The Dying Rose and Us Ch. 3
"Hi" Omen said lifting his right hand.
my friends smiled at him and replied with "hi" or "hey" even "sups."
Jamie had a spark in her eyes' when she saw him, i knew she liked him. i don't blame her.
with that conclusion i'd decided not to try anything with him, except be his friend.
i felt my gaze shift to the ground, i quickly currected myself and started hard atnothing. "so what's up?" i asked.
it wouldn't be the first time i've let something involving a guy go.
"oh! yeah! now i remember" jamie said slapping my arm, letting out a loud smack.
i rubbed where she hit me, whispering "ow..."
"that new movie just came out today in theaters, you know, the one with htat one dude and zombies. you coming?"
will i ever find a guy that none of my friends will like as more then a friend?
max... i could've had him, but megan liked him. kyle... i could've had him too, but jamie liked him. in fact they went steady for 2 months before God knows what happened. tey broke up and kyle and mine friendship was ruined.
"of course, i have nothing better to do better tonight anyway"
Oh well! i'll live. i'll find somebody to call my own... someday.
jamie's eye's flickered toward omen. she wanted him to come too, and she wanted me to invite him. "can you come, omen?" i asked doing just what she wanted. my heart was breaking over a guy i hardly knew. a guy i didn't even have feelings for, i just came out here to be nice to him.
a light gleamed in his eyes' as he beamed at my invitation.
"i'd like that"
My heart pounded hard against my chest. not out of that whole "love at first sight" thing but... out of fear.
granted, he was cute and call, he seemed kind. just something wasn't right about him.
"oh, do you know where i can go to get a schedual change?" he asked, head looking at all of us.
"the counsler" jamie offered.
he gave her a flirtatous smile, "walk me?"
she smiled back "yeah" they left together heading into the main vuilding. my heart went with them.
i felt dead and empty. why couldn't a guy find me attractive? why couldn't they flirt with me? i'll give myself the credit of saying guys find me attractive over the internet, where they can't see me. same for over the phone.
i'll live.
"so who was taht guy?"
"i don't know... but he's cute! ugh, jamie gets all the luck.
ahhhhh, my friends.
"yeah he's cute... but-."
"what?"
"nothing, i just hope he's good to jamie. if they do get together i mean."
5TH PERIOD.
we're reading To Kill A Mocking bird.
everybody hates it, except me.
everybody thinks it's annoying, except me.
everbody thinks it's a waste of time, except me.
The teacher is calling on ppl to read. i'm just skimming along, why? cuz i can't understand the reader. and honestly their low rumbing is destracting to me.
UGH. pleasep lease, teacher call on me! why don't you ever call on me? is it becuz i actually like the book?
is it becuz of my speech thingy? my stutter?
please call on me... why don't you ever call on me?
oh wait, you just did....
my readingy, difeinately not the way i pictured it. i talked like i had something in my mouth, and occassionally i stuttered.
The teacher cut me off before i could finish the paragraph. my cheeks hurt. a knock came at the door. miss killi stood, walking to the door in a dominate mannor. a surprised look on her face was the first thing i saw. Omen, was the next.
he held up a schedual, the same as before in mrs. arrtak's class. miss killi looked it over several times. wait it hard to believe that omen was now apart of her class? it was for me. "seat yourself" she said sternly. i senced there was more to her words, but i had no need to desifer it at that moment. his eyes' narrowed at me, all i could do was stare at his arrival with my jaw hanging. he took a seat next to me. i could feel his eyes' on me.
he sniffed.
"someone farted in this chair"
i couldn't help laughing. he said it so seriously.
"h-have you... taken any semester exams in your last school?"
miss killi asked nervously.
"yessum" he answered.
"good" she sat down telling him to share a book with me then continued reading aloud to us. we already took our exam in this class. he leaned unusually close to me. i let my fingure trail where we were in the book before letting it fall to the side.
"you smell good" he whispered in my ear. my face burned at his comment.
what about jamie? he was flirting with her earlier... or... he... uh... smiled at her... a flirtasous smile... right?
"the movies are tonight, right?"
i nodded, unwilling to speak.
"where should i go?"
forget trying to follow along with the reading, cuz that's not working, especially with Omen breathing on my neck.
"do you get picked up after school?" i asked.
"no"
"good, then you and i will walk to the theater together"
"nice"
"i'm suer jamie wouldn't mind joining us"
anger flashed across his face, sacing me again.
"of course"
miss killi asked us questions about the chapter we just finished. as usual, i knew the answers, i was just to "unmotivated" to answer the questions.
6TH PERIOD.
spahnish, it's amazing that i'm passing this class.
i do nothing in that class. i just sit and read, sometimes write if i don't have a book to read.
today, i do have one. it's called A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. i grabbed it at random in the library. at first i thought i wouldn't have liked it, and i con't like it.
I LOVE IT!
'tis the awesomest book EVAR!!
over all my day here in class in normal, except... omen is also in this class. and he just so happens to sit next to me.
our regular teacher, coach cansado, is gone. so we have a sub. don't know her name, but her basic rules for us is just to do our review and keep our mouths shut.
alot of us arent doing either.
Omen had pullled me away from Libba Bray's words of art and wordlessly forced me to talk to him.
he was actually quite interesting. we both liked to draw, and loved music and songs. we both liked the color red, black, and blue.
he told me tales of when he was a child. i didnt' believe half of what he said. would you believe somebody who told you they were hit by a train that didn't stop until they reached a station 2 miles from whre they hit you, and before ppl could see you were hit you crawled off and ran away? i don't.
but he talks so seriously about it i can't help but be entertained.
