"Well..?" I say looking around the school bus, more specifically at Mr Deyton.
Deyton clears his throat and says, "Take your seat, Ms Lancaster."
I just give him 'The look' and say, "Mr Deyon, Sir, your gracious voice has still not graced me with an answer to my question."
Deyton gives me his own look and I glare back at him... But the. I finally resign because it was so scary it made my 'look' look like a 3 hour old kitten and his a hungry lion.
I make my way to the back of the bus where all the students are seated and spot my cluster of friends. The whole walk to the back was filled with whispers, I chose to ignore it in an attempt to be modest in being the only person who passed this assignment. I spot Charles sitting alone and smile at him, he just looks at me and turns his head away to face the window. The Trips are sitting together on the three seater side of the bus and Zach and Jordan are sitting across them having an argument over sports... Or something. Andy and Andrew are also sitting on the three seater side and are sharing it with some other girl from our class having a discussion. I decide to ignore Charles' lack of smiling ability and walk over to him. He sees me coming and puts his bag on top of the seat that I was gonna take, and I just stop in my tracks. That was cold. I can literally feel the breeze coming from the open window Asa is trying to close.
Smiling I walk over and to show and vent my frustration I forcefully push off Charles' bag and smirk at him. Charles gives me 'the look', but right now I'm too pisseed off to care.
"Was that seat taken?" I innocently ask.
Charles looks at me for some time and smiles. "Nope," he says, popping the 'p', " So... How is James doing? Oh and that other guy...?"
What in the world? " They're fine, I guess?-"
Charles cuts me off. "Oh? They sure did look FINE when you were having some choice 'words' with them," he says adding quotation marks.
"Choice words?" And then it clicks... " What? How did you find out about that?"
"It's not that hard to find out some things when it's on everybody's lips," he coldly says then starts to turn away from me.
"Dude, you've got to be kidding me! It was just a-" and once again I am cut off by Prince Charming.
"A kiss? A kiss, Kris? Is that what you do to everybody you barely know? Are you just some kind of floozy?"
"Charles!"
"And you know whats the worst part?" He says, starting to turn towards me again. "The worst part is that I was starting to like you... A lot... But I don't do easy. I'd rather you play hard to get than go chasing anything around without a diamond between his legs." Then he just turned away facing the window.
There I have it...
I got my confession of undying love... More like dissipating like, but you get my point.
Charles said that he was starting to like me and I blew it big time, all for passing an assignment that isn't even worth a grade.When you like someone I get this bubbly or airy feeling in my stomach whenever they're there or I think of them. Like butterflies are mating and pollinating and everything else in there life cycle RIGHT THERE in my stomach. It's an anxious feeling. "Maybe he'll say he wants my number (pin/ we heart it/ snapchat etc)" or "Maybe he'll just come right out and say 'You and me babe *wink*' ".
That happens all the time when I'm around Charles and I knew that I had a crush on him, I just wasn't ready to tell anyone... Not even The Trips.
Right now those butterfly feelings are intensified times 10, but it's not because he asked me out, or that he told me that he likes me. It's because I feel like I've been caught: like I'm guilty. Like I cheated on him, and I hate seeing that emptiness in his eyes whenever he looks at me.
But a sassy and... Well... ME... part of me thinks that I shouldn't feel guilty at all. I. Didn't do anything! In a situation where he didn't ask me out and I assaulted somebody's lips, which is exactly where I am, I didn't cheat on him.
"I didn't do anything wrong!" I say to Charles. That still didn't get him to turn around so I "lightly" tap him on the shoulder. "You-" I point at him "- and me-" I point at my sexy self "- are and were not an item! I get it if you asked me out and then I went right off and did what I did, but you didn't ask me out and now you're trying to make me feel guilty about what? A kiss? The touch of one person's lips to another?
"Whatever you may have heard Charles," I say spitting out his name, "is an exaggeration. That is what gossip is, albeit it is semi-correct but it isn't like it was a hot make out session! It was just a friggin' peck on the lips!" Contrary to what you may have read on the previous chapter. "A PECK! Do you get me, are you catching my drift, are you surfing my wave? Or do you need a demonstration?" I say and lean over and give him a peck of his own, see how he likes it. (And if I'm being honest I just REALLY wanted to kiss him- Confessions of a Crazy Teenager).I then stand up and make my way over to where the teachers are seated and pretend to ask some pertinent questions to them. Oh, and I didn't miss any of the looks I got because I couldn't care less what they thought of me. I sit with the teachers the rest of the ride to SNH.
"That was awful! If you were actually me back in the day in the field you would've been bagged and dumped into the Kei River faster that you can spell 'dead'," Mr Deyton says looking at each one of us in turn. "But, for your first time, you Guyz did better than I did. The only people that came close are: Tara, Anna, Asanda, Kristen, Alizwa, Jordan, Charles and Zach. That's not 50% of the class, but it'll have to do for now. Class dismissed"
There were a few chorused sounds of happiness and fist bumps into the air and everybody started to lead out.
"Mr Deyton?" I say in the most demure way I've ever said anything to him before, and that sure did get his attention! "I don't remember you answering my question."
Deyton looks up at me and bluntly says, "We don't know who that person is, he isn't enrolled to Silverton North High. So why you got a second tail, we cant answer, but we surely will find out." That was the most fatherly he has ever talked to me before. This sure is a day of surprises!
"Sir? How can you not know?"
"Class is dismissed, Kristen,"
"Sir...?" I whine to him.
"I'm sure you'd like to get to your dorm room to finish your homework." Yep, the walls between us are being built up again.
"What do you mean, what homework, huh?? We didn't have any classes today."
"The writing out you are going to do for not listening to me repeatedly today," he says and goes to his desk to write something on a slip of paper. "Here is what you are to write. Good day Ms Lancaster." And then he just walks away. I shrug and decide to read what "homework" I've got to do.
" 'I may not disobey Mr Deyton and not listen to him when he tells me to do something' Ha, fat chance!," I read out loud and realize that there are a few small words at the bottom of the page so I squint to read them. "And Deyton is sexy and awesome."
"And you know it's true," I hear a voice behind me say and I turn around to see Deyton standing there and he, believe it or not, winks at me!
I just smirk and say, "I'll be sure to do it your handwriting and add a few choice words of mine, Sir" and then I walk off, see how he likes it!
It seems that when Deyton built up his walls he didn't build them high enough, because I actually enjoyed our little chat session today. He actually seems quite... Say it, now Kris... C-C... C'mon now girl! You can do it!... "COOL" i say aloud and mentally high five myself for managing to formulate the words
1Dreamer2x :D <3!!*
P.S: I'm so sorry for the spelling and grammatical errors! But I try to edit :)
