Living reality

Chapter 5- Wasn't expecting that

I followed Imogen to the courtyard behind the college. Imogen sat down on the bench and patted the spot next to her. I sighed and went to sit down. She turned and looked expectantly at me.

"Fine. What do you want to know?"

She squealed and hurled out questions she wanted to know.

"Do you like Will? What do you think of him? Isn't he just gorgeous? What happened this morning? Mia you have to tell me, I wanna know."

She stopped to take a breath.

"Calm down Imogen. Ask me one question at a time."

She smiled and paused to think about what she'd like to know first. After a second she turned to me again.

"Ok, first question. What happened this morning?"

I looked at her quizzically.

"What do you mean? Nothing happened this morning."

She looked annoyed.

"Don't lie to me Mia, I saw Will bend down and whisper something in your ear. What did he say? "

I smiled as I recalled what had happened this morning. Imogen caught me smiling and poked me in the side. Hard.

"Ow idiot, what was that for?"

"You need to stop day dreaming and share the juicy details."

I glared at her.

"He said 'What's your name?' That's all, ok?"

"Hmmm I'll let you off this time, but be warned I'll have to know next time."

I gulped.

"Next question?"

"Do you like Will?"

I tried to think of a response.

"I...uh..yeah I like him, who wouldn't?"

"You know that's not what I meant Mia."

"Yeah I know, but its true. I do like him and who wouldn't? He is gorgeous after all."

"You could say that again."

I smiled and leant back against the wall. Well this is going better than I thought. I waited while Imogen thought of another question.

"Next question then. If you don't like like Will, is it alright if I go out with him?"

I was lost for words. It had never crossed my mind that Imogen might like him. I looked at her face. She was dead serious. Well so much for lying about how I feel- look what I've got myself into now.

"Yeah sure, why wouldn't it be alright? Its not like I own him or anything."

She looked thoughtful.

"Yeah well I just had to check that you didn't like him first."

I forced out a smile.

"Well you're in luck then hey?"

She smiled at me.

"Yeah I am, I'm really glad. I think he is sooooo gorgeous. And I just love his hair. I feel like I want to brush my fingers through it every five minutes."

She looked at me.

"Do you get what I mean?" She saw my face. "Sorry I'm boring you."

I shook my head and smiled.

"No of course not. Its just I've remembered that I had a detention with Miss Crawley about the English I didn't do."

I got up and turned to face her. I smiled.

"I'll be really happy for you if you and Will get together. You'll be really happy I'm sure."

With that I turned and walked away. Time to go to my made up detention.
