You Didn't Think This Through

Chapter 5

Brooks

It's been about a week since I last interacted with Rommie. I really need to get her proper name, that name is really annoying me.

For some strange reason I have been wanting to talk to her, but the most I've done is hold a few seconds of eye contact.

I'm honestly too nervous to talk to her, not sure why. Maybe it's because she might be getting close to the truth. Yeah, that must be it.

We had a biology test yesterday, we are going to be getting our results back today. I relly hope I did well, if I fail again my mum would ground me for life..

I walk into the science lab and sit down in my usual seat. Everyone was already there, maybe I took a little longer then I thought.

As soon as I sat down my test was put in front of me. 73% not bad, hopefully mother will be okay with this.

I look behind me to see Lucy and Alice, and send them a thumbs up. Lucy ignores me but Alice give a big smile and give a thumbs up back.

Maybe Lucy didn't pass, that's why she is upset. She isn't usually this grumpy. Sure she's a bug grump most of the time, but somthing is different today.

I turn to the front, but my eyes stopped as I saw the Rom girl.  She is really pretty today, like more than usual. I look down and see she is still wearing her boots.

She is still a strange person, but I think that's what I like about her, she's different. I look back up and see she is looking right back at me.

My eyes shoot wide open and I turn away trying to hide my blush. Why does she have that much of an effect on me?

I smile and continue to listen to the teacher blab on about how goats can basically eat anything and why that is so.

......

I put my books back into my locker and grab my bag, making sure I have my test with me.

I hear the Rom girl walk past me with her friend, I forgot her name. Gosh sometimes I forget how I remember my own name.

I walk out of the school doors and run up to where I see the Rom girl standing near the gate. "Hey!" I say a bit too excited.

She looks at me slightly confused, "Hi?" I look down at her boots and try and hide my huge smile.

"Um sorry," I say nervously, "I just wanted to know how you did on the test."

She looked even more puzzled this time, "I did pretty good, I got 90%." she let's out a nervous laugh.

"Wow, now I know why people think you are such a nerd." I smile, she gives a small smile back, "not to kill the mood, but I still don't know your actual name. Lucy calls you Rommie and everyone else calls you need girl."

She rolls her eye but still holds her amused smile, "My name is Andromeda."

I furrow my eyebrows, "Now I see why no one calls you by your real name."

She let's out a small laugh, "well now this is awkward."

"What, why? Did I do somthing wrong?" What am I doing? Why am I so scared of her not liking me.
