Chapter 6: Genius, not love expert

Astrid's POV

"Let's go back," Sam said as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I loved the feeling of his body against mine, side by side.

"Okay," I said absent mindedly. My head was somewhere else, after all this time in the FAYZ, I'm still thinking about different things. How long would it take until people started leaving? How long until the food's out at the party? Ugh. Why am I even thinking about this?! School doesn't even start for another week!

"What are you thinking?" Sam asked as if reading my mind.

"The usual…math," I told him.

"Say it," he said with a smile.

I giggled and then straightened my composure while we walked slowly. "Apt analogy," I said as if I was giving him a lecture.

"I missed that." He said as he kissed the top of my head.

Brianna came as if out of nowhere, which really meant she was running so fast that we couldn't see, of course the human eye can't see faster than 2 miles per hour, but you know. "There you guys are!"

"What is it, Brianna?" Sam asked.

"Diana and Caine were dancing together-"

"They were what?!" I asked in shock. Diana never danced and she said she'd never go back to Caine. What was going on?

"Let her continue, babe." I still wasn't sure if I like "babe" or not, it's been a long time though.

Brianna slightly smiled. "That's cute. Anyways, so then Diana suddenly took off running to her car and Caine after her. She took Computer Jack," she said his name with a hint of adoration. "and then they took off with Diana in the front seat leaving Caine to look like an idiot yelling her name."

Sam dropped his arm from my waist. "I'll go talk to Caine."

We let him leave. "You look nice, Brianna." I complimented.

She gave a small blush. "Thanks, I was hoping a certain someone would notice…"

"You mean Computer Jack?" I asked smirking.

She flushed. "I…how would you know? I mean, you're Astrid the Genius on school work, not on love and stuff."

I frowned a little. There it was again, "Astrid the Genius".

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's just…"

"No, it's fine, Brianna. Let's go back to the party." I said and started walking. Am I really that smart? So smart that I can't be counted on for love? I mean I am with Sam and we love each other. I held in a sigh. The calculations of…ugh crap I'm doing it again. I looked up and saw Sam and Caine talking, but I couldn't hear them over the music. I wonder what was going on.
