Wait. What.

Chapter 3 Study buddy

As I lay in my bed giggling to a joke Javier sent me, I wonder how he's really like. Unlike the other girls at school who already plan their first date with him or even wedding, sometimes even worse, those 'special nights', I don't. I find it stupid because you don't even know how the person's like, for all you know they could be a total jerk. As I just shake my head and look down upon the screen I see a message he sent me. 'Hey would you mind coming over and helping me with homework?', as I stay in the state of shock. As I type in the word yes I close my laptop and redress myself. In the moment of putting on my flats by the door I roll my eyes thinking 'Why am I doing this, I'm being so stupid'. As I exit the door and walk a few feet toward his house, I'm about to knock on the door but it opens. As the beam of brightness hits my face, I was blinded but pulled in. As I regain my sight I hear the words "Don't you look pretty this evening." I look up and there he is, as I soak up even inch of this moment I hear "Oh! Daniella I see you came by." I turn my head and spot Mrs.Reyes right there upon the stairwell, as always, smiling. "Hi Mrs.Reyes, sorry to come so late in the evening! I didn't mean to come here out of notice" I quickly stand by the door worried I interrupted something. "No no no dear, it's okay. I was actually on my way out the door. need to do some errands. Well you two behave yourselves, bye!" she quickly rushes out the door and into her car. As I look back a Javier there he is texting on his phone, I walk over and grab it out of his hands. "Hey!" he looks at me mad. "Homework first, then you can get this back" I argue back. Javier makes a face and walks upstairs, as I just stand there he wonders "You coming?" "Oh!" I exclaim and quickly follow behind him.

As I enter the room it was quite large and very messy. "Not much to see." "Are you kidding me? There is so much to see! It's a pigsty!" I laugh and look around some more. "I'm sorry it's not squeaky clean" Javier teases. "What did I say, just cause I'm a 'nerd' doesn't mean I always act like one" I push him in a playful way. "Okay then let's see if you can take this jock it wrestling!" he shouts. "Shh not so loud" I laugh. "You scared?" He provokes me, as we start going at it. I trip and luckily fall onto the bed but Javier slowly falls onto me as well, his weight crushing me. As he removed his face from my shoulder, we are face to face. I felt his breath on me, I blush he notices and stutters saying "Oh um-Uh sorry." He slowly gets off and I sit up quickly and sit on his bed. We slowly finish the homework and I stay quiet. I feel breathing on me so I turn to see what was going on. Instead of seeing an answer I taste it, the softness surprises me. I open my eyes which makes me pull away and stand. I pace around as the words he speaks surprises me. "What's wrong? Did you not like it?" I immediately have a response saying "What no! I mean yes- you weren't bad! I mean-well. I have to go." I rush down the stairs. "Wait, Daniella!" He shouts chasing after me. I slam the door running in my household and as I close the door I lean on it. I sigh, wondering how this happened with a guy I just met.
