quirky kisses

chapter 3

I follow him over to the living room, and Claire's smile quickly fades at the sight of me. he's still holding my wrist still. I mutter "er, um...your hand." he looks at me, then at his own hand. I feel the return of heat in my cheeks. "sorry." he is rubbing the back of his neck again. Is he nervous? probably because Claire saw. "babe come sit by me!!" Claire bounces up and down on the couch and pulls him down next to her. "so, um, your name seems to always slip my mind." I actually hate her. "Ronny." this time Jace says it for me. "sorry Ronny, so. how long have you been living here?" I slowly unclench my jaw. the adults and little ones left the living room already. "about a month." her smile is evil. "mmhhm. and what grade are you in? do you know what school your going to yet?" I push my glasses back up the ridge of my nose. "im a sophomore, and I'll be going to Ridgeway highschool." her smile quickly fades when I mention the school's name. Jace speaks. "that's my sc-" Claire elbows him. "ugh. I mean, that's our school." yay! -_-

by the end of the night I have discovered that Claire is a cheerleader, she is a sophomore as well, and she knows how to hide hatred way better than I do. "hey, Jace?" he looks away from Claire and over to me. "yeah Ronny?" "I'm going to go home now okay?" he gives me a slight frown. "yeah okay." as I'm walking back to my house, Samantha joins me. "Claire's something else." I completely agree with her. "was she mean to you again or no?" "nooo. I think she didn't like me at first because she thought that I like him. once I told her I don't she was really sweet." I just lied right through my teeth. she kept giving me dirty looks and she was really kissy with him in front of me, and she made fun of my glasses. she tried to convince me to wear them to school, but I knew she was playing me. this has been a long night. "oh ok! well that's good." Samantha' s smile looks genuine and meaningful. "yeah, so I'm just going upstairs to my room and watch a movie or something." "okay Ron Ron. see ya tomorrow!"

once I'm upstairs I grab my diary and write out my feelings and even draw a picture of Claire. I mean I got her spot on! I even remembered to put the fangs and devil horns! after I'm done writing I put my diary on my nightstand. I then turn the lights off and drift to sleep.

beep beep beep. my alarm wakes me up at six a.m. I've been getting up early because  school is coming soon, and I want to be used to getting up early. speaking of school coming soon, it starts tomorrow. I get ready. I straighten my hair, and put on a plain white t-shirt, with some light skinny jeans and some white flip flops. my hair is in my signature messy bun, and I'm still being forced to wear my glasses. I hear the doorbell ring! I run downstairs and open the door. the delivery guy is hot, but I don't really care, because my contacts are here! I grab them and call for my mom. "mother hot delivery guy needs you to sign for my contacts!" he chuckles and I blush realizing what I just said. my mom comes and signs for them and starts to flirt. wow! then he starts to flirt back! what the what! oh forget them! I run upstairs and get everything ready. I put my contacts on and then make my way back downstairs. hot delivery guy is gone and I go to the cabinet and grab some honey bunches of oats with almonds. yummy!!

we just kind of lounge around the house all day. while I'm in the middle of deciding if this is the most bored I've ever been or not I receive a text. it's from Jace! 'hey, I've been dying to see that new movie blended. wanna come with me?' I'm dying right now! instead I say: 'yeah sure :)' I run upstairs and grab a sweater. I receive another text 'don't forget to wear your glasses ;)' I chuckle to myself and run back upstairs. I take out my contacts and put on my glasses. "hey mom can Jace and I go watch a movie?" surprisingly she said yes. "ok dear, I trust you not to do anything stupid!" "haha k."

once we get to the movie theater and he parks. then he looks at me and asks if I'm ready. "yeah, totally! I love Adam Sandler and I love Drew Barrymore!" he smiles and says "me too." when we reach the desk to ask for the tickets there is a girl working the counter. she is wearing dark make up and is chewing her gum obnoxiously! "hey, can we get two tickets to see the movie blended?" I take my wallet out from my pocket and he touches my shoulder. "what do you think you're doing?" I chuckle and answer with, "I'm paying for my ticket, duh!" he smirks and then takes my wallet from my hands. "you are not paying for your ticket!" "ugh. fine! But I'm paying for snacks!" he chuckles then responds. "no. you're not. I've got it." I cross my arms and stick my tongue out at him. "whatever." he sticks his tongue out at me too. just then the ticket lady clears her throat letting us know that we're holding up the line. Jace quickly pays for our tickets and then buys one large soda, a bag of popcorn and two pickles. "why did you only get one drink?" I really was wondering. "because it's cheaper than buying two....I can grab two straws if it bothers you that much." he wants us to share?? "No, that's fine."

after the movie is over he takes me home. I wonder if Claire knows that we went to the movies today... I go upstairs and write about today in my diary. after that I go to sleep and dread tomorrow.
