Slow And Steady

Chapter:4

I walked into class with everyone taking to one another. I went and sat down and took my book out. I started reading untill Mr.Gatsberg came in. People shuffled back to their seats.

I see Greg rushing into class and I suddenly look away. He see's the empty seat next to me and and sits down.

Mr.Gatsberg starts calling out names to make sure we were present.

Greg leans to my side. " What's up with the weird faces he's making"

I look back at Mr.Gatsberg and back to Greg " He always does that when anybody is absent" I say with a giggle.

He smirked. Oh how good he looked like that....

After Mr.Gatberg finished explaining, the bell rang and everyone started walking outside.

When Biology came, we all sat with out partners. We talked about the different types of cells in our body and the work that it does.

" Hey listen, I kind off left my phone at your place yesterday, I guess?" I whispered to him all of a sudden.

" Oh yeah, just a second" He stuffed his hand in his bag and finally took out my phone.

" Thanks" I said relieved. He replied with a simple nod and a smile.

" By the way, you are coming right? like, for the project?" I looked back at him.

He looked up, and then at me and nodded. I looked back on the board and started writting down the uses of cells.

"Hi! Welcome to Starbucks, what would you like to have?" I say to the middle aged couple

" Alright is that all? We'll have it made in just a few moments" I smiled and gave the order.

I hear the bell on the door ring and I look to who it is. Of course, Liam, but he's alone this time.

" Hi, what can I get you?" I asked him politely. " yeah i'll just have a coffee" he smiled at me. He looked sad though. Wonder why.

after a few moments I gave him the coffee but he just kept looking at it as though he was just day dreaming.

" Anything wrong with the coffee?" I asked him, knowing nothing was wrong, I just wanted to intrude and know what happened. I liked gossip alright.

He snapped out of his day dream. " Oh no, its okay, I just, went out for a bit." He said chuckling.

come on Liam! tell me what the hell is wrong!

After fifteen minutes of him sipping and sulking I went slowly towards him.

" Is there likem something bothering you, or something? like I know we don't know each other that well, but, um, are you like, all right?" I asked him unsure of his reaction

He looked at me and narrowed his eyes. " Why are girls so weird?" He said.

I instantly felt embarrased. " Oh,sorry, I just thought that you were bothered or something"

he looked at me confused and then realization hit him. " Oh, no, I didn't mean you, I ment in general, they all are so weird. They just get so pissed about random stuff, it drives me insane." he sounded a little stressed out.

I sighed. " We aren't weird... we just.. well, we don't really agree on stuff I guess, and most girls have their ego stuck in front of them." I said and he just gave me a weird look

" well, they don't always have to be right to save their pride" he says looking back at his coffee.

we then spent a lot of time talking about how Danielle got upset with him because he kept telling her he would pay for her meals, and drinks, when they went out for dates. It took him a while to realise that she just didn't like the fact that he was always in control.
