I looked up and smiled at him. Man, I am in a smiley mood today. I opened the door fully to let him in. He was smiling too, until his eyes landed on Chris who was picking himself up off the floor. What took him so long?
"Oh yeah," I said waking myself up from my wee day dream. "Michael this is Chris, Chris Michael. Yada yada..." I said going over to get my bag that was currently place next to staircase. After placing my bag on my shoulder and fixed my messed up hair, I turned back to the very silent guys standing in exactly the same positions staring at each other.
"Okay... Have you both lost your voices?" I ask looking at them as their heads snapped to me. I just wondered towards the door. I am completely ready for school. Well I hope, I always seem to forget something or other. "Well are we going to school or are you to just going to have a staring contest all day, although that sounds fun... Anyway." I blabbered on Kath style, then realized something. "What are you doing here Michael?" I asked curiously tilting my head to the side only to notice he was wearing a uniform too.
"Sorry, I was just wondering if I could get a lift. Cars bust." He stated, no sign of emotion. What happened?
"Sure," I said then turned to Chris, who was currently looking of into space. "That's okay, right Chris?" I said walking over to him and nudging him. What had gotten into both of them?
"What? Oh, yeah, sure man no problem." He replied while wrapping an arm around my waist as we walked out towards his car. His expression was back to the friendly one I knew. It is not like him to be rude.
We made it to school, on time surprisingly, but only in time for the bell to ring. In the car I had sat in the back and it had looked like Michael and Chris got on okay, not a lot of talking, but I guess they didn't really have a lot of chance with me in the car. Whoops. I also don't think Michael's the chatty type and I know Chris tends to just listen and absorb. I seem to attract the quiet types.
"Do you want me to show you to the office?" I asked Michael as we walked towards the school. Chris' head snapped up.
"Kath, it's okay, I'll take him. I mean I am going that way anyway." Chris said quickly. What was with that?
"Okay." I replied cheerily. I then turned and walked to my class.
Michaels P.O.V
I watched her walk away, her hips swinging gently. She has to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Even in her school clothes she still cleaned the floor with all other girls. And the weirdest thing is I don't think she knows just how amazing she is.
"Don't!" What was his name? Chris? Yeah, Chris said looking at me warningly.
"What?" I asked as he started to walk again.
"Kath, don't." He said again. Is this guy incapable of sentences? I remembered walking into Kaths house to see this guy there. I honestly thought he was her boyfriend, I was kind of pissed, but the way Kath was with him made it clear she thought of him as a best friend. But I am not so sure about his feelings for her. It just doesn't seem that simple. He was only proving a point by warning me off her.
"Why? Is she taken?" I asked, wondering what his response would be.
"No! She is not for people to "take"!" He said sounding disgusted at the word take.
"Why?" I asked again genially curious, but winding him up was a bonus. He looked at me then turned to focus on the path again.
"Because." he stated. I was about to make him elaborate but he had grabbed an okay looking girl - nothing compared to Kath - who was walking past that had just said hi to Chris. Actually most people have been saying hi to him. "Holly, can you take Mike" He said motioning to me. Mike? What? I hate that name. "to the reception. Maybe you could show him around? I'd owe you one?" He said to the drooling blond. Drooling at Chris. She slowly turned her gaze to me, only to go straight back to ogling Chris here.
