In All Shapes and Sizes

Chapter Five

NINA

 I thought that maybe he was holding back before. But I was wrong. He went down just as easily the first time. I could see some guy laughing out of the corner of my eye. Everyone else just stared.
Is he really this weak, I thought. I took a deep breath. Once he was on his feet again, I was ready.
 "Ok," I said, "now that I have beaten you again, I want you to keep your promise and do whatever I say for the next week." He sighed in disappointment. At the beginning of the match, we made a bet that whoever lost the match had to do whatever the loser said for a week.
"Fine, fine" I smiled, victoriously. He grunted. A thought occurred to me.
"Oh by the way what's your name?" I asked. He looked at as if to say, 'are you freaking kidding me!' I wasn't. I'm bad with names, directions, and all academic subjects. The only thing I'm actually good at is Tae Kwon Do.
"It's Ian." he grunted.
"Ok then," I looked at the clock. It was 3:25. Everyone started packing up. "Now you have to take me home!"
"What?" he said. Oh, the look on his face was priceless.
"It'll take forever for me to walk home so you need to drive me home for this week." I explained. He sighed and grabbed his stuff. As he led me to where his car was, I heard him swearing under his breath.
Ha, serves you right! I thought.

IAN

Oh no. I can not believe she is actually making me do this. How much does she have to humiliate me before she's satisfied? She's absolutely insane. A pure devil.

We got to my car which was in the far corner of the front parking lot. I told her to hop in and she did. She literally hopped in, like a bunny. When I got in the driver's seat, I realized that she was really short when she sat down. She put her backpack in front of her on the floor, which was much to big for her in my opinion, and sat cross-legged in her seat. That just made her look even smaller. She looked at me.

 "What are you looking at?" I hadn't even realized that I was staring. I snapped my head away.

"Nothing" Nina shrugged and looked out the other window as I drove out of the parking lot. As we drove, I realiazed something.

"Hey, Where's your house?" I asked. She looked irritated by the question.

"I don't know." She said.

Wait, what? "If you don't tell me, I can't take you home, you know." No respopnse. "Or I could just let you off here. Then you could wa-" She cut me off.

"Shut up!" She yelled. "Just go that way!" She pointed to the right and I did as she instructed. After that we didn't say much. She just kept pointing and telling me where to go. I looked at the clock and realized that almost an hour past.

"Hey, where are we?" I asked, "are you sure your house is here?" She just looked irritated. "don't tell me we're lost." Silence. "Look, if you don't know where we are then just give me your address and I'll use the maps app to find your house." She just nodded her head.

"10 Lincoln lane. In Bay Grove." She said. Now I was irritated.

"Are you kidding me? That's right down the road from the school!" I snapped, "Hell, that's the same road that I live on! You're unbelievable!"

"Well I just moved here, so I don't know my way around here." She retorted.

"Then look on a map!" I let out a huff and started back home.

It didn't take me long to figure out which house was hers. The house still had the SOLD sign out in the front. I parked out front and Nina jumped out of the truck with her over-sized back pack.

"Thank you." She said. It was more like a whisper, but I could still hear her. Then she shut the door and ran into her own house. I sat there for a moment, comprehending what just happened. My hand pressed itself against my forehead. 

"Tch. Weird girl."
