"You!"
I turned around to see Paul storming towards me. People all in the library turned to look at us. "If you don't like me all you had to do was say so!" He continued yelling at me. This was embarrassing. We really had people's attention now. I wished Paul would lower his voice but it wasn't very likely that he was. I quickly grabbed up my books and took Paul's shirt to take him outside. With much great effort and finally some cooperation on Paul's part, I got him outside.
"No, let's go back in and make a fool of you like you're trying to do with me." Paul said, still angry. I sighed. I would have to tlk to him. I would have to open my mouth to this jerk.
"You were the one trying to make a fool out of me first." I hissed. "Sending your friends over like some sort of ploy. Telling me all kinds of garbage."
"What did they tell you?" Paul asked with a frown of concern covering his brow.
"Some stupid crap. Saying you were in love with me." I told him. "So whose the one that tried to make a fool out of someone?" Paul sighed.
"Xandra I wasn't trying to make a fool out of you. I didn't even know they were going over to your house. If I did I would have stopped them." Paul sighed again and ran a hand through his hair. "Look Xandra I don't know why you don't like me and I know you probably don't want to date me, but could we at least try to be friends? Please?" He looked at me pleadingly. I didn't want to be friends with Paul. I didn't even want to be near Paul. But maybe this was the only way to get him to leave me alone for sure.
"Whatever. But if this stupid friendship is going to work you're going to follow my rules, and everything I say." He nodded eagerly and childlike. "Just because I agreed to this nonsense doesn't mean that we're gonna be as close as white on rice. You will give me my space." I demanded. "Cause the minute you step into that space this little charade is over. Got it." I snapped at him. Long time ago I was the one being told off. Not anymore. Now it was his turn. Paul nodded his head eagerly again. The smile still not gone from his face.
"Great! Got everything, all of it." Paul assured me. "So what do you want to do first friend?"
"Don't call me that. And I'm going to go back into the library to finish studying. You can either go home, or you can come inside and sit there quietly not disturbing me while I work." I said to Paul. I turned around a walked back inside the library with Paul close behind me.
I found a table near a book shelf and pulled out my own book to re-begin my studying. Paul tried to occupy himself with the books and picked up the first one he could find. I looked up and saw him sit down with the book to begin reading. He wasn't paying attention. I glanced at the book Paul had picked up. The title read, 'Handling Cramps on your Period.' I almost burst out laughing, but I hid it with my hand. Paul must not have looked at the book before he picked it up. He probably just grabbed anything. Paul looked at me.
"What?" He asked me, with a concerned smile on his face. I just shook my head at Paul. He would find out soon enough. From the corner of my eye I watched him just open the book. The minute he did his eyes got wide and he slammed the book shut breathing heavily. I couldn't hold it any longer. I began laughing softly. Paul looked over at me and smiled.
"Hey, hey it's not good to laugh at someone else's expense. I just continued laughing and soon Paul joined and we were laughing together. We finally died down after a minute or two and then it hit me. I had just laughed with Paul the guy I didn't like. My smile quickly wiped off my face and I went back to studying, trying to pretend nothing happened.
I saw Paul get up and put the book back before he sat back down with another book in hand. Hopefully it wasn't another book about female situations. We sat there in silence for a while before I looked up at Paul. Now he was reading a book entitled 'How to be best friends with a person of the opposite sex.' Paul looked up from his reading and looked at me with a large smile. I rolled my eyes and got back to studying. Paul had better not be getting any ideas. What did I get myself into? I was hoping this wouldn't become a long day.
