Science of Owls

Wrong bathroom

Chapter 10

The week went on.

As if nothing had changed, but I felt awkward and terrible inside whenever I talk to him.

I noticed how he looked at her in class, slight glances. Nothing big... or nothing that I didn't notice before.

I was watching him from across the room, watching how he was focused on his laptop and his well-timed peeks at her.

He looked up from his glancing and laptop, to give me a confused look.

I snapped out of my trance. Smiled at him and continued on my pondering ... while looking at my computer ... so not to looks suspicious.

The bell rang and we began to file out of the door way, each grabbing the door on our way out. I guess I was watching too closely, he held the door for her. He held it wide open and let her go through...

Bloody gentlemen.

Connie and Eve were growing grandly more distant. I stopped listening to their woes and cheers at lunch. In class they seemed to talk more to one another than too me.

Until one day they confronted me.

" Hey Nazz, are you ok...?" asked Eve, her big green eyes scanning my emotions.

"define ok ?" I asked sulkily. All week I had been drawing and pondering, and repeating the process.

" well that's the feeling you get when your generally satisfied in everything ... and yeah .." she trailed off into her own thoughts.

" anything bugging you , you've been distant and sad for like 3 days straight.... Was it NOODLE?" asked Connie, leaning into me ... making me feel obviously uncomfortable.

" urgh... no , go away" I pushed her of me. " Noodle hasn't done anything" I lied.

I could feel my cheeks burning... it was my give away for lying.

" are you sure?" said Eve, her eyebrows raised.

"Yes!" I lied , my cheeks burning brighter, if that was possible.

" mmm" murmured Connie and Eve in unison.

" anything , anything at all bothering you ?" asked Eve.

" you can tell us, we won't laugh" smiled Connie.

" you laughed when I came out of the guys toilets at Hungry Jacks..." I trailed off reminiscing.

They both broke out into hysterical laughter and began rolling around on the ground.

" it's not that funny" I said , choking back laughter. " You guys are definitely girls right?"

" haha what , yeah haha" they said.

" and you've... erm liked people before?" I asked vaguely , trying not to look at them directly.

Their bodies turned sharply towards me .

" wait..." said Connie.

" just a minute!" Eve finished of her sentence.

" shit..."

" WHO?" they attempted tackling me, I immediately regret asking that.

And for the next week I was harassed.

24/7 , all night ,all day.
