-Kendall, what's wrong," I asked with a frown.
-_, is he your "babysitter"?" he asked seriously making inverted commas, when he gets like that it scares me, he can be very jealous, I just nodded my head, you never told me he was a boy, besides he looks our age, I spoke a bit loudly.
-He's actually 20," I said smiling sweetly.
-_, the 5 girls around him means that any girl is handsome and you're one of them," he kept looking at me coldly.
-Kendall, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not just anyone," I asked, "besides those girls don't have anyone, I have you and I love you.
-And does he know you have a boyfriend?" I asked turning to James who wasn't taking his eyes off me, "Look, look how he's looking at you," I said loudly.
-Kendall calm down," I said stroking his cheek, he was getting angrier than usual, he was looking at me like when he looks at the guys he's going to fight with, I started to get scared.
-How do you want me to be calm when that one," he said referring to James, "is going to chase you everywhere, he looks like your father.
-Kendall," I spoke to him and turned his head to look at me since he was looking at James and James was looking at Kendall, it seemed like they were killing each other with their eyes, "Kendall," I spoke seriously again, "are you jealous," I said with a chuckle to lighten the mood.
-Isn't it obvious? The damn jealousy is killing me, _.
-And what are you going to do," I asked looking into those green eyes that were darkened with fury.
-What am I going to do?" he asked while he let out a loud laugh, "this," he said while with one hand he grabbed my waist and with the other one he grabbed my cheek to give me a tender kiss, we separated due to the lack of oxygen and we put our foreheads together, "make it clear to him that you are my girlfriend," he said smiling tenderly, I imitated him, I looked sideways as James was approaching us leaving behind the girls who were murmuring and smiling. When he was next to me he cleared his throat.
-Yes?" I asked turning my head to look at him.
-You're running late for your first class," he said in a neutral tone, before I could say anything Kendall spoke.
-How can you let this peer talk to you about 'you' and apart like that," she asked, leaning dangerously close to James.
-I told him to talk to me as "you" you know I hate being called "Miss" and Kendall this is James, James this is Kendall, my boyfriend," I said introducing them to lighten the mood, but to no avail.
-That's right James, this is MY girlfriend," Kendall answered as he grabbed me by the waist, emphasizing the word "MY".
-I noticed a few minutes ago because of the little scene they were making," James said, neutral as usual.
-It's a good thing you did, so don't even think about going near her or it will be very bad for you," said Kendall seriously approaching him, but James wasn't the least bit afraid, he had forgotten to tell her that he was military.
-Don't worry, I wasn't going to do it," he said as he looked at me quickly, wait... Was I so bad that I didn't want to draw his attention even a little bit, but if I'm _ Flowers, any guy would want to go out with me, but I was partly glad that he didn't want to try something with me.
-This was getting worse and worse, but James just ignored what he said and turned back to me.
-It's getting late," he said seriously as he looked at me.
-I'll be there in a few more minutes," I answered.
-I swear that if you don't go to your classroom right now, I'll drag you away," he said threateningly.
-Don't talk to my girlfriend like that," Kendall defended me. James was about to say something but I interrupted him.
-Kendall, leave him alone, he's my "babysitter" anyway," I said with a giggle, "so I have to listen to him," I rolled my eyes.
-Are you sure?" she asked.
-Yes, love.
-I'll give you five seconds to start walking to your class," James spoke again.
-Ahg! I told you I'm coming," I said, but he just ignored me and started counting.
-5..." He started backwards and forwards.
-Don't count me," I warned him.
-4...
Kendall just looked at me and I looked at James who was folding his arms as he counted.
-3...
I pulled Kendall close to give her a long, deep kiss.
-2...
I was still kissing Kendall.
-1...
I pulled away from him.
-See you on the way out, love," I said to Kendall turning around to go to my class.
-I thought I was going to carry you to class," James said to me.
-You're not that lucky," I said as I smiled.
-I don't need it," he said seriously.
-I don't need it," he said seriously.
-That must be it.
We got to my classroom.
-Well, you can see that I made it to class, now you can go," I said and smiled.
-I must be sure that you got to class," he looked at me seriously.
-I asked, something that confused him.
-Excuse me?" he asked.
-Yes, can't you change your face, smile, laugh, or something like that, since I saw you at home you haven't changed your face," I said looking him in the eyes.
-You're late," he answered, ignoring my question.
-You're late," I snapped at him trying to make him laugh but my attempt was in vain.
-Inside," he ordered me, "I'll come get you on the way out," I just stuck my tongue out at him and walked into class.
-Miss Flores until you are punctual in one of my classes, take a seat please," said the teacher, I just rolled my eyes and went to sit down, in the class there were only two people, so we waited for the others to arrive to start the classes.
Each one of the classes had passed quickly until the last one arrived which was mathematics, that subject is too boring, well actually the boring one is the teacher who is like 70 years old and he still hasn't retired, I still don't know what he expects, I'm afraid that one of these days he'll be teaching and I'll give him a heart attack. I laughed at my cruel thought.
-Good morning, young people," said the professor as he slowly approached his desk.
-Good morning," we all said at the same time.
The class as usual passed slowly, I felt my mobile phone vibrate in the back pocket of my trousers, I took it out and put it underneath so no one would see it, I looked at it and on the screen it said new message from Kendall, so I opened it.
"Kendall:
Bonita, I left early and went to Logan's house to finish my science work, sorry for not letting you know sooner, I love you."
I put my mobile phone away a little angry.
-Well young people, that's all, have a nice weekend," said the teacher grabbing his briefcase to leave.
I grabbed my backpack and put it on my shoulder, I started to walk to the exit, when I heard someone talking to me.
-_-that voice, that shrill voice, I turned on my heels to meet Sofia's detestable gaze.
-What do you want, Sofia?" I asked, faking a smile that was more like a grimace.
-How did you get it," she asked.
-What are you talking about," I asked again.
-Him," he said pointing at James who was looking in my direction, "How did you get him," he asked again.
-I didn't get anyone, Sofia, but if you want to know how to get more guys like him," I said referring to James, "don't be so plastic and you'll get them," I said turning around.
-I hate you," he shouted, I just raised my hand to show him my middle finger.
As I was getting closer to the exit I could see James was leaning on his car with his arms crossed and dark glasses.
I wasn't going to get in the car with him, not if he was alone, so I decided to turn right and walk to my house which wasn't that far away.
-Where do you think you're going," asked a voice behind me.
-To my house," I said without stopping walking.
-Get in the car," he ordered me.
-I won't, I'll walk.
-Get in," he said again, but more seriously.
-No," I said smiling, but as my back was turned, he couldn't see me.
-Don't make me do things the hard way," said James, "I've come for you and I'm not moving from here until you get in the car.
-I suddenly felt someone grab my arm, I turned to see who it was, James was standing there with a totally stiff face.
-I said come upstairs," he said again.
-And I said no - now I was the one who was serious.
When I least expected James picked me up and put me on his shoulder, I was just kicking and hitting his back which was in an upright position, I don't know how but he put me in the car.
Nobody said anything until we got home.
-Your parents aren't here," he said.
-I know, they're never there," I said, a bit serious and a bit sad.
-Silvia already made lunch, so I'll wait for you in the kitchen to eat," he said and went to the living room.
I went up to my room to leave my backpack and go down to eat, during lunch nobody said anything, in fact we didn't speak to each other again all day.
