The Complications of Having a Guy Best Friend

Chapter Six

I apologize in advance for any grammatical or spelling errors!

(UnEDITED CHAPTER]*

Atlinski had agreed to let me decide whether or not Calvin could be my partner. I think he trusted me with this decision because he knew just how picky I was. I mean, sure, Calvin could play, and amazingly, but he had a mouth that ran miles. That's more of a me problem, though. I'll just have to see.

Class had ended and I was on my way to the library when someone bumped my shoulder coming from behind me. I turned around with narrowed eyes and furrowed eyebrows. Calvin raised his hands up in surrender.

"Don't attack." He said, playfully.

My anger simmered quickly and I shook my head.

"Calvin, you should really be careful. I've been here for too long to not punch you in the face." I shrugged.

"Noted. Where ya headed?"

"Library."

"Why?"

"Study."

"For what?"

"Calvin."

"What?"

"Your questions."

"What about them?"

I gave him a look. "Stop asking them."

He sighed. "Fine."

"Thank you."

I pushed through the library doors and Calvin was still following me. "Hey, Ms. Tori." I greeted the librarian. She waved back. I would come in here regularly if I wasn't ready for a test to read a book and she would let me stay, even give me a pass. She also knew that my study hall consisted of 99% sleep and 1% touching the textbook I was supposed to be studying from.

I went to my usual seat that I normally sat at alone, but was with company this time. I sat down and pulled out my math textbook. I open up the book, breathe deeply, and put my head down.

Calvin walks around the table to stand in front of me and I peek through one eye.

"Yes?"

"Studying?"

"Yep. Same time everyday."

He laughed softly and shook his head. He took a seat facing me. I close my eyes again but I can feel his eyes on me. Without opening my eyes, I say, "aren't you supposed to be in class?"

"Lunch period."

"Well, shouldn't you be eating?"

"I ate already. Not hungry."

His stomach let out a soft growl that seemed to echo throughout the silent library. My eyebrows shot up and I peek through an eye again. He looks away as if veering my attention elsewhere. "Two."

"Two what?"

"Lies." I prop my head up with my hands.

He looked confused but I waved it off. As much as I hated being interrupted from my naps, I didn't feel at rest knowing he was starving. I let out a heavy sigh mentally. I get up, grab my bag, and walk away. "Come on." I say.

"Where are you going now?"

"Lunch."

"Why?"

"To strip."

More confusion on his face, but he followed anyways. I walk between the tables with the clutters of Lakewood high students. I heard Calvin say something but he was drowned out by the chatter of the lunchroom. I was coming close to the lunch line when I notice the twins to the left. I walk up to Evan and mess with his black curls.
