awkward in life

chapter 4

i walked into the kitchen and practically melted. The food smelled delicious. Joseph smiled at me want some bacon. I nodded shyly. Here you go and he handed me a plate full of bacon eggs and a donut. I was in love. I smiled at him and went to sit down. Everyone else was already eating and laughing. This was everything i wanted. Im glad im here i sat down next to zach. He looked at me and smiled. I suprisingly curved my lips into a smile and said what. Nothing im just really happy, thats all. I looked down at my food and picked up the bacon and took a bite. Then i noticed zach still smiling at me. I started to feel uncomfortable. Like he was going to notice all my flaws. I felt my cheeks get hot. I kept eating hoping he wasnt looking at me. I got up and walked to the sink. i was about to wash my plate but joseph took it and said dont worry about and smiled. I was walking into the hallway but felt someone following me i stopped and turned around it was zach. I looked at him, yes? i got you something. He handed me an i phone 6. I cant. Come on take we already bought it and put are contacts in it so u pretty much have too. I sighed , thank you. Whats wrong. Well i feel like i dont belong here. He just looked at me suprised. Thats how i felt he had a complicated frown. My parents died in a freak accident when i was 13 they took me in and treated me like...i was theirs. Oh im sorry i pulled him into a hug and closed my eyes i didnt notice him slowly wrap his arms around me. He put his arms around me and kissed my forehead. Its fine he whispered. He pulled back and smiled sweetly. Turned around and walked away. I thought about what happened. I looked down at my hand and noticed the phone. My eyes popped open he kissed me! On the forehead but i'll count it. I smiled a huge smile and went to my room. i sat on my bed and opened a book ive had for years. It was a love story. I read it over 50 times. And it made me smile every time. I began to read but there was a knock on the door. Uh come in. It was cassia. I felt sad cause of what happened. I smiled. She smiled back i wanted to tell you there will be school tomorrow. I know it will be different but you will have lunch with christian, lilly, and zach. oh okay she handed me a bag. This has all your school stuff. I nodded and said thank you. Your welcome. Out of no where she started crying. I hugged her and asked if she was okay. well ...ya. thank you for asking. She layed her head on my shoulder. Its just that im sick and wont live very long. We were still hugging. I want to be there when u and my kids graduate. I wish i could be at there weddings but , she pulled away and wiped her tears. I know i wont make it that long. I have 3 months left. Thats it and only u and joseph know. U cant tell my kids. She held both of my hands u have to promise not to tell them. I looked at her and instantly felt bad. I promise. She hugged me and said thank you. With that she left. I sat there for a minute thinking about what a good mother she is i smiled at the thought.

Christian walked in. Wassup he plopped down on my bed. Nothing i guess. good cause ur gonna come with me and hang out with my friends. Uh well um. You dont have to. He smiled. I would love too and i smiled back. Good cause my friends wanna meet you. He got up and said come on. I followed him outside he got in a car. It was a nice car. I got in the passenger seat. He pulled out his phone and plugged hos phone in and music blared through the speakers. He pulled out of the driveway and turned down the music. Were going to the arcade to eat pizza and stuff. I looked at the clock it was only 10:52 am. About 15 minutes later we arived at the arcade. We hopped out and he said i can tell you'll have fun. I smiled. We walked in and instantly he was greeted with people. Firs was a boy Christians age. They fist pumped and looked at me is this her his friend said. Yep. Dude shes pretty. i blushed instantly. He turned to me im issac he smiled and walked to a table. I looked over at christian he was hugging a girl with pretty blonde hair and brown eyes. She looked at me and her eyes beamed. Im paige! Its so nice to meet you. Its nice to meet you to i smiled. Then a boy came up to me im Logan your new best friend. Uh okay i shyly said. He grabbed my hand and pulled it tword the table and sat down and told me to sit beside him. Christian raised an eyebrow at me and logan. Then i noticed we were still holding hands. Um nothing i said. Logan i think her and Zach are already a thing. i swung my head tword him and frowned. He laughed. I looked at logan he looked a little sad. We are not. Logans eyes beamed at me. What ever you say christian said. A few minutes later we got pizza and played games. Me and logan hung out the most he was really sweet and funny. Issac would come uo to me and talk and laugh with me he was cool. Paige is sweet and seems really nice. I would say today was a pretty good day. It was 4: 35 pm we were there for a while and i was tired. Christian sighed and looked at his phone. He looked up sorry guys we have to go. Awwwww i heard logan say we got up i waved goodbye and me and Christian walked to the door. But i heard logan say wait up he walked up to me can i have your number? He asked it so sweet and innocently i couldnt say no. I looked on my phone for my number and told it to him. Then he gave me his. Thank you he said. Your welcome. He smiled and held out his arms saying hug. I half smiled and he wrapped his arms around me. he pulled away ill see you tomorrow he said smiling.
