The Gifted Curse

8: AfterMath

A few weeks pass and as this time passes, I realize a couple of things. 

1) I'm a super big Voltron fan

2) Parties are my new favorite thing

3) When you chug a guy's cup of water in front of his friends you will forever be nicknamed 'Water Girl'

4) I no longer hate my life

Over the past five or so weeks, Dillon and I spent a lot of time together. We played video games all night long then he would drive me home. We'd go out with his friends... since I didn't have any. Dillon would come over to my house to have dinner with my mom. Then we'd watch a movie while my mom worked on her book. Snuggling seemed to be our new favorite thing and I couldn't help but think that things would only get better from here. October was approaching and so was my time to shine in front of all my new friends.

I rest my head on my arms as Ms. Fredman drones on about something I don't think she even wants to be teaching. I sigh and peer out the window. I'm so bored and all I want to do is sleep. I yawn and lick my lips. Jeez, could this class go on any longer? I turn my head and now set my eyes on Dillon. He's trying to pay attention but keeps getting distracted by something. His fingers are in his lap and he's twiddling them back and forth. "Olivia, could you stop staring at me?" Dillon whispers and his eyes glance at me out of the corner of his eye. I smile and shake my head

"Nope, I don't think I can." I grin and reach out my foot to kick Dillon's desk. A loud screech sounds and nearly the whole class looks at Dillon. He blushes and laughs lightly. 

"Sorry." He whispers and then glares at me. "Olivia I swear to God,"

"It's not right to swear to God," I reply back with an amused look. Dillon sticks out his bottom lip and I cover my mouth and try to repress the urge to giggle at how adorable he is. Dillon then glares at me with his beautiful eyes and I raise my brows. "What?" I question. Dillon presses his lips into a thin line. 

"You're a bully," He whines. I roll my eyes and sigh. 

"I am not a bully." I shoot back, quirking a brow. Dillon shakes his head and makes his bottom lip quiver. 

"You're abusive." He points at me and starts to alligator cry. I pinch the bridge of my nose then get a brilliant idea. I know exactly how to make him stop. I grin and reach over to Dillon's desk. He looks up at me through his lashes and I take a deep breath in before I speak. 

"But I thought you liked it rough." I close my eyes half-lidded and try to look sexy. The muffled laugh that escapes Dillon's mouth proves that I failed. I roll my eyes and puff out my cheeks. 

"And you say I'm the mean one." I decide to go back into my arm burrow and stay there until the class is done, but Dillon has other ideas. 

Mind if I ask you something?

I roll my eyes. Well since you're already in my head, why don't you? I hear a small chuckle from the seat next to me and can't help but smile. 

Well as you well know Katie's birthday is coming up pretty soon.

I smirk and close my eyes. Yeah, her birthday is the day before Halloween. Why do you mention it? 

Well, she was thinking of having a party and wanted to make sure you were invited.

 I smile and feel my insides warm. I can't believe I had found friends that actually wanted to hang out with me. I let out a happy sigh. 

And don't go thinking that it was all Katie's idea.
