The Red Cat

Chapter 3: What the Hell?

You feel as though kissing here was a huge mistake, everyone was staring at you and you attracted way too much attention. Everyone thought of you as cold, antisocial and rather mysterious in school, now they think you're some kind of Romeo. What the hell were you thinking!? You sat there in silence with her, looking away from one another awkwardly. You decide it's best to move when the bus stops. You don't know exactly what your plan is, but you know that you can't stay in the spotlight like this. You move away from her at the next stop, making sure nobody kept watching. Thankfully, they all stopped caring after five minutes. What made you like her wasn't only how cute she was, but she was also kinda dark and she had teased you before.

When you get to school, you see a new student being bullied by the jerks on the football team. You step in and take the beating for the kid, left hook, right hook, even a kick at your chest. Nothing really fancy or even painful to you. After a while, they get bored of you not fighting back, and walk away. You look to the new kid, he's around your height and even had red hair too. You notice that he has a Red Cat Lunchbox Deluxe(TM) with him. You try not to let your cringe be visible as you get up. You introduce yourself to the new kid and he thanks you, telling you how you were a hero to him. It's all things you heard in your red dress already, but you pretend it's the first time you heard it for his sake. He might be useful to you, he's taking a couple programming and code classes so maybe, just maybe, he might be a good sidekick. You joke that the red cat is your girlfriend and that the purple fox is all over you, he didn't seem to think you were kidding until you explained it. 

That's when you see her, the same girl you kissed on the bus, walking over! She seemed to have overheard your conversation with the new kid and she was giggling pretty hard and asked you what she meant to you then. Though your first kiss with her was awkward, it seemed that just maybe she liked you too. She let out a cute giggle and smiled at her remark as the new kid asked if you knew her, you explain that she's a girl that you like, but aren't sure if she likes you back. The kid laughed softly as he looked between you and the girl.

Eh, what the hell. If you haven't lost you should call it a win.
