Lunch Period

I've let you guys know that I'm not all that social in many ways already and I'm not sure if it would surprise you how much my circle of friends have expanded. Mark, Rob (Newish dude), Jomy, and... MD. What? Were you expecting his name? Ha! May your curiosity burst. So we all walked out to our favorite hot dog cart. The hot dog dude, or as MD likes to call him, Wiener Dude was pretty chill. We sat in the white plastic chairs and gobbled down hot dogs. The best I've ever eaten in forever. I finished my first and ordering my second when MD suggested I have hot sauce in it. Note to self: Never listen to MD. He had the most terrible ideas and yet I was falling like an apple from a tree for him. 

"Son of a bitch! That's hot!" 

"I know I am." MD said. 

My eyes narrowed at him and I made the mistake of saying what I was thinking. "Fuck you."

"When and where?" He gave me a goofy grin that made me melt and I just pretended to be annoyed at him. The days pretty much went like that ever since we all became friends. Friends... Friends. FRIENDS! I wanted to kick him every time he called me a friend yet flirted with me. I'm a violent person. It used to be worse but being around this guy made me want to throw tables at people. We all know I'm no Hulk but I'll use a shoe instead if need be. 

"You like to mess with me." MD only smiled and I wanted to slap the smile off his face. 

After that nothing important really happened. I went home, I showered. The ordinary stuff. A couple of days later is when I almost dropped dead. 

Friday, Lunch Period

We all set out to each but the hot dog cart wasn't there today so we all agreed to have lunch at the Burger King that was only a few feet away from the sidewalk where the hot dog car should be. Once in we ordered and sat in a both with Jomy beside me and MD facing me while Rob faced Jomy. We ate and talked while we waited for it to be time to go back to school. MD and I were having a fight underneath table with our legs. Nothing cute or romantic. It was down right annoying, specially when his legs trapped me and he forcefully tugged them towards him. My who body was dragged from the seat and I nearly fell to the floor and under the table. They took that as an opportunity to mess with me and teas. 

"Not in front of the children." Rob said and I wanted to kick him as well but even though he was following along with the joke he looked angry, or upset. I'm not sure which but I disregarded the thought when MD stole my Pirate's of the Caribbean key. Rob slid out his chair and MD ran out with my key. I loved that thing and I hurried Jomy to get out so I could go rescue it. MD was much faster than me so I slowly caught up to him. He ran up a hill and to an entrance that leads to a house the was in ruins. He held the key up high and challenged me to take it from him. I tried. We were alone and that idea didn't register with me until a little later when I noticed his sly smile. He was waiting for me to do something but I was too much of a coward. I also felt wrong. Being up here alone, hiding like as if what we were doing was wrong. I couldn't shake the feeling. 

The weekend couldn't go by any slower. I spent it in my room listening to music or talking to Jomy. On Saturday I got a call from MD late at night and my heart raced as if it was trying t win a competition with my brain to see which reacted first. My heart always won and I could feel it as it almost pumped right out of my chest. 

"Hello?"

"Heeeeeyyy." He dragged out his greeting like he always did. 

"Hey, MD" I didn't actually call him that. "How are you?" 

"It's all good. All good how bout you?" 

"Good."

The conversations were never properly like they should be where we both had something to say beside hi or cool. It did always end up with sexual chit chat though. He was always trying to make me be sexy and but I never could. Granted I knew I was terrible at talking on the phone in general so I knew that if I attempted something even remotely sexy I would fail instantly. I always liked just listening to me so whenever he'd get tired of talking to me and tried to find a way to get rid of me it always made me so mad and upset. 

"So I'm gonna go so you can do your thing." MD said.

"I have nothing to do really. But if you need to go then ok." 

"Alright. Well goodnight."

"Goodnight." 

It was always the same thing. I never understood why he would call me anyway. It was  mystery. One I will never figure out so I really hope you, as the reader, do no get your hopes up because in this part of the story there are many disappointments. 

So the weekend was over and I would never know how to feel about that anymore. I'd always be excited because I'd see my friends and MD but I also would feel sad and confused. I prepared myself for Monday and my heart sank to my feet when I found out that MD did'd come to school. I was slowly falling for an idiot. Days passed and he would still flirt with me, make me think he was into me. I believed it of course. I wanted to be with me more than anything in the world. He was my first love after all. I felt things for him I've never felt before and with that said let's continue with the rest of the story. I know you all must be waiting for the one thing I keep avoiding. I know. I'm a reader too. I've had that feeling of "Shut up about how everything looks and feels and just tell me what I want to know." I sympathies with you, reader. I really do. 

Let's skip most of the drama and go straight to what everyone wants then. Did MD and I ever get together?
