Geek Transformation.

Chapter 10.

Ugh you don't know how much I dislike you.

But of course that's not what comes out of my mouth.

I don't have that kind of courage.

I don't have guts to say those things to her.

"Of course" I say smiling falsely.

"Well I uh better get going" Slade informs clearing his throat.

"Oh already?" Claire questions.

He looks at her nodding "yes, already".

Thanks a lot Claire thanks a lot.

I hope you're happy.

He begins to collect his belongings shoving them into his book bag.

"See you tomorrow?" I ask.

He nods with a smile.

In the process of getting up Claire falsely yells.

Throwing herself backwards causing Slade's arms to catch her.

Anger begins to boil within.

It's weird.

I never felt that before.

"Are you ok?" he questions lifting her up.

"I am now. Thank you, Slade" she replies softly stroking his arm.

"I'm just a bit clumsy that's all" she adds with a laugh.

"Right" he says.

"Wow your arms are so....strong" she compliments.

He clears his throat.

"Thank you" he replies.

"Can I feel your muscles?" she asks.

"Uh sure" he says allowing her to do so.

"Wow, you go to the gym often?" she asks.

"When I can yeah" he responds.

"Oh maybe we can go together sometime you know and....", "enough!" I order standing up from the couch angrily.

They both look at me.

Claire with a confused and shocked expression.

Slade with a shocked yet amused expression, I could tell because of the way he was grinning at me.

I was shocked myself.

I didn't know I had that in me, to demand something so loudly.

And having it granted!

I blush.

"I mean.....uh Slade has to go. And you're in his way" I rephrase trying to cover up what just happened a few minutes ago.

But who am I kidding how can any of us forget what just happened?!

Claire just glared at me.

"See ya!" Slade says with a wave quickly exiting my house his grin still plastered on his face leaving Claire and I standing in the living room.....alone.

"What the hell was that?" she spats.

I stayed silent.
