The Horrible Truth (#Wattys 2017) (Complete)

At the Troublemaker's House

Coal's house at the top.

After Coal and I went to the bathroom, I luckily came before him. Anyways it was break time when I met Anny, Jacob and Yara ( the girl from my class) sitting on a table. Eventually, Coal and I decided to join.

"Hey guys!" I said.

"Hey Melissa. Whatsup?" Yara asked.

"Nothing much." I said looking at Jacob.

"How's working in partners going?" Jacob asked.

"Never been better honestly. Right Coal?"

"Yupe. I sure think we'll turn out the best."

"Hopefully." I replied.

We sat down when silence occured.

"Melissa." Jacob said.

"Yes?"

"May I speak to you?"

"You may speak here."

"No. Alone."

I looked at Coal and he nodded.

"What do you want?"

"I'm sorry for what happened last time. I just miss you."

"Well Jacob I didn't miss you too, and now I'm with someone else. You can find another girl though. All of 'em are looking at you wide eyed that their mouth will drop a fountain of saliva."

"Melissa. I want you to be my girlfriend."

"No Jacob. It can't happen neither sooner nor later." Have fun!"

I walked past him rushing towards Coal and hugging him tightly. He's probably a good boyfriend. I'm impressed.

"Hey. I'm back."

"What did he tell you?" He said suspiciously.

"Calm down. Nothing serious. He wanted to be my boyfriend but I refused."

"That's my girl." He said winking.

WAITTT... DID HE JUST CALL ME MY GIRL. LORD IM SWEATING.

"Awwww.." I said.

After school, Coal invited me to his house to work on that project. Apollo as Coal and Cassandra reffering to me.

"Melissa, you want me to drive you to my house?"

"Yes please."

"Hop in."

We drove in his BMW and headed towards his gigantic mansion. It was so cool.

"Like what you see?"

"Woah, this is amazing."

"Come on then."

We entered his house. It was quiet, no one was there.

"If you're wondering my mom works in an army and my dad is at work. Finally my brother is in school."

"Wow, pretty busy then."

"What do you want to do first?"

"Anything is fine. But I say, lets start with the project so we can finish early."

"No. First we will eat." He said.

 "Someones acting all kind and sweet."

"I already am and always will just for you." he said.

"Coal that's so sweet. Thank you!" I replied blushing.

"What's the food?"

"Guess."

"Ummmm....Pasta?"

"Nopee."

"Steak."

"Nope."

"Rice and chicken."

"Lol. No."

"I give up." I groaned

" It's Lasagna."

"No way!! Coal you're kidding right?"

"No I'm not. Why would I?"

"Thank you thank you thank you." I thanked him.

"Anytime for my girl." He said winking.

"Want any help?" I asked

"Nah it's fine."

He seems to be a great cook.

After settling the plates and spoons and cups on the table, we sat devouring the food.

"It actually tastes soo good."

"Thanks. I know I'm a great chef."

"You are to be honest."

"You have something on your mouth." He said pointing to the right.

"Really? I'll remove it, thanks" I said laughing and pushing him playfully away.

After finishing the food, I told him that, " I'll go wash the dishes."

"Cool. I'll prepare the area for studying."

"Ok."

After washing the dishes and cleaning the table. I headed upstairs to where we were going to study in.

"Ok ready?"

"Yupe."

We studied for about 2 hours and this is where Coal couldn't get his eyes off of me.

"Coal I got to go. It's getting late."

"Are you sure though."

"Yes. Your brother will be coming and your father too."

"Don't worry my brother has soccer practice, but i'll drive."

"Thank you so much and don't forget to bring the paper tomorrow."

"Sure."

He lead me outside his gigantic mansion and off we went.

I reached the house thanking him one last time. I entered the house and to my surprise I was terrified and afraid to enter...it was bad news.
