NOTED.

Where?

"HEY! Where do you think you're going? You know what you are a master manipulator. You come here, and think you're so much better than me, then trick my mind into thinking you'll do something to come in between me and Allen."

He scoffs at her as she catches up. "Yea no offense but you're not really his type." I'm so confused there's to much going on. I run a hand through my hair to calm me. I don't understand I thought we had something. "Wow your stumped. I've only known the smartest girl of the state a day and I've already confused her." He chuckles to himself

"Whatever." I look down upset I mean of course I'm not his type.
I'm actually kinda fat.

I'm to self assured to confident. I always tell myself I'm fine or even perfect cause I can't handle hearing anything else. To be honest I'm one pound away from depression. I feel dizzy am I being shook?

"Yo, earth to Bora?"

"Yea, what do you want?"

"Are you ok." He reaches over his finger swiping up a tear that had fallen. He gives a disgusted face. I can tell he knows something wrong, but of course I just look like a dumb crybaby I mean all I've shown of myself so far is me being a hypocrite, a narcissist, way to confident, mean and all because I was slightly challenged. This isn't me and I know it. I take a deep breath in and look at him.

"I'm fine." I give him a weak smile and keep walking. "So where do you live?"

"Live? No I work at a pet store by here. Plus I would never tell you where I live."

"Scared I'll seduce your mom?" He gets quiet and give and gives a weak smirk.

"Funny."

I quietly changed subject guessing there's something there that he doesn't wanna discuss with a girl he just met. "You work at LovePets?"

"Yea." 30 minutes of silent walking. I keep zoning out trying to think of what book to read. I guess my brain went on some bad autopilot cause I kept bumping into Ivan. He puts his hand out. So I only bump into his hand not touching his arm no more. I notice but don't say anything. Out of nowhere he pushes me.

"Hey! Why'd you do that?" I ask curious and slightly annoyed as I fix my backpack.

"I-I uh don't know." He rolls his eyes and looks away. We finally reach his work and I follow him in. "Is this your weird way of flirting. I don't want you thinking we're friends or anything just cause' I told you bout' Allen."

"Like I would wanna be friends with you." I just want you to know that I know where you work."

"Sure. Cause you're totally not in love with me." He goes to the back and takes of his shirt to change into his work one. I turned away and look around the store so I don't have to see that. I did turn back around a bit too early and he notices. "You're just drawn to me aren't ya'."

"Why are you being weird all of a sudden."

"I'm trying to scare you off but you're still lingering. The sooner you're out the sooner I can get rid of this horrible aura you track with you." He says getting a febreeze from under the desk and spraying the air as he messes with the checkout machine in the front. I cough and get my stuff.

"Fine whatever, I have to go study anyway." I say slinging my back pack over my shoulder.

"Have fun." He says sarcastically as I walk out. I get home and check the whole house. Good. No one's home. I head up to my room and start to study for math. After a good hour I decide to take a shower. My hair wet in a bun and some cozy pajamas had me feeling better, I felt like myself again and planned to stay that way. I got a call as I was making a snack.
