Living Next Door To An Idiot

Well a win is a win...

But behind close doors I'm a fool for your love...

I wake up to a small hard object on top of my face. I slowly get up and stretch and look at foreign object that is now laying peacefully on the carpet. Noticing it's the novel I was reading I realised that I must have fell asleep while reading. I rub my puffy eyes, stifling a yawn and look around the room. I look over at my alarm clock to find out it is seven in the morning.

Oh shoot! I was supposed to call Ben at around six. I jump out of bed and fall flat on my face. I wince in pain but quickly got up and rushed to my laptop. I logged onto skype and video call Ben. Ten rings later Ben picks up, his tired face pops up on the screen.

"You know when people gives a time to call, the other person is expected to call at that time, no earlier and definitely no later!" Ben says while rubbing his red eyes.

"I'm so sorry Ben! My alarm didn't go off so I didn't wake up in time and I had to rush out of bed and call you which let me tell you it hurt a lot!" Ben stops my rambling with an unimpressed look.

"Did I ever tell you how much I love and care about you?" I say sheepishly and as I lay back on my chair attempting to play cool I tumble back and fall off the chair.

"Ouch!"

"Oh Kat what am I going to do with you." Ben asks himself and I poke out my tongue, giving him a cheeky smile.

"Care and love me for a lifetime!"

We talk for a while as I get ready, I give him a tour of the house while he talks about how jealous he is of us, and I even show him Russell. I leave him in my bedroom and quickly have a shower. I have a shower and come out in my robe, looking at my wardrobe I look at Ben seeking for advice. Out of us three Ben and Eva has a great sense of style while there is me who has clue about style, honestly I would pick a sweatshirt and a pair of jeans any day but they scowl at me if I did. He picks the off the shoulder black top and a pair of boyfriend jeans. I wear my choker and pick up my white converses off the floor.

"What do you think?" I ask spinning around slowly showing my whole outfit.

"You look fabulous!" Ben replies with a posh voice and I laugh at him.

"Good because if it weren't for you and Eva I would be walking out of the house with random pair of jeans and sweatshirt every day." Eva softly knocks on the door before letting herself in.

"Speak of the devil! What's the point of knocking if you are going to let yourself in?"

"It's polite and it will indicate if someone is coming!" Eva says and then notices Ben.

"Hey ben!" She says while tucking hr hair behind her ears.

"Hey babe how are you?" Ben replies while starting at her like he's love struck. Aww young love. I grab my school bag and keys giving the young couple some privacy. I grab an apple on the way out and I walk to Grayson door. I swiftly knock on the door, waiting for Grayson to answer, however its Grayson mum who opens the door. Before I can say anything she talks first,

"If you are looking for Grayson, he's not here right now sweetie. He left about ten minute's ago." wait he left me. I smile turns into a frown and Mrs. Miller notices.

"If you want I could drop you off?" She asks politely giving me a pitiful look.

"No it's ok, I'll catch a ride with Eva, thanks for the offer anyway."

"Anytime sweetie!"

She closes the door and I'm left standing in his porch. That inconsiderate idiotic imbecile left me stranded with no ride to school. Luckily Eva gives me a ride to school and I'm grateful that she didn't leave earlier.

I walk down the school halls to my locker to find Zara waiting cheerfully.

"So how did it go, did your parents say yes to keep the dog?"

"Yes, but we have to find his owners if not we can keep him."

"That's great!" Zara replies. We head to lessons and I spot Grayson making out with some blonde girl and I have to fight the urge to gag. So this is the reason why he had to go to school so early. I was paying too much attention Grayson and The blonde girl that I didn't even notice there was a person in front of me and I bashed into their hard chest. His and mine books scatter all over the floor and everyone's turns their attention to us.

"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going and then suddenly you were there and I was here and we collided and now, well you know what happened. Sorry I'm rambling when I panic or nervous I have a tendency to start talking a lot and then I start to blurt out facts which will probably happen in a..." The guy I bashed into cuts me off with a dazzling smile and I stop talking at once. I go down to reach our books the same time he does and we bump heads.

"Ouch!" We both say at the same time. We look up at each other and start to smile.

"Jinx!" We say together again and it keeps going until I cracked up laughing unable to say Jinx.

"I won!" He exclaims happily and I laugh even more at childish side.

"Only because I couldn't contain my Laughter."

"Well a win is a win." I notice his British accent and I smile. I'm not the only one. "What's your name?" He asks.

"My name is..."

"Kat, Let's go!" Grayson says loudly in my ear. When he notices that I'm not willing to move, he grabs my hand and drags me with him. I try to get him off of me but he is stronger than. He drags us to homeroom but I suddenly stop.

"Get off of me you big slug!" I yell hitting him on the chest.

"That's a new one." He says commenting on my new name.

"You had no right to drag me away, I was actually making a new friend, considering I need some as I have only one!"

I glare at him and storm off but he easily caught up with me.

"Wait are you mad at me?" He asked looking absolutely clueless.

"Of course I am you idiot!"

"Umm... why?" He asks scratching the back of his head as if trying to remember what he did wrong.

"You left me stranded at home, I had no lift and I was lucky enough that Eva didn't leave for school yet!"

"Oh I forgot about that!" He answers sheepishly.

"Oh don't worry about it!" I say sarcastically. "It's not like we are friends or anything. You know what you don't have to talk to me, so let's go back to how things were before when you were a popular guy who had nothing to do with me and I'm the unnoticeable new girl because we don't have to be friends and I don't want to, you obviously don't want to be my friends so it's a win win!" hurt flashes across his face but he hides it quickly but that doesn't make me forget his face. He turns away from me walking out of my life and I don't know if I've done the right thing or a bad thing.
