She's a Lady

Chapter Five~Wait, What Now?

~~^ That's Quin, guys! ^~~

November

I was about sick and tired of this already. It's only been two weeks, and Isi was driving me INSANE. I have found black hair dye in my shampoo, a dead bug in my cereal, and I caught him trying to put bleach in my laundry the other day! The bastard almost ruined my favorite black tee...

He was UNBEARABLE. And that's exactly what I told Quin when I went to work the day after the laundry incident.

"I know. Boys usually are," he said, running a hand through his already mussed hair.

I stared at him a moment. "I think sometimes you forget you're a boy too."

"No, but there's a difference between regular boys and gay boys. I can dis my own gender as much as I want to, honey. Why are you getting onto me, anyway? Girls dis each other all the time. To the point of no return, usually."

"I... shut up, I'm not in the mood for your smart ass."

"Oh, please. Everyone's in the mood for this ass." To emphasize his words, Quin pat his own butt before walking out of the room. I scowled.

"I'd hate to be the person who eats the food you hand to them!" I exclaimed. I heard him laugh, but he didn't retort, which probably meant he had a customer. I pouted, looking out at my own part of the restaurant. I had barely any people today, which I guess was kinda a good thing, but my paycheck would be low this week...

~~~~~~~

I covered my mouth to stifle a yawn, waiting for someone to come sit down. Everyone I needed to serve I'd already served. I was just bored now... Earlier I'd hoped for at least something to keep me busy during lunch hour, but I had, like, three people and that had been it.

"BOO!!"

I screamed, jumping ten feet in the air. Then i spun around to face the one who scared me, ready to blow up. Isi smirked, his hands behind his back. "Why the hell are you here?!?!" I yelled in his face.

He didn't even blink, just kept that smug look on his face. It didn't leave even when he started to move his lips. "I have to ask you for a favor."

"I get off in an hour, you couldn't wait till then?!"

He shook his head. "No, you see, this is very important. And I know you'll do it for me."

"Oh, do you, now? And just what makes you think that?"

"Well, if you don't do this for me, your little fear of loud crashes in the sky may or may not reach the ears of the student body." He leaned against the counter, his smirk growing.

"You wouldn't!"

"Hisami, I think we both know that I would."

I glared at him for a long moment, before groaning and crossing my arms. "What exactly do you want?" I breathed in an irritated voice.

"Well, I'm going to a party."

"Alright. What does that have to do with me?"

"I want you to go with me. As my date. So the girls will leave me alone."

I scoffed. "Like a date will get those whore to leave you alone."

"It will if it's you. A lot of the girls are scared of you."

I looked at him, an eyebrow raised. "Why's that?"

"Because your face is just so mortifying." He shuddered.

I punched him in the arm. "Ow! Fuck, Hisami!" He sighed, running a hand across his face. "That is why the girls are all scared of you. You hit like a dude, and you're not afraid to hit a girl."

"Oh. Okay. So you want me to hit any girls that come hit on you? I could do that, but as much as I don't like sluts, I hate you even more."

He glared at me. "I don't want you to hit them, idiot. Just you being there will make them leave me the hell alone."

"I don't even like parties!" I whined.

"Well you're going to have to learn how to love them by Saturday." He pushed himself off of the counter, walking past me. "See you, Hisami." He did a little sarcastic wave, and I had to use all my willpower not to go and hit him until his grandmother felt it...

~~~~~~~

"I love you, sweet, soft, big bed," I said, plopping down on my bed face first. I felt the bed sink next to me a few minutes later, a sign that Quin had took the liberty of coming inside. I rolled over onto my side, facing him. He was pouting. "What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Don't you love me, too?" he asked. I laughed.

"Of course I do! But I love my bed more. It's more welcoming than you." I stuck my tongue out at him. He chuckled, shaking his head.

"Why am I friends with you?" he asked me.

"Because you love me and you'd be lost without me." I said.

"Yeah, I guess that's true."

"Of course it's true! You have to love me. Even if you don't, you're still stuck with me. Forever!!"

"Oh, well. I guess I'll have to live with that."

"Yes, you do."

"It's a good thing I do love you, then, huh?"

"Mhm. Yes, it is." I yawned, grabbing one of my pillows and wrapping my arms around it. Quin looked at me, eyebrow raised.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm cuddling with my pillow, what does it look like I'm doing?"

"Why cuddle with a pillow when you have me, the man that's so sexy he radiates more heat than any other man in the world?"

"You're so full of yourself." Though I sighed and rolled my eyes, I ditched the pillow and wrapped my arms around his torso. Well, he wasn't wrong, he was pretty warm...

"Hey, Hisami?" he asked me.

"Mm?" I mumbled, already feeling sleep try to pull me under.

"You know... I love you more than you think I do."

"Yeah?" I yawned again.

"Yeah. I mean, I think I... I think I'm in love with you."

That woke me up. I sat up, looking him dead in the eye. A blush spread across his features. Quin. Blushing. Quin. My best friend. My best friend who is gay just told me he was in love with me. Me. A girl. A girl! What the hell was he thinking?! Was he drunk? Insane?! That was it! He was insane! He couldn't be in love with me.

I opened my mouth to say these things, but the only thing that came out of my mouth was, "But you're gay."

Yay! Plot twist! Surprise!! Okay, well, maybe some of you expected this. But to those of you that didn't, surprise!! You know you love me. Byeee~~~
