Smile for me
Chapter 3
Author's Note: Since I'm a tard and didn't think about it or realize it
till now but this whole fic is going to be from Averman's point of view.
That and I'm tired of putting it. Okay with that said enjoy the fic!
We were the first ones at our table. The bash bros and Julie came in after us. Then Ken, Luis and Connie followed after them. Charlie and Adam were no where to be found, which is weird since they're normally the first to get here.
Everyone said their good mornings then broke off to get food. Aya and me sat and waited for the lines to cut down. While we waited Charlie ran in, waved at us, spotted Linda and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before heading for one of the lines.
"That looked like it was routine."
"You could say that. Banks and he are late at least once a week for different reasons." "Speaking of Adam, does he have a girlfriend?" "I don't think so, why?" She looked at me and smiled, "No reason." I think I pissed some one off up in the sky because Adam just walked in towards the breakfast line. She watched him then got up. "I'm going to get another drink." "Why not just drink mine like you've done before?" She thought a second, "Because you had bad morning breath." And she was off.
Great, I've lost the only girl slightly interested in me to none other the star of our team, Adam banks. Go figure she'd want him over me.
The Bash brothers were the first back. I didn't notice them till Portman gave me a wet willy.
"You okay dude? You looked all spaced out."
"Yeah it was freaky."
"It's nothing."
Everyone was soon back but Adam and Aya. Finally they came out. Adam was laughing at what she had said and she was smiling. From here it looked like my smile. The one I thought was only for me. As they got close I got up. I couldn't sit here and watch her droll over him.
I felt some one grab my arm.
"Ave, where you going?"
I took my arm back. "I forgot something in my dorm I need."
"I'll go with you."
"No, you stay. Sit and laugh it up with everyone and Adam."
"Aww, I'm not gonna let you go by your self."
Then I snapped. "Aya, I don't want your company. You made it clear you don't want mine." And I walked away. I couldn't bring myself to look back. Was she crying, mad, or what?
Once outside I wanted to find the closest solid object and use it on me. I can't believe I said that to her. Me, jealous? Very much so.
Part of me found it unfair Adam got what I have longed to have and part of me just didn't want to let go. She made waking up in the morning worth it.
I didn't hear the person come up behind me but I felt them. They ran straight into me and sent us rolling with the person ending up on me.
Remembering this I knew it was Aya. With out looking at her I spoke, "We've got to stop meeting like this."
"What the hell's your problem?"
"I don't have one."
"Then why the cold shoulder in there?"
"Well you did sweat on-,"
"Averman talk to me. What's going on?"
By now the rest of the ducks were watching but neither Aya nor myself cared.
"It's nothing. Just me being stupid."
"That's a given."
"Forget about it."
"I can't. Averman you've been weird since I asked about Adam."
"Sorry I don't pick and choose when I get weird."
"Stop with the jokes and be serious with me."
Once again the straw broke the camel's back, "Fine if you must know Aya it is you and that fact you asked me about Adam. The one girl I think could be remotely interested in me isn't. So sorry if I didn't want to watch you and Adam flirt while I try to eat."
She looked at me with a face I never ever wanted to see her face have.
She tilted her head from my view and started hitting me in the chest. Am I ever going to learn to not make short people mad? They can be so abusive.
I grabbed her wrist and got a good look at her eyes. Those forest eyes I wanted to always be lost in now looked like a forest fire had broken out.
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe I do like you and that I was asking and talking to Adam cause I have a friend who likes him? That I was trying to see if he was interested."
I opened my mouth to answer but like my dream nothing came out.
"Averman, how could you be so...so not you?" She got off me and jogged off. I lay in the grass and watched her go.
"Word of advice: Don't let her walk away. Crazy enough as much as you think she doesn't want you to chase her down she does."
"How the hell do you know, Guy?"
"Please I dated Connie. Trust me on this. Go after her."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Fight me later, Connie, okay. Averman's the one with the problem."
"I dunno if I should."
"Averman if you like her you'll go after her."
Well, my head didn't know if it was the right thing to do but the rest of me did. I found my self chasing her.
"Aya, please wait up. I know I was a jealous moron who over reacted cause he wasn't thinking but please let me have just two minutes. Just two minutes then you can go back to hating me." I think she just slowed down.
