Chapter 8
787 Words
I'm stressing out like crazy! I've never been in a relationship before, and now I'm suppose to fake it. I sort of know how it works, I've read about it, seen it in movies, thought about it, imagined it but never experienced it.
" Who's that boy outside Kathy?"
" It's a friend." I can't believe he's out already.
" You mean, boyfriend?"
" What, pfff naah". My mom looks at me with that face she usually does when she knows I'm lying.
" Ok fine. He is my boyfriend."
" You have a boyfriend?!" My sister screams.
" Who has a boyfriend!" Now my dad knows too and I hear him coming to the kitchen.
" I have to go, bye." And I rush out of the house.
" Hello sweety."
" Don't call me that. No one is around."
" Why so bad tempered?"
" My parents think you're my boyfriend, and i didn't deny it. I'm going to be questioned tonight."
" It's fine, no need to stress like that."
" Yeah but I don't like lying to them. Anyway, where's your bike?"
" Well the contract said no bike, so I brought my car."
" Pretty. Let's get going then."
We arrive at school.
" You ready Kitty?"
" Don't call me that!" He smirks and gets out of the car, and comes and opens my door to let me out. When I do he puts his arm around me and we head to our lockers. Everyone, absolutely everyone is looking at us. I hear whispers from every corner.
" Everyone is staring."
" That means it's working Kitty."
" Why do you call me Kitty?"
" Because I like the way you look at me when you get upset."
" And how's that?" He leans towards his locker and pulls me closer, I blush. He's so much taller from this perspective.
" Well, there is little crease in between your eyes, that appears, it's cute." I tense and now I'm blushing even more, and he's smiling.
" Why do I make you so nervous?"
" You don't make me nervous."
" Yes I do, because every time I give you a compliment you tense up and blush and get all weird."
" That's not true." I know it is true but I don't want him to be right. I realize we're still hugging so I pull away and get what I need from my locker.
" Why did you stop, everyone was digging it."
" Because I need to get stuff from my locker."
" Sure Kitty."
" Will you stop with that!"
" Nope." I role my eyes.
After that the bell rings and we both go different directions. Sarah isn't here today but I get a text from her during math.
-You never told me you were dating the only guy you hate!
-Be here tomorrow and I'll explain everything.
-What are you hiding from me!
-Just be here tomorrow.
-I can't wait until tomorrow, I'll call you tonight. XOXO
That finishes our mini conversation. Lunch time arrives quickly and Matt has already reserved a table for us. He waves at me making sure I come.
" What's the rush?"
" So has anyone asked you about us?"
" Just Sarah, and she's not in school so the news is already everywhere."
" Perfect. All the guys in my classes asked me, not Jake yet but his friends did. They asked how we ended up together."
" What did you say?"
" I said, after Jake acted like a jerk I came to comfort you and we got really close and then we kissed and now we're together."
" You said we kissed!"
" Well yeah if not it wouldn't believable."
" Ok, I guess it's not so bad as a story."
" So that's the story we'll say to people?"
" I guess. It sounds believable for me."
We have lunch together and then go back to our classes.
Once I get out of school he's waiting for me next to his car.
" Your chariot awaits my lady." he says while making a little bow.
" Well thank you kind sir." and i return his bow.
We both laugh and get in the car.
" So how were your classes?"
" They were ok. I really don't like my math teacher. She's super old."
" I bet you have Miss.Backer, yeah we call her the lizard lady." I laugh, because it could actually be true. We don't talk for the rest of the ride until he parks in front of my house.
" Thanks for the ride. See you tomorrow morning."
" Bye kitty." he grins and leaves.
