Too Close?

Chapter Three

Too Close?

For two whole years now, I had been with some people in class. So when my class found out that I was changing schools they were all shocked about it. I find out because one of the guys in my class told me that I should not change school. The only peoples that I told were Alejandro, Phoene, and Gabriela.

I knew for a fact that it wasn't Phoene or Alejandro that told everyone. So before school started, I was at my locker when Gabriela came in the hallway. I was going to find out if it was her.

"Gabriela! How have you been?"

"Good?! Why?"

"I can't ask you how have you've been?" I was acting weird and we both knew it.

"Yeah! Yeah?"

"Are you sure? Because you don't sound like it."

"I'm sure!"

"Before you leave," And my tone of voice completely changed when I said, "Why did you tell everyone that I was changing schools next year?"

I was totally fishing for information!!

"I knew there was something."

I just smiled at her when Gabriela said, "Why are you blaming me?"

"I'm not blaming you. I'm accusing you and stop lying."

"Okay! I'm lying."

We started to walk to our English class together and on the way Gabriela said that she didn't finish her homework.

"You're so going to get it trouble."

"But it's hard!"

"No, it wasn't you just don't try."

"Whatever! And you know that it could have been Alejandro."

"No, and he at least doesn't have a big mouth."

And we went into class.

...

After English, it was lunch so I and my friend Phoene went out to eat. At Subway, we ordered our food and went to go sit down at a table.

We were talking about our science exam that we were going to have after lunch. When all of a sudden she mentioned Alejandro. If I'm not thinking about him his there or someone else mentions him.

"I heard that Jess isn't really dating Alejandro. They are apparently just fooling around with each other."

"And what does that have to do with the fact that I don't know any of the names of the male reproductive organs?"

"Nothing I'm just keeping you informed."

"Why should I care about his ex-girlfriend? What his relationship status isn't my problem. So why are you bringing this up?"

"But I thought that you would like to know."

"Phoene I don't care. I realized that I was spending too much time on a boy that doesn't even know that I liked him for two years and I really need to focus on school this year."

"Oh my god I thought that you would never get over him."

"Well I'm over Alejandro and I'm glad about it."

If only what I was saying was the truth then I could really be glad. For the rest of lunch, me and Phoene didn't even talk about Alejandro. I was happy that she did not mention him.

...

I was in the library after school studying. I was studying for a very hard math test that I was going to have the next day.

I was trying to understand one of the problems that was going to be in the test when Alejandro sat down next to me. I know that it was him because his perfume is so strong that you smell it before you see him. I just turned my head and looked at him looking at me.

So I said,"What do you want?"

"So... now I can't come I the library?"

"Well, I hope you don't 'come' to the library," I whispered it so that he wouldn't hear my dirty comment.

"What did you say?"

"I just said that you can't answer a question with a question."

I could tell that he didn't believe me but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he said,"So what are you doing?"

I looked at Alejandro like he was dumb because what he said was dumb.

I had books all around the table, a math problem in front of me and the fact that we were in the same class made me look at him like he was dumb. To be honest his question was ridiculous so I told him that.

"What kind of stupid question is that?!"

"Didn't you just say that I can't answer a question with a question?"

"Oh my god! Stop with the answering with questions!"

"Ok, but answer my question."

"Which one?"

"The one that tells me why your here."

"I'm obviously studying for the test that's tomorrow."

"There's a test tomorrow?"

"I just said that. Why are you making me repeat everything?"

"Shit!"

"What?"

"I forgot that there was a test. Shit!"

"It's 4:45 now and we have until 6:30 before the school library closes so do you when to study with me."

"I honestly don't understand you one minute your pretty nice with me and the next minute your a complete witch. I don't get if you like or hate me."

"I'll tell you one thing. I could never hate you no matter what." And it was true.

"You're saying that now."

And after that, we started to study. Alejandro was being a little too touchy. Like I was going him a pen and my hand was at the end of it and he somehow ended up touching mine

Alejandro put his hand on my thigh.

When we were leaving I had convinced myself that he just was like that because he was happy that I was helping him. When two weeks past and that he was just getting even more touchy. It got to the point that my teacher even made a joke about it.

After Alejandro touch me for the fiftieth time in class. My teacher got sick of it so he said to the whole class. "Alejandro if you keep touching her she is going to get cooties." Everyone laughed except me.

So a week passed since my teacher made the joke. We were in the hallway when he came up to me and gave me a hug.

After Alejandro was done I ask him if he was okay and he said that he was fine so I let it go.

They are all being delusional.
