A Girl Named Sharpie

Part 1: Chapter 8

Recap:

Ok whoa whoa whoa back up Sharpie, there is no need to sound like a girl who is falling in love. Because that...that isn't going to happen.

I felt my phone buzz by my side and I picked it up and unlocked it.

From: Danger

You need to get some sleep. Sweet dreams.

-Danger

I smiled slightly and did just as he said. I let sleep take over.

I woke up the next morning and did my usual routine to get ready and everything was fine and normal until I walked downstairs and saw Danger sitting at my kitchen table laughing at something my mom was showing him.

I walked to the fridge and grabbed the carton of orange juice before getting a cup and going to sit at the table. It wasn't until I got to the table and heard part of what my mom was saying as well as what my mom was holding in her hands.

“- and this one is when she turned two. She just loved cupcakes. Which explains the fat toddler she later came.”

My mom had pulled out the old photo album of my baby/toddler years and was showing them to Danger! I launched myself at my mom and grabbed the album but not before knocking over a couple of cups of orange juice and landing smack in the middle of the platter of eggs.

I stood up when I saw my mom and Dangers horrified looks. We were all covered in eggs and orange juice and my mom did not look happy at all.

“SHARPIE DANIELLE PLOUSE!”

I cringed at the loudness of my moms voice.

“WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? YOU JUST RUINED THIS POOR BOYS CLOTHES.” I looked over at Danger and saw him standing there awkwardly covered in eggs and juice.

My mom pinched the bridge of her nose and then tuned to Danger. “Garrett honey why don't you run over to your house and get changed real quick.”

Danger just nodded his head and went back to his house to change. I started up the steps to get changed myself when my mom’s voice stopped me.

“Sharpie honey why did you do that. You probably scared that poor boy half to death. Now if he is scared of you how are you guys going to get married and give me grandchildren?”

I don't know what creeped me out more, the fact that my mom thinks that or that she just said that to me with a serious face.

“W-what? Mom w-why would you even think that?” I sputtered out in horror.

My mother put her hands on her hips and gave me a look that basically said ‘I am not stupid’. “I know that you like that boy Sharpie. He is the first boy that you have let in your bubble and became friends with.”

I looked at my mom as if she had gone crazy, right now I am questioning if she has to be honest. “Mom I don't like him like that. The only reason he is in my bubble is because he forced his way into it.”

That was sorta the truth. Danger is just the first person that didn't think I was a freak other than Franny. Anyways there is no way I like Danger and I never will. I cant.

“Whatever you say honey. Go get changed because school starts in twenty minutes.” My mom then left me alone thinking and confused on the steps. I shook my head and ran up the steps.
