I'm Back

Chp 26: Confessions

"Terrance? You like him. The Nomicon told me that if I like anybody then I'd have to go for it."

"What he meant was ask them out. Not hypnotize them." I say.

I burn the ropes off of Randy but he doesn't get burned.

"We're over. I thought I loved you. But I don't." I say before teleporting away.

I walk into my house and am greeted by Terrance.

"Richelle we need to talk." He says.

"Bout what?" I ask.

"Why are you acting so weird? Your dating Randy? Your ignoring all of your friends! What's gotten into you?" Terrance yells.

"It was Randy. He used the art of love and it made me fall in love with him." I say.

"That shoob! Why would he do that?" Ter asks.

"I have no idea." I say.

"You know what Richelle? I think I like you. Like, as more than a friend." He grabs my hand.

"What? I umm..."

"Seeing you with Randy made me jealous. It made me realize I really liked you."

"Umm..."

"Richelle. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks.

Oh my god.

What do I say?

Should I say yes?

What if I say no?

"Y-yes." I say the start crying. Then I hug him.

Why was I crying?

Oh right because of what's happened in the past week.

So much drama.

But then it hit me. This is the first time I've cried.

I kiss him and he kisses me back.

"Keep it PG!" Riichi yells.

We stop kissing and laugh.

"Maybe you were right Ter. Terrelle is real." I giggle.

"Haha yeah." He says.

"What do you think Theresa's gonna say when I get to school."

"Blame it on jealousy." Terrance asks.

"Good idea." I say.

Before school the next day I wall up to Theresa in the halls who is talking to Debbie.

They all glare at me like I'm a freak.

"Theresa can we talk?" I ask.

"About what? You stole Randy from me and destroyed our friendship. There's nothing else to say Richelle."

"I'm sorry Theresa. I was just jealous of what you and Randy had. I thought if I had him I'd be happy. Boy was I wrong. I'm hoping you can forgive me I really want to be your friend again." I look down.

"Debbie I'm sorry for ignoring you guys. I was jealous. I hope we can be friends as well?" I ask.

"Of course we can." Debbie says.

"One a BFF always a BFF." Theresa says.

"Okay this calls for a group hug." I say then we all hug.
