Mr. Bad Boy, Nerd And Me

Chapter 9 - 21 Forever

Blaire Andrews

After Kathy had gone to go to take a bathroom break I haven't noticed her come back in. Oh, little rebel girl. It's now lunch time and I saw her walk herself to my table. Well, at least I could call it mine because I'm the only one sitting on this specific table.

"Where have you been?" I asked, there was this tingling sensation in my brain-I don't know how to describe it-and it just wants to burst. I don't know how or why this is happening.

"Oh, just exploring." She sounded excited, yet so suspicious. Exploring? Haven't I showed her everything yet?

"Ok." I shrugged and just continued to dig in. "Any plans for tonight." I leaned on her side and whispered. She sat up straight with her mouth full of spaghetti and one strand, I guess you could call it that, of spaghetti was hanging out of her puckered lips.

She chewed her food as fast as she could and swallowed it all then drank some water to cleanse it out. "Nope, why?" She smiled widely as the apples of her cheeks turned rosy because of all the spaghetti she had on her mouth.

"Well, I was planning on having a dinner date with you and my family tonight. It would be a great opportunity to let my parents know you more. I mean, if you're not ready it's ok but I just thought that I want to introduce you to my parents so that they actually think I have friends." I kinda laughed at the last few words but I felt a bit down. Obviously, my parents know I don't have friends. My mother only thinks I'm friends with Angel and Josh but they would just ignore me.

"No, no. I'm ready." She said confidently, having no second thoughts and regrets. Of course she agrees to things like this. That's nothing to her. If you dare her to jump off a high bridge, she might have second thoughts about doing it. "Anything for you so you don't look like you don't have friends." She gave me a little wink.

We both laughed and I saw Josh walk pass our table. I don't know why he would walk pass our table. Our table is, like, three feet away. He walked pass us while we were laughing together. He gave me and Kathy a glimpse and walked himself to his table. Somehow, Kathy's mood changed in a matter of seconds. She was silent at the moment as I tried to finish my meal.

Boom! I got an A+ for doing the homework and I'm surprised nobody else made their homeworks, I mean, not a surprise at all. Even Kathy didn't make her homework. What's up with this girl? She seems mysterious all of a sudden, like she hides things from me.

I met up with Kathy at the playground area. Sitting on the slides in my highschool years, alone, doesn't look weird, right? After 30 whole minutes of waiting in the playground, Kathy finally showed up.

"Finally, you showed up! I was afraid you're gonna bail on me." I stood up from the slide and she gave me a wicked smile.

"You know I would never do that." She gave a little smirk and held out one of her hands and said, "Come on, let's go?"

"Yeah. Good thing we're a bit early so that we could still practice." I grabbed her hand. One hand is on her hand and the other is holding all the folders that I have.

"Psshh. I don't need practice." She broaden her shoulders and gave me her confident look. We walked fast to our house and quickly snuck in the kitchen to practice Kathy's manners while having dinner.

"Okay, first thing. Sit up straight. No slouching." I get right in to the point. She's not very hard to work with, she gets things fast. I showed her the rest of the things that she needs to learn. Some she knew already and some she already has the thought of it, some she still needs a bit of practice. But she got the hang of it.
