Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2002 20:23:55 +0000 From: Joao Silva peixoto Subject: Pumpkin 6 Hi there. Fist thank you to all the people that have e-mailed me, you have no idea how much that means to me. If you to tell me something do it, by e-mailing me to historias46@hotmail.com . Well this chapter is a little shorter than the others, but I'll try doing the others longer, I promise. There are people that have asked me where this story takes place, well my original idea was to make this school different for every person. I mean my idea was making whoever was reading imagine a school. Of course that some parts are based on my own school:. Well enjoy your reading, don't forget to mail me: Pumpkin 6 "It was amazing..." Sara said for the 100th time You already told me that" I said eating my morning's croissant "I know, but it was so...so...so..."Sara said sighing" I think that I'm in love..." I almost died there for what she said" What????" "You heard me..."She said smiling "he is sooooooo perfect..." "But you're already in love?" I said recovering from that revelation "I think that I am..." she said "Where are you going?" "I'm going to the corner!" I said "I hate that place!" Sara said with a serious face"What are you going to do there?" "Talk to Pete" I said smiling She rolled her eyes" I'll be at the bar..."she said walking away" And it seems that I'm not the only one in love..." she shouted I just smiled. The corner was a place in the soccer field where people that smoked gathered to smoke a little bit, away from the teacher and all. Pete went there to smoke a little bit, I hated cigarettes and all that they brought, but Pete was addicted to that dam thing, but I didn't had lost my hope of making him quit... "Hey Mike" I heard Gill shout at me" Wait for me!" "Hey, where are you going?" I asked him "To the corner" he said smiling" I need to see Mike!" Mike also smoked and he was really addicted to that shit" Me too, so how did the English test...?" "Don't even talk about it, I don't want to remember that stupid test" Gill said interrupting me "Ok, so how are things with Mike?" I asked smiling and in a whisper "Pretty good..." he smiled back" How are things with Mr. Perfect?" "Well we are good" I said Gill looked at me strangely" Your eyes start shining when you talk about him" ... I didn't like the corner one bit, when me and Gill got there, only Pete, Mike, Anne, and more 3 people were there, Pete was almost finishing his cigarette, so I walked towards him "Do you have anything planed for this weekend?" I asked him casually He smoked a little bit and blew the smoke in the air, I looked towards Gill just to don't see Pete smoking, I hated seeing him like that" I don't have anything planned..." "Great, so you can come to my house and spend the weekend there" I said looking at his eyes" My parents are going on some stupid trip and my brother has to go to a friend's house, leaving the house all to myself..." Pete smiled" Sure" he then started talking in a lower tone" You don't like to see me smoking do you?" "I hate seeing you smoking" I said sighing" But I'm not going to make you quit just because I don't like it..." He smiled and threw the cigarette away" Thanks, now lets go to the bar, I hate this place" "Ok, let me just warn Gill" I said I walked towards Gill, and when I looked at his face, I saw that he was suffering, and all because of Anne, Mike was sitting with Anne on his lap, and talking to Gill at the same time" Gill, me and Pete are going to the bar..." "Ok, I'll go with you two, it seems that here I can't do anything..." he said looking at Mike angrily "What's your problem?" Anne asked "No one, I just don't feel good here, near all this smoke..." Gill said "No one made you come here..." Anne said throwing her hair behind her back "Well, I though that I had some one her to talk to, but it seems that he already left" Gill said looking straight at Mike "Comme on Gill, I'll pay you anything at the bar..."I said grabbing him Gill just looked at me and said "I want to be alone for a while!" "Sure, you can be alone with me at the bar; I promise that no one will bother you..." I said He just nodded and started walking away, I looked at Mike who had a pained look on his face, I ignored him and walked with Pete and Gill. ... The bar was so much better than the corner, no one smoked here... Gill was next to me deep in thought, Pete was in front of me eating a huge cake, Sara was on the table next to us talking to Jack, Susy was talking to David about the English test, and Kat was with her boyfriend "talking" in a quiet corner, I couldn't stoop looking at Pete, I was trying really hard not to look at him "What, do I have something on my face?" Pete asked me "No" I said blushing and looking down "Hey look at those two" Pete said pointing at Sara and Jack that were kissing like there wasn't no tomorrow"I wish I could do that more times..." "Don't worry, I bet that you'll do it plenty of times during the weekend..." I said with a smirk "How can you be totally sure?" he asked grinning "I have my sources..." I said smiling Pete then grabbed his chair and sated next to me, he "accidentally" putted his hand behind my chair and started talking really low" What happened with Gill?" "Mike was in the corner with Anne on his lap..."I said sighing "Oh..."Pete said letting one of his fingers fall to my back "So, how did the English test went?" I was trying really hard not to think on that finger" Pretty good..." "Well, I guess I have number 2 wrong, but that's ok, I'll still have a B" Pete said Pete was trying really hard not to start his flirting here, and I was preying for something to make me stand up "Mike, I need to talk to you..." Brian said behind me I jumped from the chair, grabbed Brian and led him to a quiet place; I looked at Pete to see him with a hurt look "Mike, do you remember