GRAY AND PINK

GRAY 28

"What?" She asked, cluelessly.

Instead of explaining on to her, I reached for her hands and make her stood up. As she follows my so-called instruction, I draw a smile on my face, telling her that I will be on her side no matter what happens and I wished she knew what I mean.

Then she also smiled. Wait. Did she smiled because she got the meaning? OR did she smiled because I smiled? We looked at each other's eyes again and my heart keeps beating? I guess, of course it beats. And the heart beats sixty to one hundrerd times normally in one minute but this time, I think it beats twice or thrice faster. I just thought this time that she will not hear it and will get distracted by some athletes yelling on the oval.

"So where will you take me?" She asked, smiling. God! Can you please stop smiling? You're making me crazy.

"You'll see." Still holding her hands and we escaped the stadium.

"Drake, this is . .. ," she uttered, swallowing her burger bite, " . . . so nice," finishing her sentence.

"This is the best burger stand in Alcott."

"Really?"

"Yeah," and she took another bite again.

"Well, I think I'd like to eat this burger every meal."

And I burst out laughing.

"Seriously?" I managed to say, between my laughs.

"Why?"

"Because too much calories will brought you to your grave, Margaux."

"So? What's funny? Is it something to laugh when I'll die?"

"Huh? What? What are you talking about?"

Her face became disappointed, maybe. "I never thought you're like that Drake."

"Wait, you don't understand, that's not what I mean."

"I understand it Drake." Then by that, she walked away, bringing her burger and leaving me alone.

I decided to go home instead. 

Did I do something that could disappoint her? Or did I said something that offended her? Is it bad to laugh at her statement earlier?

The-"Well, I think I'd like to eat this burger every meal."-line sounds really funny to me. I mean, how on earth she doesn't knew that the calories that a one hamburger contains.

If gilrs are mad, they're just really mad. I guess, I'll just wait on when she will gonna talk to me again. 

I don't know if I was daydreaming or this is the result of ovethinking what happened earlier -- Margaux was outside our house, waving and smiling at me. Before I reached the door, Jade shouted.

"Drake's girlfriend is outside our house," then everyone rushed in the living room and sneaked Margaux.

What the heck!
