Chapter 11: Being Normal or Human

A few months later...

Danica has been hanging out with me these past few months. She's been eating with me at lunch (even if Gordon keeps on reason her about it), we've presented the project for art and got a good score, and I even taught her how to play CoD (at first she was bad but later on, she was a tiny bit better than Gordon).

It was lunch time and Dani said she was in the library finishing up I something so she wouldn't be able to eat with us. So, it was just me and Gordon talking this time. I was telling him about my brothers new car but it didn't seem like he was listening because he was looking somewhere else.

"Gordon." I called for his attention. "Hey Gordon."

"What?" He said turning around.

"Nothing, are you even listening?" I said but he wasn't. His gaze slowly went back at the table behind us. It was the so-called "cool" table. You know, where all the cheerleaders and jocks and "rich" kids sit. Back to Gordon, he was longingly looking at their direction. I looked at whoever he's looking at and saw that his gaze was on Rosemary. He's been doing this a lot lately, taking glances at her during class, peeking behind his locker whenever she walking through the halls... let's just say he look at her her whenever he gets the chance to. I guess he's in the same place as me whenever I'm with Dani, looking at her every 15 seconds. So I'm guessing that this is a full-time crush for Gordon.

"Seriously dude, if you like the girl then go and talk to her." I said turning back on my seat.

"Yeah well I would if she weren't with her cheerleader friends or Ally. You know that Ally is a mega bitch right?" He said turning back to me. "I mean, Rosemary is practically Ally's personal Barbie doll. She turned her into some Barbie and brainwashed her and made her into one of her minions..." He explained.

"Uh Gordon..." I slowly sad as I eyed him. "Is that your theory or did you just find that out by yourself?"

"No, I was lab partners with her and she told me about it. About how she hates Ally and the other here leaders an stuff..." Gordon said. "You were right, being partners with them on a project or whatever works. But she just sees me as the nerd who helps her in chemistry." He sighs as he licks on the mash potatoes on his plate.

"Yeah but, you could always ask her of she wants to sit with is at lunch or walk to class..."

He smirks at me. "Like what you did with Dani eh?" He teased. I just ignore him and go ok with lunch.

"But dude, you should at least talk to her as Gordon not her lab partner." I blurted out. He just shrugged and we stood up to dispose our lunches.

"Okay, how about this. I talk to her and maybe ask her out and you ask Dani out as well. If one of us doesn't do it, we have to do whatever the winner says..."

"Is this suppose to be a competition of some sort?" I asked him.

"Yes. And I would sure enjoy taking your No. 251 Batman comic..."

I look at him in disbelief. "Im you wouldn't dare..."

"Oh I dare..."

I just sigh and agreed to this stupid contest or whatever "Okay. Deal." We both shook our hands and went to class. Now, I have to ask Dani out. We don't even talk about stuff like that. We're not even boyfriend or girlfriend. I might as well give it a shot...

Me and Will have been spending a lot of time together these past few months. We did a lot of things in school and outside school. We did the project, we ate lunch together, and played video games at Gordon's house. But we never did anything alone asides from the project. I didn't get to eat with him at lunch today though, I had to finish up on my social studies homework. I was in the library researching on my homework, I was on one of the tables quickly jotting down notes. I was the only one on this table so I got pretty shocked when someone sat down with me on the table. I didn't bother to look up and continued jotting down notes. The person was also taking down notes for something. After a while, the person closed her book and notes and was just there looking at me, or something behind. I slowly peeked and saw that this person was Rosemary. When she saw me look up, she smiled and slyly waved. I lazily loft up my hand and waved and went back to taking down notes. Why would she sit here out of all the tables in the library? There was even a table with all her cheerleader friends, why here? She kept on looking at me while smiling that I couldn't take down my notes. I am close to finishing so I shut my notebook and looked up at her.

"What do you want Rosemary?" I said in monotone.

She looked kind of surprised when I spoke to her. She was about to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. I just yawned and waited for her answer...

"Come on Rosemary, I haven't got all day..." I said in a disinterest tone. She was finally going to say something but she didn't because someone interrupted her. Ally sat down beside Rosemary and started yapping on and on about a fight that happened in the girls locker rooms. And then all the cheerleaders and "popular" girls started to come here and listened to Ally's story. I quickly got my things and ran out of the library. How dare they steal my table. Ugh, like what they say, "monkey see, monkey do" I guess. Why can't they just say excuse me like a normal person?  Maybe they aren't normal. Then again, I'm not close to normal. People think I'm weird just because I do normal things differently. Like once in the 1st grade, Ally started a  runout stating that I'm an alien. They for curious and asked me if I'm really an alien. I fooled them by saying yes and I'm here to posses their bodies and rule the planet. They freaked out and I haven't got a friend since. I guess I am really weird... Or maybe 6-year-old me was weird. I haven't change since...
