Chapter 6 MIRANDA'S POV:
My heart was in thumping so hard that I thought it would break through my chest. Seeing Twitty staring at Larry and me right after Larry had kissed me was...a nightmare. It was not what I had wanted. I never even wanted Larry to kiss me!
Then the thought came to me...I could've prevented Larry from kissing me. I felt so bad about it. Why did I let him kiss me? Why? I had no idea.
Immediately after the kiss, I ran over to Twitty. "Twitty!" I called and ran towards him. He had been standing there staring at us, and I was wondering for how long. "Twitty," I repeated as I reached towards him. I grabbed his hand, but suddenly realizing what I was doing, quickly released it.
"Hey," he said and looked at me. He looked fine, but like he was faking it.
"Hey," I echoed and then swallowed hard. "I'm...I...uh...," I stuttered. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what the right thing was to say either. For all I knew, he may not like me the way I like him, and I might say something that would make a complete fool of myself. He could be totally ok with what he saw. But then...what if he does like me, and what he saw broke his heart? Miranda! Him liking you was a stupid girlish fantasy of yours, and he probably has a girlfriend of his own!
"Are you playing me, Miranda? Is there someone else in your life?" Larry asked. I turned around to see Larry. I guess he had followed me to Twitty. Wow, leave it to Larry to say the right thing. Then it all went from there...
"Larry! We are NOT a couple! I am NOT your girlfriend! I am for sure NOT playing you! And there is no one 'else' in my life 'cuz I don't even have someone to start with!" I yelled at Larry. I was really, really angry with him.
"I'm sorry. Are you talking to me?" asked Larry looking around.
"Of course I'm talking to you, who else would I be talking to if I said 'Larry'?" I asked in a softer tone than I was using before. I began to back off a little. I felt that maybe I had been a little too harsh with Larry; but he had to know that we were NOT a couple.
"Is that the way it is? Why didn't you let me know in the first place then? Why did you lead me on and kiss me? Why did you go out with me in the first place?" asked Larry. He looked really upset.
"Larry, I tried to tell you. I thought it would be cool to 'hang out' but I didn't want to go on a date or anything," I said.
"What about the kiss?" he asked.
"Larry...I didn't want the kiss. YOU kissed ME," I said and looked at him directly in the eyes.
Larry looked towards the ground then back up at me and said, "You mean..."
"We're only friends," I said. I didn't really consider Larry my friend either, but I didn't want to be too mean, "Larry, you're a nice guy, but we aren't meant for each other...there's someone special out there for you. Who's made just for you, and I'm sure you'll find her."
His face immediately lightened up and I felt much better. Even though Larry took this whole outing the wrong way, and a good deal of that was his fault, I didn't want to make Larry feel bad. The absolute last thing I wanted though, was for him to mistake me as his girlfriend.
"Really?" he asked.
I nodded. I did think that there was someone out there for Larry...but that someone wasn't me.
Then there was a long silence. I scanned Larry's face and figured that he was in thought. His eyebrows were wrinkled but then he relaxed and asked, "Do you think that...Kate and I have a chance?"
Ha! I laughed inside at this question. Seriously, I thought that Larry had no chance with Kate but I didn't want to bash his thoughts. "Sure...but, Larry? I personally think that you are too good for her," I said. Anyone was too good for Kate. That snob.
"Thanks," he said and smiled.
Then I looked over at Twitty who had backed off a little towards another exhibit. I wanted to talk to him, but I wasn't quite sure if right now was the right time. Besides, what would I say? Larry seemed to read my mind as I looked at Twitty.
"Um...that friend of yours over there. Do you want to talk to him? If I'm not really wanted, I could go look around somewhere else while you talked," he said.
"Thanks, Larry," I said.
"Hey, just tell me when you're ready to go," he said and walked off slowly.
I walked over by Twitty and searched for something to say. "Come here often?" I asked. Maybe not the most appropriate thing to ask, but at least it was better than silence.
"Yeah," he said.
"Cool," was all I could get out. Great. Now I didn't know what to say. This awkward silence continued on for a while.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend," he said.
"I don't," I said quickly, "Larry...well he's someone I know from school. I-well- we-we came here just to hang out. B-but Larry, I guess he didn't understand that."
Then there was some more long silence.
"So, why are you here?" I asked. I was kinda getting desperate for questions here.
"Well, it's nice walking around and seeing what they have here, you know? I come here once in a while. It's cool sometimes. A nice place to get away," he said.
I couldn't quite understand though, because the museum, more often than not, was usually crowded with loud people. "I thought you said that you didn't know this area very well," I said. I thought about when he had asked for directions.
"Yeah, well, I know how to get to the museum," he said.
"You're here by yourself?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said, "Oh, I did try calling you but you weren't home."
He must've called sometime after school, and of course I was with Larry. I didn't know what to say next. I was really getting annoyed by even more silence.
"Do you want a milkshake?" he asked. "I'm getting hungry."
"Well...I'm not one for a milkshake right now, but I'll take a coke," I said.
********************
We didn't talk much while we were drinking the coke and milkshake. Soon, Larry found me, "Miranda, I don't want to be a nuisance, but it's getting late," he said.
"Ok," I said.
Twitty rose from his seat. "Miranda?" he asked, "Maybe we could hang out sometime?"
"Sure!" I said, "But, no offense, but could we go somewhere other than the museum?"
He laughed. "Sure. I would still love to hear that violin playing of yours."
