"I don't even like him"

Chapter 6

I waited for Miguel outside of school. To tell him that I'd be waiting for him at five. To go to my house.

I was getting tired of waiting for him. But we need to get started with the project. I then started scrolling through TikTok.
I heard laughing behind me. And say Miguel and his friends. I awkwardly stood there waiting for him to see me so he can come over to me.

He then saw me and said goodbye to his friends. Mason saw me and smiled and waved at me. I did the same.

Miguel walked over to me.

"Hey so what time should I come over your place?" Miguel asked while we walked.
"Uh at five is okay." I said while rubbing my eyes.
" oh okay perfect.. won't be late." He said with a chuckle.

We then walked in silence.
"Hey um- did I do something? I mean you look pretty serious and I just thought you got annoyed by me." He finished.
I was overthinking about what I saw earlier. But that wasn't why I was quiet I was just tried.

" no, no of course not. I'm just really tried that's all." I said with a laugh. But Miguel stayed quiet.

"Oh well, we can start the project tomorrow or some other day so you can rest-

"No it's okay today's perfect and plus I promised you I'd make you dinner." I said giving him a smile.

Miguel looked at me and smiled.
We were standing outside my house.
"So, see you in a bit." He said with a wink.
I blushed and looked down.
"Yeah, see ya bye." I said while walking in my house.

It was 4:55 I started making some snacks for me and Miguel. I heard the door ring. I opened the door and I saw Miguel. His back was facing me. He was petting our pet cat. " hi kitty kitty." He said in a high pitched tone.

I held in my laugh. Miguel heard me giggling and turned around. He looked terrified when he saw me.

" you scared me.. I didn't realize you opened the door."he said. Now facing me. He scratched his arm nervously.
I noticed he looked a little nervous. He had put his hair in a bun. He had a green shirt on.
He also smelled like cologne.

"Come on come in." I said smiling and softly grabbing his hand.

We walked in the kitchen."my dad isn't home yet and my little sister is at her friends house. I said while grabbing a glass of water for him.
I handed him the water and he smiled as a thank you.

"Your mom?"

He asked while drinking his water. "I think she's.. I looked around. "She's in our backyard, you know she's obsessed with her plants." I said with a chuckle. Miguel smiled.

"My mom is the same she's spends more time with her plants then with me." He said laughing softly.

We both laughed and just looked at each other.
I looked away. And he looked down smiling.

"Uh so do you want a snack before we start with the project?" I asked looking through the cabinets.
"Uh yeah sure. Please." He said. I pulled out the peanut butter jar. "You like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" I asked grinning at him. knowing he loves them.

His smile grew wider. "yes of course." He said.

We started making them. He put the jelly. And me the peanut butter.