the party?" Brian asked "Yeahp, you danced with Lara..."I said casually "Well, when you and Pete went outside...well...me and...hum...Lara...well...we...kind of...hum...started...dating" he said really nervous "What, I didn't hear the last word..."I said "Me and Lara started dating!" he said louder "So?" "Well, now she wants to start something more serious..." he said "And you don't want to?" I asked confused "Well...I...don't know...I'm the worst boyfriend in the world..."He said desperately "No you aren't, you just need to think about what you want, if you want to take things to a higher level then try; if you don't want to tell her that, I'm sure she'll understand..:" I said "I don't like her enough to start something serious...but I'm not sure how much I like her..:" he said sitting up "Look, you'll find the answers you're looking for..."I said reassuringly" Look, why don't you ask her for some time and think about it during the weekend, today it's Thursday, the weekend is close..." He looked at me "Thanks" he said getting up "I'll go talk to her now" I smiled and said good luck, I walked towards the table. The bar was empty by this time only me and my friends were her, Pete was sated with his back to me "Hey" I said putting my hand on his shoulder He shrugged it off and turned away from me" What did I do?" "You ran away from me" he said pouting I sated next to him "You know dam right why I left you..." I said smiling "Ok, I'm a lazy actor..:" he said smiling, he then did kissed me really quick "Are you crazy?" I asked looking around "Only for you" He said smiling" Comme on no one is here... it was only a quick kiss" When I was about to reply, Mike appeared at the entrance, Gill looked at him and rolled his eyes, when Mike saw him he walked towards Gill "Gill I'm sorry" he said Gill looked at him, stud up and walked away from the bar. Mike looked down and sated on the empty chair "You know you screwed up this time, don't you?" I asked to Mike" Being there right in front of Gill with a girl on your lap..." "If it only that..."Mike said with his face on his hands "You mean you did more than that..?" I asked surprised He nodded" Anne appeared right after Gill arrive, and the first thing that she did was kiss me and I had to return it, and Gill was right there..." I was shocked" You mean that even after starting dating Gill you still continued with Anne?" "Mike calm down" I heard Pete say behind me "Calm down, calm down..."I said getting up" You know that apologies won't do nothing you have to show him that you're really sorry, and I hope that you make him fell better, because Gill is suffering way more than what he is showing..." "I know, but I just had to do it, everyone would suspect if I didn't kissed Anne..." Mike said desperately "Just tell me that you'll leave Anne and restart with Gill" I said angrily "I promise" he said getting up" and I'll do it now..." Mike stud up and walked away for the bar, I sated down trying to calm down" Mike everything will be all right, don't start getting angry..." Pete said putting an arm around me I just said ok, Gill was my best friend and he was suffering... ... So, here I was, waiting for the dam bell to ring, it was Friday, the day when me and Pete would start our weekend together, but it seemed that the stupid bell didn't want to ring "Psst" I heard Sara say" Calm down, this class will end..." I smiled" I'm not the only one anxious" I said with a smirk" It seems that you and Jack will also have a very special weekend..." She blushed" Mike, please be quiet" I heard my philosophy teacher say When I was about to apologize, the bell rang, I grabbed my things and walked towards Pete" So, are you ready?" "I just have to go to my room upstairs and get my things, could you wait for me at the school's entrance?" Pete said grabbing his stuff "Sure" I said smiling" I waited a whole week, I can wait a few more minutes..." "So, you're going to have a good weekend?" Susy asked behind me "I hope so!" I said smiling" Are you going home this weekend?" Susy and Kat were "interns" in this school; meaning that both of them slept here and that they could only go home on weekends and vacations, Pete was also an intern "Yes, I can't wait to see my family, I miss them..." she said sadly "Don't worry I bet that they also miss you and that this weekend will be a blast for you..."I said with my arm around her shoulders She smiled and we walked together to the main entrance of the school" Well I hope that you have a great weekend" I said hugging Susy "You too, have fun with Mr. Perfect" She said in my hear I smiled and she walked away, I sated in one small chair, and waited. While I was waiting I started observing what was around me, everyone that was an intern was full of bags, probably full of clothes, all of them couldn't wait to arrive home, the rest of the people that were here were like me, they had a house nearby and the weekend didn't meant so much to us. The weekend was like vacations to all of us, especially to the interns, they got tired of the school pretty quick and the weekends were 2 days where they could rest and be with their families. "Hey, thinking about what?" I heard Kat ask behind me "About you..." I said turning around "That's my job" Kat's boyfriend said "Mike this is Kevin, Kevin this is one of my best friends Mike" Sara said introducing us "Nice to meet you" I said shaking his hand "Were you really thinking about me?" Sara asked "Actually I was thinking about the weekend, what it meant to all of the interns..:" I said smiling "Well this weekend is very special, but we have to go Mike" Pete said appearing from nowhere "Well Kat, enjoy your weekend" I said hugging her" Kevin it was a pleasure!" He nodded, this was going to be a great weekend... TBC... Sorry for the chapter being so long, the next one will be longer, I promise, e-mail me to historias46@hotmail.com
