Nothing Special, Just Me

Chapter 4

*Beth's POV*

"OH MY GOD," I practically screamed at the top of my lungs.

"WHAT?! What's wrong," he asks with concern in his voice.

I couldn't even look him in the eyes. I was terrified that it would be obvious that I like him.

"N-Nothing. I'm f-fine. Just g-gonna go home now," I said, ready to be far, far away from Zack.

You idiot STOP STUTTERING!  I thought to myself.

"Okay? I'll walk you home."

"NO!.....I mean.....you don't have to do that."

"Well, I'm going to anyway."

"Really, I'll be fine on my own."

He paused for a moment, as if he was deciding on how to make me agree.

"How about, you let me walk you home....and on the way there I'll buy you ice-cream," he offers.

"Can we get Sweet Frog instead?"

"Whatever you want. Come on."

We start walking. It takes us 20 minutes to get to Sweet Frog.....Did I mention I love Sweet Frog?! No? Well, I do!

Anyway, once we got there, we started getting our yogurt. I got cake batter yogurt (my ultimate favorite) with rainbow sprinkles, white chocolate, and caramel. I stood in line while waiting for Zack. He came up beside of me with some kind of frozen yogurt concoction. It looked pretty disgusting to me.

"What in the world is that?" I pointed at his yogurt.

"This is my masterpiece. It's chocolate and strawberry yogurt with sprinkles, gummy worms, M&M's, and a brownie on top. Why? Want to try it?"

"Ew! Definitely NOT!"

He laughed.

"Okay, but can I taste yours," he asks me.

"Why would I share with you?"

"Because I'm hot!"

Hot was an understatement. I would never admit it, though.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"Okay. Fine. Be that way, but I AM trying that."

Finally, it was our turn to pay. He pulled his wallet out, and I was about to argue about who was paying. He put his finger to my lips to silence me. My breath got hitched on my throat and I immediately began blushing. Well, he did get me to shut up.

We go and sit at a table in the back. I open my mouth to talk, but he shoves a spoonful of his yogurt into my mouth. I swallow it as quickly as I can.

"OH MY GOD! How do you eat that?! It's gross," I yell.

He shrugs.

"I like it."

I take a spoonful of my yogurt, and he opens his mouth, thinking I was going to feed him. Instead, I fling the yogurt from my spoon onto his face. I burst out laughing.

"So that's how it's gonna be," he questions.

I was laughing too hard to answer.

"Don't just sit there," he says with an attitude.

I'm still laughing my head off.

"Are you just gonna sit there and laugh or are you going to get this off of my face?"

"Sorry," I mumble.

I pick up a napkin and begin to wipe his face. Somehow, he managed to get yogurt all over your hands too. He poked the tip of my nose, getting yogurt on me. I could feel my face heating up. My heart was beating out of my chest. I instantly feel butterflies in my stomach. I was beginning to get flustered, so I came up with an excuse to get away for a few minutes.

"I-I'm going outside for some air," I stutter

"Is everything all right," he asks, clearly concerned.

"I'm fine. Just have a small headache," I use as an excuse.

I get up, leaving my purse and phone laying on the table. I walk outside and stand, taking deep breaths to calm myself down. After about 10 minutes, I feel as thought I'm being watched. An uneasy feeling settles over me. That's when I hear footsteps come up behind me.

???-"Hello, Beth."
