Avoiding the 0 negitive

Chapter 7

She looked at me with an amazed look. Then finally she answered. "I just have to do my makeup really quick. Kay?"

She walked into the bathroom and stayed in there for 30 minutes.

While she was getting ready, I printed out the tickets, got some food for the both of us and drank almost a gallon of soda.

"Ready!" she called from the bathroom.

"What took you so long?" I walked to around the wall and saw Nina. She looked amazing. Her hair was curled and in a high ponytail, and she just has a really natural look to her. But I couldn't figure out what she did. "Wow." I stuttered.

"I was thinking, these people that are chasing me know what I look like. So I curled my hair and did my make up completely different. This should work right?" She stood there with a sweet smile and said nothing more.

"I.. I, you.." What's wrong with me, I can't speak right. "You.... you look, um.... You look," I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.

"Hey, is something wrong?" She grabbed my arm. "You do look so good. Come here." She stood on her toes and put her free hand on my four head. "You don't have a fever? That's strange, your face is so red."

"I'm fine." I manage to choke out.

"Are you sure?" She pulled her hand away from my face. "Hold on. " she stepped into the bathroom and got a wet wash cloth out of the sink. "Here, go sit in the chair and lay this on your head."

"I said I'm fine. Don't worry. Just eat and then we'll go. " I handed her the Mc. Donald's bag and stepped back. "I didn't know what to get you so, I just got some hash browns."

" GREAT! How many did you get?" She opened the bag and pulled out all 4 hash browns. "Perfect. Thanks Austin."

"Wait, you can't have them all. I need to eat too."

"Really? I haven't eaten since I was at the air port. IM STARVING!!!" She gripped the bag and turned around. "I'm gonna die if I don't eat them all."

She turned around and gave me a sad puppy dog face.

"Don't even try that act with me. It doesn't work."

"We'll then," she put the bag behind her back. "If you want one, then you have to fight me for it."

I stood there and and looked at her."Really? Your joking."

"No, I'm for real. If you want a hash brown, then you have to fight me for it."

"I can't hit a girl." I was surprised. She thought she could take a hit from a guy? She's crazy.

"I never said a fist fight. I meant you'll have to pry this bag from my cold, dead hands."

"C'mon." I said walking over to her. "Just give me the bag before you get hurt." I reached for the bag but she dogged my hand and ran to the other side of the room.

"If you don't hurry, you'll miss your chance." She pulled out a hash brown and took a huge bite out of it. "One! Only three left, better hurry up."

"You asked for it." I ran around her and grabbed her arms. "You never had a chance." I grabbed the bag and pulled out 2 hash browns. "Two for you, two for me. Alright?"

"Fine." She pouted.

I sat in the chair and ate. I was so hungry, I'm happy I got the bag back.

"Austin." I looked up and saw Nina standing in front of me. "I'm done, can we go?"

"Sure." I stood up and before I knew it, Nina grabbed my hash brown and took a bite out of it. "Really?"

"I never said I was full, I said I was finished."

She walked to the door and stepped out of the room.

What am I getting myself into?
