Obsession

Chapter 5

"Wow so you kissed Carlos!" Jenny blurted out. I hit her leg giving her a annoyed look. It was Monday and I was back at the hell hole. Today I decided to walk to school and take a break from the Nausea and also to avoid Carlos. Jenny and I walked in the hall it was beginning of the day. I was filling her in about what happened this weekend. Yet she was stuck on this part. I can't believe my weekend was eventful normally I just was bored to death. "And your dad slapped The shit out of you?" she asked. I nodded a bit annoyed, her saying it pissed me off more. "Can't you call CpS .. isn't that abuse," Jenny said looking over at me. I had almost forgot Jenny was adopted and her parents never hit her for some reason. On the other hand my parents would knock me out if I smart mouthed them and Saturday was just a reminder. "No, because they are my parents... if It wasn't my dad. I'd never let anyone hit me." I said aggressively.

Jenny shook her head and turned to her locker. I along side went to my locker. We had been locker neighbors for this year. It was easy because if I had forgotten something she could get it for me easily. I pulled out my books I need for the day and abruptly closed my locker. "Hey, look it's your girlfriend." Someone behind me was saying. I ignored the voices. "Stewart Shut up" I could hear some one say. Instantaneously I turned around trying to be causal. I needed to know if they were talking about me. They were standing in front of me just staring. Stewart had a soft smile on. "Hey, Megan ... that's it right." I smiled. Stewart just said my name. I dazed out for a little bit. My palms began to sweat and shake. I felt a shove from the right of me. I looked over to see Jenny still standing there. I instantly tried to answer the question. "Yea that's right." I said in my seductive voice. "And she is not my girlfriend," Carlos chimed in. I was kind of gracious he cleared that up. I didn't know if he was saying that rudely although. "Really then Megan's single," Stewart asked raising an eyebrow . He said my name again, my stomach began to knot up in tiny rolls. I nodded. "Good to hear," he said with a wink. I almost fainted. The words I wanted to say wouldn't come out. I just smiled like a idiot. Then he spoke again. I almost fell his voice made me weak. I never felt like this before. "Who's this," he said referring to Jenny. Jenny popped up and looked over at me. Obviously wanting me to introduce them. "Jenny. Her name is Jenny. His names Stewart." I said dryly wanting him to pay attention to me again. I wasn't trying to be selfish but I just was. Jenny nudged me again. I peered over a her, she was looking like a monkey with her eyes so widely open. "I can't believe this is him," she mouthed covering the Side of her mouth. I stepped on her foot turning back to Stewart. I saw the conversation going to an end and quickly tried to prolong it. "She said where do you guys each lunch and that we should meet up." I couldn't help it. I put words in her mouth but she owed me. I didn't even turn to see her shocked face. I did notice Carlos's shocked face though. " You can't eat with us," Carlos rudely stated. My heart sunk quicker then the titanic. I looked back to Stewart. He seemed to be smiling. "Meet us back here at lunch if you really want to. " Stewart said. Carlos bumped his shoulder. They both had a short mouthed conversation. I turned to Jenny who rolled her eyes at me but didn't say a word. "Okay it's a deal." I finally said holding out my hand to shake his. I never shake hands but I had to see. I wanted to see what he felt like. He stared at my hand awkwardly then smiled and shook it. His hand was warm and soft like a bear. Or what I imagined a bear felt like. I would have never let go if the bell hadn't rang. Then we went one way and they went the other. I just wanted to go the way stewart went. "That's the love of your life." I instantly heard from my side. Jenny had a disgusted face on. She laughed, "We are not meeting them for lunch. " I stopped walking to plead my case ,"What why not, they are not bad," I whimpered. Jenny rolled her eyes," Those a like the Thugs of the School. I might be blunt but I'm not naive. I will not eat with them." I smiled knowing she would cave in. If I offered the right things. " Why are you smiling, I said I'm not and that's final!"
