Steal His Girl

14

I can't believe I actually went through with it. I went to the movies with Andrew Hills, and survived. I was not expecting to have fun. I wasn't expecting there to be a bond or whatever.

It was almost as if we've known each other our whole lives. It just felt so natural. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we just became friends. This way I could keep him at a distance.

I sat in my seat rummaging through my folder. I doubt I even have the paper I'm looking for but this way I can say that I at least looked for it. I double checked, triple checked but nothing.

As usual I'm not prepared. Mrs. Kennedy is going to have another fit but oh well I honestly don't care.

"You don't have the paper either? Nice." Andrew chuckled, leaning back in his desk.

"I don't even think I had it in the first place." I confessed.

"It's ok I don't even bring a freaking school bag, I'm way worse off."

Mrs. Kennedy slowly walked passed our desks, checking off on her clipboard whether or not we have the piece of paper. "Do you have it?" She asked me.

"I couldn't find it." I simply told her.

She marked off her clipboard and continued down the row.

"You don't have it either? Why am I not surprised."the teacher sighed as she came to Andrews desk. Surprisingly enough she didn't rant about it to the whole class.

He turned towards me trying hard not to laugh. He honestly found getting yelled at so funny. Every time he'd get scolded he'd just laugh it off.

"So did you have fun?" He questioned after a good minute.

" What do you mean?"

"At the movies, with me."

"It was ok.." I lied. I wasn't going to let him know that I actually really enjoyed talking to him.

"Cmon ash, just admit it. You had fun." Did he just read my mind?

"Okay Andrew fine." I surrendered. "I.. had fun."

"Ight, are you free today?" He asked.

"I actually have dance right after school."

I did.

"Then how about tomorrow?" Andrew asked.

"What would we do?" I strangely wanted to hang out but I couldn't help but feel slightly guilty.

" Maybe we could hang out at your house or something."

I don't know how I feel about that. Having him at my house. What if he tries something this time. Since we'd be alone mind you, in my house. He probably didn't want to pull something on me since we were in public. That's possible.

"How about we just go to Starbucks or something?" I suggested.

"Why can't we just chill at your place?"

"It's a mess." I lied again.

"Cut the crap freely!"he hissed at me. "Why. Don't. You. Want. Me. At. Your. House."

This really started to annoy him.

"It's too early." I honestly didn't know how to answer. "My parents would think something was up if they found me with a boy home."

"You said your parents aren't usually home." That is true.

"Can we just go somewhere else?" I insisted.

"Fine, but you're inviting me over on Friday."

Who does he think he is? Your inviting me over Friday.

The old Andrew was back. The one that I grew to know and hate. Maybe Friday was all an act. Maybe he really is just a jerk.

  "Do you not trust me?" He spoke in a low voice. He looked down crossing his arms. He had the same sad look on his face from when he told me about his dad.

  I honestly don't know if I do or not. It's too early to know. We hung out once and I've known him for two weeks. Two weeks isn't long at all.

  "I don't know.." I muttered.

   The rest of the class period was quiet between us. He didn't try to start any conversations or even look at me. He avoided me and I avoided him and that's how it went.

   When class was over he stormed out without looking back. It was probably something I said. He'll come around. If anything he'll forget about it by tomorrow since he'll probably still want to hangout.

   I'm not worried honestly. It's not like we're dating. We're barely friends yet.

   I'll eventually learn to trust him. I mean hopefully he won't be as bad as I think he is. He told me things about him that he hasn't told everyone else. We hung out one time and he trusted me with his life story.

   That has to say something. He genuinely trusted me with that information.

   He really went through a lot. No joke I feel so bad for him. Maybe he needs a friend and I have no problem being his friend.

Just as long as nothing more comes from it.
