Mr Reeves (keanu reeves)

18

I swallowed the big gulp in my throat. "And whatever it is that you're hiding, it's making me feel distant from you. Nowadays, I can't even have a conversation with you or eat with you during lunch. You're always disappearing. I just miss the days when you shared everything with me. We were like each other's secret diaries. We could share our deepest darkest secrets with each other" Lina said; her voice almost cracking. I let out a sigh. We both sat in silence. "Earlier on, I was having lunch with Mr Reeves" I replied hesitantly. Before I could add on, Lina was banging on my cubicle door. "Bitch let me in right now!!!" she yelled. "OKOK" I replied and quickly unlocked the bolt. She pushed her way into my cubicle and locked the door behind us. "WITH MR REEVES?!" She yelled with wide eyes.

 "SSHHH do you want the whole world to find out?!" I whispered and covered her mouth. We stared at each other for a moment and broke out into laughter. Tears almost welled up in my eyes. I truly did miss Lina. Lina slowly placed her hand on my shoulder. "You have so much to tell me. Your place?" She asked.  I nodded my head eagerly. She unlocked the toilet door and we fled out of the washroom and ran down the hallways together. I caught a glimpse of Aaron near his locker and I quickly flashed a smile at him. He smiled back.

Lina and I held hands and ran back to my place. I unlocked the front door and we rushed to my bedroom. I locked the bedroom door and jumped onto my bed. Lina laid next to me on the bed. We both stared at the ceiling for a minute. I let out a big sigh. This was it. I was going to tell her everything. "Ok remember the night we went to Chase's party? I got drunk. Guess who brought me home...? Mr Reeves! He brought me to his place and he cooked for me and even drove me home. And then we had lunch together today. And he wants to have lunch together again..." I said and turned my head to face Lina. She was staring at me and blinking slowly; almost as if she was processing whatever I just told her. She pressed her lips together. "Wow..." she replied. I sighed. "I know. It's confusing. It's been eating me alive!" I replied rolling my eyes. 

"Well one thing's clear. He's not treating you like his other students, that's for sure. But what if we're reading too much into his actions? What if he's just being nice?" Lina asked with a raised eyebrow. She too was as confused as me. "Exactly! I don't understand what exactly is going on between me and Mr Reeves..." I replied. We both stayed silent for a while. "Wow all this had happened, and you didn't utter a word to me!" Lina said. "I'm sorry Lina. I was just confused and lost" I replied. "Like a sheep in love!" Lina replied with a teasing smile. "What! NO!" I yelled. She raised one eyebrow with a smirk. "FINE! Like a sheep in love!" I replied, rolling my eyes. It felt good to let it all out to Lina. I was glad to know I wasn't the only one who was confused. 

"You said you're having lunch with him again right?" Lina asked. "Yes..." I replied. It was clear by the way Lina's face lit up, that she had an idea. "Well tell him you can't have lunch with him," Lina said casually. "What! Why?" I asked, turning to look at her with a shocked expression on my face. It was absurd. Why would I ever reject the idea of having lunch with Mr Reeves? "Hear me out okay? Some risks have to be made. Maybe he's ignoring the giant panda in the room.  Maybe he doesn't realize that he's treating you differently compared to his other students. He isn't fully aware that the time you two are spending together could mean something else. And he'll only realize it when he loses you..." Lina said, looking at me intensely. "Ok, I kinda get what you're trying to say. So I show him what he's missing out on. I have to make him realize that maybe...just maybe he could like me differently?" I asked. "YES. That's it! Make him miss you," Lina replied. I slowly nodded, trying to process everything. "Ok got it. I'm going to play hard to get!" I replied excitedly. "Ok, now can we go get some food?" Lina pouted. "My mom made lasagna!" I replied. 

Lina and I jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs to the kitchen. To my surprise, Josh was there; my sisters' fiance. "Hi Josh," me and lina said in sync. "Hi, girls. Are you two staying out of trouble?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Lina and I looked at each other with wide eyes. "We sure are!" Lina replied with a fake smile. Lina sat across Laura and Josh at the dinner table. I quickly fixed up a plate of lasagna for me and Lina and soon joined them at the dinner table. "Wheres Mom?" I asked Laura as I gobbled down the lasagna. "She's out with Aunt Jenna" Laura replied. All four of us ate in silence before Josh broke it. "You girls attend westview high right?" Josh asked. "Yes..." me and laura replied. "Well, do you know any keanu reeves? He's my best buddy. He's also going to be my groomsman for the wedding. Just wondering if you knew him since he transferred there not long ago!" Josh said. I choked on my lasagna. WHAT? BEST BUDDY? GROOMS MEN? Lina choked on her drink. I turned to face her with wide eyes. She shook her head, signaling me to stay calm. She turned to face Josh. "Actually, we haven't heard of him before..." Lina casually lied. 

"Oh Ok then. Guess he's not so popular at westview!" Josh replied.
