CHAPTER 16:

Always

The day for their play is coming so fast. Luckily, their solving every problem that comes to them. Jesse is now finished with whatever he's doing on his father's office. Katherine is now working with them on the play full time, all her debts on the school are paid, thanks to the alumni who helped her, and her father's already in a good condition.

Plus, not to mention their play finally completed, just a little polish more and it'll be perfect. The only thing they have to think is their classes and holding their play before they have their winter break.

They are now in the park having their lunch, some of them are practicing their lines, some are eating quietly, while the others are just messing around. Mike sat beside her and was panting.

"Chloe, please help me. It's Caroline."

At the mention of her friend's name, she quickly stood up, she's in worry. "Why? What happened to Caroline. Where is she?" She sensed Jesse stood up behind her and grabbed their bags.

"No, everything is okay with her. But I'm not. You see, we had this short skit that we did for Mr. Clarkson's class, and she kissed me. And I like her now. But she doesn't like me back. Help me please," Mike is pleading her.

She thought that something terrible happened to Caroline. Turns out she just had another admirer to add on her list. "Mike, I'm sorry. I cannot help you that. Maybe I could just talk to Caroline, but I cannot tell her what and what not to do. It's her feelings, not mine. If she does like you, then good for you. If she doesn't, then sorry. I cannot do anything about it."

"Mike, maybe we can manipulate a person's mind, but it's the heart that we cannot dictate. And, sorry to break this new to you in this way, but she already had Nate, our childhood neighbor. And they're doing pretty fine. If you try to do something crazy about that, you'll going to have to face me."

Mike's face and shoulder fell at the same time Caroline sat in front of her that made Mike ran away. This is going to be a conflict. And she doesn't like conflict in their group. It'll result to them tearing apart and she doesn't want that to happen. The best thing to do is to talk to Caroline and tell her to set things straight with Mike.

Caroline was eating silently in front of her while reading her book. She seems oblivious to the talk she had with Mike as she didn't ask any questions. She looked at Jesse who is just silently eating his burger.

She cleared her throat to Caroline's attention and luckily, she did. "Care, maybe we should talk ---"

"No!" Caroline exclaimed that made everybody on their table look at them.

"Caroline, you're driving him nuts. I think it's best if you talk to him. Set everything straight. Because he clearly likes you, and the kiss you shared deepened it even more. So, if you don't want anything to do with him and you don't want to hurt him, I think it's best that you set the record straight with him."

Her friend is lost for words before standing up and walking toward where Mike went. Well, maybe they're finally going to have 'the talk'. She got to admit that she loves helping her friends solve their problems, but sometimes, she's getting tired of being involve with their issues. She's getting tired of people constantly asking her what to do to solve their problems.

She took a deep breath and went to her class. She's still five minutes away before her class starts but she thinks it's best to head there early. Chloe will be having her class with Ms. Shallows now and she cannot wait to piss her favorite teacher again. There are a couple students inside the room. She took her seat at the very back of the room and save a seat for Jesse and Caroline.

It didn't take that long for Caroline and Jesse followed her to class and sit beside her. "Why did you leave early. You didn't finish your food. Are you not feeling well?"

"Maybe I'm just too exhausted." she laid her head on Jesse's shoulder and wait for their teacher to arrive. Caroline, who is sitting beside her, is very quiet and just drawing something in her binder. It's is so unusual for to be quiet. Maybe her talk with Mike didn't end well. But she decided not to say anything. It's better to keep her mouth shut.

Ms. Shallows entered the room and she sat properly. She doesn't want to make another scene in this class like what happened weeks ago. Their class started and it was the most boring and most uneventful two hours of her life.

She dropped herself on the bed after a very tiring day. Her head is spinning. Her visions are getting blurry. Maybe it's because of the exhaustion she's feeling. She's been going back and forth from her classrooms to the drama hall to check how their play's doing. Plus, the fact that she has tons of works on her plate.

Someone knocks on the door. But she doesn't have the strength to stand up and open it as well as shout for the person to come in. The pounding on the door is hurting her dead so she took a pillow and cover her face with it. She waited for the pain to stop but it never did.

When the knocks on the door stopped,
