Just your Wingman

Ryan

I gave him the death stare. He quickly looked away frightened. "Who are you staring at?" Tess asked me looking to my direction. "No one!" I said frantically. "Sure..." Tess said sarcastically.

~~~~~~~~

After my last period I went to got find Charlotte. I walked the halls looking for her.

Then I saw her.....with him. I ran up to her. "Uh....Charlotte hello.." I said making her back away from the stalker. "What are you doing?" Charlotte asked pushing me aside. I eyed her, gesturing he was the stalker. She smirked, "This is Erick. Erick meet Wendy."

I eyed the boy. Erick shyly looked at me, "Yeah...we've met." Charlotte smiled, "I've heard..." Once she smiled Erick quickly looked away. "We were talking about our chemistry homework before you got here Wendy." Charlotte said.

I whispered to Charlotte, "He's probably trying to just get some chemistry with you." Charlotte laughed, "He's harmless. We've known each other since the seventh grade. Don't you remember? You were there too." Erick said, "Yeah, Wendy used to sit near me in the third grade.
I guess she doesn't remember. Eh, it's fine, I'm usually quiet anyways."

I looked down. I felt dreary. "Char... You know I don't remember much..." I looked away. I gripped my fists. Charlotte them seemed alert. She looked at me in concern, "Oh yeah, sorry I forgot." Erick asked, "Is there something wrong?" Charlotte out on a fake smile, "Nothing...we gotta go."

Charlotte and I walked home together. "Charlotte...please stop bringing up the past. You know I can't recall some of my memories from back then..." I said solemnly as we walked. I looked at the cars pass by us as they go to their endless destinations.

Charlotte gripped her fists. She looked down to her feet. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to push you off that swing that day..." Charlotte's eyes gleamed in tears. I gripped her hand, "Its okay...it was six years ago.."

Charlotte took a deep breath, " I'm sorry I didn't no better about your heart problem I should have known you have-" I cut her off, "Don't say it...I don't want to know the name..."

We walked home in silence after that. Third grade...the day I fell off the swing. The day I had amnesia. The day I only got some of my memories back. If I didn't have a weak heart none of it would have happened. If I didn't have this condition I wouldn't have a breathing problem once I've had a little bit of stress. If I didn't have it... I wouldn't have lost so many memories...that were so important...

I did my homework peacefully. My mom has made my room stress proof and pit an alarm near my bed just in case I had a heart attack. I was grateful for my mom.
My phone buzzed. A text. I picked it up to see it:

"What was history homework?"

I looked at the number. It was unknown.

"Who are you? How did you get my phone number?!"

"Simple, Ryan gave it to me. This is Erick."

I groaned, "Ryan....that little idiot." I started to text back.

"I can't believe he gave it to you. You guys friends or something?"

"Yeah, since third grade."

"Well, the homework was page 15. Now delete this number.... I don't really want a stalker on my phone."

"Hey, I'm not the one that eyed a person in a pact cafeteria. How did you even find me?"

"From the scent of pure love. It's a distasteful smell. For a person that is shy in person, you sure are sassy."

"Yeah sure okay. Well, thanks for the homework. Bye."

I turned off my phone. I sighed, "Well, that was weird.." I growled, "Stupid Ryan. You don't just give out phone numbers." I did my homework again.

~~~~~~~~~~

I walked the halls with Matt. We were going off to Math class. I walked backwards as I groaned, "Ugh, math is so boring, Ms.Chesterton hates me." Matt smirked, "Yeah because you stole her bell because you hated the ring. You really shouldn't walk backwards."

"Its fine. I have you to tell me who I might hit. I hate talking side to side. How do you look at the person's face?" I scoffed. Matt rolled his green eyes, "Okay, okay. Go ahead." I smiled, "I rest my case."

BAM!!

"Wen-" Matt was about to say but it was to late. I fell to the floor. "AGH!!" I yelled as I hit the floor. Well not floor, a person.

I got off of who I fell on top of. I looked to see who it was. "Ow..." The person said getting up, "Watch where you're going."

I realized that voice. The voice that alerted my brain that it was time to beat someone up. It seemed we both realized who each of us were at the same time. "You!" We both yelled simultaneously. I arched my eyebrows in anger. He arched his.

I eyed his charcoal eyes. He eyed mine. His frisky hair seemed messier than usual, probably because of the fact that I fell on him. We both had a long staring contest.

"Gorilla!" I yelled. It was Ryan.

"Hamster!" He yelled back.

"I should've known it was you! Watch where you're going!"

"Me?! You bumped into me! You were the one walking backwards! Clumsy Hamster!"

"You think you can call me that cause you're taller?! Well you're a Gorilla!"

"HAMSTER!!"

"GORILLA!!"

"Give me a break." Matt said with a sigh. "No kidding." Erick said from behind Ryan. Matt pulled me by the collar as Erick pulled Ryan away as well. "Come on, we have class. No time to beat someone up." Matt said.

"Just one punch!!" I said struggling to get out of his grip. Matt dragged me to class.

~~~~~~~~~

I stared at Ryan with my fierce eyes. He stared at me back with his. Unfortunately, we sat next to each other we sit near each other in math class. "Hamster.." He sneered. "Gorilla..." I fired back.

We both growled at each other. The teacher was pairing up people for the maths assignment but we were to caught up in our staring contest. "Mr. Miller and Ms. Castro." She nonchalantly said. "What?!" We both exclaimed at the same time. "You both will be working on the project." We both groaned and complained simultaneously.

"You will do the project or you both get Fs." The teacher yelled. We both pouted but we didn't say a word.

Ryan and I sat at McMug, a coffee shop, to do our project.

Five minutes later we were yelling at each other.
