The Truth About Us

7. Screw you atoms

I decided i'm going to keep my updates shorter so that i can update faster. Hope you like!!

I groaned loudly into my folded arms for the millionth time. Blake sure put the late in fashionably late. I lifted my head from my folded arms on the desk to check the time.

Great he was officially half an hour late for our tutoring session. I picked up my bag and shoved my textbook angrily into it. Screw you atoms, I don't need your positive energy. I wasn't going to wait around on my ass for him to turn up. This was the second time he was late to one of our meetings.

I swung my legs over to the other side of the bench and prepared to stand up before I saw Blake walking towards me looking bored.

"Where do you think you're going so fast? The glory of matter and particles awaits us!" Blake exclaimed, his bored expression replaced with an excited one as he spotted my chemistry textbook.

Seriously? This guy got excited by chemistry?! I barely had time to raise an eyebrow condescendingly before he yanked my textbook out of my bag and flipped through it lovingly.

"Alright we'll start with the basics. From what I saw from your papers you haven't even got those down pat."

He tore his gaze from the pages of doom before looking around the library contemplatively. "You know what... this won't do" he concluded. "Libraries just make chemistry seem boring."

Chemistry is boring. I refrained from expressing my opinion out loud. I wasn't sure he'd be too happy with me.

He leaned over and picked up my bag, swinging it over his shoulder. "Come on let's go somewhere else. Chemistry should be learned in a fun environment not a stuffy library" he exclaimed before bouncing towards the exit. Yes, I repeat, bouncing. I did not understand this boy's love for the subject that I consider pure evil.

I groaned before following him grudgingly. I guess love knows no bounds.

"What are we doing here?"

Blake had parked us outside Jimmy's Fries and Pies and was preparing to get out.

He turned and looked at me incredulously. "Getting Jimmy's curly fries of course! There's no such thing as a good study session without Jimmy's curly fries" he answered. He tapped his head knowingly as if it was just basic common sense.

"I'll be back in a bit. Keep your ass here while I'm gone" he said, winking before getting out of the car and slamming the door.

While he was gone I fiddled with the radio putting on some Bon Iver and relaxing into the leather seats. He had a damn nice car.

He returned five minutes later, passing me a large greasy paper package and a cup holder with two chocolate milkshakes in it.

The car smelt damn amazing and my stomach growled loudly as I inhaled the scent of fresh curly fries. I started to open the package before Blake slapped my hands away. "Uh uh. Patience young grasshopper" he reprimanded.

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help smiling. He was being kinda cute I had to admit. I may not like him much but hey, he bought me food. That brought you up several points in my book.

"By the way you owe me 3.50 now, I'm not paying for you as well." He smirked in my direction.

Scratch that. I revoke my previous statement. He's still an asshole.

We drove for a while in comfortable silence before he pulled up outside the entrance to the local park.

Grabbing my bag and books he got out of the car and walked away, leaving me to struggle after him juggling the food. We walked for about five minutes, me sadly struggling while he strolled casually along, even deciding to whistle maddeningly.
