Our Weird Relationship (BWWM)

Chapter 7: Boredom

Chapter 7: Boredom

  After lunch, the rest of my classes rolled around. Today Beth succumbed to eating cafeteria food, although she complained about how it wasn't as good Burger King, she was quiet.  April was giving me an earful about Aiden being my partner. She wouldn't stop talking about him at lunch, eventually Beth chimed in and it was like an assault to my ears.

   "Guys are you serious?" I groan. I was eating some fries off of Bronx's plate. He hasn't said anything to me since this morning, and of course I asked him what was wrong, but he just shook his head. I asked Beth if she talked to him, and she said no. "Beth you should have seen the way Aiden was looking at Nia. And you should have seen the way she was talking to him." April exclaimed to Beth. Beth became engrossed in wanting to hear about the 'certain way we were treating each other'.  

  "You guys are overacting. I don't treat him any other way than I treat anyone else." Beth and April frown at me. "Can you guys stop talking about this dude? Let's talk about chicks, How about Genevieve Torres other there," He points to the table across from ours. "She and her friends are hot. I have three classes with them, and every time I walk past them, they giggle." Beth rolls her eyes.

"Genevieve looks like she's 12," She says. "Yeah and Marybeth looks like an orange version of the girl from Roommates. The one who was being obsessed over," April adds. "And Kieran looks like a blonde Katy Perry. Go with the blonde." I finish. Bronx frowned. "You guys didn't make this fun." I chuckle; he slides his plate over to me. "You can have the rest." I grab three and eat them whole.

       School ends and I go home. When I get there no one is there, so I just chill on the couch. I end up watching How I Met Your Mother Reruns. After about three episodes, I go in the kitchen to find something to eat. I look around my fridge and decide to eat some leftover salad from last nights dinner. Sitting down at the table by myself and take a bite. "Mmm." I say in delight.

  "This is some good salad." I say out loud.  

   I stop. Why was I talking to myself?

   You're a loner that's why. My head says.

   I am not. I have plenty of friends. I reply.  

    I shake my head and search for my phone. I get up and see that I was sitting on it. Scrolling through my contacts, I try to see if I can invite someone over.

I obviously need some more company than Neil Patrick Harris.

I text Beth to see if she could come over, I wait for a couple of seconds and she replies back with a sad face and saying she can't. Her mom and dad are going out with her aunt and she has to watch her little brother.  I groan, feeling her pain. Her little brother Jesús is a pain in the ass. I text back its okay.

     I find April's contact and tap on her name. I press the call button and it starts dialing. After three rings she picks up. "Hello?" I jump up. "April Hi, Can you—do you want to come over?"  I wait for her response. "Uh Yeah, I'll ask my mom for a ride." She says. I nod. "Okay Great. See you in a few." I say.

April arrived. "What do you want to do?" I asked her. "Watch a movie?" April sits up. I agree and starting searching through our movie cabinet "Wait, Where is your bathroom?" I told her where it was and she walked off.   I pick out three movies and wait for her to return.

     Seconds later April comes back, "Alright let's see what we got." She claps her hands. I show her the three I picked.  "Wow, what options." She chooses one and we get snacks.

    The previews come on, and we talk about them. "You know I've never seen this." She says. I look at her in shock. "What?" She laughs. "Well you're going to love it. Anything with a hot star in it is golden."

 ****

  An hour later, I turn to see April crying. The movie was almost over and she was sobbing. I grab some tissues and pass them to her. She wipes her face, sniffling. The movie ends, "Wow that was really sad." I nod. "I know, but it was great wasn't it?" She nods. "Well I want to laugh now, put in the other movie." I smile at her request. "Here we go." I start the movie.

   Thirty minutes through the movie, I glance at April and see her asleep. Her mouth is slightly open and she has her hand on her stomach. I chuckle and turn off the movie. I pat her shoulder. "April," I get no response. "April wake up." I lightly shake her.  Her eyes begin to open and she blinks a couple of times. "Uh?" I give her a small smile. "You went to sleep." She instantly sits up. "Oh I did, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She apologizes.  I shake my head, "No its okay. I'm getting a little tired too. You can finish your nap or I can take you home. It doesn't matter." She yawns. "Never mind, come on. We can take a nap together."

     I help her off the couch and show her to my room. I go in and see April lying in my bed asleep. I smile. This is my pregnant friend. I fall asleep just as quickly as she did.
