Kiss me, Creep chapter 3
(From the last chapter)
----The showdown between us ended when I looked away first. My only thought was that Ash
must have either an enemy whom he sees very often or if he had just won by luck. This was a
minor,but neverthe-less significant, victory on his part.------
(Now the new chapter)
"What do you want?" I asked. I had forgotten it was the basketball team's turn to use the gym.
He pointed at the big mesh-covered clock over the scoreboard. "Time's up, girls. The lockeroom natives are getting restless." Ash replied.
"Mind if we finish up with this last routine?" I asked stiffly.
I was determined to hold my ground. My fellow cheerleaders didn't help matters, however. They broke out in a fresh chorus of groans. I turned around and shot them my best I'll-get-you-for this glare. The groans turned into giggles. I guess I'm not the menacing type.
"Be my guess." said Ash, with a grand sweep of his arm, "but better make it quick. I take no responsibility for any injuries that might occur in the event of a stampede.
"Thanks so much," I replied in my most sickeningly sweet voice.
Ash was acting as if he owned the whole gym and was doing us a big favor by letting us use it. A wave of heat was spreading up my neck and onto my cheeks. Why did Ash always have this effect on me? Why couldn't I just ignore him, the way I ignored Paul, this nerdy guy in my English class who threw spitballs at the ceiling whenever the teachers back was turned?
I felt Ash's eyes on me even after I turned my back. I've always hated books that say, "She felt his eyes boring into her." It sounds so dumb. I always imagined the guy coming up behind the girl with a pair of drills sprouting from his forehead like horns. But as corny as that sounds, that was how I felt just then. I actually felt him staring at me.
The rest I'd just soon forget. It happened during one of my high kicks. I must have kicked a little too high because all of a sudden the floor was sliding out from under me. I landed with a thud in the most ungraceful position possible----right smack on my behind.
"Ooooh," I groaned, more from embarrassment than pain.
A large hand appeared in front of me. I took it without thinking.
"You ok?" Ash asked. His clasp was warm and very firm as he hauled me to my feet. My own skin felt hot and clammy next to his.
"Thanks" I muttered. "I'm all right."
He was still holding my han, and for a second I could've almost sworn he was genuinely concened about me. Then the mocking grin was back.
"If that's a preview, I can't wait to see the show," he said.
I yanked my hand away. He'd done it again.
Once more he'd succeeded in making me feel like a complete idiot. How could one boy be so unfuriating?
"Haven't you got anything better to do than hang aroung watching us practice?"
An innocent expression on his face, Ash turned to my friends. "See what I get for trying to help a damsel in distress? I'm telling you, it doesn't pay to be polite these days."
"Better watch who you pick up the next time," said Sabrina.
I put on my brightest, phoniest smile and took a deep breath. "I just hope I can return the favor someday," I said through gritted teeth.
"Now that," Ash said, "might even be worth the tumble."
See what I mean about Ash? He used so much energy being obnoxious to me that if he ever decided to quit doing it he'd probably have had to take up alligator wrestling as an alternative hobby.
"Catch you later, M.W," he added, tossing it over his shoulder as he sauntered off in that casual I'm-in-no-hurry-to-get-there-way of his.
I noticed with irritation that all three of my friends were following his exit with fascinated expressions. From what I had observed, Ash seemed to affect all girls that way.
All girls except me, of course.
