Chuckie's P.O.V
I had woodworking next I wasn't all that good at it, but at least I had a friend in that class. I couldn't wait to tell someone about how Nicole had talked to me today and even invited me to eat lunch with her. When I got to shop Lil was already sitting down. I sat next to her and started talking a mile a minute.
"Lil guess who talked to me today I even got to sit with her at lunch can you believe it?"
"uh huh " said Lil not meeting my eyes.
" she went on vacation to California this summer no wonder she looks so good."
"yup" said lil
It was then that I realized something about Lil was a little off.
"hey, Lil you doing ok?"
"yeah " said lil her eyes were shining she looked near tears.
"ok class this semester we are making miniature wooden bridges which ever pair makes the sturdiest bridge wins a prize"
Mr. Eagle and his prizes it was probably smiley face pencils again.
I raised my hand
"Mr. Eagle why don't me and lil go get some goggles from the science facility "
"great idea Mr. Finster goggles are a must when working with wood wouldn't want saw dust getting in your eyes."
Mr. Eagle droned on about safety precautions while me and Lil went to get the goggles.
We walked about halfway there in silence Lil didn't make any eye contact with me the whole time.
"uh Lil are you sure you're ok"
"not really" said Lil quietly
"well I mean I'm here if you wanna talk I mean like you don't have to but,"
Lil cut in " it's just that I like this guy and I really don't think he likes me back and he likes another girl and she's all pretty and perfect and…"
"Lil that's dumb I'm sure he'll come around I mean you're a really nice girl and you aren't not pretty I mean no what I'm trying to say is.."
Lil still looked upset.
"I'm sorry Chuckie I shouldn't be ranting to you like this it was dumb, but thank you"
I stood there trying to find the right words to say in this situation, but sometimes it seemed like girls just got more and more confusing.
She kissed me on the cheek I froze not knowing what to do
"uh..i uh um" I stuttered.
She ran to the girl's bathroom before I could say anything more.
