“Hey Cherry”, Bradon calls out to me.
“Um for the 4,578 time my name is Kristen. I am not Cherry, Chandler, Kallista or Celeste. None of those girls are me. I am the girl you can never get. Remember now”, I inform Bradon.
“I think that I can change your mind by prom”, Bradon tells me ignoring what I just said.
I roll my eyes knowing I was saving my breath that way.
Just then our principal entered so we got down to business.
“Dr. Clawford are we still going through with the plan to have the eleventh and twelfth grade students have a field trip in New York next week”, Bradon starts the meeting.
That’s how the rest of the student body went. Bradon and I negotiating with our Principal.
When Bradon starts plays his Student Body Representative role is when I realize how he has the demeanor of control.
This is also when I come to the realization that the students picked him for a reason.
Bradon and I have been representatives since 9th grade , and I have never doubted that I could count on him to complete a task on time and thoroughly.
“... we can if Kristen approves”, I hear Bradon saying nodding at me.
I blink and shyly asks Bradon to repeat.
Bradon gives me a knowing smile and repeats himself.
“I was telling Dr. Clawford that we could have prom on a cruise ship”.
“Oh that seems interesting. I am sure the prom committee should have a say in it though”, I reply.
“Aren’t you the head of that though”, Bradon inquiries.
“Yes but I am not the only member who puts work and effort into it. Thankfully your suggestion should be able to go through since we still have yet to find a location. If it is not rude I would like to text them now so that I can get instant feedback. Of course we might change our opinion if it would be too costly although I am pretty sure our budget can fit it. And it is probably not too late to book it because Maya’s family owns a private cruise ship”, I ramble.
Bradon gives me the “You’re so special and innocent” smile that looks really sad.
“It is okay. Tell me the results tomorrow. Thank you for your time Bradon and Kristen”, Dr. Clawford tells me standing up to leave causing Bradon and I to stand up and watch him leave.
When Dr. Clawford leaves Bradon glances at me and sighs.
I admit this was not one of my better meetings.
I feel ashamed but I am not going to let Bradon try to make me feel bad so I ignore him and leave the office.
“Stop spacing out thinking about me and focus at the subject at hand when we are meeting up. Any other time it is welcomed”, Bradon’s cocky voice is heard.
I whip my head around and face him.
“And you wonder why you are still single”, I mutter more to myself than to him.
But I know he heard me.
“Because I have my eyes set on you. Let me walk you home and tell you why”,Bradon says too smoothly.
Can I tease him?
