Chapter 20 Secrets are out

"So you're saying that you're still going to go here, but you sent a box full of rocks, through a couple, just because your car is full?" Langston asked, holding in his rage. The old woman, who I learned was Linda, nodded. She hugged her husband at the side and grinned at us, "Yes. It wasn't much trouble, right?" No, no it wasn't! You knew we were just walking and you sent a box full of rocks to the eastern part of the town! Yes, yes we're fine.  I pursed my lips, "You gave us a time limit. Which is midnight. Who are you? Fairy-God Mother?" I asked her nicely. Well, inside I'm crashing the world already, but I should still show respect to the old lady. We're inside their house right now, which shouts Old People Lives Here but it's sweet. She told us that it's their 30th anniversary tomorrow Wow, she's old... Probably at her 50's. She smiled at me, "You see, I'm fixing my garden here, and I really do need those rocks." "Why were you in Denovan, anyways?" Langston asked, The old man -Carlo- answered for her, "My wife here is babysitting our grandchildren since their parents are in their anniversary." Linda laughed, "Yes! and instead of paying me, Rowenda, my daughter, would pay me with this huge, beautiful, rocks!" Don't forget about the heavy part. "Not to sound rude or insulting, but, why are you wearing a Rooster suit?" She asked. I was about to correct her when her husband took her hand and corrected her for us, "I believe it's a Hen Suit, hun." And here I thought he'll correct her correctly. "Are you saying I'm stupid, Carlo?" Linda glares at her husband. Oh, poor man. "No, I'm just saying that you're probably color blind. Can't you see? It's white." What? I look at Langston, only to see his jaw on the ground. Linda's eyes widened, "You're color blind! Obviously, it's orange, moron!" We gawked at them. No. Both of you are color blind. "Are you saying that you married a moron?" Carlo smirked. "Apparently!" "Then why did you marry me if I'm a moron?" "Because you're my moron." Aww! "I love you." The old man smiled, giving a kiss on the old woman's forehead, hearing an I love you too as the reply. Aww! How sweet...? Earlier, they were fighting like Langston and me, and now they're cuddling! Like Langston and me. I immediately shake off my stupid thoughts. I sighed through my nose before standing up, "Well, it is getting late. We'll be off now!" I grabbed Langston's arm and pulled him out of the house. "Wait!" We stopped and turn around, seeing Linda holding a plastic, "Here are the envelopes. Thank you!" I smiled at her, I guess the rocks does make her happy, "No problem. Goodbye." I waved before leaving the house and walk to the direction they gave us to the bus stop. ----------- Inside the bus, Langston looked at me and smirked, "Why were you acting like a plastic earlier?" "Plastic?" He nodded, "Yeah, a fake plastic." He raised the one he was holding, "You were angry earlier yet you were smiling. Oh, and don't forget the "No Problem" It was hilarious!" He mocked, I glared at him "It's called having manners darling, try it sometimes." He rolled his eyes. Changing the topic, I remembered something out of the blue, "Is it normal for young boys to be in denial?" ... "What?" I smiled, facing him, "Remember the day I apparently ruined your life?" "There's a reason why I said those words, and obviously, I would remember it." Smartypants. "So, is it normal?" He looked at me with no emotions, "If I'll ask you, are all human beings the same? What would you say?" "In what way are they the same?" He facepalmed. "Let me change that into a more specific question," He thought loudly, "Do girls shriek every time they see their crush?" I scoffed, "Heck no! If ever that would happen, I quit." His eyes widened, "Being a girl?!" He finally rambled, "You can't quit on being a girl! That wouldn't make sense! That couldn't make sense!" Oh, idiot. I snort, "No, this question." He nodded, "Aaah," "You can't quit on your gender, you know? Since your genitals are still there." He smirked, "There's some surgery for that shi- poop." Nice save "Wait, are you one of them who changed!?" I