Moonstruck

Friends

The next day, I'm stuck in the toilet with an angry Nia. It turns out that she wanted to take the new boy in our class on your around the school but Mrs Willows decided to spoil the fun by calling her a "lousy couch potato"

I don't blame Nia, I'll probably be upset too. Even more upset because it's coming from "Mrs Shrill Voice"

"That's not even the worst part!",She exclaims as her cheeks goes to another shade of red, a darker one. Infact, she looks hot.

Fiery hot!

"She chose Hazel, out of...",She pauses and starts counting her fingers. "How many girls attend this school? Whatever. Out of all the girls in this school!".

She ends with a sad sigh and leans towards me. I strectch out my hand and engulf her in a soothing hug. Well, it wasn't long until the dam behind her eyes broke loose and I felt my shirt dampening with salty tears.

Not that I'm complaining.

Nia has not only been covered in my tears, believe me. Nia might be a dam but I'm the Pacific and Atlantic ocean bottled into one.

"I'm sorry Dora, I shouldn't be bothering you about something this silly but I guess her words got to me", she says pulling away from me.

" I'm your best friend durrhhhh", I smile cheekiky. "But maybe it's aunt flow that has come for a visit, you know? You're always calm".

Nia looks at me embarrassed by what I said before pinching me hard.

Ooowwww.

So much for helping out.

"Whatever", she says smiling.

"Well now that that's over, I have to break the news to you Nee", I say sadly.

Her eyes shine with curiousity. "What happened?", she asks.

"Oh yh. It's time for lunch", I say sheepishly before running out of the toilet and ramming straight into a guy.

Great.

My escape plan is ruined.

I practically bounce back into Nia and she grabs unto my arms to halt her fall. Knowing Nia, it's either she wants to save herself or she wants both of us to fall together.

Typical.

But, we end up not falling. Instead, Nia crashes into the wall and I crash into her. For some akward reason when I try to pry Nia's fingers off my arm, she wouldn't let go of me.

Really?

She's practically holding on to me for her dear life. Her arms move to my neck as she holds me like a sloth.

I crane my neck to look at her, which caused pain to my neck by the way.

Ok.... this is weird..

Nia's blushing furiously behind me. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with my best friend until the guy I ran into clears his throat to get out attention.

He's still here?..

Hmph

"Hey, Nia", He coughs." I know that you're probably still embarrassed about what the old lady said earlier....."

Snicker...

"But please believe me when i say this, Hazel or was it Mabel, was the best tour guide I've ever met. So .... I was thinking, would you like to take me around the school right now?"
