*Picture Of Tate*
Chapter 4
*Della's Point Of View*
"W-wa-wait, what," I stuttered on my words. "You're telling me that Kailey Ann is you're cousin, the one you'll be staying with?" I looked over at Tate and see him nodding his head.
"And you're telling me that you're Tate's cousin. And that he'll be staying with you?" I looked over at Kailey Ann.
"Yes. Didn't we just say that we're cousins like a second ago?" Kailey Ann snapped. I love Kailey Ann and all but she was sometimes rude and disrespectful, which were the things I hated about her.
"Hey! Don't snap at Dell." Tate told her.
"I'm just telling her that we already told her that we were cousins. Right Della?" I felt myself breathing harder and wasn't able to speak. I looked over at B since she was silent the whole time and I saw her chewing on her lip ring.
"I need some air." I finally say.
"I'll come with you." B, Tate, and Kailey Ann said in unison.
"I don't feel like talking to you guys at the moment," I motioned to Kailey Ann and Tate. "B, can you come with me?"
She nodded and got on her feet. "Joseph, do you want to join us?" He shook his head, still in. shock. "Okay, I'll see you around then." And together B and I left the cafeteria.
"How come Kailey Ann never told me? If she knew, she would have told me, yet I never told her about him. What was I supposed to do?" I asked B.
"I don't know Della. You have to ask both of them about it. Probably she was going to introduce us to him later on in the day." B suggested.
"I guess."
B and I walked down the hallway in silence. "Do you have a smoke?"
She nodded. "It's in my car. Let's go."
We headed towards the doors and walked out to the parking lot. I followed B to her Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. Two clicks and it was unlocked. B opened the seat compartment and took out a pack of Marlboro's. She opened the box and handed it over for me to take one. I pop it into my mouth and waited for a light.
"Do you have a light?"
She looked back into the compartment and shook her head. "No I thought you did."
"No. I keep everything in my locker. I could get it if you want."
"Don't. If you go in with a cigarette in your mouth, you'll been in a whole lot of trouble."
"True true."
We stood in the parking lot with a cigarette in our mouths waiting for a lighter. About another minute or two B saw a guy walking by.
"We could ask that guy if he has a lighter." B suggested.
"I don't know. What if he tells on us?"
"Haha! Della, don't you know me? If he tells on us then I'll make the rest of his high school year a living hell."
"You sound like you could be apart of Mean Girls." I laughed.
"Whatever," she mumbles as she cupped her hands over her mouth. "Hey you!" B hollered.
The guy stopped walking and turned our way, pointing at himself. "Me?" He yelled.
"Yeah, you." B shouted back.
Doing as he was told, he walked over to us. As he came closer I got my chance to 'observe' him. His hair was styled like Justin Bieber/Harry Styles, dark brown. He wore dark rimed framed glasses. Looking more like a nerd than someone who smokes.
I moved closer to B, removing the cigarette from my mouth. "Don't you think he looks more like a nerd than someone who smokes?" She didn't respond, only just shrugged.
"You called me over because...." He voice trailed off as his eyes spotted the cigarettes.
He reached into his back pocket and took out a lighter. "I'm guessing that you need this?"
"Well no shit. Can we borrow it?" B asked.
A smirk came upon his lips as he walked closer to B."And what do I get in return?"
Before I could even smoke the bell for fourth period rang. I let out a frustrating sigh and placed back my cigarette into the box.
"I'll take a light later, are you coming B?"
B's eyes were locked with the guys. "I'll meet you there. I have smoke."
"Okay, suit yourself." And with that I walked back inside.
I entered the classroom like I wasn't late at all. Mr. Freeman didn't really mind that I was coming in late and neither did the class. Guessing that we have a free period today. Sighing I made my way to my seat. When I at my seat Tate was sitting next to my seat on the right. My backpack slid off my shoulders and into my hands. I looked at him before sitting down.
"Where did you run off to? We still need to catch up on somethings." Tate says.
I rolled my eyes and replied saying, "Of course we do! We need to catch up on how you never told me about Kailey Ann being your cousin, and where/why you left in the first place?"
Tate's eyes enlarge and his mouth opened, almost like he was going to say something.
"Did I leave Tater Tots speechless?"
"Dell you're not letting me explain. I left because my dad got a new job in Ohio and so with that we had to move." The amount of times he stuttered as he was speaking is hilarious.
I let out a chuckle, "You know that you're a horrible liar."
He clenched his fists, making his knuckles turn white. "I'm not lying Dell, you're not listening to me."
Shrugging, I got up and changed my position so that my feet are on the desk. "Well I would have been listening to you if you told me the true." I said. "Why you left in the first place." I muttered.
"What do you say?" Tate asks.
"Nothing."
Things got silent between us when it was interrupted by the bell. Fourth period felt very short, especially for a lunch period. Gripping my backpack I head out when I felt someone's grip on my arm. I turned halfway to see Tate.
"Do you want to come over for dinner?"
"I don't know. Don't you have a date with that bitch?"
"No." He answered.
An eyebrow raised. "Did she say that she wanted to date you? So why aren't you going on a date with her tonight?" I asked confused.
"Because," his lips moved closer to my ear. "I already have a date with you." He moved away from my ear and winked. "I'll pick you up around seven." And he walked off into he crowd of people.
I stood there in shock. "Damnit Tate, why do you have to play with my feelings?" I asked myself.
But then my mind went blank. I was caught up with Tate at the moment that I totally forgot about her.
"Where the hell was Beyoncé?"
