Chapter 8: Goodbye, but No Goodnight

It was lunch break, and we were all sitting in same set of table, I mean Annie, Lexi and I, wasn’t expecting anyone else, though.

Today would have been much greater without the history class, Well, it’s all in the past now. Mmm come to think of it I didn’t really have a bad time, I have this gorgeous girl sitting next to me and I can swear it that i, Elizabeth wasn’t understanding anything anymore, wow! Isn’t that great? .

The uncanny feelings am having now is that Ann, she’s up to something no good. She has been teasing me with her looks the minute we arrived here to eat, eat? Pfff!! I wonder how that is going now cause am just here with my usuals, hot chocolates and sandwich, Ann was having a sandwich too but with a pineapple juice, I think am gonna switch into that now …. I mean, …. I’m not crazy, right? . Well, Lexi is having ..... “wait a minute, Lexi, why aren’t you having anything to eat”?

I asked, looking up at her with my puzzled face. And all she could do was just shrug… “ Well, you see Betty, I don’t wanna cry anymore attempting to fit in into one of my favourite pants”

“What are you supposed to mean by that” I asked, I still don’t understand a thing about this freak here , though she’s been with me like forever but still a freak.

Can’t you see am getting fat, for sh**t sake !!! ,”. **

Now why is she yelling .

“Hey Lex, that’s all bullshit, you ain’t getting any fat, I mean look at you, you are so beautiful, and you do really have a great body too.

” Now Ann is trying her possible best to make this bitch quit bluffing about her body and shitty diet she’s tryna kill herself with , well, the Lexi I know for sure loves food and nothing more than just food , so I think she’s putting up a little weight, just a little, I don’t want to go home soak wet with her tears or something, thank goodness there’s nothing like mind reading .

“Annie thank you so much”, I ... I know you're kidding, but you're probably doing it for me not to feel bad,”.

“Am really gonna start working out good some of these days…” girl, look at you, you're looking so hot !!!”

Okay, let me get this straight, just a while ago Lex was all about tears and .. …. Well, I'm not gonna say that, but she’s right about one thing ,my neighbour is really steaming hot AF.

“Bye Annie, by Betty” as expected I got my cheek's kiss, but not just me, this time Annie also got here’s. If it were to be someone else, mmm... I don’t wanna sound like am jealous or something. Haha, why would I even be, well, not yet .

The next ten minutes drive was a silent one, neither of us could speak up first, but she won’t fail to give me those warming smile when those deep forest green eyes of her meets mine grey ones, I will say I kind of like and hate it at same time

Cause if I was talking, I bet that I will barely finish up one word cause I will be stuttering like shit, so we just let the silence and our eyes do the talking .

“Okay then, see ya tomorrow morning, huh?,” she said as she turned from the car to set her gaze on my face,

“Yeah, tomorrow” my responses was quite cold ... what’s this feeling of disappointment now , do you expect something besides that?

She searched my face like she’s searching for some clue or something or rather this feeling of dis... No, I'm not feeling disappointed, take it or take !.

“You sure get your hair done in the morning,” she uttered amusingly, god!! She’s pretty, way prettier when she bites her lower lips, damn that sexy and not pretty you know , is she betting on me, to know if I was gonna fall for her, or to know if I was a dumbass gay ! Well, I haven’t been so sure about that before, now am certain , I'm a dumbass gay, just with her. She awakened the gayness in me . “Fuck shit” when will all this games stop already,

The lights are all off just the way it will be when no one is at home, And why is it so quit in here, I can’t get my hands on what’s happening in my house as I opened the door, not really it was looked, I got the keys from beneath the Foot-match at the front door where mum will always droop the key if no one is home ... ohh!! Screw my pea brains, it’s Tuesday and my mum will be coming back home today, how could I forget that, well, I wouldn’t I .... okay, all I could ever think of all day was Ann and our future together. Betty!! Seriously!? , I can’t believe I have such a delusional mind set , Lexi will say that am being paranoid . I chuckle at my own ridiculous jokes .

I can’t seem to find jay anywhere around, his probably at his friend's house, and won’t be returning any moment now , that boy thinks his already old enough to do whatever he wants to do .. His nightmares tho, I won’t give a damn about how mum is gonna screw him when she gets home before him.

I stayed up in my room all night Uhm... not really all night but quite long, of course at the window, but no one showed up, I didn’t get a glimpse.

I felt bad, I felt my heart sink a little, I felt like my day wasn’t really that over .

What’s with this green-eyed girl who just moved in.

I love Lex, the bitch has been with me all my life, I never had any strange or weird feelings toward her,

This whole feelings is so new and strange for me, I only had a thing..... not real “THING” cause I was a dumb ass 12-year-old, what’s his name again? … Umm… Caleb Owen #son of a bitch”, I hated him so much back then after that one stupid kiss, he went about lying and bluffing that I gave him a BJ, and also kissed him. Though the kiss wasn’t a lie, but damn it that wasn’t even up to a second.

He didn’t just get away with that, I bid him goodbye with a broken noise to Australia, to hell with whatever reasons that made him left, but it was a good one though.

I'm sure jay is back home now cause I can hear some cracks at the door and I heard him groaning about being famished, Well, lucky for him am not as bad as he thinks“ jokes on me”. I left some pancakes for him in the kitchen .

“Betty!!, Betty!!”,

“You better get your ass out of the bed, you don’t wanna keep your friend waiting for long today.”

I could hear my mum loud and clear even in my dreams, damn we needed no alarms, she could do all alarms does. I lazily slugged out of the bed, damn, I must have slept off with a glimpse of hope that she will come to her window.

And as expected, I had a nightmare.

I heard mum repeating the same word I had in my dreams earlier, oh!, it wasn’t a dream ,

My mum is making a big mistake by saying friend... like “just friends”? I scoffed .

All I know is that she ain’t just a friend, no. We are gonna be more than just friend .. I can really feel the grin the thought of Annie and I being more than just friends brought to more face, things couldn’t get crazier this morning, right?

#####

“I can’t believe you're such a lazy ass”, what’s the big deal there now, huh?” She uttered, tucking some stray hairs away from my face.

“You would have sounded much better if you ain’t sounding like my mum this morning” I said without looking up at her face, cause I know she literally has those smiling eyes on me already and those kissable lips are just an inch away from me ...” okay brains, let’s get you back in here, I don’t want you wondering about thinking of some lustful things

Okay, here’s the bad news, in a few minutes Lex will be getting in here, spoiling all this moment, I mean … Annie, you shouldn’t have asked her to come along with us.

I can’t say anything when she comes in now, she will be ruining a lot of things for me..

“You didn’t get to bid me goodnight last night?”.

Pardon?, I asked with my eyes wide open, and she just giggled and said, “yes last night, just like we did a night before it, windows, remember”?

She was trying really hard to make me understand where she’s heading to, and all I could do here was just pretend not even have a clue about what she’s saying, she really looks more pretty now with that confused face .

Oh baby, you just don’t know how long I waited for you last night ....

This can’t be too insane for me?

I mean, am really having some butterflies in my stomach now, I think I have a fourth percent chances of her being gay, oh, here I go again, thinking too much already, don’t you get? She waited for me too, I don’t mind tho even if it’s not as long as I did, all that matters now is that she actually did have me in mind.

I think my face is turning pink right this moment from hearing those, and she really called me baby…!
