The Outcast

Chapter 6

I left the text there and went to bed smiling. Like, why does it feel as if I've know him all my life already? When it's only been a week.

*
It's now Sunday morning. I do my usual, wake up, go to church. Church is packed this Sunday.

I decided to wear my red heel with a blue dress and comb my hair in the low usual puff. As I made my way to sit in my regular pew, I manage to glimpse a familiar face to the back of me. The fuck. I said in my head but then scolded myself quietly because I was at church. But yeah, OMG! It was Charles. I turn around fully and say to him, "So you're stalking me now, aren't you?" He just laid a twisted smile on his face. Weird.

I noticed there was an oldish red head lady sitting next to him, same green, blue eyes. Probably his mother. How come he didn't introduce me? Um..because you guys only started talking for like a week now, Remember? My subconscious needs to shut the fuck up. I ask the questions to myself because I know I can't give myself an answer, but no, I'm fucking crazy.

Church is now over.

I see Charles looking over at me all weird like he's afraid to come talk to me. The heck is up with him. He then came over. " Um, hey," he says while scratching the back of his neck.

"Hey What's up? Who's that you came with?"

"Uh my mom."

"Okay so aren't you going to introduce me?" I giggle.

I see his eyes narrow and his eyebrows crease.

"No."

I started to feel like there was something weighing down my stomach. I felt the distance between us but I couldn't show it, I believed I was too much of a 'G' for that. So I did what I do best, go with the flow then I ended the conversation. I was not going to try too hard with him. What if he's worth it. Oh shut up.

"Okay. Well bye."

I said and turned with my back facing him and took one step going my way when I felt a soft hand meet my arm.

My pores immediately raised.

"Sorry if I seem distant. It's just, my mom is kind of different and I don't want her to ruin anything between us."

Wait, hold up, so we're like boyfriend and girlfriend now? I could feel the excitement building up in my body but I needed to keep my calmest.

"It's okay. So I'll um... See you later?"

"Yeah." He says with a smile while biting his lower lip.

Why would he do that in front of me.
