Chapter 3: Awkwardness

Chapter 3

Awkwardness

This morning Chris picked me up and we drove to school in silence.  Awkward silence. It’s been the first time that Chris and I experienced silence because usually we can’t shut our mouth up for one freakin minutes, we always joked around, talking about some nonsense thing.

Well what do you expect us to do? Act like nothing happened? Yeah I know that we both agreed to forget what happened but it’s not that easy.

I heard Chris cleared his throat and asked “Are you coming or what?” I must be carried away by my thoughts that I didn’t even notice that we are already parked at our school parking lot.

I unfasten my seat belt, I grabbed my backpack and opened the door. I stormed off towards the school but a hand grabbed my wrist.

‘Hey Megs, I know that it is uncomfortable but can you, I mean can we make it less AWKWARD?” Chris asked.

I nodded, “okay” he smiled while letting my wrist go. I walked towards the door and stormed off to my locker. I froze when I catch a glance at Brandon with Kimberly, kissing.

Tears started to build up in my eyes, I closed my eyes. I need to look brave I don’t want him to feel that I still want him, that I still like him.

I filled my bag with my books and ran towards my math class. When I get in to the room, I sat at my usual seat and waited for our math teacher to show up. Minutes later, I saw Miss Bowman walked in front of the class and cleared her throat.

“Good morning class” Miss Bowman said while flashing her pearly white teeth. I heard some murmurs of good morning and some groaned, including me. Well you really can’t blame me. Who the hell in this world want to take a math class this early in the morning?

Miss Bowman started the class and keeps babbling about algebra. I don’t even give a damn about what she’s talking about and started doodling in my notebook.

The bell rang and started to pack my notebook and headed towards the door when a hand grabbed my wrist. I froze when I saw him. Ian McKingsley, the quarterback of the football team and one of Brandon’s  friends. I had a small crush on him when we were freshman but it changed when I dated Brandon on sophomore year. Ian and I has been friends since Brandon introduced me his friends. Ian is a good person, he has an icy blue eyes, broad shoulders and he’s as hot as freakin lava with those six packs abs. I talked to him when Brandon and I are having problem, he’s like my second boy bestfriend.

“Can I talk to you?” he asked softly.

“Yeah, what’s up?” I said trying to act cool.

“Are you okay?” he asked. I shook my head unable to form a word. My eyes started to water and tears are threatening to escape.

“I’m so sorry” he said while engulfing me into a tight hug. It feels so good to have Ian as a friend. It felt warm against he’s arm. It took me seconds to respond and I encircled my arms around his torso. Ian walked me to my second class and asked me if I’m free to hang out after school

 “so are you free after school today?” he asked “ you know… uhm… hang out?”

“I would love to hang out with you Ian” I said smiling. “Uhhh can I ask you something?” I asked. He rose his eyebrow at me “What?” he asked curiously.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked.

“Do what?”

“This!” I said gesturing to the two of us. “Are you doing this because you pity me?”
