The Love Project *k.a*

12- "Dad?"

    Chapter 12

"Ok today class, you will be reading the question and answer sheet to the class. First up is Genny and Dev," the teacher announced and Genny and Dev stood up to the front of the class.

I watched them as they read out their answers.

"Pss, camila," a voice whispered. I looked up and saw Kevin trying to get my attention.

"What?" I whispered back careful not to let the teacher see us talking.

"I never got the last question, what is something that no one knows about you?" he asked and gestured the blank under the question on his sheet.

I thought about the answer for a second.

"Um a lot of people know this already buh just put that I was homeschooled my whole life I guess," I answered. He smiled and quickly wrote that down.

We waited while all the other people went up and presented theirs to the class. We were the second to last to go.

"Kevin and Camila, you're up."

I grabbed my sheet and walked up to the front of the class, and so did Kevin.

When I was in the center, Kevin stood next to me.

"You can start."

Kevin went first.

"Her favorite color is red, her favorite book is tfios, her favorite movie is...," and then he went on and on saying stuff about me.

I bit my lip as I watched him talk. His lips moving swiftly and fast...

Whoa wait what?

Stalkerish much...

"And one thing I learned about her is that before this she had been homeschooled her whole life," he finished up. I took a deep breath. It was my turn now.

"His favorite color is red, his favorite book is The Hunger Games...," and then I went on and on listening about him.

They were mostly simple stuff, like favorite sport, favorite show and all that.

I started talking slower because I didn't want to get to the last one. Even though he said I could something felt wrong about telling everyone his dad had died. I just don't want to say it, buh I had to.

"And s-something I learned about him was...," I was cut off by the bell.

"All right class we'll finish this up tomorrow and then I'll tell you your next assignment. Have a nice day everyone!"

I sighed with relief. Saved by the bell. I walked back to my desk and grabbed all my books and started walking out.

Genny caught up to me.

"Guess what?" she chirped excitedly.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I'm going to Mexico right after school for my cousins wedding! And he's rich so there's going to be a huge party in a huge mansion with great food and a pool and he has really a really cute son my age!"

"That's nice," I said dryly not really caring.

She gave me a weird look.

"Um were you even listening?" she asked.

"I was buh I rather not hear about the paradise while I'm stuck in my house all alone all weekend," I explained. Her smile returned back to her face and she laughed.

"You'll have Dev, it will be fine, I'll only be gone for a few days."

As she continued telling me about Mexico, a pang of guilt hit me that I haven't even considered telling her about Kevin.
