Complicated

Chapter 6

I snapped back to reality when Cole splashed water in my face.

"What the heck!" I shout angrily.

"Are you daydreaming about you and me doing it?" he teases

"So, what are you doing here Umbrella? Looking for me?" he asks while arranging his bag.

"I have a favor to ask." I say shyly.

"Interesting! I'm listening." he opens another bottle of water and starts to drink it.

"Can you help me get a boyfriend?"

He spits the water he drank on my face.

"Seriously?!" We shout at the same time.

"Wth Cole! You're disgusting! I'm all wet!!!"

"Can you repeat what you just said earlier?"

I take a deep breath while I try to calm myself. "Can you help me get a boyfriend?"

"Who's the unlucky guy you're eyeing on?"

"Nick."

"And what's in it for me?"

"I'll let you bully me anytime."

"Whether I have your permission or not, I'm still gonna bully you."

I roll my eyes "Fine, what do you want from me?"

"Hmmm. What do I want from a loser like you?" he crosses his arm while his eyes are on the roof. I look up at where he's looking.

"Are you gonna find your answer there?"

"Hey! Aren't you staying in a 2-bedroom-apartment near here?"

"Yeah, why?" How did he know about that? Oh no. I think I know what he's thinking.

"Say hello to your new room mate!"

What the hell did I get myself into?

"Why would you want to stay with me?"

"Well duh, I told you before my room mate is such a loser."

"I'm gonna need more than that to convince me."

"Well, he's weird. He has this pet that I'm not so fond of."

"And that is......"

"A spider. I hate those things. Imagine their hairy legs touches your skin?"

"Pft. Cole Johnson is afraid of spiders?"

"Correction, I said hate. I never said anything about being afraid of them."

"Keep telling yourself that."

"So, when am I gonna move in?"

"I didn't agree yet!" I angrily yell at him.

"Think about it. Whenever you'll go on a date, you just simply walk to my room and ask me what to wear. And besides," he looks at me from head to toe.

"We have lots of work to do and by the looks of 'it', it's gonna take us a whole week before we get to make our first move." he added.

"Fine. But no bringing girls over!"

"Deal. When did you say I can move in?"

"ASAP."

"Let's just do it this weekend."

I nod, "I'm parched. Can I have some water?"

"Sure." he hands me a bottle of water.

I drink it then I spit the water on his face.

"Now we're even."

***

Friday after my last class. Im walking towards my apartment. I can't wait to get to my bed. I spent the last 2 nights cleaning the spare room so by tomorrow, Cole can move in.

Unknown Number: Meet me in front of the main gate. -Cole

Oh man. I'm just halfway to my apartment. Dang you Johnson. With no response to the message, I turn around and head back to the school's main gate. I see Cole standing.

"What?" I ask on a pissed tone.

"Hmmm," there he goes again, that head-to-toe look.

"Good that you have long hair."

"Why? What's going on?"

"Men like something to grab on while humping someone from the back."

"You're disgusting."

"Let's just say that's based on experience."

"Come on, let's go shopping."

I really hate shopping. It's a waste of time and money but whatever...
