His Sister's Babysitter (✓)

Chapter 20: Party I

The tutoring went kind of smooth yesterday. It's like both of us trying to concentrate on the books and notes to get our minds off the kiss that happened earlier. None of us brought that up and we never talked about that kiss, but I really thought we should talk about it.

It was awkward, but I admit, I had waited for that moment to come for a really long time, and now that I knew I was in love with him, the kiss seemed could answer my questions I had in my mind, but at the same time it also raised more questions.

I couldn't help but to think that what if he kissed me wasn't because he liked me the way I liked him, he kissed me because he was just being the 'playboy' side of him and that kiss actually meant nothing to him?

I knew I could be very suspicious about everything sometimes, but I felt like everyone in the hallway was looking at me and whispering behind my back, or was I just being oversensitive?

Most importantly, where was Shelley? From the moment I stepped into the school's hallway, I was searching for her, but I didn't feel someone put her arm around my shoulder, nor I could hear her talking to somebody, I couldn't even find the shadow of hers or a stray of her hair.

So, where was Shelley? Was she skipping school today? No, she wouldn't skip school unless she was very ill, and as far as I knew, she was healthier than a horse.

I went up to my locker trying to ignore everyone's gazes that made me really uncomfortable and nervous, they made me forget my combinations for my locker and I had to try two more times before I successfully opened it.

I felt like they were still looking at me, and I almost jumped into my locker and planned to hide inside it until the hallway was clear again. Almost.

"Hey, Car." Finally, I heard the voice I've been dying to hear which also saved me from the idea of locking myself in my own locker.

Shelley showed up beside me and was entering the combinations of her locker. I closed mine after taking out the textbook for first period and spun around to face her. "I started to think that you are not coming to school today."

"I was talking to someone at the parking lot." Shelley said with a sorry face.

I leaned closer to her, lowered down my voice, "Shell, do you feel that everyone's looking at me? And some are whispering behind my back?"

One of Shelley's eyebrows raised as if she was processing the question I just asked her, and the second she finished processing everything, both of her eyebrows were frowned. "Why would everyone look at you and whispering? What did you do?"

"Nothing!" I shook my head slightly.

Shelley could sense that I was getting more uncomfortable as I felt everyone was looking at me, she put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down. "Maybe they're not looking at you, and maybe they're not talking about you. Maybe you're just being oversensitive."

"Maybe I am..." Maybe I really was just being oversensitive, because, what would they talk about me behind my back anyway? I had done nothing for them to gossip around.

I really needed to talk to Cohen about that kiss, but I never had the chance to do it. Right now I was home, babysitting Amelia, because Cohen said he had something to do and asked me to pick up Amelia at the daycare. Mr. Kane was out of town again and it's most likely that Amelia has to sleepover at our house anyway.

Shelley was here too since she was the one driving me to the daycare center to pick up Amelia and then drove us here. I didn't bring my car to school today as well, my mom offered to send me because she was having a day off.
