“You’re totally smitten,” I said giving him a chuckle.
“What do you mean?” He replied. Confused.
“I mean how can you not realize that you’re crushing after L-”
“NO! Don’t even finish that sentence, Soaf. I’m not. Okay? NO. I told you she’s a bitch anyway.”
“You also told me she’s beautiful. And she is the ‘It girl’.” I said. Emphasizing ‘It girl’.
“Ughh. Everyone at school thinks that way, Soaf. It’s nothing new. Besides, she has a boyfriend.” He replied, shrugging his shoulders.
What?
How come I don’t know anything about this?
“She does?” I asked.
“Yeah. It’s pretty obvious. She is kinda Popular. ”
****
I heard the doorbell. I stood up and asked Mike to start practicing the questions meanwhile I attend whoever is at the door.
I opened the door and came face to face with popular blockhead a. k. a Raymond.
“Hey princess! Umm… looking good.” He said as his eyes roamed from head to toe.
Yeah, Thanks!
I really look great in my minion pajamas and unwashed hair.
“Nice joke” I glared at him.
“I suppose you are not ready yet. It’s fine I can wait.” He said shaking his head slowly.
Ohh, please. How about you wait here FOREVER?
“Ummm… no.. yes… uhhh come in I’ll tell you.”
He entered the house and I told him about Mike. That’s what I’m supposed to do, I think. I can’t leave mike like this.
The weird part is Raymond asked me if he could help mike too. I went into the kitchen to get some snacks. As I came out I saw Raymond actually helping Mike in maths.
“Soaf, he is really good at explaining things. Really!” Mike said with his expressions full of excitement.
I smiled at Ray, he was smirking at me!
JERK
Mike went at seven. Raymond and I chatted for a while and then I walked up to his car with him. He had an Audi. No wonder he is rich.
“It was really fun with you princess.”
He said while his gentle eyes were gazing into mine.
“Thank you Ray and I’m sorry I spoiled it all today,” I replied guiltily.
“No, Soaf. Instead, you made the day. ”
Oh boy that smile
His eyes were still gazing mine. I could feel the electrifying sensations going down my spine.
“Bye Soaf.” He said as while ruffling my hairs which were already a mess. I swatted his hand away glaring at him.
“Goodbye Ray.” Words came out of my mouth in a whisper as I watched his car going into the darkness.
