The Army Brat

Chapter 8

"Dude why would you do that?" Alex shouted trying to catch up with me slapping me when she did
"What are you talking about" I said teasing her just wanting to see her squirm
"You know what I'm talking about"
" I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't" I said opening the Cafeteria door laughing
Then my smile went away when I saw the last person I wanted to
Chris
I quickly smiled again so he wouldn't notice what effect he has on me
"I'm not hungry I'll meet you on the bench, Okay?" I told Alex
She looked confused for a second but then saw him
"Okay" she said with and understanding smile on her face

"Fuck this bench is hot" I shouted rubbing my ass and laughing
"Umm why are you rubbing your ass?" Chris ask from behind me
'Little shit almost give me a heart attack' I thought to myself
'Ignore, just ignore. Once he sees you don't like him he'll move on to another girl'
"Look I'm sorry about last night. Madison isn't my girl and I didn't kiss you because I was using you. I actually like you."
Like me? Is this dude serious? He doesn't even know me, he's such a dumbass.
'Ignore him. He's like a fly, eventually he'll go away.'
"I understand if you don't want to talk to me. I just wanted to apologize and speak my truth."
Speak his truth. I scoffed
Damn I wanted to punch his gorgeous face
"Hey you two, I'm I interrupting something" Alex asked
Damn I've never been so happy to see this short girl
"Well-" Chris started to say something but I cut him short
"No!" I said to loudly
"Oookay" Alex dragged
"Dude how did you not get suspended?" Alex ask
"I honestly don't know she just walk away, I don't know why. If she had given me more time I would have caved"I said with a little chuckle
"What did she do?" Chris asked
Why is he still here?
Alex told Chris everything that happen
"Why would you do that?" He asked
This kid really doesn't want me to like him
"Because she was picking on me and body shaming me"
"I'm sure you could have handled it better"
"Are you crazy? She could have handled it better. She could have taken me to her office and talk to me in private, but no she wanted the whole class to see. My guess was to make and example out of me"
"I doubt it"
"Oh really? So what do you suppose she was doing then?"I asked making him go silent
"Thought so" I quickly gathered my things and walked away
