Thought She Meant The World To Me

Chapter VI

"Tu m'as manqué beaucoup." [I missed you a lot] I say to my french teacher. Who gives me a dirty look underneath his reading glasses, before turning back to the book in front of him.

"Assieds-toi." [Sit down] He says, pointing to my seat. He then turned on some gross french movie about cancer and God. So I played on my phone the rest of the period.

"Kellin!" I hear from behind me when I get into the hall. I turn around and see Mike running towards me, so I wave. "My parents are going away this weekend! Sleepover?" He asks.

"Totally!" I exclaim, fist bumping him.

"Raad. Alright well I'm skipping chem, have fun!" He says rushing down the hall. Always in some kind of rush that guy. I walk into chemistry and actually look forward to having some alone time with Vic.

"Why hello there Victor." I say sliding smoothly into the end seat of our row.

"Kellin." He says staring down at some book. I peek under the cover and read 'Moby Dick'.

"Gay." I say. He looks up at me quickly, kind of a weird reaction.

"Your book." I say pointing at it. He relaxes but tries to cover it with a roll of those stunning brown eyes.

"It's about a whale actually." He explains.

"Yeah, a gay one." I murmur. He either doesn't hear, or ignores me.

"Good talk. Good talk." I say.

"Sh. Reading." He shushes me, holding a finger to my lips. I shove it away and say, "You're such a nerd."

"And you're a...hem nevermind." He says coughing slightly.

"A what?" I ask placing my chin firmly on my palm.

"A doofus." He says.

"Mmm, I don't buy it. What am I? Tell me of my mass glory!" I joke. He doesn't answer so I stick my head between him and his book, making our faces half a centimetre apart.

"Whoa!" He exclaims, backing up.

"Tell me." I say.

He furrows his eyebrows and then something clicks in his brain. "A homosexual." He says plainly and pushes my head past his book. I let out an unimpressed huff and turn my attention to the teacher sitting at her desk. She explains the lesson and gives us textbook pages to study.

"Hey Vic, wanna come to the restroom and not rest?" I suggest lowering my voice and seducingly push his book away.

"I don't see why not. Mike's obviously not showing up." He says; completely shocking me, which I failed to hide as my chin dropped and eyes widened.

"Uh, o-okay." I stutter standing up. I ask Mrs. Hagarty and she nods. I wait outside and surely enough a few minutes later Vic trots out as well.

"Wow Vic, look at you finally deciding to be fun." I bug and we walk down the hall.

"I'm not gonna fuck you, if that's what you're thinking." He says laughing slightly.

"Big shocker there." I sass.

"Am I really that predictable?" He asks as we turn the corner.

"Yep. I've got you all figured out." I respond. He ignores me, as usual.

"So where did Mike head off to today?" He asks looking over at me.

"Don't know. He didn't say." I explain.

"Hm. Probably to blow me off for Austin or something." He says, I hear a harsh hint in his voice.

"Well, I could blow you off to. You know, go downtown." I say looking downwards.
