Chapter 4~ Sudden Boost Of Confidence

Chapter 4~ Sudden boost of Confidence

"So wait he just came up to you and was like lets hang out?"

"Basically"

Im sitting in the lunchroom with Allison telling her what just happen last period.

" No way! I told you he was cool."

"That doesn't make things better. I'm still a target Ally."

"That's why this could be good for you! James can get the meat heads off your back for good,and you won't have to go around ducking every corner after every time one of them walks by."

"I don't duck from them."

"Sure whatever floats your boat. He's mad cute. I think you should give him a chance."

"Who's mad cute?" We both look over to see Brandon sitting down joining our conversation.

"Sam's new boo thang."

"He's not my boo thang."

"Wait wait a boo what?"

"A boo thang Brandon."

"In all my years of my being your twin I've never heard you say that."

"That's because you never listen to me. "

"That is a fact." He says while picking up his pizza to take a bite. I notice he has fries and I try to reach over to take some, but he swats my hand away.

"Ow! Come on just one."

The looks at me for awhile but gave in once I reminded him of who was paying for his new game today.

"Fine. Take them all."

"Yes! Love you."

"Yeah yeah."

"Okay guys what am I going to do about this guy?"

"What guy?"

"The new one. Jeez. Keep up." Ally tells her brother while stealing one of my fries.

"What about him?"

"He likes Sam."

"I can believe it."

"How so?"

"I was in the gym during my free period-"

"Wait so your telling me you weren't in the library making goggly eyes at Amy while she worked?"

"What can I say I like to change it up a bit. Can I continue now."

"Yeah yeah go go. Ally shut up."

"Okay okay." Allison says while putting her hand up in defense.

"Like I was saying I was in the gym playing basketball and he walked into the middle of a game, so we decided to let him play. While we were playing he kept asking me all the weird questions about you."

"About me?"

"Yeah. Weird stuff. Like what's your favorite food and like your favorite color. I guess it's not weird, but that's not something you ask me."

"Nah nah that's weird. That's super weird." Allison says while pointing her finger in the air discretely taking my fries.

"What do you thinks he wants."

"Maybe he just wants to get to know you."

"Brandon how gullible can you be. It's obvious what he wants."

"And what is that?"

"You know." She says as she starts making sexual hand gestures.

"Okay! Guys lets not go to the extreme right now okay. I'm pretty sure no one wants to fuck me."

"You'll be surprised." Brandon mumbles while chewing on a carrot.

"Dude. Not helping."

"I'm just saying."

"Sam calm down I was just kidding. Maybe Brandon is right. Maybe he just wants to get to know you."

"And I should let him?"

"Yeah I don't see why not."

"I don't care what you do as long as it doesn't keep me from getting this game today."

"This is a life or death situation for her and all you can think about is that stupid game."

"It's not a life of death situation. It's either she dates him or not. Simple as that."

"Boys and their little minds."

"Whatever. You two figure this out. I'm gonna go. See you after school"

He grabs his things and walks away.

"He's always leaving. I think-"

"I'm gonna do it."

"Do what?"

"I'm gonna talk to him."

"Really? No way! I didn't think you would even think about talking him. Wow."

I don't what even made me say that I would talk to him, but something deep down just said talk to him. And it wasn't Ally. I think I just find it interesting to see him trying to find out things about me. But it was kind of weird, the things he wanted to know. And he asked Brandon out of all people. Well he is one of the only people I talk to so I guess that was smart. If he's willing to hold a conversation with Brandon maybe he's a nice guy.

"After school."

I guess you can say I have a sudden boost of confidence that I have no idea where it came from. Not giving a shit about what others think especially my brother. I'm gonna talk to this 'James' and...well I'm not sure what I'm gonna say, but I'm pretty sure he has a lot to say to me.

"We're going to the game store after school today remember?"

"Oh yeah shoot. Okay well tomorrow during my free period then."

The bell rings signaling that our lunch period is over. I tell Allison goodbye and we part our ways.

I internally sigh as I make my way to my next class. I hate school. But who doesn't. This is gonna be a long day.

Yo! So it's been awhile I know. I'm sorry for that. I know that this chapter is sort of a floppy one, but the next one will be better I promise. At least I hope it will. I really want to get to the main action, but if I do you won't really get to know the characters like I want you to, so I'm going to take it slow, but not too slow. I hope that makes sense. Pleaseeee share my book if you like it.

K....byeeeeee
