A Little More You

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

The idea of Connor Patrick McDonough being so nice to me is hella weird.

When Thomas arrived, both of them changed my tires under the pouring rain. I don't know what got in to him that he decided to play nice. Maybe it's something about what Riley or Toby said to him.

After parking my car in the school lot, I can see Connor standing by his car constantly checking his watch. Is he waiting for someone?

I jumped when my phone starts to ring, making me even more surprised at the caller.

I'm hesitant to answer, but I did anyway. "Uhh, yeah?"

"Rj, where are you?"

"At the parking lot." I replied slowly.

"Oh, I can see your car. Hold on."

"Connor, what are you-" then he hung up.

I can see the blond hair guy jogging towards me.

It's like I couldn't move, like my body is glued to my seat.

He knocked on my window, I rolled it down. "Hey, let's go to class together?"

I rose an eyebrow, "Why?"

"Why not?"

I rolled my eyes, "I asked why."

"I answered, why not?" He smirked.

Grrr. He's frustrating. I hopped off my car and open the backseat door. I took my guitar and my books for class. "Here, lemme help you."

"No, I can-" he took my stuff and smiled at me, I mentally groaned. "Okay, unbelievable."

He chuckled, "What?"

"I can carry my instruments myself you know."

"Yeah, I'm trying to be helpful here."

"Why?"

"Why not?"

Ughh.

"Let's just go."

"As all of you know, Valentine's ball is coming."

Everyone is pretty much excited about it.

Everyone except me.

"Whoopee." I said sarcastically.

I heard Connor chortle amusingly, "Why are you so dull, Valentine's ball is great."

"For you it is." I muttered, and is he seriously seated next to me? "And why are you sitting next to me?"

"I mean, why not right?"

I am so close into punching his face.

"So. I would like all of you to know that I picked two people to do a special song writing for the ball. I have to give credit to Riley McDonough and Toby McDonough for suggesting it." I heard Mrs. McKinley say.

I smiled at Riley. He gave me a wink and a thumbs up.

As I look back at Mrs. McKinley, she has a smile plastered on her face, looking simultaneously at me and Connor.

I don't like this look. "Oh, no."

"Oh, yes. McDonough and Abiera will do the special song and sing it for the King and Queen of Hearts."

"Umm, which McDonough if I may ask ma'am?"

"Connor Patrick McDonough."

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
