Chapter 3: Doubts
An: I think I might stop writing this story, I mean I really enjoy writing it but people don't review so I don't have a clue if they like it not. ::Sighs:: but who cares! ::smiles:: Well enjoy!
"I can't believe she loves me!" Arnold said to himself as he drove to Sammie's, the local diner where most of the high schooler's hung out at.
He exited the car, and walked across the parking lot to the diner. He touched his lips softly, the kiss still lingered. Was it really the heat of the moment? He thought, as he entered. Maybe I do love her…or maybe I do, I think, but there's Lila, we're finally going out after all these years.
(But do you love her?) A voice asked,
Of course! She's perfect! She's beautiful, smart, popular, witty, funny, everything!
(But maybe she's too perfect, maybe she's not what you are looking for, maybe you need someone who isn't perfect, who isn't everything Lila is, maybe you need someone who is REAL.)
But Lila is real!
(Yeah, real fake)
"Can I take your order sug'?" a middle-aged waitress asked leaning on one hand on the table.
Arnold looked up, "yeah, can I have a burger and soda please?" he asked and smiled.
"Sure thing honey," she said smiling and returned to the counter.
Arnold rested his head on his hand turned to the window, drumming his fingers to an unknown beat. Something then caught his eyes; Lila was walking towards the diner clinging onto Gerald's arm.
Of all the nerve, Arnold thought getting up from the booth.
"Hello Lila, Gerald," he said forcing a smile.
Both of them stopped dead in their tracks, "ARNOLD!" Lila shrieked, and dropped Gerald's arm she then began to laugh nervously. Gerald's eyes looked like they were going to fall out of his head; he quickly pretended to look around. He didn't want to see the hurt in his friend's eyes.
"So have fun 'bathing suit shopping?'" Arnold asked leaning against the booth.
"I-it was fun," Lila said, she looked like she was on the verge of tears, like you're the one who should be crying. Arnold thought rolling his eyes.
"Look man-, "Gerald started.
"Don't look man me, I know what I saw and there's no excuse that can make me change my mind." Arnold said with rage.
"Oh don't act like you're innocent," Lila spat.
"What do you mean?" Arnold asked confused.
"I know you've had your eye on Helga for awhile," Lila said glaring.
"So what if I have? I didn't run off cheating like you did! I cared about how you would feel but obviously you don't feel the same." Arnold whispered and brushed past them.
"Arnold!" Gerald called.
Arnold whirled around glaring, "I don't want to see you, hear you, speak to you, or be in the same room as you, and if you know what's good for you, you would stay very, VERY far away from me." Arnold warned and left his girlfriend, his best, friend, and somewhere deep in the city the girl who stole his heart.
AN: Yes I know it's short but I promise the next chapter is longer! R&R (that's if you care...)
