We sat in a booth by the windows casually eating our food. A few students from our school walked past us. They glanced over and looked confused as to why the school bully was laughing with me, the new kid that he had tackled out of his seat the first day that they were at the school. I glanced over at the group of kids, who had stopped walking to get a better look, they snickered.
"Isn't that? It totally is!" someone exclaimed from behind the glass. Eli looked up over at them. They all went silent. He smirked and nodded down the street. The group left.
"Probably the only benefit to hanging out with me." Eli mumbled. I shrugged.
"Nah, your company is a benefit to my mental health." i stated without looking up.
"Stop jokingly flirting with me." Eli snapped "it's starting to bother me."
"Bother you? Is it because i'm a guy? Or is it because it's me?" i asked
"Both." Eli stated i chuckled.
"That doesn't make me want to stop. In Fact, you telling me to stop makes me want to continue flirting with you." i stated leaning forward in my seat.
"Why?" he asked "how is flirting with me any different from flirting with any other guy?"
I snorted "you won't deck me in the face for calling you good looking."
For the time that i have been here i have tried to keep my accent settled into something lighter, not this thick pile of rubbish. But talking to Eli tends to do this thing to my mind where i forget what i'm doing and or, how to do it. Usually when he gets to close i forget how to breathe and my chest gets tight, while my throat goes dry. When he touches me, my heart forgets how to work and rapidly beats after skipping a beat, my face forgets what color it's supposed to be and it turns red. But of course, the girls love it when i talk to Eli, i don't think about my accent when i'm around him and i'll talk for an extended period of time before dying away so he can spout a thought.
"Well i wouldn't hit a friend let alone anyone that is gay or anyone showing the slightest interest in me. Unless there were doing it in such a manor, like this morning." Eli stated. I nodded leaning back in my seat.
"Then i should make it a normal thing to flirt with you then" i stated
"Please don't." Eli said
"Too bad, i'm gonna." i said enthusiastically.
