Love Story #Take 1

Chapter 7

It's a brand new day today. But I know I have greater problems ahead of me. Kevin. Yes, that one. All of a sudden, my life feels like a tornado just passed through it. But I can deal with the damages. At least I think I can.
The one thing that has been running through my mind since last night was how much taller I was than him. I really hope it's not that significant.

I walk into my class and go straight to my locker to pick up my books for math class. Then I notice that my note isn't there. Brian. He didn't return it. Well now I have to go meet him for it. Sod that!

"Hey Brian" I flash a weak smile at him "you still got my note right?"
"Oh yea! So sorry I didn't return it in time. " I nod like it's no problem but in reality, I really hate when people do shit like this.
He calls me back as I begin to walk away. "Yea?" I reply.
"Come over. I wanna ask you something." Huh. I wonder what that is. I walk over either ways. "So are you gonna say yes to Kevin or not?" I refuse the urge to let out a loud grunt. I just try to smile. A little bit. "Umm... I think I am I don't know really." He flashes me a full grin. "Well alright then. That's good. You bette hurry though. You'll soon give him a heart attack with all the waiting." He winks at me and smiles. I am so confused right now. I never even knew Kevin and Brian were friends. Oh well.

Well today went by faster than I had expected. I tried my best to avoid talking to Kevin. But his friends kept on confronting me to ask why I hadn't replied him yet. I had even cooked up a constant answer I would give anyone that asked me "I'm gonna say yes. I just haven't seen him today." It seemed to work for everyone. Everyone except Jason that is.

"Hey Carla. When are you gonna reply Kevin. Huh?"

"I'm gonna say yes. I just haven't seen him today."

"Oh alright then. If that's the problem, then we can go to his class right now. I think he has a free period. Lemme go check. I wanna be there when you say it so I can make a scene for you. Don't go anywhere."

He winks at me and jogs to Kevin's class. What's with everyone and the winking today?? Anyways, I have to find a way to get away... and fast too. I do the first thing that comes into my head. I run. As fast as I can, which according to my calculations, is a jog for a regular person. I am able to get away either ways. I try to avoid every boy through out the day, to reduce the increasing risk of being questioned over and over again. Damn you Kevin McConner damn you.

-------------------------------------------------------

I really don't feel like reading tonight. Everyone else has the SAT's tomorrow. I just feel like walking up to them and making them feel horrible as shit. Muahahah. Okay, that's a bit too evil. But it feels really good to not have anything to study for for the first time in a while. Luckily, neither do my friends but I know Kevin does (Don't ask me how I know that). So I guess we'd just sit around and talk through out study time today. I walk over to my regular sitting position when I notice that there's a chair beside mine. Oh no. No, no, no. I really hope it's not who I think it its that's coming over. Who am I kidding. I know it's Kevin. I should've known from all the smirks Charlotte and Natasha were throwing my way. So much for girls night today. I'm pretty bummed. I wish I could just tell him to go away. But I'll regret it eventually for the rest of my life. I put on a 'so not angry that you're here right now, even though I want to be with my friends' face as he comes over.

"Hey" I say. "I wasn't really expecting company tonight. Don't you like have SAT's to read for tonight?"

Was that too blunt. I don't really care.

"Yes I have the SAT's tomorrow, but I thought, what better why to study than with my lucky charm?"

Lucky what-did-he-just-say?? I feel the heat rising to my cheeks. I'm about to stand up to walk around and get some air when he pulls me back to my seat.

"I'm not about to let you run off again. I didn't quite like the outcome the last time you did that."

I can tell that he's talking about Britney but I don't really feel like asking.

"Okay so can you tell me the actual reason why you're here, cuz you need to read, and as you saw from the last time you did this, I'm pretty horrible with this stuff."

"I already told you why I'm here. I just want to spend time with you"

"Okay sure, but you need to read and I have no intention of doing that. So I honestly suggest that you leave."

He laughs a bit. Now I know that there's no going anywhere with him, I shut up and get on with the book I was reading. But I'm not really one to read books, so I zone out in less than ten minutes. I put my head down on the table.

"Now she sleeps on me. Never knew I was this boring really." He scoffs and pats me on the head.

"Hey! What the hell??" I look up at him with eyes blazing with anger. Fake anger actually.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to wake the sleeping beauty up." He smirks at me.

Please God can this night hurry up and end already??

I'm able to get through two hours sitting beside dum-dum. Eventually. I noticed at some point that Jason entered class to ask Kevin if I had answered yet. It almost slipped my mind. I really wonder when and how I'm gonna do that without causing a scene. I wonder why all this is a big deal all of a sudden. He's packing up his books now. I'm so glad it's over. I'm doing a happy dance in my head.

"I'll be back for you. So don't run away this time."

What did he just say? He just killed my happy dance. Nobody kills my happy dance. Not even Charlotte. But I wait either ways. I whisper an 'I'm sorry to Charlotte as I watch her, Natasha and Tiffany leave without me. Kevin is back in another minute.

"What took you so long?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you missed me that much."

I punch his side and smile a little.

Then the awkward silence kicks in. I'm wracking my brain thinking of all the possible conversation starters, but everything that comes into my head is either too nerdy or something I would only say to my friends.

"So were you able to read anything for your exam tomorrow?" I say finally after much deliberation with myself.

"No not really . But don't worry it wasn't your fault. I'll do fine. I'm sure of that."

"Alright then, I wasn't even that bothered."

There's the silence again. This time, I decided not to do anything about it. We walk in silence to the cafeteria and to my table.

"So, about that question you gave me last night"

I notice his eyes light up a little, or maybe it was just me.

"Yea, I thought about it and I got a solution to it"

He's waiting for me to continue.

I nod.

He smiles.

"Alright. That was the correct answer. Maybe you're not so bad after all...in math I mean."

He grins and walks away. He looks so excited, he's practically running over to tell Jason.

I can't help it, but I smile, just a little bit.
