Living Life With The 12 Boys

chapter 7: Derrick's POV

~Derrick's POV~

"Dude I think I like her." I told Wyatt the truth slowly even though he will punch me in the face for liking his little sister. I had to tell him well I had to tell someone...

Me and Wyatt are at his house and passing a football back and forth in his room. We were just talking. When I heard Veronica's room door open and shut and feet running down the stairs.

"Who?" He asked not looking at me but looking at his phone.

"Umm well you know..." I told him flinching.

"Lauren?" He asked. Wow really who would like her well maybe most of the football players and some basketball players. She is the head cheerleader, mean to everyone but the cheerleaders she is annoying and she is easy to get..

"No. Wyatt really?"

"What? I thought you liked her?"

"Really her? No I am talking about Veronica. I think I do I am not sure I guess?" I told him. I kinda said it out loud to myself I have to find out what this feeling is.

"Veronica?! Since when?!" He yelled. He wasn't mad. He was surprised but he was smiling.

"I don't know and I said I think. But I think since we were little." I told him. Me and Wyatt have been friends since perschool we were friends before Veronica was born.

"Ok. You going to her?" He ask. Should I tell her? But would that mean I like her?

"I don't know right now." I said thinking about it. What if she doesn't like me? What if she thinks I am playing her? What if I am a jerk to her? Oh god what if I hurt her!?

"Well you better find out before she does by somebody else." He said with a wink

"No don't tell her if I don't even know yet!"

"Like I said find out." He said. I do need to find out about this.

"Well I think I am going to head out. Got something's to do places to be. You know." I said about to walk out of the room.

"Good luck." He winked. With that I left.

I smelt popcorn and feet coming up the stairs I knew it was Veronica. I leaned up against her door. When she got up the stairs she froze she looked like she was going to fall backwards down the stairs. It looked like I was the last person she wanted to see. What did I do to her? She started to walk up to me.

"What do you want?" She asked shock on her face.

"Nothing I was hanging out with your brother. But I came over to see if you wanted to hang out but I see you are busy with watching your movie." I told he with a fake smile because I didn't want her to think I was laying. I did really want to hang out with her. A little smile played on her lips. Her lips mmmm. Stop!

"Oh okay." She said walking into her room past me. Does that mean she wanted me to come in?

"Do you mind if I join you?" I asked to make sure I could. I didn't want to if it made her uncomfortable.

"I guess you can. If you want to." She told me sounding confused. But I was smiling at that. So I walked in her room and closing the door behind me. I never really had been in he room before. Walking over to her on the floor at the end of her bed "What are we watching?" I asked. She smiled

"Bruce Almighty." She said with a smile. I like he smile. It was bright and friendly. She was a really nice girl. She was beautiful. Almost all the guys had a crush on her. They were to scared to ask her out because she was a package she is smart, pretty, liked sports (but didn't play any I don't know why she is really good at them) she didn't care about getting dirty, breaking a nail, she didn't care what she looked like, like right now she was wearing black sweats a tank top and her hair up in a messy bun no make-up like the other girls and she still looked amazing.

We were laughing. Me not believing I was with her right now. I didn't think I would have a good day like this. And it wasn't awkward. I was thankful for that.

But you know in those cheesy chick movies were the boy and girl both reach for something and their hands touch. We were both reaching for popcorn and our hands touched. I sat there looking at our hands touching. Man I feel like such a girl!!! I looked at he face it is red, redder than a tomato. I didn't know someone's face could be that red. She looked up and moved her hand from mine really fast my hand felt so empty. Such a girl!

It was awkward the rest of the movie. We didn't eat any popcorn anymore.

I looked at the time. "Hey I have to go." I said standing up.

"Alright." She said looking up at me.

"That was fun." I said with a little smile. I can see the blush that came on her cheeks. "Bye." And with that I left her room.
