Chapter 14

That night I go to sleep, eagerly imagining tomorrow coming, the boys don't wake me up in the morning but I hear knocking on my door many times, I turn to look and Mattew is not in his bed.

Damn who is it so early it's 8:00 am I'm in shorts and no shirt when I open the door it's Chloe .

" But what are you doing here," I say with my eyes still sleepy.

" I came so we could have breakfast together," exclaims Chloe happily.

" How many times do I have to tell you, we are not a couple, I don't want to have breakfast with you," I answer irritated and lie down again.

She leaves annoyed when she open my door for leave Melek is standing in front of her.

" And what are you doing here," says Chloe.

I get so scared that I jump up but my foot gets tangled in the sheets and I end up falling on the edge of the bed.

Letting out a groan of pain , damn what is the chubby doing here nor was she supposed to be in Boston .

" Melek, what are you doing here," I reply, getting up from my fall.

" Mattew, he gave this to me to give to you, well, I'm sorry," she says in a serious tone.

She hands me a carnival ticket, before she leaves I take her by the hand, Chloe is standing at the doorway watching us.

" They are tickets, you don't see them," says Melek uncomfortably.

" I know, but what for," I asked.

"Well your friends made plans with Izy's boyfriend who is a friend of mine and she invited us to the amusement park, Mattew is too kind to buy you a ticket and it's getting late so I came to give it to you but you are busy so I'm leaving.

She gives a smile that's phonier than Judas and leaves in annoyance.

I don't know how, but in less than 10 minutes I was already bathed and changed.

I wore blue jeans and a white V"neck shirt and my black jacket, I only applied cologne and wore my hair wet.

I see my silly friends, at the entrance of the university how can they think of leaving without me, the administration guy takes us in a minibus belonging to his father, Chloe follows me and also joins the crazy day the guys have planned.

When I enter the bus Melek and Mattew are sitting together, it's a fucking joke, the fat girl sees me resentful and I don't know why, more when she sees Chloe sitting next to me.

We arrive at the amusement park, the line is a little long, I am behind the fat girl.

" shhh shhh shhh, Chubby, you're angry," I whisper softly.

She turns and sees me with a murderous look.

" Traitor, liar, you didn't say she wasn't your girlfriend," says Melek uncomfortably.

"It's not, it's not my fault she can't forget me," I answer.

" Ha, how pretentious you are, I don't know what you look like," exclaims Melek.

"You sound jealous.

" Not at all, both deserve each othere" twisting her eyes in annoyance.

" Come on, come on, don't be upset, I'll buy you anything you want today.

" Everything, whatever I want," smiling.

"Yes, just don't take advantage.

I don't know why I told her that, she has me buying at all the food stalls, even for her friends she will leave me broke.

The boys are having fun on the roller coaster and the Vikings, Melek stops me at a small target shooting stand.

"Get me that stuffed animal," exclaims the fat girl.

It is a white piggy stuffed animal with pink cheeks.

" All right, but I won't buy any more food, you'll bankrupt me," I replied in annoyance.

"Yes, yes, I hope you're on target," says Chubby.

The truth is that my aim is very bad, the good thing is that on the third attempt I managed to get the stuffed animal.

" You know, it would be nice to come with my boyfriend in this kind of places it would be romantic .".

" I don't count, I'm a boy too," I reply with a laugh.

" You fool, you know what I mean.

We all got together for lunch, it was great after that the friends kidnapped the fat girl and I didn't get another moment alone with her.

We got back to the university it's about 2pm, the fat lady went back to her room with Caroline and the guys too although Mattew offered to take Chloe home and I'm alone here on the bleachers, brooding like a fool .

I taking a nap, I wake up because my phone doesn't stop ringing, it's the chubby , I almost forgot, the cinema, but when I see the time it's still five o'clock.

I call her, she answers on the first ring.

" Where are you, we need to talk," she exclaims in desperation.

" What's up, I'm in the bleachers of the soccer field," I answer.

She hung up and a few minutes later she was in front of me, nervous.

" What's going on Melek?

" Your brother is what's going on, he's dating someone, look I took a picture of him," says the fat girl worriedly showing me her cell phone.

" Who is this girl, I don't know her.

" That's right, no one knows she's a stranger and by the way they looked very close as if they were a couple, I'm sure he kissed her.

She has a frown on her face, I can tell she's worried, I'm jealous that you're jealous of my brother and his mystery girl.

" You have to control your emotions, fatty," I reply, annoyed.

" Shut up, I feel stressed.

" But we're going to the movies," I ask.

" We'd better go for a few beers to relax," exclaims Melek.

We go to a bar and restaurant that is close to the university, the fat girl is wearing lycra sports clothes and a loose white t"shirt with tennis shoes and no longer wears her glasses, she has a ponytail in her hair and no makeup but she still looks beautiful.

We're drinking beer, but she's not measuring herself, she's drinking too fast.

" You shouldn't drink so much, you'll get drunk.

After several glasses, the chubby' voice becomes heavier.

" You must be kidding, I drink and drink and I don't get drunk," she says incredulously.

" You look pretty drunk to me," I exclaimed, smiling.

" You're wrong, I'm fine... ahhhhh I don't know why the guy I like doesn't like me and those who don't like me don't even like me.

"What a tough life dilemma," I say, smiling.

Seeing her drunk is funny, her face is red and her eyes are half"open and her voice is so heavy I can barely understand what she is saying.

" That cunning cat kissed him, do something," says Melek as he pulls me by the neck.

Her face and mine are only a few centimeters apart, she is so aggressive and tender when she is drunk.

" I haven't even been kissed and that stranger stole it from me, it's not fair, I saw it first," says the annoyed fat girl.

"Come on, get up, it's better if we leave because you are very drunk.

I pay the bill, she can barely stand up, I help her up and we get into a cab, I need her to sober up a bit, it's about one in the morning.

I take her to her room, Caroline is there and notices how drunk she is.

" God, why did you give her so much to drink, why didn't you stop her," says Caroline angrily.

I lay her on the bed and she curls up as she whispers my name.

" She's stubborn, you know her.

"Do you have a relationship with Melek? asks Caroline.

" We're just friends," I reply uncomfortably.

" But do you like it?

"No!" I quickly answer

" You're not interested in her, really," Caroline says, narrowing her eyes and giving me a suspicious look.

" You're wrong, I'm just friends," I say nervously.

I don't know how you can tell, so much it shows on my face, shit I should be more careful.

" Thanks for bringing it, Max.

" I'd better go, it's already early morning," I  exclaimed.

I go back to my room, Matthew is not there, I can't get to sleep so I get up early and go for a run that morning I meet my brother on the way, he sees me from his car rolling down the window.

"Are you going to work now," I asked.

" Yes, but I'm going to have breakfast first, we can go together.

"No, leave it, it's not necessary.

I walk away rejecting his offer but I remember Melek, and the mysterious girlfriend my brother has, it would be a good time to ask him about it so I go back and get in his car.

"On second thought, yes, I am hungry.

We headed to a French restaurant, his favorite, now I simply had to find an accessible way.
