SWEET - Part Three

Sweet Part 3

I’m laying in my bed, unmoving, staring at the ceiling. I haven't slept at all and count down the seven seconds before my alarm starts blaring. I shut it off wondering if other people are this weird. Probably. Shower, get dressed and then... sit on my bed. I'm trying really hard not to think about her. But trying not to think about her actually makes me think about her more. I grab my skull and groan in frustration just when Marc enters. He gives me a look as I fall back into the bed.

“Hey, dipshit.” He says adjusting his boxers. I make a pained expression but don’t say anything. “Dads not home so get up, school in 10 minutes.” When I don’t respond he just stands there.

“Okay.” I say.

He looks like he wants to ask me what happened yesterday. But instead he says, “If you miss the bus I'm not driving you.”

“Whatever.” I don’t move even though I know Marc is right. You cant blame me for not wanting to go, I'm in no hurry to see Nika. I curse them both as I run down the stairs 15 minutes later. I've missed the bus so I have to wait for the next one. The suns just rising, schools way to early. I sigh taking out my phone. I have a couple texts from Ally, I want to tell her about last night. Shouldn’t you be able to tell your best friend everything. I put my phone away hating myself for keeping things from her

When I get to school the halls are empty I take my time getting to chem. Seeing Nika is the last thing I want to do. Its not like shes going to out me to the entire school. I stop, she would out me. Okay, calm down. I take a deep breath entering the class. The first person I see is her. She ignores me completely. I don’t know which would have hurt more, being outed or ignored. She tenses like shes trying not to look at me. Whatever, I sit down. She's probably going through some weird experimental phase, not to mention she was drunk. I don’t know what I was expecting. The teacher starts saying something about an in class lab. I look over at Jessie and we smile at each other, wanting to be partners.

“Nika and Saint.”

“What??” I blurt out as Mrs. Z says our names.

“As I was saying, Saint, some people find it hard to work when they choose their own partners.” She looks pointedly at Nika and Heather. “So I'm assigning partners.”

I look over at Nika and out eyes meet for one shit awkward second. She gets up and moves to sit next to me. We sit in silence without looking at each other while Mrs. Z finishes assigning partners. Suddenly Nika turns to me.

“Look.. about yesterday.”She stutters and I realize shes just as nervous as me. She always seems so in control, I've never seen her so uneasy. She runs her hands through her long brown hair before shes interrupted by Mrs. Z. I turn around trying to focus on how to correctly use a Bunsen Burner but Nika's staring at me. Suddenly she leans in and puts her hand on my thigh. I look at her with the biggest WTF look on my face.

“You know,” she whispers into my ear, “you never got around to tutoring me.” I bet my face is priceless. I bet my face is fucking priceless staring at her cocky grin. Is she trying to flirt with me? The vulnerable girl I saw seconds ago is replaced with the arrogant Nika I know.

“And whose fault is that?” I whisper back to an indifferent Nika. I can tell she likes my reaction to her attitude. I wish I didn’t give her the satisfaction.

“Yours.” She whispers back.

“What!?” I say a little too loudly and get a glare from the teacher. Nika takes her hand from my thigh but continues whispering.

“Its your fault for being so hot,” she says tracing my t-shirt across my side. “I got distracted.” Its insane the way she says it, biting her lip so innocently at the last word. I open my mouth only to shut it close again. “Admit it you're into me.”
