TEENS HEARTS
Teens Hearts – Episode 32
Chris POV
Alex and I talked quite awhile before lunch bell rang and J came over and they went away.
Seemed like they planned on going out to the cafeteria.
Cos Alex just smiled and followed him without any complain.
[Smiles]
Cute friends.
Alex, told me everything.
She said Steph’s been upset with her and ignoring her calls and all that..
I know it’s cos of Jeremy, cos they are now friends.
Maybe I should go talk to her.
[Chuckles]
Talk to Steph?
[I sighed.]
I know she’s never gonna listen to me but I gotta do it anyway.
I walked to her class.
She sat, on her seat, reading a book.
My heart..
I walked to hear.
She looked up and frowned when she saw me.
“Steph.” I called calmly.
“What’s it?” She snapped.
“Can.. can we talk please?” I asked.
“I don’t wanna talk any shit with you. I don’t wanna be your girlfriend, don’t you get it?”
I inhaled.
“It’s about Alex.” I said.
Steph’s POV
Alex?
Ugh! Everyone talks about her now.
“So?” I asked.
“Can we go talk somewhere cool?” He said.
I chuckled.
“Say whatever you wanna say here or you get out of my front.” I said.
He stayed silent for what seemed like forever.
“Steph, Alex really care about you guys friendship. She’s really sad that you’re avoiding her and I know it’s all cos of J or rather cos she’s friends with us.” He said.
Who cares?
I rolled my eyes.
“You gotta stop seeing I and Jeremy as bad guys you know. Yeah, we were but can’t you see some changes in me, and in J too?” He ranted.
Who cares?
“I don’t give a damn what you guys are.” I said.
He came closer to me.
“You know, I really love you Steph. I wish you could see the weight of my sincere love for you. But you don’t want me Steph. You think im so bad. Im trying to get this feeling that I got for you out of my head, out of my heart. I wanna get you out of my thoughts, but the more I try is the more I think about you and find myself loving you more and more.” He said.
“I’ll be happy if you stop feeling such way for me cos I’ll never ever give you a chance. Get that!” I barked.
He stared at me.
“Steph, Please, you can hate me. Yeah. You can hate J, but you can’t hate your friend Alex, as well just cos she’s friends with us. It’s unbelievable.” He said.
“She’s my friend and it’s our issue, Don’t pop your head into our matter. Get that!” I snapped.
“Steph, you reallt need to change the way you see us.” He said camly.
I ignored him and wen on, with what I waa reading before he stupidly came in.
“Steph.” He called.
I ignored him.
“Steph please do that. I beg you okay? Get back with Alex.” He said.
I rolled my eyes.
“Im wishing you coukd just understand the way Alex do.” He said.
I got furious.
“People are fucking staring! Just turn to the door before I get si annoyed.” I said.
He stared for a while, then turned and walked away
Ughhh! So annoying.

Alexandra’s POV
“You didn’t answer my question Andra.” Jeremy said as we ate in the cafeteria.
I haven’t seen Steph here, nor Eve.
“What question?” I asked.
“What do you think of me?” He asked.
“I’ve answered that.” I said.
“No. you didn’t.” He said.
“I did.. Ugh!” I said.
“And what did you tell me.” He asked.
“I can’t remember.” I said, even though I did.
“C’mon, Just say it. Anuthing.” He said.
“Fine I said, That I don’t know what you really are. You are so arrogant but you’re also nice.” I said.
He smiled.
“Yeah, I know you said it. Just wanted to hear them again.” He said, winked and smiled.
Ugh! Crazy guy.
Why am I friend to this crazy stupid gut huh?
Hahaha.
“Andra..” He called.
The way he calls me that tho. I can’t deny that it sound really sweet.
I stared at him.
“I wanna tell you something.” He said.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“That you’re cute.”He asked and smiled.
Did I blush?.
Did I actually blush?
