So now I have no girlfriend and Claudia is in the passenger seat. I don't know what to say to her so I take her home not saying a word until she broke the silence.
"Why are you so nice to me?" she asked.
I laughed "I'm not a nice person" I tell her.
"Of course you are your the only person that offered to help me today"
"So that doesn't mean I'm nice"
"well then why did you offer me a ride home?" she asks. Having nothing to say because she has a point if I was mean I would have let her ride her bike all the way home but I think its just because I like her.
"Well..." I begin no being able to finish my sentence
"So how was your day" she asks noticing that she has a point.
"My day went well." I say not telling her about me and jess because I don't want her to feel like it's her fault because it wasn't.
"Cool"
"So how was your day?"
"Well it was okay for my fist day" she says "who was that guy that took me to my class?" she asks obviously interested.
"Oh. Well that's Josh" I say
"He's kind of cute don't you think?"
I just can't help but laugh "I'm not straight so I honestly wouldn't know"
"Oh right I knew that" she says obviously embarrassed and its kinda funny because when shes emdarrassed she looks cute.
Claudia's short POV
i knew she wasnt straight i just wanted to see what her response was gonna be but yes i was a little embarrassed because she has yet to find out my sexuall prefrence. So we get to my house. I lean over to get my stuff from the back seat and i do something i wasnt expecting myself to do. i kiss her. Her lips were soft but rough at the same time. but everything about this chick was flashing a big red flag i just dont know if i wanna be more than freinds. I slowly pull away. I can feel my cheeks burning. "um ... thaks for the ride" i say not sure whatelse to say.
"your welcome" she says in a whisper.
Jennifers POV
and as i watch her sart to get out of the car i say "dont go" not sounding so sure about myself not really knowing what im about to say next so i just say what comes to mind "i like you" she looks at me with those eyes that i get lost in every time
"I know" she says smiling at me so i just smile back. "do you need a ride to school in the morning?"
"yeah that would be nice" she says
"okay ill be here around 7:30" i say
"okay bye jenifer " she says and heads into her house so as i drive off i replay what just happend and i start to think that maybe claudia is into me right? i mean like someone doesnt just kiss you they have to be into you in order to kiss you ... i think . So i get home and i can tell my parents have been fighting again because i see my dad driving off and my moms in the kitchen crying and to be totally truthfull i dont know how to comfert her aymore so i just go up to my room and sit on my bed as i pick up the guitar and play The Devil's Tears by Angus and Julia Stone.
*************
*************
i wake up to the sound of my anoying yet helpfull alarm clock cause to be honest if that stupid little thing didnt go off every morning i would never make it to school. So i get up take a shower and start to get ready for school because i have to pick up two people (no im not complaning its actually wuite fun to have someone to talk to in the mornings) so i finished getting dressed around 7 and as i look at my phone i see that i have a new txt msg from Jessica and when i see her name i remember what happend between us yesterday as i open the txt i read the words i wasnt expecting to see "i love you" in the whole year and 11 months she has never said that and now that we're over she tells me?! like WTF!i shut my phone and turn on my ipod and listen to my happy song i go downstairs to get my books and my stuff ready school doesnt start tilll 8:30 so i might go to starbucks with claudia . . . if she wants so im out the door and in my car on my way to Claudia's house i get there right on time and honk she comes out smiling at me on her way to the car i reach over to to open the door for her
"goodmorning" she says to me
"goomorning claudia" i say and smile at her i wait for her to close the door and start to drive off. " want to go to starbucks to go get some coffe?" i ask her a little too fast (i think)
"umm . . . sure" she says not sounding sure of her answer
"okay" i say a cuple of minutes go by before she breaks the silence
"so like what happend between you and Jessica yesterday?" she asks not sounding sure if she should bring it up
"we broke up." i say with absolutly no emotion.
"oh"
"yeah but i dont really care"
"really?"
"yupp" i say turning into the starbucks parking lot "lets go" i say getting out of the car i wait for her as she gets out of the car we go in together we order what we want and i pay we go and sit by the window and i cant help but just sitt there and look at her and after about five minutes she finally breaks and says "why do you keep looking at me like that?"
"like how?"
"i dont know"
" so what do you want to talk about?"
"whats your favorite color?" she asks me
"bright green and you?"
"just regular green" after that we dont really talk we finish drinking our coffee and start heading to school around 8:10 we get to school just in time to hear the bell signaling that we have 5 minitues to get to class. We walk in together and the first thing i see is Andrea's facial expression when me and Claudia walk in together i almost instatly start to laugh. Claudia and I start to make our way throught the rows of boookbags and people staring.
"hey" i say to andrea
"dont talk to me" she says
"OMG! WHY?" shes being over dramatic
"because"
"fine whatever ill talk to claudia" i say
"fine fine ill talk to you" she say giving up and i just smile
"so how has your morning been?"
"good."
"whats wrong? what did i do? why are you acting like this?"
"you should really at least give me a chance with the girl" she says sounding hurt okay one more thing you should know most of the girls that are lesbians and go to my school usually fall for me and not andrea i dont know why it just . . . i never intend for them to fall for me they just do
"we're not together" i say and i can tell Claudia heard that cause she turns and looks at me her eyes sad but trying not to show any emotion. I honestly don’t know what to do i like her but i just met her and she just met me i think we should get to know each other before we get together but i cant i feel as if one more day passes by that she’s not my gf that it’s one more day that i have the chance to lose her so i turn around and grab my calculator it took me a while but i figured out how to do it as i pushed it in it read "will you be my gf?" i stare at the calculator wondering if i should pass it to her and before i know it I’m passing it to her.
