delinquent

chapter eleven

"Yes dad! I got no time, i have to be out in a minute- BYE!"

I sang at the end so it wouldn't come off as rude, i've been avoiding my dad's phone calls since yesterday and he hasn't been home then. Guess luck is with me since Moe and I kissed.

"Whoopies bff, can't pick you up. My gf wanted to drive her to a coffee shop 🙄"
- Lucy

My other hand holding my phone while i struggle to get my old school vans on, my hair is half wet and i am all sweaty.

"FUCK!"

I grunted as i finally forced my feet in the shoes, guess my luck pick and choose.

A piece of pancake shoved stuck between my teeth, that i smeared extra butter on made it hard for me to open the door's knob.

My breathing catching up as i wiped my hand on the curtain, desperately on the curtain. Then twisted the knob freely, thought my day could get any better. Well it just did when in my surprise Moe is waiting at my door with a skateboard gripped on her right hand.

"hello..?"

Got too awkward, damn it.

"what are you doing here?"

I crossed my arms, acting like i am not guessing in my head that she wanted to act sweetly so she would take me to school.

"well...i would like to ask you to uhm.."

Her hand behind her back, her words is on the tip of her tongue and i might be right about her wanting to ask me if she would take me to school.

"Did you happen to have any tomatoes?"

she came to me for tomatoes? how delightful.

"T-tomatoes? well...i do have some."

"wait a second.."

I left the door opened for her while i get through the fridge and grab myself a couple tomatoes.

My thoughts are fighting whether to ask her to walk with me to school or just hand her over the tomatoes, my entire body jerked as i stumbled on someone's chest turning out to be Moe.

"here are your tomatoes, anything else hmm..?"

She stood there with both of her hands gripping the ziplock bag filled with 4 tomatoes.

"we're going to be late.."

I was expecting her to do something, but not something confusing cause she started walking towards me making me walk backwards till my back hit the counter top.

"do you..eat mexican food?"

I eyed on her tomatoes, now i get it.

"yeah?"

"good, come over to my house later."

She smiled at me as if she didn't made everything looked and sound odd to me, but whatever Moe does just seemed chill and care free.

"And we will be late in exactly 3 minutes."

I told her, so i took her hand and ran out the door. The moment i shut the door behind me, she threw her skateboard to the ground and asked me to hop on it.

"I told you i can't ride one, i might actually hit my head this time and die."

"who said i am letting you die, now go move your feet backwards for it to move."

Moe held both of my hands, then freely let's go the moment i felt balance. It started to not feel bad as i successfully strolled my feet to the ground maintaining my balance.

"You're doing good!"

Moe shouted at me as she catches up.

"okay.."

She was catching her breath the moment she reached me, both of us laughing as i took her skateboard and handed it to her.

"Dinner, later okay?"

Just a few minutes before we reach school, she held my hand and i felt like i was in a different world. My stomach filled with butterflies as she took smiled at me for one last time before parting ways.

Not gonna lie how i didn't want to let go of hers yet, the thought of Noah still hunting me. I didn't want us to get caught by anybody, especially Noah by himself.

Speaking of him, he just parked his car at the spot right where i was walking, he honked at me almost pissing myself right there.

"hey, watch it blondie..."

He laughed, he did it on purpose. But i wouldn't bother wasting my time entertaining him instead, i got into my locker to meet Lucy.

"Heeeyyyy...what's up with that smile looked way too wide for Heather Nill to be smiling like that in this normal sunny morning."

Lucy handed me over her biology notebook that i asked her last night.

"Am i? That's odd.."

I catch myself, i was smiling way too hard and i can't even hide it.

"something fishy fish is going on, but i will be on it."

"And tell Moe i am sorry for making her drive my car while i am passed out."

"And speaking of Moe..."

Lucy tilted her head looking behind me, i turned around to see Moe with a hoodie hanged on her right arm.

"My phone says the weather will be bad by afternoon, and you're wearing a tight shirt."

She's looking at me like i'd feel guilty if i don't take it, so i did. I smiled at her and mouthed thank you.

And she walked away like nothing.

"The fish has been caught."

Lucy said as winked at me with a smirk.

"Ooohhh...so what is this enemies to lovers?"

"Not exactly, we were friends just got into a complicated thing.."

I was staring at her hoodie, i smelled it and totally smelled like her.

"Okay lover girl, when are we throwing your coming out party?"

Lucy laughed as she slung her arm around my neck.

We both parted ways when the bell rang, i was in my bio, i took a seat right to where another stool is empty. But in my surprise, Noah sat beside me.

"why are you here?"

I moved a little bit far.

"I can sit right next to you?"

"i never said that i don't want you anymore,  that girl Moe just got brave enough and got lucky i didn't hit her back."

Moe's fist damaged his cheekbone, it's still prominent from the purple bruise it left.

"Good morning to you seniors, i would like to announce an important detail for our upcoming camp this weekend.."

"We will be having a buddy to watch each other, and good news! We decided to pair up opposite genders to make sure that atleast one girl has a boy pair for safety of course.."

The entire bio got boring, i felt like i didn't wanna go anymore but Lucy already had me signed up and i didn't wanna face my dad at home either. So whoever i go with then.

"Heather Nill and Noah Simos."

shit.
