Just Try to Guess [eight]

It was two hours after everyone had left Nicole's house when the group came back. Robbie, Jack and Matthew had been waiting since they kicked everyone out, and they had been cleaning up the house. The four of them walk in laughing histarically until Mikayla looks up and stops in her tracks. She scowels and crosses her arms and said," What are you doing here."

Both nervous Matthew and Jack at the same time said, " Umm, well I wasn't sure who you told to stay." She had meant it towards Mtthew but it could have worked both ways.

"I meant Robbie, the one who is actually associated with our group." She said looking over at them. Jack was about to say something about him and Nicole, but stopped himself. This was not the right time.

"I think it's time everyone leaves," Nicole said. Faith and Robbie were first out the door followed by Mikayla. Then Matthew and Charlie left at the same time. But Jack held back a bit.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he said with a smile and she smiled back and nodded as he leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. Then he ran out the door.

While walking to her car Charlie noticed her and Matthew walking the same direction. "So, the you really like Mikayla don't you," she said. He looked at her shocked and stopped in his tracks.

"What are you talking about," he asked.

"Oh don't play with me, i'm talking about the big guy with a bad reputation falling for my best friend," she said grinning knowing she was right. He looked at her and then looked down towards his feet trying to hide that he actually did like Mikayla and that his rep. was true. He had been the player, the heartbreaker, the one who never fell. "Yeah, I knew it! I can read people," Charlie said excited.

"Ok, fine I like her," he said stessing the word like and Charlie nodded. "She's different," he continued, "unlike any other girl i have ever met."

"Well, lucky for you she really, really hates you. And she probably hasn't hated anyone this much since well since i can barly remember." she said with a smile, but just left Matthew in confusion.

"And how is that lucky?" he asked.

"Because this vast hate means she lis into you," Charlie said happy.

Matthew began waving his fingure at her and laughing, "Ok you aren either totally punking me or psyco."

"Listen Matthew, Mikayla is my best friend. I know her better than anyone and I can assure you i'm not crazy."

"So your punking me."

Charlie rolled her eyes and took a deep breath, "She does not want to admit to anyone, including herself, that she likes you because she hates weakness. She is trying to trick herself and everyone else into thinking that she hates you." Matthew was still lost.

"So, I still have my magic," he said with a huge smirk on his face.

"Hey don't get too big headed, she doesn't want to like you," Charlie said. He then got all down again. "Good luck," Charlie said laughing.

The next day was the day that Mikayla was meeting with Matthew for their science project. As apose to Nicole who cares what her peers think Mikayla didn't. She rang the doorbell at Matthews house wearing black sweat pants and a longsleeved white v-neck. When he opened the door she stormed past him and said, "lets just get this over with."

"I see your excited to see me," he said sarcastically as he closed the door. She sat on the couch and pulled about 12 beakers and a lot of testubes out of her bag. "We are testing the density of different liguids and gasses," she said.

"Umm, I'm not very good at the science stuff, I spend a lot of time in summer school," Matthew said kind of embarrassed.

"Lucky for you I've never gotten lower than an A in any science class," she said rolling her eyes. She did a bunch of sciency stuff while Matthew juist sat and scratched his head. "Ok i'm going to explain it so you know how to during the oral," she said not even looking up from her work.

"Oral?" he asked smiling.

"You are disgusting, oral presentation moron," she said and with that she began to explain the project i won't waste my time writing all that brainy stuff. And odly or at least for Matthew he understood. "Do you get it," she finished.

"Yeah, your pretty smart," he said looking at her with admiration, but he shook it off his face before she looked up. When she finally looked up he said, "Your not like other girls are you."

"Nope," she said with the biggest smile he had ever seen on her face. "I am odd, but only if odd means the most amazing person ever," she said in a cute voice that she doesn't often use and then she squinted and stuck out her tongue. Not even she knew why she did that, there was something about being different that made her happy.

"Okay you are so either Mikayla or Charlie," Genevieve said. I looked at her slightly confused andd wondering why."You don't have a boyfriend and you don't care about your appearance."

"What makes you say that?" I asked defencivly. Genevieve just put here hand out openly pointing to what i was wearing, shorts and a large t-shirt. "Psssshhhh, just cuz i dress like this in front of you doesn't mean i'd do it in front of people."

"Ok, i think she's Charlie because Quinn isn't pretty enough to have a guy like Matthew like her," Danika said laughing.

"Thanks," I said with my arms crossed.
