Tight Wad Hill, chapter 3
*Ice's POV*
After awhile Tre and Mike went into the other room and talked. Wow kind of pathetic if you ask me fighting over a girl. Billie went in after them in after awhile. I waited till he was completely out of site when I walked up to the door.
"Are you going to tell her?" Billie asks. Tell who? I thought.
"No, he is going to stay away from her." I heard Mike's angry voice say.
"Well don't you think it would be better for Tre to go out with her then some weird guy we don't know?" Billie said. Tre was awfully quite. Now I was starting to think who were they really talking about?
"No! I would rather her date no one!" Mike said.
"MIKE! Your being way to over protective!" Billie yelled. "You and I both know Tre would never do anything to hurt her!"
"Mike, please understand it may just be a small crush and I'll probably get over it," piped in Tre. "Plus she might not even like me like that!"
"Fine we'll just drop it, okay?" Said Mike. Were they talking about . . . me? Did Tre really like me? I mean I have had a crush on him for quite sometime but . . . well Mike sounded really mad about the whole thing. I heard them coming out so I ran upstairs,
"ICE! Were you?" yelled a calmed down Mike. Even though you could hear the anger in his voice.
"Upstairs, I was going to take a shower!" I said as I walked in the bathroom.
*Tre's POV*
What was I joking to Mike? I didn't have a small crush on Ice. I loved her. Hopefully I'll get over it. I really want her o like me. I have had a crush on her for about two years. Infect I remember the day I started to really like her.
*Flash Back*
Ice and I were sitting at the local coffee shop. We invited Mike and Billie along but they had a project due. We sat at a table and ordered. I had a small crush on her but not that big of a deal. Besides she was going out with Wes at the time. She was on the verge of breaking up with him. He was supposed to join us. (Oh I was just 'thrilled') Then she got a phone call,
"Hey, this is Ice. . . . . . Hey Wes what's up? . . . . . What do you mean?" I could hear the sadness in her voice; I figured it was just him saying He couldn't come, "Its okay. . . . . .You still want to be-" he hung up on her. Ice had always choice her boyfriends. They were always really sweet to her then they break her heart in the hardest of ways. We sat there in silence for awhile. You see it was always like Billie was her best friend, and Mike was her brother. I always felt like I was a third wheel or something. I looked up and saw her crying. My heart stopped she never cried. I had never seen her cry. She was always so happy and cheerful. I didn't know what to do and before I knew it I was over beside her and hugging her as she cried on my shoulder. It kind of made me feel like I was important to her. She looked so beautiful and I didn't know exactly why. After a little bit. I wanted to cheer her up so we went to the street fair. We went on a few rides and played a few games. She laughed; she had such a pretty smile. She wanted to thank me for being there for her. So she bought me a bracelet thing (I think she was trying to make fun of me a little.) It kind of was girly she laughed as she handed it to me. Then I looked at her with a crazy look and she laughed harder.
*End of Flash Back*
I looked down at the bracelet. I always had it with me. Usually in my pocket because the guys would laugh at me.
"Tre, why are you wearing a pink bracelet?" asked Billie as he laughed. And I came out of my trance of Ice.
"Um . . . it was a gift," I said.
"From who?" Asked Mike.
"Ice. . ." I said looking at Mike waiting for his rampage.
He took a few deep breaths then said, "Tre, I'm not sure I want you to be around Ice 'alone' anymore." said Mike trying to be calm.
"Mike please. I would never hurt her on purpose-"
"THERE IS STILL A CHANCE YOU'LL HURT HER THOUGH!"
"Mike, I don't know what to say exactly but that I would really never hurt her. I love her to much-" Wrong words to say.
"LOVE HER?!?" Even Billie had a questioning look on his face.
"Why does it matter she doesn't love me!" I said in a temper I was getting mad. Why can't I love her?
"That's it! GET OUT TRE! OUT!!!" I wasn't expected that but I walked out anyway. I saw Ice look out her window with curiosity.
"Hey Tre are you going?" she asked she was in her pjs.
"Um home I don't feel so well."
"Oh well feel better soon!!"
"Okay."
*Ice's POV*
Tre was lying to me I could tell I wanted to know what was really going on. I told Mike and Billie I needed something at the store that I forgot and drove toward Tre's. I got there and knocked on the door. Tre answered his eyes kind of sad looking.
"Tre, what's wrong. Please tell me."
"I-I can't."
"Why?"
"I just can't, okay?"
"Please tell me."
"It's about a girl."
"Who?" he paused as if to think of a name.
"Penny."
"Liar now tell me the truth."
"No."
"Please."
"You! Okay are you happy?"
"What about me?" I didn't want to sound like I eased dropped even though I felt my eyes bulge.
"Well. . . I . . . but. . . .Mike. . . "
"You what?"
"I love you." I knew he liked me but I didn't know he loved me. Before I knew what I was doing I kissed him. I don't know why maybe I loved him too. Then I heard a knock on the door. I was scared I knew it was Mike. I didn't want him to hurt Tre so I ran and hid as Tre opened the door. Sadly enough I was right.
After awhile Tre and Mike went into the other room and talked. Wow kind of pathetic if you ask me fighting over a girl. Billie went in after them in after awhile. I waited till he was completely out of site when I walked up to the door.
