Not So Normal

Chapter 9

Since it was time for art, I had time to think about what happened. Luckily people were still to busy think how beautiful I looked to even notice my cheeks were blushing.

"Today, your Creations are done in the Kilnt. So we will begin to paint them. Please make sure to put newspaper down in your area and to not hot the paint. The Creations are on the back counter, and the rest of the time is yours."

I sit and wait for the crowd around the Creations to simmer down, and around the paint. I begin to think of what kind of paint I should use, but then our teacher starts talking.

"Class, we have a new student joining this Art class, I'm pretty sure you mall know Parker. Good thing we made an extra project. Lets see you can go sit next to Brielle."

Well so much for having the hour to think about what happened.

"Hey Beautiful."

"Hi Parker."

"Something the matter?"

"Nope, just thinking."

"About last hour I bet."

"Yep."

"Did you not enjoy it?"

"I did, that's not the problem."

"Then what is?"

"It's Stella."

"Don't worry bout what she thinks. What she thinks doesn't matter to this friendship. Okay?"

"Yeah, no big. We should probably go and get paint and our projects. "

We stand up and walk over, there's 2 Creations left. Mine and his.

"I'm going to use the metallic paint for mine, do you want to share Parker?"

"Sounds cool.

That means yes in Parker's language.

We sit down and begin to paint.

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"I want to know more about Stella stealing you away."

"Why?"

"Because,my on we're the only boy that talked to me until high school. It was just Charlotte and I. Now I have Chase and you. That's it. Think of how less lonely I could have been if I would have had you sooner."

"Okay, okay I will tell you. She use to be my neighbor, but I moved. She started to notice that I liked you started hanging out with you and she became jealous. So one night she came over and taught me how to be popular. How to walk, talk, dress and look. Then, she tried to kiss me but I pushed her away. I didn't want any of this, I wanted you. But she left my house crying, so I guess that's why I became popular. I felt like I owed it to her. And now I'm here, back with you and I don't care what she says or does, as long as you're still my friend."

"Who said I ever stopped being your friend?

BEEEP

"Can I sit by you at lunch today?"

"I really need to talk to Charlotte and Chase. But I will see you later okay?"

"Sounds cool. Bye beautiful!"

I'm not sure why but every time he says something l say something like that I blush and I'm still blushing even though the art home is all the way across the school from my locker.

"Why are you blushing Bri?"

"I have SO MUCH to tell you!"

"Ohhhhhh! What/Who about?"
