Who is she Really?

Chapter 6

"It's fine but Chris you know what the rules said. I have to go," I say sternly

"okay, Gracie I'll call you after school." He said calmly having no tone change. On my way to the library, I start to hide the latte and brownie, so I can sneak it into the library. I walk slowly weaving through the bookshelves and crouching. It's actually pretty empty. I see Grey sitting there with his ear buds in and writing. I walk up to him and set the coffees down. I sit and take off my backpack setting it off to the side and take out the brownie.

"Hey, Grey."

"Hi, Rho how's it going?"

"It's good how about you?"

I take my binder and notes out.

"Thanks Rho for the latte and the brownie, and for uh studying with me."

While he says this he leans on his hand and looks at me with his ember eyes. I let out a giggle, pushing up my glasses, and pretended to shuffle through my binder.

"yea. No problem." and I smile.

"So you're in 6th grade? How come your in the Mathlympics team?"

" Yea, I am. I'm an intelligent person, my parents can't afford to move me up a grade. How come you haven't worn your glasses?"

"I'm wearing contacts."

"you look better with glasses." Slightly blushing.

"okay."

"So let's begin and here's your latte."

"thanks, Rho."

After our study hall, I head to class and get ready for dismissal.

After school I was pacing back and forth, waiting for Chris to call. So while I'm waiting I sit and start on my homework from Mrs. Fallen. It was the basic review that the teachers give you. I started on it and in just 5 minutes I heard my phone go off. I quickly get up and answer.

"Hey Gracie, how is middle school?" he asks.

"It's good so far. So how long have you been working at the café?" she asks

"Oh, I just started there when I hear that a fellow 'classmate' was going here." He says so calmly.

" Chris you know what the rules say. I'm in the middle of a mission." She says in a demanding voice.

"Wo,Wo,Wo. You are the one who started to talk to me. Gracie, I came to help and make sure you don't fuck up. This is you first mission and you can't fuck up." he says in a defensive tone. At this point, we both know what we mean by "rules" and stuff.

"Look. First of all call me Rho. It's my name for the thing." She says sternly

"Fine. I'm just here to help. Plus I miss having you around. You should come around and we can hang out" he says. I can feel his grin on face.

"Chris you know this takes a whole school year. These teachers are holding me up. The students too." I say sort of wining.

"Now it sounds like you desperately need to come over." He replies, "You can come over whenever you want just give me a heads up."
"Thanks Chris. You live in the same place right? See you then. Bye"
"Bye"
I could feel the ping in my heart. Chris was a long time friend and I always had a little thing for him. But he says that I'm like a little sister.

Chris sitting in the couch. Gracie sits on his lap sipping her latte. They laugh watching the movie, and commenting.
*end of flashback*
I sat back down and finished homework and headed to the shower.
