Love to Hate You

Love to Hate You: 3

Chapter Three - Lunch, Questions, and Confusion.

                  "Are you hungry?" Arianna said to me as we walked to our table. We both sat down on opposite sides, so that I was facing her. Come on, she knew the answer to that question already. I mean, she's my best friend for pete's sake!

                  "Did you just seriously ask me that?" she rolled her blue eyes, knowing what was coming. 

                "The question is, 'can you handle your hunger?'" I patted my stomach, and as if on cue, it rumbled in response.

                 "Alright then. Can you handle your hunger?" Arianna asked.

              "No. Therefore, you shall fetch me my food." I smirked. I was totally going to win this argument. I knew it, I always win arguments. Heck, I should be a lawyer right now. Or wait, maybe a judge. Hm, which pays more?

                "Why would I do that?" she snorted, breaking my random thoughts then I patted her shoulder.

             "Because, you love me and I'm too lazy to get up." I smirked, yet again. Oh no, Cody's rubbing off on me. This smirking has got to stop. Like, right now. Arianna sighed, and I immediately knew I won this again. She's pretty bad at arguing, she's such a softy. But hey, I love her for that.

             "Only because I love you." she sighed dramatically like the drama queen she is, then stomped off to the long line for the food. I didn't even care what they're cooking today, I just need food in my tummy. 

            I dragged my eyes around the cafeteria. My eyes were stopped to a noisy group just across Arianna and I's table. The jock's. Come on, they were very noisy. But I did notice something..Cody's been acting sort of weird. He's been avoiding everyone since last week, he was seated at the jock's table but he was silent. Which is..sort of unusual, for him at least. 

              Why was he acting so..distant? It was so not like him. Why is he acting so out of character? Wait. Did I just say character? Oh my god, what is this? A role play? And why am I even asking myself these questions? Am I going crazy? Urgh. Why is Cody acting so out of himself? I should be rejoicing right now..but, I'm just curious on what the hell is going on with him. 

              "Hey! Earth to Liz." Arianna snapped her fingers right in front of my face repeatedly. Woah, time goes by fast. How many minutes was I out?

               "Huh?" I mentally slapped myself for acting so stupid. That stupid prick is invading my thoughts. I exhaled, closing my eyes. You're gonna be fine Liz, just act cool. All of a sudden, Arianna just laughed for no reason, or so I thought. What, she's going crazy too? Glad to know I'm not the only one, I think.

            "Nothing, your face is just too cute right now. Ooh, I wish I had a camera." she explained, which even confused me more. What is she talking about?

               "It's like those rare times you don't look like you're going to attack everyone." Arianna said. What the hell? Is that what I look like everyday? I absolutely do not want to attack everyone, I guess. Not everyone, at least. 

            "I do not!" I defended myself. I absolutely do not look like that. No way in hell.

            "Do too!"

            "Do not!"

          "Do too!"

           "Okay, this is stupid." I chuckled at our little banter.

         "Yeah, I know right?" Arianna agrees, laughing too. We were crazy people, I'll tell you; but that's what makes us best friends. Our craziness combine together. And yes, it is completely stupid to think about this.

              "Enough talking. Let's just eat, we only have a few minutes till Lunch is over." I looked at the watch on my wrist indicating we only had like ten minutes left. I can handle this. I just need like, five minutes to finish my food. I started to eat, gracefully like royalty. Haha, not. I ate like a pig, like I haven't eaten in five decades. That, is how I eat. Me? Graceful? I crack myself up. 

              After about ten minutes, like I expected, the bell rang signalling that Lunch was over. Which means it's time for... Geography. Truth is, I love Geography. It's like, how can you not love Geography? It's the best subject there is! Oh yeah, did you notice the sarcasm I put in there? No? Well Geography is a big, fat no in my favorite subject. 

             "Ugh! Ms. Simmons is my next class." Plus, it's grumpy Simmons again. Seriously, she's always angry at nothing. She's an old lady in her forties who thinks she's all that. It's so gross that she spits all over us especially when she's discussing. She, has serious hygiene problems. 

              "Ms. Simmons?" And then she started laughing. What a surprise. 

             "That's so miserable." She added a little after she regained a bit control of her laughter.

            "Ha-ha very funny." I rolled my eyes. 

             "Um..Liz, can I talk to you for a sec?" I was so startled to see Cody standing right behind me, looking so lost and sad, and it was just not his usual cocky self. What's gotten in to him anyways? He's been so weird all day.

             "If you're going to secretly annihilate me, please I won't. Or wait, you might rape me, how would I know I'm safe with you. Alone, especially?" I gave him my best smirk, proud of what I just said.

             "Please. I wouldn't dare. I don't even like you that way." he said, and just like that, I gave in.     

           We walked to the halls, where no one was there, so it was just me and him. 

            "I'm going to ask you for a favor, please, please, please don't freak out and run away." Cody pleaded with his cute blue eyes. Oh well, I guess wouldn't get over that blue eyed obssesion any time sooner. Might as well admit it.

             "Wait, you think I have cute eyes?" he asked, his lips curving into a boyish grin.

              "Shut up. What did you bring me here for?" I changed the subject.

             "Well..promise you won't freak out, okay?" he maked sure again for like, the hundredth time. 

              "Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes.

             "Will..Will you be my girlfriend?" 

               What the fuck?
