A Little Weird

Ring.Ring.Ring.

Lazily, with my eyes still closed, I reached out to my ringing phone. It took a few failed attempts but I managed to slide my screen to answer the call.

"Hmmm?"

"Ky, it's Saturday, wake up! You need to help Miss Summer with her office."

My lips curl up a little when I heard the voice of my little cheerleader. This is why I have no need to set an alarm, I just need to inform her. Even on our school days, Nia would come and wake me up every morning.

"5 more minutes, I promise."

I can literally hear her snort from the other side of the line.

"You know the last time you said that we both end up getting scolded pretty hard for being really late."

"Hey! That was one time, okay? One time."

"...Ky, really? Really?"

"Twice? Thrice? Okay, it happens many times."

I bite my lower lips as I confessed my sin. Omg, that sounds a lot like I'm in church. #Notsoholy

The sweet sound of Nia's laughter filled my ears.

"Alright, you should get ready now. I'll be over in 15 minutes, gonna drive you to school."

"You know you don't have to do that, I'll get my car back today."

Nia hummed.

"I know I just feel like it. Now, hurry up. I'll drive you to school, pick you up when you're done, drive you home so you can get ready and then you'll come and pick me up at my home. Walla, after that, we'll be off to our date! Sounds good to you?"

I lost track somewhere in the middle of that but yeah, I'm too lazy to ask her to explain again. Nia will probably call to remind me of our plan anyway.

"Yeah, could you get me some coffee on your way here?", I asked her.

What I get as a reply is the sound of Nia flicking her tongue.

"You need to have a proper breakfast."

"But coffee is a proper breakfast!"

"Coffee addict."

"Am not!"

"You are."

"Am not!"

"Whatever, just hurry up, we'll stop somewhere to get breakfast. Deal?"

"Although coffee would have been enough but yeah, okay, deal.", I finally agree with the petite girl.

Knowing my Nia, she is probably rolling her eyes at the other side of the line.

"Alright, see you later, gorgeous.", I said to her.

"Hmm, you too, beautiful."

The call ended. Still half asleep, I get up from my bed, grab my towel and rush into my bathroom. As always on this cold morning, I had an express shower which means I only took 5 minutes to clean myself. Don't look at me like that! Everyone has their own express shower.

Coming out of my bathroom, I rush into my walking closet. Yeah! One of the things I like about my room is that I have a walking closet. Not even half as big as Nia's but well, it's still a walking closet. To avoid being caught in an indecisive situation, I immediately grab the first outfit that I see which in this case, ripped jeans and a light dye hoodie.

Once I have put on my outfit, I literally come out of the closet. I didn't bother to put on any make up as I would only be cleaning today.

Right when I'm done, I can hear the familiar sound of Nia's horn.

"Kylie, your girlfriend is here!", mom shouted from downstairs.

"She is not my girlfriend, mom!" I shouted back at her.

"Well, not yet."

Ughh, why does everyone keep saying that?

Ignoring my mom, I rush down toward Nia. The petite girl was putting on her lip gloss the moment I opened the front passenger seat.

"Aye, your lips already look so tempting. There's no need for lip gloss."

"Sweet talker.", the petite girl said but I can see the crimson shade on her cheeks.

"Only for you", I winked at her.

Not waiting for her reply, I hop into the car like I own it but fuck... Her Chevrolet Camaro is just not my style. It's a good car tho. Still amazed me how her legs actually reached the pedals. Hmm, I guess Mary Poppin was right. A cover is not a book. Even if Nia is short af, auto car's seat is often adjustable so I shouldn't look down at her driving skill.

Weird... I've been riding her to school for like... Idk, 3 months and this is the first time I actually thought about this.

"We're here."

Nia suddenly stated.

Wait... 'here' where? I look outside the window and we are parked right outside my favourite restaurant, Shush Recipe.

I'm suddenly beaming with a smile.

"I thought we're just gonna grab something on our way to school. You actually drive 15 miles the opposite direction of our school to get here!"

The petite girl merely hum, she quietly takes off her seatbelt.

"You're special for me, so deal with it.", she said and then get out of the car, leaving me slightly dumbfounded by her statement.

WTF IS THAT? What does she mean 'special'? Is she saying what I think she is saying... Nah, no way. This is Titania Lance, my fucking best friend. No, no, not fucking like fucking! I mean fucking as you know... Ugh, I will just zip my mouth now.

Opening my door for me, Nia has the emotionless face.

"You're coming or not?", she asked.

Staring at her face, if I hadn't known her since kindergarten I would have thought that is a normal emotionless face she is wearing but well since I'm her best friend, I could tell that she is hiding her nervousness behind that emotionless expression.

"You know you look so cute when you're nervous.", without realizing it, I bluntly say what on my mind.

A shade of crimson red blush could be seen on her fair face. Woop, I got it right. She was totally hiding her nervousness.

" S-shut up! Get out already."

Smirking at her cute reaction, I got off the car. My little cheerleader is acting a little weird today but I can't say that I mind.

Nia walks a few steps ahead of me, clearly trying to avoid eye contact with me.

My, my... This is interesting.

I jog a bit to catch up with her. Once I'm close enough, I laced our finger together.

My little cheerleader looks at me in surprise.

"Your hand was looking a little lonely.", I winked.

Suddenly, I'm feeling another goosebump. That same 'someone is watching me' feeling I had in our classroom a few days ago. I turn around to see if there are anyone watching me. None.

"Ky? You're okay?", asked Nia with such a concern voice.

As a comeback come into my mind, I smile playfully before slightly tilt my head to the side and whisper softly to her ear.

"I'm not okay. I'm great. How can I not be when I have a sexy cheerleader by my side?"

Awee, Nia is blushing so hard... Maybe I should start calling her my little tomato?