teased him -NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH BEING A TRANSGENDER, "Don't worry, I won't judge." He glared at me, "Shut up." I laughed while he continued, "Anyways, all I'm saying is that everyone is different. Don't be a sexist or a stereotype. If a man killed someone, does it mean every mankind in the planet killed someone also." I shrugged, "You'll never know." "Chloe." I smiled sheepishly at him, "So, why did you act like that?" He didn't meet my eyes when he answered this, "Act like what?" "I don't know, a jerk?" "I was not a jerk." He finally looked at me, "At least, it wasn't this bad." I raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? Remember that valentines day?" *Flashback in both of their heads* "Reed?" I asked curiously, He turns around and he grinned at me, "Hey Chloe!" "What are you doing here?" His eyes widened, "Uh... Well... Uhm... I'm waiting for Ivan," I 'aah' and said, "Ivan's going to the math room, probably going to confess his undying love to Archie." I chuckled, He frowned, "Why are you laughing? Is it bad for a boy to like someone?" My eyes widened, "No! It's just cute," His frown wasn't gone, "Cute? What's so cute with a boy who has a crush on someone?" "It's adorable," "Adorable!?" My eyes widened, bigger, this time, "Calm down! I'm just saying that-" "YOU should never laugh at someone just because they like someone!" What? "No!" He stood up angrily, What's his deal? *end of flashback* "So... what was with you?" His semi-tan and semi-pale cheeks turned red. Is this BAD BOY blushing? No. Way. No way! "You had a crush on someone," I pointed my pointy finger at him, "YOU HAD A CRUSH ON- SHUAMSHUAN!" I was muffled by Langston. He glared at me before giving a sheepish smile around us. "Will you shut your mouth?!" He whispered slash yell. "NO!" He looked flustered, "Then will you please lower your voice?" I rolled my eyes before fixing the way I sit, "Only because you said please." He sighed in relief, "Thank you." "So...? Who is she? Wait, was she or a he?" "Chloe." "Nah, I'm kidding," I laughed, "But, is this crush of yours a 'was' or still an 'is'?" He blushed harder, "Is." Aww! "Aww! Moe! Flowers of Moe are everywhere!" I giggled. "Moe?" "It's Japanese for... ersh... to keep it short, I find the situation super cute." Then he finally looked piss off, "So now it's cute. I thought it was so bad that you just have to laugh at m- youngsters who like or even love someone." What? "You thought I was laughing because it was funny?" Was he an idiot? Yes. Yes, he was and still is. "I told you, I was giggling because it was cute." I told him, "It wasn't because I was making fun of you guys!" His frown turned into a confused look, "Really?" I nodded, "Positive." "Are you sure?" "Oh no, no. I'm not sure since I'm me." I said sarcastically. "Oh... then I apologize again." He said sheepishly, "Will you forgive me?" Even if I say yes, I still don't get it why he was so pissed off when he thought I made fun of him. Oh, I have a plan. "No," I told him firmly. "No?!" "No.' "What?" He literally looked like a lost puppy, "But-" "I'll forgive you if..." "If...?" "If... You'll tell me why you were angry at me when you thought I was making fun of you for liking someone." He looked down. Then frowned. "I... I..." 'Stopping at Denovan.' An automatic computer voice blasted from the speakers, making the bus stop with Langston. Sighing in disappointment, I stood up and held my hand out for Langston to grab on it, "Let's go." Taking my hand, he stood up, "But-" "Let's just go," I told him, pulling him towards outside. "No, Chloe, you have to hear-" "No need," "No, Chloe, you need to hear-" I turned to him, "No I don't." I sighed, "If I'm your friend, why can't you tell me? Can't you trust me?" He opened his mouth to answer but I immediately turn around, walking away, "Whatever. Let's just leave and go home-" I was cut off when I was pulled back by my wrist and a soft pair of lips were on mines. All thoughts broke down; flushed like poop in a toilet bowl; gone like the wind. Except for this though: Reed Edward freaking Langston just took my first kiss.