He said this again…
I just stared at him. I don’t wanna smile so he doesn’t see im happy about what he just said and im flattered.
Soon, the lunch over bell rang and everyone in the cafeteria began to leave.
I stood up so we can go back to the class, but he pulled me down to the chair.
“What?” I asked.
He smiled.
“Promise me something.” He said.
“What?”
“That we gonna be friends for a long time.” He said.
Huh
“Huh?”
“Yeah, just promise that.” He said.
“I don’t like promising.” I said.
“If you don’ promise that, then we ain’t leaving here.” He said.
I rolled my eyes.
“Fine. I promise.” I said. We got maths and I don’t wanna miss it.
He smiled.
Alexandra’s POV
When school got over, I got up to go grab my bag.
I decided on going to see Steph.. To just talk to her.
I miss her so much.
I walked to my locker and grabbed my bag.
I decided on taking Jeremy’s pullover home.
I dropped it inside my bag.
“Alex.” I heard Eve’s voice.
I turned and smiled at her.
We’ve not talked today.
“Hi Eve.” I said.
“You’re going?” She asked.
“Um.. yeah.” I said.
“You’re good with Steph now?” She asked.
I shook my head, “No.”
“I talked to her tho but she said nothing.” Eve said coldly.
I sighed.
“It’s fine. I wanna go to talk to her.” I said.
“She’s gone already.” She said.
I inhaled.
“You’re taking cab?” She asked.
I thought for a while.
“Yeah.” I said.
“What about Jeremy?” She asked.
“He’s just my friend.” I said.
“He can drive you home.” She said.
“I don’t know.” I said.
“He’s your friend and you said he’s nice to you now. So if you let him know. Im sure he’ll drive you home.” She said.
“Let’s go.” I said.
We turned and walked down the hallway.
………………………
………………
“My mom’s in the hospital.” She said as we walked through the hallway.
“She’s ill?” I asked.
“My elder sister pushed her off the wheelchair yesterday.” She said with tears in her eyes.
“Oh my God! why would she do that?” I asked, feeling really bad.
“My sister drinks.” She said.
“Oh my!” I felt really sad.
I stopped and pulled her into a hug.
“I love my mom so much. I don’t want anything to happen to her.” She said, weeping already.
I blinked as tears fell off mine.
She makes me remember my mom.
When she slumped down on the kitchen, when she was rushed to the hospital and when the doctor confirmed she has a breast cancer, and mom died after few weeks that she fought so much to live.
I shut my eyes.
“Im sorry Eve. Nothing’s gonna happen to your mom. Believe that, do you?” I said as tears fell down my eyes.
She sniffled.
“Yeah, I do.” She said.
I opened my eyes and saw Jeremy.
He stood a bit a far. With his hands in his pockets, looking at us.
I withdrew our hug and Eve was in tears.
“Don’t cry Eve. Nothing’s gonna happen to your mom.” I said.
She nodded.
“But you’re in tears too.” She said.
I smiled and glanced at Jeremy.
He still stood, staring right at us.
I looked at Eve, “Your mom reminds me of my mom.” I said.
She raised eyebrows, “Really?”
“Yeah” I said.
“What about your mom?” She asked.
I smiled as a tear dropped.
“She’s gone.” I said.
She gasped, then pulled me into a hug.
“Im so sorry.” He said.
“It’s fine.” I said.
She withdrew the hug.
“I thought you actually have your mom around.” She said.
“I did until she left me.” I said with a sad smile.
She blinked a tear from her eyes.
“Im sorry about that Alex.” She said.
I smiled, “It’s okay.” I said.
Jeremy began coming..
“Let’s go.” She said.
“Jeremy’s coming.” I said.
She turned and saw him.
She turned back to me.
“I guess I should go. Let him know about it. Im sure he’s gonna drive you home.” She said.
I nodded.
“Bye Eve.” I said.
“Bye.” She said and walked away.
