Chapter 12: My Sharona
I sat in my hospital bed, doing my math homework when I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I say, not looking up.
"Hey," Craig says, leaning into me and kissing both of my cheeks.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just came to give you this," he says, handing me a package.
"Thanks." I open the wrapping paper and see a huge box of chocolates and the movie A Life Less Ordinary. "Craig! Thanks so much. I've never seen this one."
"I hoped you would like it."
"Now let me ask you... why are you here?"
"I miss you at school."
"I don't miss you here. I just miss my boyfriend and my friends."
"You miss me. I see the way you stared at me during English and Homeroom. You dig me, I can tell." He says, leaning into me.
"Craig, you're scaring me."
"You scared me, when you passed out. Where was your J.T. when you passed out? Oh, that's right, he was in class, he didn't even know did he. You came to me, I caught you when you fell, you like me! You love me, just except it!" He pinned my shoulders down and kissed me on the lips while I hit him on the chest and tried to get him off of me, my screams being muffled. He finally lets go of me, a grin on his face.
"Get. Out."
"You're good, playing hard-to-get? It's cute, gives me a chase."
"I said get out!" I scream.
"Is everything alright?" a nurse comes in.
"No. Please get him out of here." The nurse looks at Craig and tilts her head out of the room. He looks at me and raises an eyebrow, and walks out.
