Chapter 1.2: Separate Ways




Gwen woke up early the next day, very nervous, for her first day of work. She tried to brush her charisma skills by reading the Charisma Vol. 1: Fixing the Friend Problem. She doesn’t have a problem with a friend but maybe she can learn to fix her nerves for her first day at work.

Holden has also woken up. He looked at his bestfriend’s beautiful face full of nervousness. He assured her that everything will be alright and she would do good later. “I’m going to cook Waffles for you to ease up your nerves.”

Gwen is on the last page of her book, when she smell something burning. She immediately got up and looked for Holden but he was not in the Kitchen anymore and as she looked into the over she saw black smoke coming out of it. “Oh my God! The waffles! Where the hell is Holden?!” She ran to save the waffles.

 But…..

 
It was burnt to crisp and it looks like charcoal. She can’t save anything for breakfast. She is pissed. She knows that Holden forgot that he is cooking something, being with the absent-minded trait, this could turn dangerous. What if she’s not there? There could have been a fire.


Meanwhile…

Holden is reading the basics of logic when Gwen stormed in his room. “What’s the fuss all about?” he asked Gwen innocently. This made Gwen more pissed with him. “You just almost get the house on fire and you’re sitting there reading your book!” Holden looks puzzled. He didn’t even know what she was talking about.

Gwen stormed out of the room and Holden followed suit. When he got out she saw her fixing her things. “I’m going to the museum.” As he was passing the kitchen he saw the burnt waffles in the counter. Now he knows why Gwen is pissed.


 He followed Gwen to the cab, but still she is not talking with her. He tried to apologize but she looked straight ahead trying to pretend he doesn’t exist. He knew that it was his fault. They always argue because of him being the absent minded


 
As they walked out of the cab, Holden is still following her. She stopped and told Holden to back off. She wants her space and she is irritated with him because of what he did and she left him on the first floor.

Holden felt humiliated, what was he thinking! He’s just a friend! Why was he following her like a dog following its master. He didn’t do anything wrong. She knew him for years, she always know he is absent minded. Why can’t he just accept the fact that he’s absent minded and he’s not going to change.

 
Holden doesn’t know what to do and suddenly someone tapped him, “Hiyah!.  He looked who is it, it’s Zelda Mae, Gwen’s boss. “You also love art? I love guys who’s In touch with their artistic side. All the boys that I’ve met just look at their muscles and see how big it gets.”Zelda Mae said.

“Hahahaha! Well I’m not your particular guy.” Holden said.

“Now that’s my kind of guy..”Zelda Mae said to him, while batting her eyelashes.

Holden was delighted. He was delighted that someone likes him. He likes the attention Zelda Mae is giving her. He had forgotten his fight with Gwen and he decided to have a chat with Zelda Mae.

 
At the 2nd floor of the museum...

Gwen is feeling guilty for what she did to Holden. She didn’t meant for him to leave. She just wants a space between him and her. Now she missed talking to him. She had to apologize. She had to find him and say how sorry she was.

Back at the 1st floor of the museum..

“Well I gotta go and do something on the 2nd floor. I need inspiration for my next song, well I think I already found it,” Zelda Mae smiled at him. “And I also gotta pee! Hahahaha!”

“Well I got your number. See you!, Holden said. He was following Zelda with his eyes as he saw Gwen coming downstairs.

“Hi! Gwen! See you in a bit. Don’t be late at your first day! Zelda exclaimed. “And by the way, you really had a handsome bestfriend”

He looked at Gwen’s reaction, but Gwen’s head is bowed down. He knows he had to apologize. But before he could even say something, “You’re still here huh, I thought you went somewhere. See you in the house. I gotta go somewhere”Gwen said to him and rushed off in the front doors of the museum. Now he’s really confused. She knows that reaction from Gwen. Now she’s giving her the cold shoulder. What did he do?



 
Holden went to the library. He is puzzled by Gwen’s attitude. So he will try to write a book to relax for a bit. The title of the book is “How Can A Geek fall in love with Ms. Popular?”. He will tell his love story to the public. He had to get away from the real world even just for awhile. Now it’s him and the computer. Time to write..

Time to write about his life…

Will everything be okay between Holden and Gwen or will they fall out of love even the friendship? Will the first book of Holden be successful to the public?   Stay tuned on the next chapter.
