I own nothing. Simple one-shot unless you peeps want me to write more, in which case I will. Credit to DancingRaindrops whose story, Vocabulary Lessons (awesome story btw) DancingRaindrops: If this is too close to your story for comfort, PM me and I will delete it, no questions asked.
Sorry for long-ness, but I'm going to write this now instead of spoiling my perfect (in my opinion) ending. Yup, I'm weird that way. So please review AFTER you read!
Infatuate
Sonny's POV
How in the world am I supposed to learn these words? As much as I read them, they just go in and straight out, never sticking to my brain. I have a test tomorrow! They have to start sticking now!
Presumptuous-adj- inconsiderate, disrespectful, or overconfident, especially in doing something when not entitled or qualified to do it
How can I remember this? Look at this one:
Exorbitant- adj- far greater or higher than is reasonable; going beyond what is usual, proper, or manageable
How about this one?
Anathema-n- somebody or something that is greatly disliked or detested and is therefore shunned
I still have two more:
Impugn-v- to suggest that something cannot be trusted, relied on, or respected
Besotted-adj-made confused through affection for or attraction to somebody
I can't even say most of these words!
"What 'cha learning?" Oh great.
I turned around to see Chad reading my vocabulary paper over my shoulder.
"Nothing much," I said stuffing the paper into my schoolbag.
"Having problems?" He asked all too knowingly.
I blushed and looked down at the table. "Yes."
"Well let me see if CDC can help, I mean, I am amazing at vocabulary, and science, and English, and social studies, and, well you get the idea," Chad said in an extra-confident voice. He strutted over and grabbed my schoolbag. I jumped to try to get it back, but he kept it just out of my reach, calmly I might add. He pulled out the paper and read it before stuffing it back in my schoolbag.
"Bo-ring!" He said plopping down in the chair across from me, "Let's talk about me. I'm talented, smart, amazing in every single way. I am the perfect person!"
Talk about you self absorbed!
"More importantly, let's talk about how bad your show is and how much I hate every one of your cast mates and how my show refuses to even eat at the same table as you guys."
"Excuse me?"
"Calm down Sonny, I'm just saying that I can't trust any of you… or respect you for that matter, I mean, did you see the outfits you guys were? Hi-larious!"
I stood up ready to yell at him. Chad stood up to. Before I got the chance to yell at him, he walked by and kissed me on the forehead.
"'Bye Sonshine. Hope you ace your vocab test tomorrow." That's what I heard before he walked out the door and I escaped my paralysis. I was mega confused. One word came to mind: Bi-polar.
Then something clicked.
"…Chad said in an extra-confident voice. He strutted over and grabbed my schoolbag." –Chad was being presumptuous.
"…'Let's talk about me. I'm talented, smart, amazing in every single way. I am the perfect person!'" –Chad had an exorbitant view of himself.
"'More importantly, let's talk about how bad your show is and how much I hate every one of your cast mates and how my show refuses to even eat at the same table as you guys.'" –Chad was basically calling my cast and I anathemas.
"…'I'm just saying that I can't trust any of you… or respect you for that matter, I mean, did you see the outfits you guys were? Hi-larious!'" –Chad was Impugning me and my cast.
And that kiss on my forehead? Boy did that have me besotted! I know I'll get a perfect score on that test. There was one more word I didn't mention that I was having a bit of trouble on. I know the definition word for word.
Infatuate-v- to make somebody behave irrationally as a result of a great, often temporary, passion
