The Look Of Love

Chapter 14: A Sister, A Baboon, & Ma Tarte Chérie

When the bell rang for lunch, Bobby gathered his things and headed to his locker. It's finally lunch time. He'd been counting down the minutes until he'd get to see Mary again.  It's really frustrating not being able to see her, since they don't have classes together. That's the price he has to pay, for falling for a stunning smartie. 

As he was putting his books away, an annoying tap was felt on his shoulder. Thinking it was one of the guys, he stated "What do you want asshole?" How wrong he is. It's his little sister. However, his words were actually perfect for how she treats him. 

Agitated, he took a quick look around. "No, no, no. I told you, there's no lame freshman at Senior lockers-unless: you're bleeding out, throwing up, or dying— which you're not," a mortified Bobby told his sister. Then he pushed her forward. "So go!" 

An equally annoyed Samantha Brown, replied "Bag your face Bobby. I came to see if you could give me a ride home this afternoon. School choir practice is canceled."

What does he look like a taxi service? "Sorry, I can't. You should know by now, I have karate today." She should know that by now.

With a whining voice, she complained. "What am I supposed to do?" 

"Call mom. Now go," he said pointing.  

In a huff of hair and attitude, she told him "You're so, so..." 

"Much better" finished a teasing Tommy. The guys came walking towards the siblings.

Getting agitated, Bobby asked "You assholes are never going to let that go are you?" He ran a hand through his brown locks.ssss

 "Nope never!" they replied grinning from ear to perfect ear. Bobby threw his hands up to the sky. 

Samantha looked at her brother and his friends. She wondered what they were teasing him about. They hardly ever tease him, knowing he could kick their asses into next year. He was second best in his dojo, after all. But then he deserves it . Who does he think he is, treating hers like gum underneath his big shoes? Stupid bunch of idiots. 

Narrowing his eyes to look at Sam, Bobby questioned "Why are you still here?" His sister stamped her foot and whirled away, off to who knows where she eats for lunch. 

"Bye now," the Cobra's mocked, waving her off. "What did she want?" a nosy Jimmy wondered. 

After exhaling a huge breath, Bobby answered. "A ride home." As he said this, he noticed his love interest chatting with his little sister. Oh God no! That is a terrible combination. No good could come from this.

The boys noticed too. "Looks like she found a ride," Tommy said snickering. How unfortunate for him.

Clinching his jaw tight, Bobby shook his head. "This is not good. This is SO not good, especially after how I treated her. There's no telling what she's saying about me to Mary." 

Johnny noticed his friend's worry. He clapped him on the back. "Chill out  man. They could be talking about that club they're in together, or they could be talking about the weather, or hair thingies," he stated. 

Not one to pass by an opportunity, Dutch teased him. "Or they could be talking about you, lover boy." Using a girl's voice, he mocked "Your brother is so cute. I mean would you just look at his butt."s 

Playing along Jimmy imitated Sam, "Who? My brother? He's a big dummy." 

"No he's not! He's so, oh, oh, oh much better," returned his teasing friend.
