A Lie in Fall

Chapter Twenty

Jessica: No! You just can't take it! It hurts to see Karly and Drake laughing together. That's why you're avoiding her.

Enzo: I can tell right away when you're holding back.

Jessica: Just like you stayed by my side, I want to stay by yours. I can read you like a book, Enzo. You like Karly, Enzo.

Enzo: Yeah.

Jessica: What a moron! Karly likes Drake, you know! She always did, remember? As if she'd ever give you a second look!

Enzo: I know.

Jessica: When it comes to girls, if you're up against Drake, you don't have a snowball's chance in hell!

Enzo: I know.

Jessica: Liar. You said you'd stay by my side. You don't know the first thing about me you liar. You've never once thought of me as a girl. What a moron... Karly likes Drake. And you... ...have no choice but to love me! *kicks Enzo's leg* Moron! Moron! How's that for taking the plunge? Screw you! *runs away crying while its raining* I took the first step! I made him see me as a girl! I went through a lot of suffering. So you can suffer, too! Suffer, suffer, suffer, and think about me constantly! It finally started but what's gonna happen now? My heart's about to burst. The rain in fall feels so good. It tastes like lemonade. The time I exist in... ...just started flowing...

*The next day at school Enzo heading to class when he sees Jessica*

Enzo: M-Morning.

*Jessica ignores Enzo and walks away*

Enzo: Uh...

Kashiwagi: Hey, Jessica! *runs after her*

*At the baseball field Kashiwagi pitch the ball to Jessica and hits a home run*

Kashiwagi: I'm exhausted let's go home. Don't you have a cold?

Jessica: I just got caught in the rain, don't worry about me just pitch.

Kashiwagi: You're gonna chase them down, okay?

Jessica: Sure thing.

Kashiwagi: Did something happen between you and Woods?

*Jessica's eyes widens and accidentally let go of the bat and it almost hit Kashiwagi*

Kashiwagi: You trying to kill me?! Jessica you idiot!

Jessica: It's your fault for saying something freaky like that!

Kashiwagi: Humph! It's so obvious. You were so aiming for the music room... Did you two fight again?

Jessica: Nope. I just gave Enzo a good kick.

Kashiwagi: Come to think of it, he was limping.

Jessica: Imbecile! Smartass! Four Eyes! Suffer some more for all I care! No way am I ever gonna show up to root for you again! Live a lonely life!

Kashiwagi: Don't yell at me.

Jessica: Think about me more, dummy Enzo! Reach him... Reach him... My shot.

*Enzo in the music room playing the guitar when he remembered what Jessica said*

Jessica: And you... have no choice but to...

Enzo: What was that all about, I wonder? She was just messing around, right? But for Jessica to make that kind of joke... Enigmas... girls are such enigmas...

*After school at Sandra's house she sees Enzo thinking and pops up behind him as he screams*

Sandra: Hey, you! Are you into this or not? You don't have much time before the finals in February!
