You And Me

Chapter 3

I can't believe he actually got the principal to ask me to give him a tour.

I mean,come on she's the principal,shouldn't she be super busy"running the school"or something?

I'm grumbling pointlessly to my self as I trudge down the hallways with Shadi by my side.

He's hearing me complain and chuckling at my expense,but I'm not amused in the slightest.

I know I'm being abit of a sore loser,but I couldn't bring myself to care.

Walking without slowing down to properly explain where anything is,I point to all the doors we pass and mutter what they are to him.

"Gym"

"Locker rooms."

"Bathrooms."

"Fren-" Jhon pulls me to a stop by gently wrapping his hand around my wrist.

"Baby.....this isn't what I had in mind when I asked you for a tour.This is honestly the worst tour I've had in my entire life."

"What did you have in mind then?"

"I don't know,"he says,but the way he shifts awkwardly and savers his eyes,just screams:'I'm lying.' His following sigh sounds sad and disappointed.

"Look,if you don't want it is okay I won't force you into anything you don't want to"he cringes...

My answering laugh makes his eyes light up."No,you're not,it's okay.Honestly.

"Well,at least I got you out of class."

"That's true."

My tour continues on at a normal pace after that,leaving room to talk about things un-school related.which is what we end up mostly doing and I notice that the more we talk,the slower my pace gets and the more.

I stop pointing out where doors led to.Until,students start flooding into the hallways and we realize that an entire period was spent with just us talking to each other the whole time.

.......

"Freedom!"Is the first word I tell when I walk out of the school doors with Emily and Shadi right behind me despot the fact that I practically ran to get out here.

I stop to soak in the sunlight for a minute before walking towards Matt's car.

When I don't see him anywhere inside or around it,I frown.He usually gets here before me.

"Where the hell is-AHH!"my hearts stops as I feel something grab my foot and I swear I freeze in shock.I snap out of it a bit when John steps protectively in front of me and that's when I hear it.

"Is that......laughing?"

Matt rolls out from under the car laughing like a hyena on crack.

"Oh my gosh!I got you good!"
John relaxes slightly,but his eyes stay alert and tense.

"What the hell,Matt!?"I step around John to slap him on his chest.

"How long have you been under there?"

"For like a minute,"he's still laughing and Emily decides to join him from behind me,"I heard somebody yell the word 'freedom' and rightfully assumed it way you so I hide."

"Who does that"I give him a little shove."Are you stupid?"

When he raises his hand to playfully shove me back,John takes a step closer to me and Matt finally notices him."Hey."

John looks at Matt up and down as if he's sizing him up and then holds out his hand,without saying a word.

"I'm Matt."they shake hands,but instead of releasing them,their hands stay connected until I see Matt wince like he's in pain,quickly trying to pull away from John,who just smirks,let's go of Matt's hand and says,"John."

Matt chuckles nervously,now seeing the unfriendly look on John's face and even I take a few wary steps back.This is not the same John I talked to all morning.

Matt opens the car door for me,suddenly eager to leave.

"Ready to go now,Anna?"

John seems to grow even more angry at this,so with a quick goodbye to both him and Emily.I hop in the car,laughing as Matt sucrries to the driver's seat before peeling out of the parking lot.

"Do you know that guy?"

"Kind of.I met him today."

"Well,I don't think you should talk to him anymore,"when I give him incredulous look,he blinks."What?Did you not see the murderous looks he was giving me?I think you should stay always from him."

"Calm down,Nancy Drew.I talked to him most of this morning and he didn't seem aggressive or harmful.Maybe he has a crush on you,"I tease.

"Oh,please he is so not my type,"he mocks.

I laugh and I could see him fighting the urge to laugh to,so I poke him in his side.

"Hey,don't do that while I'm driving!"

I stick my tongue out at him and he copies me.

After getting home I eat,shower,my homework,watching some shows and reading,I'm lying in bed talking to Emily on the phone.

"So what exactly happened today with you and John?"

"Oh,he kissed me."

"What!?"

"Uh huh."

"Was it good?"

"......why does that have to be the first question you ask me?"

"Because he's hot."

I roll my eyes even though she can't see me.

"I wouldn't really know if it was a good or not,because I slap him almost as soon as it happened."

"Damn girl!who knew you could be such a boss?"

"Maybe,I'm born with it,"I sing.

We both burst out laughing and it takes awhile for us to calm down.

"No,but seriously,he's hot?"

"Hot or not,I don't take kindly to strangers touching me without my permission."

"That's my girl!Mama raised you well."I know her well enough to figure out that by saying'Mama' she was really just referring to herself.

"Well good night,Mama,it's late and your child is tired.It'd be very irresponsible to keep her from her beauty sleep."

"I suppose you're right.so,goodnight,I'll see you in the morning."

"And darling?"

"Yes,mother?"

"This conversation isn't over."And she hangs up.

I assume she's talking about the situation between Shadi and I,which I don't mind telling her about....

I sigh and turn on my side to glance at my clock.

12:06.Just great,I have to fall asleep right now if I want to get at least 7hours of sleep.

I close my eyes.
