To This New Year (C)

In Your Face

After that I slept through the remaining class until last class, where I had David again. We sat next to each other and texted through the class until the bell rung. He ran around the desk and then picked me up and carried me all the way to my locker. "Oh my lord, how much do you weigh child?" He said laughing but apparently regretted what he said. "I'm so sorry that's not what I meant!" He said and hugged me hiding his worried face. "No worries, I weigh 107 pounds though, I,m trying for 100 ." I said and smiled while closing my locker. "You are so light, I must be a wimp then. I'm truly sorry for saying that, you're really skinny." He said again."I already said its fine. Are you gonna open your locker?" I said and he did. "Hey babe." Jason said from behind. "Hola pendejo," I said back to him knowing he wouldn't understand. "Yeah, um, do you want a ride home?" He said and grabbed my hand urging me to walk. "Nope, I told you I have a project after school remember?" I said laughing. "Oh yeah. Okay I'll see you tomorrow then." He said smirking and walking back to his group of friends. David turned around, his eyes were red though. "Um, David, are you okay?" I asked. He just smiled and hugged me, "Lets go." Was all he said before we were walking home. He didn't say a word till we got to his house. When we got to his house, he opened the door for me and said Hi to Isobel. She didn't look up but said "Hey darl- OH! Hey there Jackie, how are you dear? Would you like something to eat?" She said, I just laughed and shook my head. "Not hungry but thanks Isobel." Its still weird calling her Isobel, but I guess she's like one of my only friends, its nice I know I can depend on her if I need it. "Yeah, we have a project to work on, so we'll just head up to my room." He said and nodded at me to follow him. I waved back to Isobel and she smiled going back to whatever she was doing. As we walked, I saw that David had a huge house compared to mine. There were pictures of him and Isobel everywhere, some had other girls in them, which I assume were his girlfriends, but in all his pictures, he didn't look as happy as he does now. I wonder what's made him so happy. "Stop," He said putting his hand in my face and smiling. "Stop what?" I asked, "You, stay here." He said and walked away. I kept looking at all the pictures. He came out of the room and told me to come in. "I just had to put some stuff away. Come in, here is my room." He said looking at me for a reaction, when I had none. "Okay," I laughed. "What are you looking at dork?" I asked him poking his nose. "A troll," he responded tackling me and tickling my sides."D-David stooop." I accidentally hit my head on the wall and screamed and Isobel yelled "No way!" she pounded on the door, "Not in my house guys!" Isobel yelled. I covered my mouth and ran to open the door so Isobel wouldn't have the wrong idea, which she obviously did. "Isobel, no, that's not what was happening, he was tickling me, I swear." She rose her eyebrow and looked at David who was just sitting on the bed smiling and slowly waving at her. "Oh, okay." she said shaking her head laughing at herself and walking off.
