I felt angry, why on earth was he smirking. I felt like ripping the smirk off his face. But decided against it and moved to my seat. *** "I'm coming to pick you up darling"_ A text from my mom "I maybe a little late but wait for me, love you"_ Another text. What was she up to, I sighed and looked at Nickie. "I think my mom is picking me up from school today." I told her "Oh okay!" She said "I'll get going" she said and packed her bag. She stood up ready to leave, "Bye" she smiled at me. She moved out and left me there all by myself. "Too much for, you wanting me out of your life" someone said, and yes I recognized that voice. I thought I was done with this guy, I turned to him. "What's wrong with you?" I asked him irritated. "Well, nothing!" he raised up his hands in self defense. "I was just wondering!" He smirked. I was not in moods for entertaining his nonsense so I grabbed my bag and turned to leave. "Wait up" he called after me. The nerve. I continued walking trying my best to avoid him. Well ... He followed me like his brain did not tell him I was trying to avoid him. I stopped in the parking lot, and sat down. "Wow you are too quick for a girl!" Victor said panting. "Too much panting for a basketball captain, you are just too slow" I snorted back. "Wow, you made some research about me I see" he said smiling at me, like I asked for his smile. "Don't be so full of yourself, everyone was saying that. Not to mention my best friend is obsessed with you" I said rolling my eyes and crossing my legs. "But still you had the time to listen and much better to remember" he shot back. "I thought we are supposed to be avoiding each other " I said and looked at him. "Well, you avoiding me does not work well" he says. I look at him "what do you mean " I ask confused. "I mean you can not avoid me, especially with your eyes hovering over me everywhere I go, like you are a hawk" he says smiling. "What are you trying to say Mr O'Roberts?" I ask him with gritted teeth, very angry. This boy was getting on my last nerve. What was he trying to mean. "Wow you look cute when angry" he smiled at me. Was this time for compliments. My cheeks turned a bright shade of pink, seeping to my neck. I was so dead, God was I blushing. It was either from embarrassment or the compliment because yes I was blushing ... for Victor. I turned away to hide my blush, "Me looking at you is normally a coincidence, I'm normally looking at Cleo. So you think I'm looking at you, after all you are always hanging around her" I said before I could think. I've been irritated all day because of him and Cleo so when my mouth got the chance, it spat it all out at once. "Oh now you sound jealous" he said with a giggle and oh my God... I blushed harder. "And you look beautiful when you blush!" He said and with that he walked away. Seriously this dude was going to be the death of me †††† I sat in my mom's car, I was absent minded. My brain was still thinking about what Victor said, he thought I was cute, then I was beautiful. For a guy I have known for three days, I was thinking too much about him. And these mixed feelings were killing the human in me. One second, I think about how much I hate him. Then I'm thinking of how he complimented me. I rubbed my cheeks to bring my brain back to the present. Victor O'Roberts had to leave my brain as fast as possible. I looked around, we were supposed to be home like 10 minutes ago, what was going on. And I did not understand this road we were taking. I looked at my mom confused. A song was playing. "Stop right there, don't you take another minute. I don't care, you wasted all your words on nothing. I am done with you and all your..." I shook my head and I concentrated back on the road, "Mom, where are we going?" I turned to her and asked. "Took you long enough to ask" she laughed. I sighed remembering how I fazed out thinking of Victor. "You will see when we arrive don't worry" she said reassuringly. "I will fly........." The song continued as I hummed along. We arrived at a place, I looked out I looked like a five star hotel. I shot my mom a disturbed eye. "Why are we here?" I asked confused. "You really are never patient are you!" My mom laughed. "Follow me" she said and smiled at me as she opened the car door. I opened my side and moved out. I followed my mom inside the hotel, it looked luxurious. I swallowed hard at the magnificent view ahead of me. We reached the receptionist. I looked around still dumbfounded by the beauty of the place. "Yes, a table for three." I heard my mom say. I looked at her, coming back to my senses. "Booked under Richard Andrews" she continued. That was my father's name. I was confused, I looked as the receptionist got us a waitress to direct us to our table. Why did we have a table booked under my dad's name. "Here we are" the waitress said. To my surprise, dad was already seated there. "What is happening?" I asked. "Good evening Rose" my dad greeted. Oh I had forgot to great. "Oh I'm sorry, good evening dad" I smiled awkwardly. "Take you seat" dad said and did as he said. "I have not been giving my family time, so I'm here to make up for it with a dinner" he continued. I smiled, "thank you dad" at last. "And also, I have been promoted at work to senior project manager" he said proudly. The night went on beautifully. It had been long since we had time to hang out especially with dad. *** "Just know I was very happy, and also he got promoted" I gladly explained everything to Nickie when I reached school. "My dad atleast remembers he has a family" I smiled at her "I told you, it will all be good" Nickie smiled back. "What are we discussing" someone said. Yeah it was Victor, he asked as he sat in the empty seat to my left. I though we had talked about this. ††††
