One Tough Cookie [COMPLETED ✔]

Chapter 3

Wow, I was shocked, we've never spoken before, how can an insult be the first thing she says, the real shocker is how can she look so beautiful insulting me.

I couldn't help but smile, at least she spoke to me, that's a start.

When class was finally over, I could see she was happy, the joy in her eyes was unbelievable, It was like that of a child who's been craving for a particular flavour of ice-cream for a while and one day you stumble upon a shop that just happen to have that flavour, so you buy it and give it to the child, you know how happy and jumpy that child would be, well I could see that child jumping in her eyes

Wait, what the fuck am I saying, does that even make sense? fuck Drew, you're losing it

"I'll come over to your house for the project " she said and she walked away.

I'm sure you find it surprising that she knows where I live, seeing as she doesn't even like me and all, well the story behind it is quiet funny.

One Tuesday afternoon after classes were over, we took the bus home, this was when she didn't have any friends yet and never smiled.

The bus dropped us at our bus-stop so we had to walk the rest of the way home.
Since Amy didn't like me, we didn't talk nor did she acknowledge me.

still, I could tell she went out of her way to walk a lot faster than me.
she was constantly looking back, checking to see if I was still there.

I had a feeling she thought I was following her — which I wasn't, but I guess she didn't know that.

As time went on, I could tell she was getting pissed, cause she stopped trying to look back subtly, and started glaring at me.

I didn't say anything, I just kept up my slow pace.

soon we reached my house, so I started to go in and stopped to open the door when she suddenly shouted;

  "stop following me you freak!" as she turned around, only to see I was no longer behind her, but at my doorstep.

I couldn't help but smirk at her, cause I found the whole situation funny.

I noticed a change of colour on her face before she suddenly turned around and ran away blushing.

  It was the cutest thing I had ever seen, I still smile every time I remember it.

I am happy she is coming to my place. If I am being honest, my crush on her never died, I just pushed it inside a box in my head.

You know, most people assume that in other for you to have a crush on someone, something drastic or extremely romantic must happen, but that's not true, most times it just come from no where.
One day I am wondering why this pretty brown eyed girl dislikes me for no reason, the next thing I know I'm staying up at night replaying the scene of her blushing and running away, with smile on my face. Soon, I'm looking for her in the crowd, and sometimes glancing at her in class.

I really liked her. In fact, I still do, but I never had the opportunity to talk to her, I was one of the popular guys in school (I don't know why), so I played the role they gave me, Not to mention her unreasonable dislike for me.

Okay, maybe those are just excuses, maybe I just didn't have the balls to talk to her with out a genuine reason.

               *********

After class I waited at the school gate for Ben my best friend, but I was still thinking about my project with Amy

"Parker!!" He shouted, I didn't realise when he got in front of me

"What, what happened" I said confused

"I've been calling your name for hours, what are you thinking about"

"Hours, really?" I gave him a questioning look

"You know what I mean" he replied

"Nothing really, I was just thinking of how I have to go home early, Mr Daniel gave me a project and my partner is coming to my place" I said answer his previous question

He smiled "ooh you mean Amy Monroe, the crush you never got over"

Damn this school and it's gossipers, they move faster than the flash,

He continued "yeah, I heard from some people you guys got paired up, talk about luck since you just broke up with Jane, maybe finally you can get her to like yo-" I covered his mouth with my hands

"Shut the fuck up dude, you want the whole world to hear" I said looking around, some people were staring but I doubt they heard,

I don't need that kind of publicity right now, if anyone found out I have a crush, it would spread like wildfire, if this school is known for anything, it is gossiping.

"Fine, fine geez" he said removing my hand but still smiling

Benjamin Cobber was my only real friend, I mean, I have a lot of acquaintances and people I speak to, but he is my best friend, and he knew about my crush from the beginning, he always pushed me to talk to her but I never did.

when I told him I started dating Jane he wasn't happy, he knew I didn't like her that much and neither did he, he always thought she was egocentric and rude, with a bad personality—which to an extent is true. He also hated the fact that she took the role of our school's mean girl.

Jane and I never really had a connection, I didn't like her that way either, but for some reason she kept bugging me, telling me about her feelings and what not.
She knew I didn't like her that way, but she was persistent, so I decided to give it a try, hoping my feeling for her would grow over time, but it never did and I couldn't keep pretending, I couldn't do that to myself or to her, so I ended it.

Last Friday when I told Ben about the break up he probably became the happiest man alive.

And frankly so was I, it felt good to be free.

"Anyways, good luck man. ask her out this time, unless you're still too chicken to do that" he teased

"What? no! dude you know she doesn't like me like that, or at all. besides, I want to start small, you know ...as friends "

I looked away, he laughed. I knew it was because my ears were a little coloured,

"Okay, whatever bro, but do you know where the worst place for a guy to be stuck in is?"

"No, where?" I asked

He smiled "friend-zone bro, just try not to get friend-zoned okay?"

I laughed "yes sir"

*****

When I got home I couldn't help but be excited, I literally stood by the door, waiting for the door bell to ring.

And two hours later, finally it did.

*DING - DONG*