“Andra.” He said when he got to me.
“You’re going home?” He asked.
“Yeah?” I said.
“Arsh! No, let’s spend some time at the school garden.” He said.
“Huh?” I looked at him.
“Yeah. It’s so early to go home.” He said and took my hand.
“No. it’s not.” I said.
“Whatever. Just come with me ok?” He said, grabbed my hand and pulled me along.
“Fine. I’ll go. Stop dragging me.” I said.
He looked at me and smiled.
“Good girl. Sweet friend.” He said and winked.
Punk!
But he still held me.
“Leave my hand.” I said.
“Nop. Let’s just walk this way.” He said.
I rolled my eyes and smiled.
Jerk!

Jeremy’s POV
We got to the garden and sat down, I still held her hand.
Her hand felt so soft and slender.
“Your hand is so soft. Making me wanna keep holding them.” I said and smiled.
I know she’s gonna react. And she did.
She tried to pull her hand away but I held it more tight.
“Ouch!” She half yelled.
I smiled.
“Tell me,” I said.
“Tell you what?” She asked.
“Why were you guys hugging?” He asked.
“She said her mom fell off the wheelchair and it reminded me of my mom.” She said.
I turned and stared at her.
She was staring at the flowers.
“Your mom is really beautiful.” I said.
“Yeah. She was.” She said.
“Can you tell me what happened?” I asked.
She inhaled.
“That day, Aunty Lili to visit us. We were happy. both my mom, Lili and I went to prepare a happy dish in the kitchen. Everyone was happy, really happy, when my mom suddenly yelled out and slumped to the ground. I couldn’t believe it. My dad came and we drove her to the hospital…”
She paused as a tear fell off her eyes.
I felt a shiver.
To see her tears.
It rolled down her cheek.
She blinked her eyes and another one fell.
I just stared.
I tried to say something but I don’t actually know what to say.
“…The doctor. He said she had breast cancer and… and it’s been quite long. Mom knew. She knew but she never told anyone about it.. She didn’t tell my dad. She didn’t even tell Lili, her twin sister. She just kept it hidden from her family…”
She was crying now.
I inhaled as I felt tears in my eyes.
“…She underwent different therapy and operations. And got transferred to another hospital in UK. She couldn’t survive it tho. She died.” She said as tears rolled down her eyes.
I looked away as I felt so sad.
Tears gathered in my eyes.
I looked at her.
She was looking at me now.
“Your.. your eyes are red Jeremy.” She said.
I left her hand and pulled her into a hug.
“Im just… Im just sad cos of all you just said.” I said, huugging her tighter.
“Im sorry Andra. Im sorry that your mom had to die after everything.” I said.
She stayed silent, crying silently.
I shut my eyes.
I wanna do this.
I wanna stop her tears.
I don’t understand the way I feel for Andra.
We had fights.. We yelled at each other.
I hurt her. I got on her nerves, and then we became friends.
Now,I wish to make her happy…
Make her smile and make her forget her bad moments and sad memories.
I dont wanna get on her nerves anymore.
I don’t wanna yell at her or hurt her just to make myself happy.
I wanna be here for her. I wanna cherish our friendship and let her understand im not really arrogant and proud as she thinks that I am.
I wanna make her like me, because I… I think im loving her.
“Jeremy..” She whispered.
“Huh?” I said, as I opened my eyes.
I’ve been lost in my thoughts of her that I don’t know how long I’ve been hugging her.
Argh! I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
“Im fine now. Im not crying anymore.” She said.
“Uh.. Okay.” I said and pulled away and stared at her eyes.
“Th.. thanks.” She said and smiled awkwardly.
No matter how she smiles, they are cute.
I smiled and kissed her forehead.
Then I saw someone staring at us from far.
Molly.
Our eyes met and she stared a little more and left.
I looked at Andra.
“Let’s go.” I said, took her hand and we left.

“Damn it!” I yelled..
