She Doesn't Mind

eight: Tonight

To be fair, if I knew all of this I wouldn't even dare speak to him. I don't wanna get in trouble with his fan girls.

But I didn't know until now so... I'm probably fucked.

I sighed and went to where the chocolate fountain is. Bingo! There are strawberries here too.

Everything's been pretty great so far, the place is semi dark, with the lights panned on stage and colorful beacons as the only light source.

My eyes went to the left side of the stage where a giant screen was displayed, in there playing was a live video of people dancing and it would sometimes pan to someone eating or just talking. Anyone that piqued the camera guy's interest. It was entertaining, I chuckled at all of them.

Just as I was gonna take another bite, a guy dressed as Spiderman spoke next to me. "Do you want to dance?" It was Jonah from AP Linguistics, he's that typical cute boy that's really kind and doesn't do girlfriends. His mask was off and I can see him blushing even with the dim venue. He's really pale.

I smiled, "Only if you'll dance with me."

"Of course, I would," he said, stuttering almost half the words as he held his palm out as invitation.

My hands touched his and he dragged me to a spot with less people, the band was playing You Oughtta Know and I giggled cuz I freaking love this song! It makes me mad about an ex I never had.

"An older version of me," he started singing with his eyes trying to look sexy and his body outstretched and sassy as if trying to imitate a woman. I laughed and joined his shenanigan.

We were both singing every lyric while flicking our heads, squinting our eyes, and acting sexy with our bodies. We look stupid and we were smiling the whole time. The chorus came and we lost character, we started jumping up and down and holding up our fist like we have a microphone.

"You, you, you oughtta know!" We sang that part with our hearts out, fingers pointing to some random guy in a scolding manner.

The song was done and we were panting, our concert has been a success. His cheeks were flushed crimson and I'm sure mine is too. We smiled and laughed.

Jonah's eyes went to the left side of the stage so mine did too. We saw ourselves and wait-- "Had they been filming us the entire time?" I asked while giggling and I looked right to where the camera is.

"God we must've looked ridiculous," he said and we laughed.

His eyes were now on me, the camera guy's still filming us but I don't really care. I smiled at Jonah instead.

He took a step forward and leaned down on me, I was thinking he'd kiss me on the lips but his lips stationed at my cheek instead. Sweet. He took a step back and looked the other way, probably trying to hide the red that's brimming his face but is unsuccessful. He's too pale to hide that much red.

"Sorry, got swept by the moment," he said. I chuckled at his cute demeanor and said it's okay. I don't mind the kiss really, I mean I saw it coming from a mile away but a kiss is nothing.

He motioned for us to sit down to grab a drink and I followed, his face still red. "By the way, I know you from Linguistics but you never talk to me. I was really surprised earlier," I said and he blushed even more.

Jonah fumbled to find the right words, "Well that's because I can't get close to you."

My eyes widened, "Oh no am I giving off a bad impression?" I asked with a smile. I don't actually care, I'm just messing with him.

"No!" He said immediately, "Not like that it's just..." he trailed off.

I'm getting the message he wants to send but I don't wanna assume so I'll wait for his confession then.

My eyes were on him as I sipped from my glass of apple juice, "You're this really cool girl in my class and I really want to talk to you since then but I'm scared." My eyebrow perked up. "I know you're nice but you also have this habit of forgetting if it doesn't interest you and..." he paused and directed his eyes at me. Wow am I really that transparent? "...I'm scared you'd forget me because I bored you." His face was red but he said it anyways.

I looked at him funny and I laughed, "Well you didn't bore me today," I chuckled.

"Thank you. I gave it my all," and we laughed.

"I do forget most of the time but I never forget an encounter, you would know if you just asked, Jonah. I wouldn't mind," I said and smiled.

He closed his eyes dramatically but his lips were smiling, as if he's scolding himself. "God I wasted months, and just a minute ago I thought you didn't know my name." He looked at me intently now.

"I'm offended," I said teasingly and him being the kind guy that he is, apologized.

There was a figure I sensed on my left, a guy in a mafia hat was standing in front of us. Me and Jonah both stood up, "Cain!" I exclaimed, genuinely happy to see him.

I turned to Jonah who was staring innocently at him, "Cain this is Jonah," I introduced them because they aren't moving. Cain as usual, just nodded and Jonah lightly smiled.

"I'll get us drinks," Jonah said, I yelled a 'thanks' and he was off.

Cain turned to me, eyes still indifferent and showing slight signs of anger.

"You let him kiss you."
