Wyatt and Wendy

Chapter 24

        The name Annie has been dispelled from our minds. After Matthew and I got back together we fell back into normal routines, it was as if we hadn’t missed a beat. He planned amazing dates, and never failed to compliment me. It may have seemed that he was overdoing it at times but he had weeks of heart break to make up for. We have been together for a week, Charlotte’s hair was back to blond, Roxy and Wyatt were going strong, and our focus was shifted to prom and finals. Everything was normal, I was normal.

        On Friday, we were having lunch in the quad and discussing the top three dance movies of all time (3. Save the last dance, 2. Footloose, 1. Dirt dancing). Those were my picks "wait you like Dirty Dancing better that Footloose?" Jake asked as if he just could not believe it, I nodded "Footloose is great but Dirty Dancing is chart topper the dances are just something you dream of doing."

"Are you kidding me?"

 "Haven't you ever wanted to try the lift and see how it feels up there?" I said with a dreamy voice

"No I'm a guy.”

I scoffed "no excuse."

"We are going prom shopping tomorrow," Charlotte said interrupting our quarrelling 

"The guy's too," she added

"What?" All three of them said in unison.

"We need someone to tell us if the dress looks good or not." She did not even try to convince them, she just gave them one look and they all nodded their heads. Jake and I returned to our debate, Matthew and Roxy joining in.

"I can't stand that guy" Wyatt belted out cutting into Roxy’s defense of Step up. We all turned toward the direction he was looking. It was Karl walking with Tracy, a girl from one of my classes on his arm, "why?" Mathew asked.

"Because he has a girlfriend and he is supposedly dating Tracy now. I can't even believe you let him feel you up Wendy"

I dropped my fork "he felt you up?" Matthew asked turning to me.

“Uhh…he…” the bell rang signalling the end of lunch. I stood up quickly “don’t want to be late for class, bye” I gave him a peck on the cheek and walked away pulling Charlotte behind me.

"He has a girlfriend oh my firkin gosh." 

"I had no idea" she said trying to keep up with me

 "Didn't you hear anything?" she shook her head "I can't read his mind".

 I stopped in my tracks just in front of the school doors “what, but you’re…how’s that even possible?”

“I have known Karl for a long time and I have read his mind before but ever since he came here I haven’t been able to.”

“So that edge I got from him wasn’t just me giving myself an excuse to like Matthew, there really was something.” I hushed my voice as we neared a crowd of people. We were standing in front of my functions class getting glares from the other students because we were blocking the door. I pulled Charlotte into the class in the corner behind the door, “Do you think he may be supernatural?”

“He’s not” she assured, “but he may be working with one who’s blocking his mind.”

“Working with WHOM on WHAT?” I practically screamed, the class went silent and all eyes turned to us. “Excuse me Miss you are not in this class,” the teacher said to Charlotte. Charlotte smirked sweetly “just a minute. Wendy who cares its nothing that affects us no point fussing about it. Besides you have more things to worry about with the whole Karl felt you up thing.” With that she headed to her class and I went to take a seat trying to figure out what to say to Matthew. But my mind kept fleeting to Karl and Charlotte not being able to read his mind, something far from normal. Maybe normalcy was overrated.  

After classes I made my way to Matthew’s room still not really knowing what to say. I knocked on the door lightly taking deep breaths to calm my raging nerves. 

 "Wendy?" he asked "yeah" I said. I heard his footsteps approach me "sup" he said opening the door, I smiled a little and entered.

 "About the felt up thing" I began right way before I could convince myself not to.

“Don’t bother Roxy explained everything.” 

 My eyes widened "she did?" he nodded.

"Yeah you guys were playing truth or dare and I was being a total dick at the time. 

I smiled and nodded nervously making a mental note to thank Roxy.

"Question though, who's was the better kisser?"

My smile turned sly "um I think you're tied."  

He put his arms around my waist "but I like to win,” he bent down and kissed me.

 "Aren’t you banned from this dorm?" I lowered my voice "then I guess you better lock the door". *click*.

                I balanced on my heels as he leaned in on me. I lost my balance and feel backward but he caught me with his arm and gently lowered me down onto his bed. Grabbing his shirt collar I pulled him closer intensifying the kiss. He wrapped his hand around my shoulder and pulled down my tank strap revealing my neon green bra. I wiggled myself out of the other strap and pulled it down.

        My tank was around my waist his shirt was on the floor and his hands were all over. We stared at each other foreheads touching, noses touching, chests heaving, eyes gazing into each other's, hearts beating in sync. He didn't have to say it, I didn’t have to say it, we just did it.
