Winter's Revenge Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - … Or is that Things can only get worse?

The Recital had finished and Tyler and I went out behind the school hall. We laid down in the snow looking up at the stars together. It didn't matter if it was cold and that I couldn't feel my toes, I was with him and that was all I cared about. I turned my head around to look at him and his eyes met my gaze. 'You're so beautiful under the moonlight' he whispered softly. Then he took his hand out from his pocket and stretched it out. I took my hand out of my pocket too and he grabbed it before I could feel the cold. 'We can't have your hands getting a fever now can we?' He said. Then he laughed like always did. I blushed and looked away.

'What's wrong?' he asked me when he noticed I wasn't looking at him anymore.
'It's just I ... ' I can't believe I still can't say anything to him. I wish I wasn't a nervous wreck like I always am, I wish I could be more confident like Kallima. Just going for it worked when I asked him out and it's going to work now. 'I really like you and I really want to kiss you' I finally got it out but I was still embarrassed that I had to say I wanted to kiss him instead of just kissing him.
'I want to kiss you too' he replied. I looked up straight away with beaming eyes and a smile. He likes me and he wants to kiss me. I leant forward slowly and so did he. Then we... wait, is he licking my face? Tyler didn't kiss me he is licking my face like a dog!
'Tyler! What the hell?!' I shouted in disbelief. 'Stop it, it tickles' I said laughing as I tried to push him off me. All of a sudden he turned from my date into a dog. 'Oh my god! What the hell?!' I shouted again. What was happening?

I woke up only to realise there was a dog licking my face and it was all a dream. Oh my God it was all a dream! It was going so good until he well turned into a dog. My first kiss was going to be so perfect, I really wish that was real. Even if he was licking all over my face, he's still cute. Wait… What? I don't even have a dog. I screamed so loud I would've wakened the dead.

Kallima came running in.
'What happened who died?!' she shouted frantically
'It's not a matter of who died; it's a matter of who was born. For example, this dog!' I said to her while trying to fend off the dog that was still trying to lick my face.
'Oh' she giggled. 'I guess you meant Crusty'
'Crusty?' I asked in confusion. 'Is this our dog? Wait more importantly is his name Crusty?'
'Yes, yes and hell yes!' she replied with a huge smile on her face. 'Come here boy!'
The dog stopped licking my face and ran over to where Kallima was standing. She picked him up and rubbed behind his ears. ‘Who’s a good Crusty? You are! You are' She said in a cute yet annoying voice that you normally use to talk to little babies.
'Crusty?! What kind of name is that?' I questioned.
' Ah, a good name' she interrupted.
'Whatever I don't even care just don't ever let it in my room I don't want it to ever disturb my dreams again.'

'Was it about Tyler?' She smirked. HOW DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT TYLER?!
'Uhm, I don't know what you're talking about' I said looking around my room trying not to make eye contact with her.
'Yeah right, you never were a good liar. That doesn't matter though. Why do I have to get the info from you when I can get it from the internet'. Internet? What does she mean by that?
'What do you mean on the Internet?' I asked in curiosity.
'It’s just the newest and most awesome website ever to hit the internet! It's called Aideen and her diary of Secrets. You're friend Matt linked it to me'. Oh my god what? Wait, more importantly as if Matt would do that! We had been best friends ever since kindergarten and we can tell each other absolutely everything! Why would he do this now for? I guess people change.

I heard the phone ring, shortly followed by mum calling my name to pick it up in the kitchen. I walked downstairs and picked up the phone.
'Hello?' I said into the phone. I still sounded pretty muffled since I only just woke up.
'Oh my God Aideen, I'm so, so, so sorry!' Cried Matt. I didn't want to talk to him I was really mad at the moment. One because I nearly kissed Tyler and I don't care if it was a dream that was the closest I've ever been to him and two because he gave Kallima that website link now she’s never going to live it down. I decided to hang up on him then take the phone off the hook so he couldn't call back. I don’t care if he was crying or not, it’s all his fault.

It was a Saturday afternoon so I thought I would log onto MSN to see if any of my friends we're on.
<Signing in as [e-mail]>
I really should make a new msn name I made this when I was 9.

(8 new friend requests)

Eight new friends? Do I even know 8 people? I accepted them all anyway because my friends list only consists of Matt and a few friends from Band club.

Tyler The Football Player ...I(L)AIDEEN!:
Hey Aideen, I got your msn address from the new website of yours.

Oh my god he loves me?! I don't care if it's too soon I love him too! That website, I swear I'm going to do something about it. So many people are adding me now because of it, probably just to tease me.

Aideen: Hey Ty, oh btw I have no control over that website. Bonnie has my diary and other things are made up on there so dw about it.

Tyler The Football Player ...I(L)AIDEEN!: Oh so you don't like me?

Aideen: No I do, if I had my dairy right now, your name would be all over it!

Tyler The Football Player ...I(L)AIDEEN!: Thanks that means a lot to me. Oh and I didn't mean to freak you out by putting that 'I (L)AIDEEN’ in my name it's just saying I like Aideen sounds kind of weird. So it just means that I like you.

Oh, so he doesn't love me… Oh well he likes me that is still a start.

Tyler The Football Player ...I(L)AIDEEN!: Listen I have to go, Coach is making us Train on weekends now. I'll pick you up at 7 so we can... you know... walk.

Oh my god he probably thinks I'm going to kiss him on the way there. As much as I want to I want the kiss to be perfect so I'm just going to have to keep my mouth closed until after the concert, I was just about to sign out when Matt came online.

