The Enemy

Interuptions and No Room

Ch. 5

Mark's POV

I was on my way over to Katie Smith's house. I knew she had a crush on me (I mean who wouldn't) but the thing is that I'm not into her like that. I'll give her a chance though; she is pretty cute. I'm surprised she hasn't freaked out around me yet. That's good, I like girls who can keep their cool.

I took out my phone to text Katie.

Me: Hey Katie. I know we're going to your house but you forgot to txt me your address.

Katie: 5684 Elmwood Lane. Don't forget to bring your script.

I typed the address into my phone and continued driving to her house.

Katie's POV

I practically danced around the house getting things ready for Mark. "I still can't believe he's coming over to my house!" I thought to myself.

"Okay, seriously. Who is coming over? You have been smiling ever since we got home and it's starting to freak me out," Luke said to me.

"I told you that it was no one special. "

"It must be someone special because you can't stop smiling. I'm not kidding anymore tell me or I'm going to squeeze it out of you. "

"I'm not telling."

My brother starts running towards me. I run away as fast as I can but I'm not fast enough. Did I mention my brother is on the football team and he also does track. Luke grabs me and starts squeezing me. "Fine, fine, I'll tell you just put me down," I manage to squeak out.

"No, I won't let you go 'cause you'll just run away again. Now tell me," he said squeezing me harder.

"Mark Evans is coming over!"

"Why is it so special that he's coming over," Luke says while putting me down.

"I told you it isn't."

"Then why are you still smiling?" He paused for a second then said, "You like him don't you. Aw. Katie has a little crush."

I blushed -slightly-at his comment. "No, I don't. He's just coming over to work on a project."

"Nope, there is no denying that you like him. Don't worry I won't tell. My sister has a crush. My sister has a crush," Luke danced around while he sang that last part over and over again. My brother can be so immature sometimes. I heard my phone go off ,meaning I had a text, so I left to get it.

Mark<3: Hey Katie. I know we're going to your house but you forgot to txt me your address.

Me: 5684 Elmwood Lane. Don't forget to bring your script.

I looked at the time on my phone. It was 5:15 already. Mark will be here in forty-five minutes. I ran upstairs to get changed. I put on a white dress that came to about mid-thigh with a brown belt and a short jean jacket. I ran downstairs to make sure that everything was clean and ready for Mark.

Luke was in the living room doing homework while Josh was watching T.V. With everything in order I sat down in the kitchen waiting for Mark to arrive. I heard the door open so I got up to say hi to my dad. "Hi, dad. Is it okay if someone comes over?"

"Who is it?" he asks.

"Mark Evans. We're doing a project together." I reply.

"That's fine. When is he coming over?"

"He should be here soon. "

"Okay, have fun," he continues," on the project. " He said giving me a look. He goes to his room. I hear a knock on the door so I walk over to it, check how I look, and then open it.

"Hey, Mark. Come on in. " I say while opening the door wider allowing him to come in. Mark is wearing a semi-tight red shirt where you can see his abs and black jeans.

"Hey Katie. " He smiles at me. "So where are we going to do the project at? Living room?" He says looking around.

"No, sorry my brothers are in there. So I was thinking the kitchen." I reply heading towards the kitchen.

"Oh! Luke's here?"

"Ya, he's in the living room ,as I said before. He's with my little brother Josh or Joshy as I call him." I say with a smile on my face. We walk into the kitchen and sit down. I take out my script and then get up to close the door to the kitchen.

"Hey,um... Katie?" Mark calls my name.

"Ya, Mark."

"I forgot my script because I was already on my way over when I texted for your address." He said looking down.

"It's okay. We'll just use mine." I said. 'Yes , I get to be really close to Mark.' I think excitedly. I put my script in between us and just as we're about to start Joshy comes running in.

"Hey, sissy. Who's that?" he asks.

"Joshy, this is Mark. He's in my class." I said.

"Is he here to play with me? You know like Leah does."Josh asks excitedly.

I laugh and look over Mark. He just shrugs his shoulders and smiles.

"No, he's here to work with me on a project. Maybe later you two could play." I said trying to get Joshy out of the kitchen so Mark and I could work on the script.

"I want him to play with me now!" Joshy screamed. "Play! Play! Play!"

Josh kept repeating 'play' over and over again and it became clear he was not going to stop.

I gestured to Mark to follow me. He got up and did so. We walked over to the living room when I remembered Luke was in there. So I turned around and walked towards the dining room, but when I opened the door I saw my dad in there eating. I finally headed upstairs to the last place I wanted to take Mark. My room.
