"Hi" I said and smiled at her. She looked gorgeous as always, but she didn't have her usual dark makeup or clothes on. She wasn't wearing any makeup at all, she only had on a pair of black jeans and an oversized grey t-shirt. I didn't think it was possible for her to look any more beautiful, but here she was, looking like a god sent angel.
"Hey" she said with a faint smile. I got the feeling that something was off.
"Come in" she said and moved away from the doorway. I walked inside the small hallway and looked around. The house looked pretty normal, but it could really use a caring hand. You could easily tell it was an old house. There wasn't anything wrong with it, it had just been a long time since I had been in a house that wasn't spotless and newly redecorated.
"My room is this way" Becca said and walked over to a door, that lead to a staircase down to the basement. I was a bit shocked that she lived in the basement of her own house.
We both walked down the stairs and I was blown away by her room. I don't know what I had expected her room to look like, but somehow it met every one of my expectations.
The walls were painted in a dark blue color with paintings and posters all over them. She had her bed placed in the middle of her room and had different bookshelves on the wall beside it. They were filled with books and pictures in all different colors. On the wall opposite of her bed she a tiny tv and a DVD player placed on a tv stand, with a vinyl player next to it. She had old wooden boxes next to it filled with vinyl records.
"Wow" I breathed as we reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Your room is awesome" I said, and she thanked me. I put down my bag and went over to the boxes of vinyl records she had to look through them.
"I see you collect records?" I said trying to get a conversation going.
My dad had always listened to vinyl when I was younger, but it had been a long time since he had even picked up a record at our house.
"Yeah, I love them" she said and went over to where I was standing.
"Should we put one on?" I asked and looked at her.
"Can't. My record player is broke. The pick-up doesn't work" she said and crossed her arms.
"I'm sorry, that sucks" I said while taking off my jacket.
"Should we study then?" I turned around towards her. She nodded her head.
She sat down on her bed and I followed her lead. I opened my books and took out my computer. She got up from her bed again and went over to her small speakers she had next to her tv. She connected her phone to an AUX chord and started playing music. She went over to me once again and sat with her back against the wall and placed her books on her lab. The soothing sound of an 80's rock melody started playing from her speakers. I had never heard it before, but I liked it.
"So, what are we doing?" she asked.
I started explaining the assignment to her, but I could tell she had trouble understanding some of the things. She didn't say much, she just listened to me which made me worry a bit. Becca always had a lot to say and many questions to ask every time I opened my mouth, but this time she was quiet. We sat for a few minutes writing stuff down from our books and I couldn't help but glance over at her every 5 seconds.
She didn't look at me at all. It kind of felt like she didn't want me to be here. I was afraid that she was hurt from how I had treated her earlier at the game. I felt like a complete asshole for shutting her off like that, all because of the guys disapproval. What was I turning into?
Just before I was about to open my mouth and tell her how sorry I was, she turned her head at me and spoke.
"Can I ask you something?"
"You just did" I said teasingly, but she gave me serious look.
"Are you embarrassed of me?" she asked, and my heart sank.
"What? N-No-" I started but she interrupted me.
"Because the way you acted today in front of Sam and those guys... It was like you didn't want to be seen with me, and I really don't need any more people in my life who are embarrassed of me. So I need you to be honest with me" she said, sitting directly across from me now.
I was kind of thrown off by her complete honesty, but somehow it made me like her even more.
"Becca. I am not embarrassed of you. I know what I did today was an asshole thing to do, and I'm so sorry. Sam and those guys just put so much pressure on me to be with them all the time and be popular, and not be seen with you but... I don't care anymore" I explained to her and gulped down.
"If it comes down to it, I would much rather spend time with you over them. I want to be with you Becca, and I don't care who knows it" I said and immediately heard what it sounded like I had just said.
"I mean, I want to be with you as a friend" I tried to save it and scratched my head. I could feel my whole face turning red until I heard Becca chuckle.
"I don't need you to choose me over any one, I just need to know that you're someone I can count on, and who's not going to judge me or be embarrassed of me" she said and fumbled with her nails. It was a habit I had noticed she did quite often when she seemed nervous.
I gathered all my courage and put my hand on top her hers and looked her in the eyes.
"I think you're amazing, quite frankly the most amazing person I've met. I would never be embarrassed of you" I said, and I meant every word of it. She smiled and looked down at our hands. She looked up at me again and was about to speak when suddenly, my stomach decided to join in and sound like a constipated whale.
"Wow, are you hungry?" Becca said and laughed. I joined her. It came to my realization that I hadn't eaten anything since lunch at school.
"I think the whale in my stomach just answered that question" I said and made her laugh again. It was a beautiful sound. She got up from her bed and went over to her phone and disconnected the music.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"I'm ordering pizza. I'm starving too" she said and dialed a number.
As soon as they picked up, she ordered us one family sized pepperoni pizza and smirked at me. I smiled back and put my books down. I sat and watched her talk to the guy on the phone while biting her nails and walking around the room. This girl had completely enchanted me in every way possible.
