Tongue Slip

two weeks of fame.

You never realy know your last good day is your last good day. At that time it is just like any other day. John Green. The fault on our stars.

Something changed that night. Or maybe it was the day. I do not really understand which pf the two.

Having being between two guys and trying to stop them from fighting had brought about a change in isostacy.

I had people walk up to me and size me up , greet me or sneer. Some just smiled. Creepy i know.

Bit then everyone else loved Roy and although Jaycob was new he was rising first in the popularity food chain.

Me.

I was just there and then i was not anymore.

You know what they say about the taste of the forbidden? Itsjust a litle at first but it swallows you like a quick sand and when its done with you, it spits you out like the fish that swallowed Jonah. Back into the painfully severe reality.

Maybe jonah is not a very good example but ill still use him. He had his amazing time in the whale's stomach before he had to face the town people.

Before his reality set in.

But before that, he got into a ship or a boat...whatever they used back then...and he set to sail away. Running a way knowing that he will be free.

As i dressed up for school the next morning, my mind was fixed the same way jonah's had been when he discovered that the ship would be his break through.

I knew that Roy would be mine.

I could even make out my conversation with him.

So i pulled out floral unfinished jeans and a long sleeved tee. I dosed myself with perfume and applied lip gloss. My wedge boots were a finishing touch as well as clear contacts.

I did not take my skateboard or bike like i usually did instead i decided to hike a ride gtom my best friend Carlie.

Her jaw hang open, literary , when she saw me and a small smile made its way to my face.

"What the fudgin-hell is happening to you?" She says as i sat inside her blue car. "Not that i don't like it... as a matter of fact i love it. But.. im just..you know, curious or whatever...but really like i was saying whats woth the wardrobe change?

You look amazing..like seriously, oh and you never got to tell me what it was with Roy yesterday...oh my god!! He defended you!!! " she fans herself with her hand.

To say the least, her excitement was way overdrive and i did not mind at all despite the fact that she kept on gushing about how i look great or how am smiling more or how Roy came to my defence abd finally how the hell do i know the new hot guy.

"Anyway, you know what i mean?" She asjs grabbing my hand before i step out of her car. I raise my voice as i think of a what to answer in a way that would not expose my motives.

Yeah, i know what you are thinking. That she is my best friend and i should tell her. I will just not right now, later i guess.

"Um...erm.." i smile sheepishly

"We need to catch up. "She states. " Tonight. My place or yours?"

Her eyes have a mischievious glint in them as well as hope and the ever present excitement.

I feel so guilty about not talking to her about my desisions and it grows even more considering she knows almost nothing about my family life.

"My place it is." I force a smile just like i have been doing and she falls for it squeking all the way to our homeroom about how we should add on a movie night to it too.

Roy and Spring arrive on class five minutes aftee the tardy bell and because of the pecks of being in the school soccer team and being popular , they are easily let in.

Normally Spring would seat on my left and Carlie on my right.

We all now know today is no normal day. And so Roy bet Spring to it and sat beside me.

My breathe hitched as i pretended not to notice. Carlie raised her brows in surprise while Spring gaped at his best friend in a" what the hell?" Kind of way.

I stared so intensely at the board ignoring my surrounding only until a note lands on top of my desk.

I debate on whether or not to open it until i am nudged by Carlie who squirms on her seat impatiently.

That is my cue to open it and i go right ahead.

His hand righting is edgy and slanty in a good way. Although in a way it looks like a doctor's.

You do not have your glasses today

not that im complaining

Infact o think you look great

Not that you always look bad..

Im ruining this , sorry

What i mean to say is that you look nice today.
R.
A blush rises up from the centre of my chest to my face and ears.

I look up and Carlie mouyhes to me to answer back.

I bite my bottom lip as i think of what to say.

Thanks?

I pass back the note and look striaght ahead trying yo act oblivious to my blushing face.

Sixty seconds later the note is back on my desk.

Your blush is adorable

And do not say thanks again

Just talk to me...you know?

Thirty minutes later we are still chatting and flirting...i cant even believe its me.

Oh came on i think i deserve to get your number.

I chuckle at this.

You can always ask my brother.

He is your best friend after all.

I give back the note and ten seconds later i get it

Now where is the fun in that?

I know i could but we dont want to have my nose broken , do we?

Besides i asked you nicely.

I scribble quickly.

No.

You did not ask nicely and i quote.

"Give me your number."

That is an order

So no.

Unless ............

you ask nicely.

I never get the reply because the teacher caught Roy handing over the paper and that, my dear dears is how i landed in my first detention as well as my popularity status upgrade.

And it lasted for two great memorable weeks.

For two weeks, I dated my long time crush.

For two weeks, i hung out with my twin brother and his friends.

For two weeks, i became popular.

For two weeks, i tasted the forbidden. ( im not talking about sex)

For two weeks Jay looked at me from a distance.

And it destroyed me. I guess i am not that immune after all.

Nothing lasts forever. But we all have our infinities...this was mine.