Matt: Aideen I'm sorry, Kallima was over playing with my little sister when she saw what I was looking at then she made a threat that If I didn't tell her the name of the site she was going to tell you one of my secrets that I wanted to tell you myself.

Who am I Kidding? I can't stay mad at my best friend. Oh! What’s that secret about?

Aideen: It’s OK Matt, I love you I can't stay mad at you.

Matt: You love me?

Aideen: Of course I do Best friends love each other and we'll do anything for each other. Now tell me your so call 'secret'.

Matt: Only if we do a Secret Trade you tell me yours first then I'll tell you mine.

Aideen: But you know all my secrets. Actually I have one to tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone because it is kind of new but I don't want anyone to know.

Matt: I Promise. Pinky swear

Aideen: OK, you know how on the site it said that I like Tyler and I wish that he would ask me out?

Matt: Yeah... The lies Bonnie makes up :)

Aideen: Well we are going out now!! I am planning to kiss him tonight after my band recital. I'm so happy I always pictured him to be my first kiss. You're still coming to watch me tonight aren’t you?

<Last message received 10 minutes ago>

Aideen: Matt you still there?

Matt: Yeah sorry, I am coming… I was just thinking about stuff, that was all.

Aideen: (: I know what you mean… I often think way too much! Now what was your secret?

<Last message received 21 minutes ago>

Aideen: Matt? Did you leave again?? What was your secret?

<You sent a nudge to Matt>

Matt: Oh Sorry, I was thinking again. The secret wasn't important so it doesn’t matter.

Aideen: Uh-uh a deal is a deal you pinky swore!

Matt: OK, well I went to the doctors yesterday and got my allergy tests done and apparently I'm allergic to bananas.

Aideen: That’s it?

Matt: Sorry, I didn't think your secret would be so good. I guess I'm not good at fair trading.

Aideen: That's OK; you make up for it in your looks :P

Matt: I look good?

Aideen: Matt you look sexy :P Just like me lol I'm just joking around. Listen I have to go see you tonight!

(Now Signing out)

It was nearly 8 o'clock and I was sitting on stage with my trumpet. I looked down into the audience and there was Tyler. It was so sweet how he got all dressed up in a suit; it was like he was dressing for our special night. I sat there remembering our walk tonight.

He picked me up at 7 and we went the long way. It was really cold so our hands were in our pockets. Then just like my dream he stretched out his hand, only this time before I could think about giving him my hand I already had. We interlocked our fingers, his hand was so warm. He looked down at me and smiled.
'I like holding your hand'. I felt so good inside, I wanted to say the same thing back to him but I was too love struck to do anything else but keep on walking and looking into his eyes. If we were crossing the road right then I could have gotten ran over that's how much I wasn't paying attention. He lent down toward my face. Oh no! I thought to myself. Why Tyler? Why now? I don't want him to ruin what I had planned so I looked away and started talking about different ways you can hold a trumpet. It was so embarrassing. I can't keep him waiting any longer. I 'WILL' kiss him tonight but I'm afraid that when I begin I won't be able to stop.

After thinking about what had happened in that past hour it made me thirsty for some reason. I walked behind the stage and put my trumpet on a chair that I had found. I walked to the drinking taps outside to get some water but I should've known that in minus whatever degrees it is bound to be frozen. So I walked back inside. When I got there my trumpet was gone! Some bitch stole my trumpet. I searched for a good 5 minutes then I heard the show starting.

'Could Miss Kaida Amori please come on stage.' The announcer said into the mic in a slow and annoying kind of squeaky voice. Wait Kaida? Aren't I meant to be playing my trumpet solo first? A woman came up on stage and whispered into the announcer's ear. 'I'm sorry could Miss Aideen Fisher please come on stage'. How was I meant to go on stage with no trumpet! 'Miss Fisher?' I have to go. Tyler came here and got all dressed up just for me. Now I have to do this for him and then I can reward him with a kiss after it.

I walked on stage and stood in front of the mic but where was Tyler? He wasn't in his seat. Did he leave? Oh well Tyler or no Tyler I have to do this. Wait I don't even have an instrument. 'Uh, hello everyone thank you for coming but I seem to have lost my trumpet. I'm sorry but I won't be performing my solo' I was devastated I had waited 2 years for this night and it was ruined. Now I don't even know where Tyler went so my perfect first kiss was ruined too. I started to cry as I ran down the stage steps heading for the 'exit' door. When I got to the bottom of the steps I tripped over what seemed to be that woman who whispered to the announcer’s ear.

I tumbled over and crashed into and stage light which then fell over, broke and caught on fire. Oh my god, There is a fire!! Everyone started screaming and running out the door. I was so mortified but I had bigger things to worry about like the fire that is going to burn down the school hall if I didn’t do anything about it. I ran outside to the drink taps to collect water then I realised I had nothing to put the water into and that they are still frozen from before. I 'm such a retard!

I ran as fast as I could to get back to the hall. I had to try to do something to stop it even though I had no idea what that was. When I got inside the hall it was dark and quiet. I turned on the lights and the massive hall that could fit 3 double story houses in it was completely empty. No one was there not to mention there being any fire what so ever. I was so confused; the stage light that I broke wasn't there anymore. Even the glass that shattered onto the ground from the light was all cleaned up. I had no idea what was happening. Where is Tyler? I wonder if he is at the back waiting for me. I turned off the hall lights and went outside to look behind the hall. There was no sign of Tyler. Where is he and why did he leave in the first place? I stood there in silence as the snow storm began to pick up. Why did Tyler leave me here alone for? I started to cry. I guess I was walking home alone that night.
