John started to wonder the shit that was happening. Here he was, John Bender, waiting for the most popular and preepiest chick in school after spend an entire Saturday with her and three other dorks. And he kind of liked it! Was he getting pathetic or something?
The most bizarre thing was in the morning when they all saw each other. He was actually wanting to talk to them. Even hhen he kissed Allison in front of all his friends, John have to admit that maybe he has some balls. He started to wonder if himself could do that.
His thought was interrupted for a click on the door and faced Claire stand in front of him.
-You couldn't resist me – he said with a mocking smile
-John, I'm really confused right now okay? I wanna be with you but I don't because you're an asshole and I wanna talk to the guys but I'm embarrassed to and I don't know I just- at that point she grabbed her hair and made a noise of frustration
He got closer to her and kissed her neck, just like she did in that very same closet.
Claire looked at him with a mix of confusion and surprise.
-Just returning the favor –he said
She smiled at him and then got serious again:
-Do you want to be with me?
Straight in the point. Maybe she does that all the time.
-Yeah…-looking on her eyes
-Do want people to know?
He avoided eye contact.
-No…
She smiled.
-Me neither
John looked at her and both laughed. He liked that in her, the other girls he went out would be mad and said that it was an absurd. But she understood him, she felt the same thing.
John kissed her.
-God, I wish I could kiss you all the time- he said
She suddenly looked at him and, surprised, said:
-You're wearing my earring.
John touched his ear, he almost forgot the earring was there. He hadn't taken that off since he put.
-Of course I'm wearing- he looked at her confused with her surprised. It was a gift right?
Claire smiled.
-You're in detention next Saturday right?
-Well yeah, why?
-I had an idea.
