..we can get to talk..get drunk.. play...kiss?" I asked. He nodded with a smile that melted me.

"I'll be at your party!" he said.

"Aw. Thanks..and bring people too..as much as you can '' This would be the perfect opportunity to make known to people that I don't have a friendly relationship with Barry. Not in my next life too.

"No problem," he replied.

"Yeah." I responded as we both stared right into each other's eyes. He gave another cute smile before leaving our table.

"Christ..that was awesome" I said and lay my head on the table, shivering on both legs, goosebumps filling me.

"At least you didn't notice I was here..good for me" Ella said.

"I'm sorry"

"So what party are you talking about..you didn't tell me anything" Ella confronted me at my sudden decision to have a party.

"That's because..I just made it up now"

"Wait..you want Blake to come over to your house like that"

"No..I mean I'll be throwing a real party. I'll start the arrangements"

"So everyone is invited"

"Yeah"

"And uncle Barry?"

"He's out for business.. coming on Wednesday"

"Oh..that's why"

"There is nothing he would do if he was around"

"Hmmn..who's the boss?"

"Mee.." I shouted and she shook her head as we chuckled. My crush since third grade is gonna be coming to my house. Gonna talk to me. This is so insane. I could get a kiss from him.

Gosh..Blake!
