"That definitely is the worst part." Charlie explained. "Especially when they're too drunk to realize what they're doing." She went on. "I never wanted to be that girl who woke up the next morning, feeling ashamed of herself. You know what I mean?" Ellie seemed like someone who would be a good friend for Charlie. Not so into the party scene, but not entirely away from it. [/blockquote]

She nodding along with what Charlie was saying. "Yes! My thoughts exactly.". Charlie seemed nice. They seemed to have a lot in common. "Hey, I was about to head over to Starbucks after my walk, wanna come with? It's just across the road.". One great thing about Kingswood is that everything you need is within walking distance of each other. [/size] |

"Yeah, sounds good! I'm dying for some caffeine." She laughed, and they walked over to Starbucks. They walked in and ordered their drinks. When they got them, they sat down at a table and talked. "So, I swear it was you that i saw talking to a guy the other night at the dance!" Charlie explained. "I was talking to Sienna, and the girl talking to the jock looked pretty familiar." "Is that your boyfriend?" She asked with a smirk. [/blockquote] |

"Nah. Sienna pushed me to go talk to him. She's trying to help me gain confidence cause when it comes to going up and talking to guys, I get really nervous." She confessed. "Also, she was doing it to try and help me get my mind off of this guy that I'm kind of crushing on." Yeah, pssht, like that'd work. [/size] |

"I swear we're partially the same person! So am I..it's just nerve-racking! But seriously, it's hard to believe you have any trouble with guys, you're gorgeous!" Charlie exclaimed. "Ah, I see." "That's always annoying." : / "Who's this guy? If you don't mind me asking." [/blockquote]

"Um, hello, and you're not? Have you looked in a mirror?!" Ellie grinned. She bit her lip, reluctant to say his name. It's not that she didn't trust Charlie, she was just worried that she may actually know him. "His names Sean.. not sure if you've met or not.". What if she had met him, and she liked him? She really hoped she didn't. That would be so awkward. [/size] |

Charlie smiled a little. She never thought of herself as 'gorgeous.' "Thanks." When Ellie said she liked Sean, Charlie stopped for a second. Everyone does know everyone in this town. "Yeah, he moved in the house next to my grandparents. So we're neighbors." she smiled. "That's so cute though, does he know?" She asked ellie. [/blockquote] |

Ooh. She did know him. Ellie bit her lip and shook her head, “For a moment I thought he might like me back.. but I think I’ve pretty much burnt that ship from ever happening.”. She sighed. “And I’m too scared to tell him now.” [/size] |

Charlie looked at Ellie with a confused expression. "What happened? I mean, what could you have done to do that?" She asked. "You never know, he might feel the same." She smiled. [/blockquote]

”If I tell you, you’ll probably judge me too..” She sighed. “It’s just that.. nobody knows the full story to what happened.”. Ellie gave in. She may as well just tell her the whole story. “After my father’s death, I went away to my aunt’s house in England just to sort of.. get away from everything. Anyway, when I return I found out my best friend Jersey had a new girlfriend. Truthfully, I’ve had feelings for Jersey since I met him, just been too scared to act on him. So I got jealous, we had a fight and in the end confessed we had feelings for each other. Then the other night, Sean, Jersey and his girlfriend Justine were at my house. I was mad that he was still with her when he was confessing all these feelings for me and Jersey ended up kissing me. I know... I’m a horrible person for it. Sean and Justine caught us. Sean got pissed at me and since then.. we’ve barely spoken.” She said with a sigh. “It’s just, I’m not that person. It’s just that I’ve been wanting Jersey for so long and then he kissed me. You have a total lapse of judgment moment. But, in between all this, I met Sean and he’s just so.. perfect. I ended any ‘thing’ I had with Jersey because I knew it was wrong and I know how I feel about Sean but he’s never gonna speak to me again.” Ellie was very much aware that she had just rambled on a whole lot of crap to a complete stranger. “…I’m sorry. I just haven’t really spoken to any one about what’s been going on.” [/size] |

"No, don't even worry about it." That was a lot to take in, so Charlie paused for a moment. "I think that if I were in your position, I would have done the same thing. I mean when someone kisses you, and you like them, it makes sense to kiss him back." Charlie went on. "I mean, even though I don't condone cheating, he was your best friend. And you did like him first." She explained. "And with Sean, just be honest with him. I've only talked to him once, but he seems pretty understanding." When Ellie told Charlie the truth about everything, she kind of felt guilty for lying to her. [/blockquote]

"Everything just so messed up." She said putting her head into her hands with a sigh. "I just wanna tell Sean I like him and get it over with.. but I just can't. I was a part of someone cheating, that's just so.. awful.". She was so disgraced with herself. [/size] |

"Okay, but just hear me out. A person who is really a horrible person, wouldn't even feel bad about cheating. But you do. You see? You didn't intend for that to happen, it just did." Charlie said, trying to make Ellie feel better. "Plus it sounds like Jersey made the first move.." "And guarantee that Sean will give you a second chance. Nobody's perfect." [/blockquote]

Ellie listened to what she said to say, and she had to admit, it made a lot of sense but she was just too upset with herself to really take it on board. "I will tell him." She told Charlie, mainly telling herself too "If I can get him to speak to me...". Ellie bought her coffee to her mouth and took a sip. "So, what about you? Leave any cute lovers back home in your home town?" [/size] |

"Great!" she smiled. "I think he'll understand." Charlie realized she didn't have to hide anything anymore. Ellie seemed really trustworthy. "Uh, sort of." she sighed. "My boyfriend broke up with me about a week before I left, but he was a jerk..so no, no cute lovers." She explained.
