Creative Writing: The Shadows of the Past

“Jacqui will stay overnight at my place. My mum looks very happy to meet her,” still lying in my bed, talking to Miss Rina, I tried to put aside the muddle Caroline has placed on my head. Her phone, I finally set on silent mode, to avoid disruption. She must be in panic now, searching for the missing gadget. Through my look over, the phone has only four numbers saved on it. Her number, which she gave me in the taxi, my number, one number indicated as house phone and the other one named mama’s handy. By the looks of it, she uses the phone to ruse me only.
“How is Jacqui, and what was actually amiss?”
“She is OK, right now… I guess, but yea… something has occurred, not really good to her.”
“Is it serious, hon? Is there anything I can help?”
“Quite serious…” and so I started to relate everything to Rina, in detail. The fight might arise again, who knows?

This is how much I care about Jacqui, the first dyke I have ever been friend with, who let my eyes open to see the other side of my solitary world.
“In that case, you too, please take good care, honey. I’m worried about you and about Jacqui too. She shouldn’t get involved with people like that…” she paused, as if she’s taking a few moments, thinking. I heard her sigh.
“I will coax her to come to school tomorrow.”
“Yea, please do that, honey. Your friend shouldn’t be left alone.

“I think you really like Caroline. If it was her, just say it, bro. You shouldn’t keep a secret, we are brothers. C’mon. I told you everything about me, without your effort to ask. Don’t be so secretive.” She kept on begging me
“No.” I laughed.
“OK. You go to school alone tomorrow.”
“Hahaha, what is this now? Trying to threatening me?”
“Be frank with me, bro. Do you have a girl?”
“No, I don’t. It was my brother, Andy. No secret. If I would have girl, you will be the first to know. Don’t worry about it. I went to his room because he asked something about his stuff.”
“OK, I keep your words. Here, come, see this. This would be the present for the slut as soon as the package reached me. Cool huh?”
