My Story

Chapter Twenty-Two

I got to school and I was just in a state of mind wanting to go back to that room with the door locked and sleep.
I walked in to the school not wanted to work or anything. I went to my first period. Algebra.
I sat at my desk and pulled out my note book.
Once class started we started with the notes of the day. We had to write all these notes down, mainly formulas and I found out that this is gonna be a long night of homework, math, my history project, possibly this week will be of my health class work set to homework.
We finished the notes and he gave us work to do. I hate this I did as much as I could and well yeah.

I was now in my health class and Anuel was ignoring me.
"Anuel?"
"Can you leave me alone, please."
"Anuel, nothing happened last night, I don't know why you would think that." I whispered.
"Mirana. You don't understand. Seeing that made me think you guys did something."
"You know you'd be able to hear it, right?" I asked looking into his eyes.
"Ugh, I hate you for being right."
His room is right next to mine. I'm pretty sure he'd be able to hear anything. Unless he's a heavy sleeper.
"You know what. What did you guys do all yesterday?" He asked.
"We just set up my room and then after we just talked a bit then played a game." I said.
"interesting."
"So how was your date?" I really want to know how that went.
"Well it was alright you know."

No, no I don't.

"She was really like sweet. She seemed so pure, she for some reason reminded me of a butterfly. Don't ask me how I don't even know." He said looking away from me. "She did have this way with me, like a little connection I would put it, but she was just hard to read. You see like I couldn't tell when she was flirting or if she was just talking to me. I couldn't tell if she wanted to be in a relationship with me or not. Like if she wasn't ready for it yet. I don't know."
"What were somethings you guys talked about?"
"We got to know each other, we talked about ourselves, then we kinda talked about my life back home and her life here. We would joke around, laugh, Mirana I wanted to kiss her so bad. It took everything in me to stop myself."
"Why'd you want to kiss her." I turned a little in my chair to face him more.
"I don't know, like the thought of kissing her just came to my mind. All of a sudden. I didn't want to kiss her because there was that connection I liked. we were talking and that's what I liked. She talked so freely with me. I liked it." He smiled.
"Aww. You really like her." I cooed into his ear and he just pushed me away.

*******

It was lunch time and I went to go sit with Ezra and his friends.
"Hey, you're not gonna sit with Manuel?" Ezra asked.
"No. He's over there with that girl." I pointed at the table he was at.
"Oh, I see. You're not gonna eat?"
"No. I'll eat when I go home." I said.

I just sat there watching Anuel. I was a little angry because he looked stuck. You could clearly see it on his face.
"Oh it looks like someone is jealous over here." One of Ezra's friends said laughing.
"Bitch fuck off. I'm happy for him I don't want to get in the way I'm just pissed cus he looks like he doesn't know what he is doing." I glared at him. "If you wanna come at me do it I don't fucking care."
"Yo chill I was just making a joke."
"Yeah a pathetic one." I rolled my eyes and looked back over at Anuel.

He still looked so clueless. I don't know what happened, but she looks so uncomfortable now.
This poor girl.
Poor Anuel.
I'm going to get after him for this once I get home today.
I turned my attention on Ezra and his friends. I looked down at the table and just let my mind wonder.

"Ezra has a girlfriend now doesn't he?" The same guy from before said.
"I don't."
"Yeah you are staring at her." I watched as the both of them fought over that.

"Bro look. She's not my girlfriend okay she's my brothers friend so that also makes her my friend." Ezra said.

Again with the friend thing.

"Do you like him?" The guy asked me.
"No." I said and I saw the way Ezra looked at me and it hurt me. The look of pain was in his eyes.
"Wow I'd think you would." He said shocked.
"Well yeah same but you never know right?" I said.
They all looked away from me and I mouthed to Ezra 'sorry' and he's face lightened up a bit.

Back home I was in my bathroom. The room door was locked and my bathroom door was locked so no one can come in.
I was in the bathtub relaxing in the warm water with the lights off my scented rose water candle lit and the setting sun seen on the walls. The most relaxed I''ve ever been.
I got out and went to the shower and washed my hair. I wrapped a towel around myself and grabbed another and started drying my hair with it.
I walked out the bathroom and to my bed and sat down.
My body felt one hundred times better.
Then I hear a knock at my door.

"Hello!?" I yelled.
"It's Manuel."

I got up and unlocked the door and let him in.

"Am I interrupting....?"
"No I just got out I need to just put clothes on." I said.
" oh okay good." He said. "Any who. So with this girl. Umm I might have bored her today in lunch."
I was listening from my closest.
"Yeah I know I saw." I said.
"How? Why? Umm ... why?"
"I saw you guys there at the table. I was sitting with Ezra and his gay ass friends."
"Oh. That's nice. But I apologized for the awkwardness after school. She didn't seem to mind though. She said I'm cute."
"So you guys might actually have a thing going on." I said as I put my panties on, shorts and my hoodie on.
"Yes !!!" He yelled.

I walked out and sat down on my bed then motioned him to join me.

"Well I'll see how well it goes cause on Friday we are gonna have are first date."
"You're kidding?" I said.
"No I'm not. Lowkey scared."
I stared at him and shook my head. "I think you might have some problems. "

"What are you gonna be doing now that you are like out the shower and shit?"
"Well I have to do my homework for today and hopefully sleep, but I'm gonna see if they can make me some snacks." I said scrunching my nose.
"You don't want dinner? "
"No. Not really. I want to get my math done. This history project finished. Health, my writing, and English essay done tonight."
"Damn you work yourself too hard you know that? "
"Well yeah I do, but I just like getting everything done and all. I said then shood him out.
