Loving The Bad Boy

7

"Crazy things are happening nowadays...first my encounter with Chris at the party...then my nervous attitude when talking to  him and then my speechless words...I can't even say four words to him...I think I like him...of course,I do...I have a crush on him!" I said a little bit loud.

"Shhh...you...like Chris?"Maddy asked quietly

"I have a crush on him" I whispered.

"It's all the same...you like him then you have a crush on him"

"It's a long lasting crush"

"You say what now?"She asked.

"I've liked him since eighth grade... it's been a while"

"What in the world of humans...Chris...do you think he likes you back?"She asked and I replied"I don't know"

"Why don't you just ask him?"

"How can I just-"

"Hey"A voice said and Maddy smiled...please don't let it be who I think it is.

I slowly turned around and I saw Chris.

And then I felt nervous.

I tried to say something but I  ended up saying just three words

"Hi...bye"I said and I left.

"You forgot to lock your locker"Maddy called.

Not again.

I walked faster and then I felt at ease.

Why can't I just be myself...I mean...the day I saw him at the party...I had no trouble talking to him.

So what's wrong?

I don't know.

Oh God.

I can't say four words to Chris Tavern.

After biology,

"Lynn?"The teacher called after all everyone had disappeared.

I didn't bother to look back...I don't wanna be the...I don't know.

I slowly packed my books into my bags as I listened to the conversation.

"You failed your test, Lynn...if you're gonna keep failing my tests...then i'll have to report you to the principal...be the smart one for once...if you're gonna keep failing other teacher's tests...do you think you're really gonna get into college with your poor performance?Think, Lynn...think"The teacher said and left the class.

"Shit!"I heard him say as he walked out of the class.

I followed him."Hey"I said but he gave no response.

"It's not your-"

"Stay out of my business,bitch"He said and he walked away.

He...called me a bitch?

                                 ***
I watched him play basketball...he's good anyway but i'm still mad at him...he called me a bitch...I could start hating him because of that...if I want to.

Speaking of that...I actually need his help...but I can't walk up to him and pretend as if we're cool.

But I still need his help anyway...even though i'm still mad at him.

I got off my seat and I walked towards the field and then Lynn.

"I need your help,Lynn"I said.

"Do you realize that your in the middle of a field?"He said tossing the ball into the net.
