The boy who could fix

Chapter 5- (Hell)o Monday

"Chapter 5-(Hell)o Monday

I have been thinking much about how each and every one has their own personality,

and how they are unique.

This week I have met different people and seen many personalities, in just one week. It's funny to see how people react to certain situations. If you take Cole and Steve for example, they both have been exposed to a social humiliation this week,

caused by me,

but their reaction was different. Yeah both reacted with anger first, but the difference comes after. Cole became angry just for a minuet before he became his old superior self. But Steve just seems to not mange to lay it behind him. To get over it. 

I think Steve seeks for revenge because he is so insecure with him self. He has to prove to everyone and himself that he is "cool" by getting revenge on me. But Cole just knows he is "cool",  he don't need to prove it to anyone. He knows that I'm not worth it, not worth getting back at. 

I don't know why, but I find that very fascinating.

---------------------

"Well now I have spent 500$ more than I actually own" I say as we get seated in the cafe. 

The floor around our chairs and table is full of shopping bags. We have done some hardcore shopping I can tell ya.

"You and me both, darling. You and me both." Chris says.

It becomes silent for a minuet while we stare at the bags around us, wondering if we should regret on all the money we have just spent.

Nhaa

We order some coffee and relax our arms and legs after the hard activity we have just been exposed to.

"So Val how do you like our new school so far?" Chris asks with an interviewers voice.

"Well reporter" I start. 

"You see I enjoy it quite well. Always some action going on. Either it's a boy or two killing you with their gaze, a girl who needs to be saved by yogurt or a football jerk claiming to have been sleeping with you."

"Heey!" Chris says while she hits me friendly on the arm. Certainly offended by the yogurt thing.

"Sorry, did't know the yogurt thing still was a sore theme." 

"Anyway" Chris starts. "Any cute boys?" She continues with a big grin and a quizzical glance. 

I give out a little sarcastic chuckle. I come to think about Steve and Cole.

" I have not had the best luck with the boys so far. It seems like every time I say something I end up being on their black list."

"You have just not met the right guys. And they don't have you on a "black list" Val, thats pathetic. Except maybe Steve, he hates your guts and maybe even your hole existent right now." She tries to comfort.

She could have avoid saying the last sentence.

Moving away from Steve I intend to ask her some question about Cole. They are not friends, not that I have seen. But maybe she could give me some answers.

"What's the deal with Cole, is he always so moody?" I ask before I take a sip of the strong coffee.

Chris looks at me with questing eyes. I have told her a little about our situation and where we stand. But still she looks like a question mark. Or like i have just asked her the dumbest and the most obvious question of all time.

"What do you mean?" she finally speaks. 

"What I mean is that Cole has some serious mood swings."I say with a little bit of anger.

I aways get a little frustrated when I think about Cole, it frustrate me how I can't seem to understand him. I like really don't know how to behave around him, and that irritates me. Should I just leave him alone or should I talk to him? He gives me mixed signals.

She drops her question mark grimace and take a sip of her coffee before she speaks.

"He is just complicated."

"Well hell yeah he is. First he ignores me and makes me feel like an annoying little sister, and then he talks to me like we are... Friends."

Even though he frustrate me and confuse me, I can't seem to let him go, even though I want to. I feel like getting to know him, learn about him. Dig under the surface. See whats behind the arrogant and moody boy. But I don't know how. Or if he is even worth my time, cause clearly I'm not worth his. I think. 

This taught scares the living shit out of me. Am I getting a little obsessive? Or even worse, getting a crush on him?

Chris notice my distance and starts the conversation again.

"But what about Jacob?"

Coming back to planet earth and in present time I answer,

"Jacob?"

"Yeah, I saw you guys talking by the locker yesterday, for the record I have seen you talk by the lockers everyday, are you guys like a thing." she asks. She is suddenly very enthusiastic, does she like him?

"No no, we are just friends. He was the first one to introduce himself to me. By the way he is a player."

"I know that, that is why I was wondering" she is quick to say. I can see her cheeks getting a little blushy. She does like him.

Jacob is that type of guy who sleeps around, and he is not shy about it. Quite the upside actually. Every time we stand by the locker and a girl he has slept with comes by he is quick to point her out and say that they have slept together. I have lost the count after 8.

------------------

(Hell)o Monday.

The weekend past by very fast. To fast. 

After the shopping trip with Chris I have just been home doing homework. Apparently you still have to catch up your homework after your mom take suicide. Not that it actually traumatized me so bad that I can't do it. It's that I have a month of work to catch up with because the sick house didn't let me do anything there. 

It's now lunch time. As Chris and I are about to go to our usual table, a handsome smiling blondie walks up to us. 

"Hey, Jacob. Whats up" I say to him.

Chris standing beside me is beginning to heat up.

"Hey ladies" He says to us. First getting eye contact with me and than with Chris.

I can see her trying so hard not to blush, or die from his goddess present.

"I, or we" he looks back on his friends seated on the table behind him and than back at us.

"was wondering if you would like to sit with us." he continues.

"what a privilege, what do you say Chris?" I ask her.

"Yeah of course!.. I mean, yeah cool." She says blushing.

Then I find Jacob admiring her awkwardness and blushing. He gives her  his handsome smile and a laugh.

To be continued.....
