The Kiss Of A Spirit

Chapter 7

Frida tapped her fingers on her desk in annoyance as she watched all the girls in her class flirt with Manny and desperately try to get his attention. At the beginning Frida didn't mind having Manny go with her to school but recently a lot of the girls have been itching to get their hands all over him and it was really starting to bug her.

"Hey Manny wanna go shopping with me and my friends after school?" One pretty girl asked him while flipping her hair.

"Sorry but I don't do shopping." He replied not taking his eyes off of the book he was reading.

She gave a small giggle to herself. She was grateful that he didn't have any interest in other girls. She didn't know why but the idea of him being romantically involved with someone made her very uncomfortable.

"What's up tiger?" Aaron Hunt arrived at the classroom late as usual and as usual all the girls started fawning over him. "Still following Frida around like a dog?"

"What about you? Still shepherding a heard of naive sheep?" Manny replied.

"I'm surprised that Frida doesn't utterly despise you yet but she's bound to sooner or later."

"Well coming from someone she already hates you may have a point."

"She doesn't hate me!"

"How sad it must be not to realize what an annoying bastard you really are."

"I guess it takes one to know one cat boy!"

"You know that cats eat birds Aaron and I'm very hungry right now so don't push me."

Frida rolled her eyes like she normally did whenever those two bickered. She had been asking them to get along but for some reason those two were almost at each other's throats though from what she understood Manny seemed to hate Aaron less than Nigel due to the fact that whenever Nigel was around or even mentioned Manny would try to kill him while her back was turned.

Looking to her left she noticed that someone was spying on them from outside the classroom. Curious, she got up from her desk and went to investigate. It was Eileen.

"Eileen what are you doing?" Frida asked her.

"Oh nothing!" She said blushing and sweating.

"Don't lie! You were spying on us, don't you know how creepy that is?"

"Well I-"

"Why were you spying on us anyway?"

"Um...Well...I don't know if I should tell you."

"Why not?"

"Because it's stupid and you'll laugh at me."

"I won't I swear."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Alright I have a crush on Aaron."

"Huh. Really? I never took you as someone who fell for guys like that."

"I know. At first I thought of him as just some arrogant, pretty boy, jerk, but then he saved me the other day and he was very nice to me and he kissed me-"
