My Enigma

That boy make my blood boil

  Ch.7

  I squinted my eyes to show my disgust. Really on the inside I was dying of laughter.

"I hope you know my name isn't Diamond", I say to keep myself from laughing at what he said earlier.

"I know but to me you are one", Elijah said with dead serious look on his face.

He broke out laughing.

"Just kidding", he said tearing up from laughing.

  Maybe I wanted to see this but for a second I saw something in his eyes telling me different. I took my laptop off of my lap. As I headed to the kitchen. Elijah gripped my arm.

He looked me dead in my eye as he spoke," So are you going to dry these clothes for me."

     I assumed that he meant the clothes he was wearing. I started to fume. How dare he come over to my house unannounced and expect me to be cool about Friday. Then this kid has the nerve to ask ME to wait on HIM. I raised my eyebrow in defiance.

"What do you think I look like? You expect me to be all dandy with you after-"

  I have to stop myself so I wouldn't let him know I was jealous. So I just ripped my hand away from him. I started opening and cabinets angrily. Elijah appeared behind me but I didn't notice. He tapped on my shoulder and I was still in the process of opening a cabinet. He stopped my elbow from connecting to his face. A smile played on his lips.

"Listen I'm sorry about Friday. Ella is nothing but a two-dollar girl", he began stroking my arm as he spoke that sentence.

I smile broke out on my lips. I quickly cover it remembering I'm suppose to be mad at him.

"Elijah, I can't take you games", I said in a quiet voice.

  Elijah looked like he disappointed me. He averted his eyes somewhere else but his hand was still resting on my arm.

"You need to go before my parents get home."

"Diamond-

"Just leave."

      While his clothes are partly damp, I couldn't careless. The sun was out so it would dry sometime. Elijah grabbed his backpack and began to walk out. He turn to me like he wanted to say something. His eyes burned with a desire to say something, but he was to chicken to speak up.

       After Elijah left my parents were back within 20 minutes. They carried in bags of groceries. I got up to help unpack the groceries. My parents started talking about something that did not interest me, so I just reply the moments in my head. That boy can make me boil in anger. Was I too harsh? No don't think like that. He makes my head spin.

      I tell my parents I'm going to the clubhouse in our neighborhood. I keep on burgundy sweats, put in on white tee, and red sneakers. After a three minute walk to the clubhouse. The cool air hit my face as I walk into the gym. I let feelings about Elijah wash over me as I attacked the punching bag.

" If you want me I'm accepting applications. So long as we can keep this record on rotation. You know I'm good with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Breathe me in, breathe me out. So amazing", I sing-dance down the hallway to the Sanctuary.

   Friday came so fast. I mean there was only four day of school this week, so that probably helped. All of those four day I avoided him. I know I'm going to see him today, but I'm not going to let him ruin my day. I see this smoking hot guy wearing his football jersey. The guy has dirty blonde perfectly tousled hair. His light blue eyes with a green trim on the inside of his pupil. The football player's muscles were on display with his tight jersey. Since I'm not going to football game tonight I might as well weird him out.

" Oh, oh. Can we take it nice and slow, slow. Break it down and drop it low, low. 'Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights 'til you can't let me go", as I sing-dance I look him directly in the eye with eye contact.

   I walk off laughing at my crazy act. I look back to his face. The football player winks at me before walking off. I smile slyly at my actions. Music pumping from the Sanctuary gets me excited. I walk pass the double doors. I say hello to the people holding the double doors open. I put my book bag down and go stand in line for food.

After 15 minutes of conversations of new and old members of our club. I look over to see two guys having a push-up contest. I roll my eyes at the buff douches. I realize one of the guys is Elijah. I walk closer to the guys.

"You know you should do it with people on your back", Mason(main leader of the club) commented causing more people to crowd.

"Elijah should have Savvy on your back", some girl commented.

Amusement danced in Elijah's eyes. I could help but smirk.

"Amber is smaller than Savvy", a boy commented.

Everyone agreed to what this boy said. Elijah looked at me as if asked me if it's ok. I couldn't bring myself to look so I walked out until they were done.
