Living Next Door To An Idiot

Oh my gosh, It's so fluffy...

You were my teddy bear,you were comforting and quiet...

Zara and I quickly rush to the library as soon as the bell rang. I don't who's more excited, me or her. I look over at Zara and she is literally jumping with joy while she whizzes last people. Definitely her!

Even though I promised myself to stay away from Grayson, I agreed to meet him in the library at lunch to see the puppy. I invited Zara along because I didn't want to be alone with Grayson especially since I found out he was a part of the 'It Group'. I've already had an encounter with Brad and Lisa. They were making out in front of my locker and at first I wasn't sure if they knew it was my locker and was getting revenge for insulting Brad or they picked an innocent locker as a make out place but when Lisa accidentally tripped me over with her foot like her boyfriend did to me, I knew it was a revenge plot.

Finally when I catch up with Zara, she is waiting outside the library excitedly waiting for me to walk in with her. I abruptly stop. Was this a smart idea?

"So this is the famous library everybody talks about!" I exclaim nervously wiping my sweaty hands in my jeans. Why am I even nervous it's just Grayson!

"Who talks about the library?" Zara says as if it was the weirdest thing she heard all day. "Wait, you're stalling aren't you. Are you nervous or something?"

"No!" I say unconvincingly. Zara looks at me suspiciously but grabs my hand and drags me into the library. I spot Grayson by the corner looking at something down on his lap. There sat the brown fluffy puppy named Russell.

"Oh my gosh, he's so fluffy! Can I keep him?" Zara Yells.

"Shush, we don't want people knowing that we brought a dog into school." I whisper yell at Zara and she pipes down.

"Hello cutie!" I say stroking Russell.

"Hey!" Grayson says back and fight the urge to slap him.

"I wasn't talking to you idiot!"

"Rude, you say hi the dog but not me! I'm a human you know."

"Yes, a stupid one too!" I snap back.  Zara giggles in the background and Grayson looks up at her in shock as if noticing her for the first time.

"Who's that?" Grayson says staring at Zara with interest as we take the seats opposite him. Zara blushes and looks down at her lap.

"That's Zara, a friend I made in homeroom when you left me. Be nice."

"Why is she here? You told her about Russell." He accuses while holding Russell closer to his chest.

"Yes I told her, catch up dummy!"

"Don't worry, you can trust me. I won't say anything about Russell!" Zara pipes in, glaring at me because of my bluntness and rudeness. Sorry but this guy gets on my nerves easily.

I snatch Russell from Grayson's lap and stroke him. He rests on my lap looking up at me.

"So where have you been keeping Russell for the day?"

"In my locker." He says while checking his phone. I give him an exasperated look and Zara also looks at me horrified.

"Why would you keep a dog in your locker! That's basically animal abuse." I whisper yell while I punched him on the arm.

"Ouch! For a girl you sure don't punch like one." He moans while rubbing his arm.

For the rest of Lunch, I give all of my undivided attention to Russell while Zara and Grayson talk about who knows what. When the warning bell rings, I quickly gather up my stuff and  head to the lesson I've been waiting for; Dance.
