"Too much information!!" Raja exclaimed
I just barely shook my head in argument. The last two periods we all spent in double period Health Learning the wonders of how condoms were made and how you contract Gonorrhea. As riveting as that last class was, I would rather not repeat it. I was very happy to be out of there.
"If this is what you guys consider bad, then you would throw up if you went to Health at my old school," Luke said.
"What's so terrible about it?" Raja and Zahvii said at the same time.
After chuckling at them he went on, "They used to bring in real people with the diseases" he said with a shiver. It made all of his muscles bunch up forcing me to stare at them.
Zahvii's horrified face push him to continue, "Yeah, that's kind of how I felt about it. You have no idea what kinds of contagious people they brought. I mean I know we should learn about infections and everything, but just learn, not get them." He finished with his face scrunched up in a cute manner.
"OKAY! No more talk about STD or anything Health related at all until we have class again understood?" I commanded. The thought of the pictures they showed us had me throwing up in my mouth.
"Yes Ma'am" Luke mocked while grinning and showing his cute dimples.
I guess I was staring too long because Raja cleared her throat. I quickly switched my gaze over to her to see what the problem was. She gave me the 'we-need-to-talk-about-this' look. I just nodded my head, hoping that venting about this will make it all easier to deal with.
Zahviii and Luke chattered excitedly all the way to the car. Raja and Zahvii got a motorcycle and a truck each for an early 16th birthday gift this year. Raja's midnight blue truck was parked next a white convertible. None other than the fascinating Mindy Kingsley was sitting in the little white car. She was laughing obnoxiously with one of her crones when we walked up. When she saw me and Raja she glared harshly, but when the boys walked up, she put on, what I assume was a face of seduction. (which really looked more like a face of constipation)
"Hey boys, how about you join me in my car for a little joy ride" Mindy said suggestively.
I wonder if it gets tiring being an attention whore and a grade A hoe at the same time? Not sparing a glance, I climbed into shotgun.
You snooze you lose Zahvii.
Before I could close the door I heard Luke kindly decline. It's either he is oblivious to her sluttish ways or he is the most patient human being on the face of this planet. Either way, he is a sweetheart who would actually reply to her half-assed attempt at a pick up line.
We all piled into the car and pulled away. You could see that Mindy was a little peed through the car window and that made me all the more happy.
Smiling a bit, I looked at Zahvii in the back and asked, "Which movie are we going to anyways. I would like to know beforehand so I can plan my nap intervals accordingly".
Pouting, Zahvii looked at me and said, "Well I thought we could watch that new Rom Com with Jessica Alba and cuddle in the back together, but it's okay if you just want to watch the movie and occasionally make out."
Just as I was about to laugh a weird rumbling came from Luke. I gave a weird look, but all he did was continue to glare at Zahvii and rumble.
"Luke, you okay?" I asked. He quickly shot his eyes to me and began to cough.
"Yup just a little something in my throat that's all." he said while glancing back at Zahvii before looking at me again.
'Hey, why aren't Rizzo and James riding with us again?" Luke said quickly changing the subject.
Zahvii responded with a dramatic sigh.
"Well, If you really want to know it is because Rizzo had to shower before she came and James had to pick-up and drop off his baby sister with his Buba." Raja filled in with a better answer.
"Kay. That makes sense."
We sat in silence until we pulled up to a cute blue and white house.
"Text James and tell him we are outside please. I'd rather not wait for pretty boy to brush his hair 100 times before he comes out." Zahvii said sarcastically.
Raja gave him a dirty look, but did as he asked.
As we waited some more for James to text her back. I felt a pull on my hair for the third time today. I shifted my view to the rear view mirror to see Luke not just twirling a reddish brown curl, but examining it.
I watched him for a while. The concentration on his face made his foresty eyes more intense. They even appeared darker than usual. Suddenly his eyes snapped to mine in the mirror with that same dark intense stare.
"Your hair is such a strange colour" Luke stated.
Recovering from his dark gaze, I swiftly answered, "Well. my father is Irish and has red hair". Not wanting to think any further along the lines of my father, I told Raja, "You should probably go knock on the door and see..." I trailed off.
I couldn't think with the feeling of my hair being twirled getting worse, especially when he started tugging the curls. A tingling sensation spread through my scalp and through my body.The pleasant feeling brought a sharp intake of breath out of me.
"Actually, I think that I'll join you in there" and I basically flung myself out of the car. I jogged up to the perfectly painted off-white door while Raja knocked.
Nothing.
She knocked again and waited.
"So are we going to just stand here or can we leave?" Zahvii suddenly questioned from behind me. I jumped a bit, but was held down when he placed his chin on top of my head.
Right in the middle of my deep breathing the door was yanked open. All of our eyes locked on a little girl about 10 with dark brown hair, creamy skin,and burning dark brown eye. We all just looked at her, but she stared directly at me.
"Adia Janice McQueen! You better not be opening the doors for strangers again!" James voice echoed from somewhere inside. Her already large doe like eyes widened more.
"But James! This time it's the Luna!" Adia whined
I raised my eyebrows in amusement. Sometimes Jamie's imagination would run away with her too.
"What are you even talking about Adia?" James mumble as he walked up behind the little girl.
He looked shocked when he saw we were the 'strangers' at the door. When he walked up to the door I waved. Following his sisters gaze at the sudden movement a panicked look crossed his face.
"Be right back" he grumbled as he dragged his sister back in the house and slammed the door in our faces.
Pouting I turned to Raja (only about a quarter away because Zahvii stupid head was on top of mine), and said "Well what did I do?" half jokingly.
I can't remember one time I've done anything to James. In fact I almost make a duty of mine to avoid most of the male population.
"Don't worry, it was just the shock of seeing your beautiful face." Raja joked. The vibration of Zahvii's laughter tickled my head making me laugh too.
Shortly afterwards the door opened back up with a flustered looking James behind it.
"Sorry about the hold up" he said.
He was wearing a green, blue, and red checkered shirt with dark jeans and maroon vans.
"Are you sure you're ready? Because I don't want to miss the movie" Zahvii said impatiently.
Looking over at Zahvii as if confused by his tone, James stated "Sure".
