"Sorry," He said it so sarcastically that I didn't know whether to slap him or make pity eyes at him, each resulting in a rumble, "Happy now?" An evil grin came across his face.
I stared at him for just a millisecond before deeming him unimportant and turning to Matt. "So, Matt, are you in the special class, too? I'd hate to have to be alone." For some reason, an American band called the Cheetah Girls came on, the headphones resting at my neck still able to be listened to. My lower lip pouted the tiniest, I made my eyes dilate (at least, I tried) and grow wide; giving me the look of an infant or a puppy/kitten.
"Kind of." He shrugged, glancing sideways at Jell-O who had just gotten my ',too'. He is such a slow boy, but what boy isn't?
I stayed silent long enough for him to explain but he didn't, just made me feel like a fool. "I see. . ." I said, stroking my imaginary Homes goatee. I looked from side to side and sucked in my cheeks to give a truly idiotic look but it somehow felt right on my face. And no, I did not just call myself idiotic.
Jell-O exploded, taking the collar of my shirt, screaming at me. A gasp escaped my lips and I leaned forward to protect my only highlight of the day: my Tapioca pudding cup.
"C-calm down, Jell-O!" I stuttered, increasingly worried that his shirt would spoil my dessert. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't go so far to protect my stoic nature by not being worried for my life. But, honestly, I think – no, I know – that I could take this scrawny little blonde any day.
"No, I will not calm down! Are you or are you not in the special class?"
I didn't hesitate. "I am." The second I said that, he seemed to deflate and sunk back into his chair.
"Oh." He said pathetically. In that moment, I did pity him.
*** In the deepest part of London, a shadow stirred.
*** Out of nowhere, I got the chills. They ran down my back and up my arms, leaving me in goose bumps and a terribly ominous feeling that someone had been watching me or called my name.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked, not really caring if I answered. His gaming system buzzed and dinged.
Jolting, I sat up and straightened my pretend bowtie. "Nothing. . . I just got the craziest sense that someone called my name." Timidly, I peeked all around me, taking in the scene. Not sure if I had officially gone off the deep end of the deep end I cleared my throat and lay back down.
"That's strange."
"Thank you, Matt."
"Why are you hanging out with us again?" Jell-O asked, anger rising in his voice. The feeling started to fade.
Swiveling, I faced him and stared at him for exactly thirteen seconds before answering, "That is an easy question to reply to. It's quite simple indeed. The only reason I'm here is because I like Matt."
Jell-O seemed to blush, but a smirk was on his face. "Well, aren't you a little slut? First you flirt with Near then Matt? I don't know what L sees in you."
In that instant, I wanted to pound in the stupid boys face but, no, I did not. I controlled my anger and instead did something much better. "I like Matt as a friend, you dill hole, and Near is really just a cute kid that you always pick on because he's smarter than you. You know, Jell-O, you don't always have to be such a mean guy."
That shut him up for at least a fraction of a second before a wild blush lit up his entire face, causing him to fall back and hit the sand with his black clad bum.
I smiled, "And that, my acquaintance, is called karma. Matt, I'm going to go and get some rest for my broken heart. That and I'm hungry." So with the grace of a three year old, I got up and trotted only five feet before losing my balance and face planting in the sand. "Just great." I spat around the sand in my mouth, blush leaking onto my face at the hideous sound of Jell-O guffawing hysterically.
