These suspicious friends of mine...he muttered smiling. He strained his ears harder to catch a glimpse of what they were talking about.
"I wonder if Jack will ever forgive you, that is even if he knew what you did" he heard Tom say.
Jack? That is me... What exactly did Chris do that he deserves my forgiveness? Could it be they knew I am coming and they plan to prank me like they always did? He thought...
He was about to open the door when he heard something else...
"About what? Is it Naomi? Oh please, it is three months already, even if he knows, there is nothing he can do about it because the deed has been done". He heard Chris say.
Now, this is getting more interesting, what is going on? What did these two do to Naomi and me? No wonder I have been suspicious of their movements all this while.
Chris chuckled again and continued, " it has been a while I have seen her anyway, is she even in this city at all?"
" Why would she be there? After what you did?"
" I am sure Jack cannot and can never know what we did, he would only guess but he cannot know, it is not even possible for him to know unless one of us rat each other out".
What did they do to Naomi, oh God, just let these guys talk, let their secrets be let out, he prayed for the first time.
"I have a question for you Christian"
"Go on as long as it is not bad"
"Are you still interested in her?"
"Of course I am, I love her"
So he has been in love with my girl all this while? Are these guys the friends I know? He wondered again.
"I doubt you"
"Fine, I cannot lie to you, I do not have interest in her since she did not even give me a listening ear after what happened, I wished she had given me a listening ear but instead she just sat down in a car wallowing in tears and depressed"
"Who caused it?"
"Are you asking me? But I am sure she is not in this city again,"
" For the fact that you did not see her does not mean she is not in this city again and besides almost all the young ones attend Ken Kira high and that automatically means almost all of them knew what happened and for them to know, the news would have spread around the entire city, probably she went to a more quiet place to clear her head or she is always indoors mostly"
Could it be they are talking about the incident of three months ago? Could they have a hand in it as Naomi said? Are these my friends? Jack thought again.
" Oh-oh"
" But what about the mess you created?"
" Mess?"
" Yeah, you and I both know what we meant"
" Me or we? We both created the mess, not only me"
"No, you did, I brought the idea and you executed it, not me, okay? I only helped you, not like I had a hand in it. You were the one who wanted to separate them by all means and you did though"
"I only did it for my love and unfortunately, she did not even look my way"
" Wasted efforts, sorry buddy but I warned you"
" Well I do not regret ever doing something like that because I can not have her, then Jack also should not have her, she was mine to begin with anyway, I do not care about any mess, let us just assume that Jack was the cause of the mess, he brought it upon himself"
" But how is Jack the mess? Just admit you were the one looking for trouble and not the other way round, For Pete's sake, Jack never knew you were in love with his ex-girlfriend"
What? Chris was in love with Naomi? , He has a hand in what happened. Jack wondered.
" Whatever, let us just assume that the deed has been done and it is over, we should not argue over spilt milk"
" You are something"
" Let us forget it, it is the past, even Jack can not know okay? He can not know that we were the ones who framed her up, he paused for a while and continue,
" Do you even know the part I enjoyed the most and can never forget?"
" What part?"
" I can never forget that day"
" Which day got you smiling like this?"
" The best day of my life, the day Jack got to know that Naomi did something like that, imagine the look on his face, it was so funny, if there was trust between them, he should have investigated the more, I could not stop laughing within me, that fool did not even trust her a bit, so funny, how about you, what was your best day during the period of the incident?"
" None!"
" None? Like seriously? Are you kidding me right now?"
" No and that is your problem not mine, okay? That is gone forever as I said earlier, it is the past, let us forget it".
"But I still love her"
"Can you hear yourself right now?"
" Even if she did not give me a chance and will still not give me a chance, that does not change the fact about what I feel for her, even if I see her today, I will continue to try my best to win her heart no matter what, for now, I will just assume she is too blind to realize that Jack is not interested in her, I am damn sure that what he feels for her is pure hatred, after all, he believes she betrayed him, at least he never trusted her when he was supposed to do so also"
Chris? He almost screamed out.. how could they this to me? I trusted them...
