Hated Or Forgiven?

(Clay's Picture):

We reached his place in 7 minutes which took longer than usual, his mom opened the door, seeing me , she smiled the biggest I have seen on her face(everytime) and then pulled me into a bear hug.

"Hey sweetie, how are you?" Mrs. Gilbert asked.
"Hello Mrs. Gilbert, I am fine. Thankyou! And what about you?" I asked.

"Oh please Eve don't call me that,it makes me feel old 😂, call me Sam. (Yeah her mom is really young she takes care of herself and people don't believe when she says she's a mom.)
I am fine dear. So, how are your parents and how's preparation for the event going?" She asked.

'They are stressed out really, it's a huge event and they can't take anything going wrong, you know! ' I said.

'Mr. Gilbert is also very much stressed he's checking the stuffs and I am just helping him with them.
You both can go to Clay's room , I will bring some snacks." She said.
"Thankyou Mrs. Gilbert." And we went upstairs.

In Clay's room -

"Nerd" I said.
Says the biggest nerd in the school, Clay replied.
"What were you doing at the library"?
"Studying for Monday's test" he said.
"How about yours, have you prepared for it"?
Yeah, you know me I am the biggest nerd so I have completely prepared everything, I said.

So Clay and I are together, since birth because our parents are best friends, we went to same school, since we were babies and became best friends, I like to spend time with Clay he's the best person you can meet if you ever talked to him, he's easily makes people like him. But he doesn't have alot of friends because he doesn't approach people, he talks to those who comes to him otherwise he stays quiet.
We both spend alot of our time together as long as I can remember . I was lost in my own world until there was a knock at the door and Clay is staring at me, saying come in to whoever is on the other side.

His mom came in, with snacks for us,she put it on the table, told us to eat it fast before it gets cold and then continue studying for the test, and after that she left the room.
He's starting at me again,
'What?' I asked.
'What were you thinking about, I have been calling your name since last 5 minutes'?? He said.

"I..uh.. huh..nothing" I said. I was actually thinking about him, how he's the most adorable person but still friends with me and not a whole lot of other people (girls) who wants to be with him and always throws daggers at my sight.

"Nope. I know you were thinking about me , I am so adorable." He said in a teasing way and winked.
"No. I have pretty other things to think about rather than you, big bear." I replied.
"Ok fine. 😒 Let's wash our hands and eat the snacks." He commented.

Yeah, he's really hygienic. After eating snacks, we started to prepare for the test and after completing full revision I checked time and saw that we have been studying for 3 hours, seriously time flies when you're so focused . We were tired completely now, so we slept for an hour, I told Clay to be at the event. I thought he won't be there because, he doesn't really like to come and meet people, he's not very social and maybe because of test also.
He said "Yep, I will be there muffin".
So I am shocked he just accepted to come for the event like really, it's great to know that. And muffin, so I really hate pumpkin and there's a back story to it, the reason he give me that nickname. But it's fine only he's allowed to call me that.

"Okie I will be leaving now bb, take care, see ya later, bye" I replied.
"Okie. See you later in the event don't be late getting ready like you're always . It's a charity event." Clay said.
I nodded and then went downstairs. Mrs. Gilbert, was busy with some work.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Gilbert whopps, I mean Sam." I said.
"Honey, you leaving? "She asked.
"Yep. We have to be prepared for the event." I said.
"Ok, goodbye, take care of yours. See you later." She replied.
I went out and waved goodbye to Clay who is standing on his balcony, saying go you run, burn some calories you need to look fit.
I glared at him, he smiled and I went down the street.
