Chapter Six
Hoagie's POV
Yep. Just me and Fanny on a ridiculous mission. I'm surprised she hasn't slit my throat yet. She walked ahead of me, in a huff as always. I noticed how her hair bobbed up and down as she walked. It made her look innocent and sweet. Until she turns around and starts growling at you.
"Well?" She said in a loud whisper. "Are you coming or what?"
"Uhh, yeah sure." I reply.
I quickly ran beside her.
Out of the corner of my eye, I studied her carefully. I don't know why, but I started to count the freckles on her face. If her eyes weren't so narrowed in anger, she could probably be cute.
She started walking ahead of me again. My eyes wandered from the back of her head to her butt. Too bad she was wearing pants underneath them. As I continued to stare I felt a big sheepish grin form on my face
Fanny turned again. "What are you doing?"
I just grinned even more. "Nothing." I said innocently, while in truth deep in my mind I was having dirty thoughts. She looked at me with a confused look, then turned and continued to walk. Why was I having these thoughts of Fanny?
I shook my head and continued walking, but this time I stayed by her side, just to make sure my eyes and mind don't go wandering off again. Oh the joy of teenage hormones.
"Something feels odd." She says.
"Don't worry." I said. I stretched my arms, put them around her shoulders. "I'll protect ya."
She gave me the most hardest glare ever. I just grinned innocently. "Take…. Your hand… of…. MY SHOULDER!"
I quickly took my arm
off. Her face was as red as her hair. "Fine toots." I say,
putting my hands up as I thrust my nose in the air. "Just don't
come running to me when you're in life-threatening danger."
"Oh
please." She scoffed. "You'd be the last person I'd run
to."
"Oh?" I ask snidely. "And who's the first?"
"Oh
wouldn't you like to know?"
"Actually…. I would."
I
dunno if it was just me or was there a hint of jealousy in my
voice?
"Well it aint you that's for sure."
I cup my chin
with my thumb and finger and lean in closer to her. "Don't worry,
I know that I'm your first, second and last choice." I
chuckle.
"Okay Hoagie." She growled. "You're really
pushing it!"
"Me?" I say innocently, putting my hands on my
chest. "What am I pushing?"
"UGH! You really are annoying
me!"
I know I should stop, but I love seeing her getting angry,
especially because of me. Boy is that messed up. But she seemed so
cute when she was angry, especially yelling in her Irish accent.
Everyone seems to be scared of her, but not me. I mean I do get
scared sometimes, but something inside tells me not to be. Corny I
know, but… I seem to be the only boy she's talked to that hasn't
trembled in fear at the sound of her name.
"What are you looking
at?"
I snap back to reality. I was staring at her for way too
long I probably looked like a stalker. So, I just smile sheepishly.
"I was looking at your freckles. I never knew you had so many.
They're kinda cute."
Okay, I pushed the point. Numbuh 86-T
really hated to be called cute. She pointed a finger at me and
started walking towards me as I backed away.
"You are… the
most… absolutely… jerk faced… stupid… pathetic… idiotic boy
in THE WORLD!"
And then I tripped backwards and landed on my
back. Fanny fell on top of me and our noses brushed. I couldn't
help but blush. As I looked up at Fanny I noticed she was blushing
too, with a surprised look on her face. I've never noticed before,
but she has beautiful blue-green eyes, kinda like the ocean. We just
laid there staring at each other until…
"W-what do you think
you're doing Numbuh 2-T?" She gasped as she climbed off me and
stood up. I rested upon my elbows and looked up at her.
"Well
first I was backing away from you, and then I tripped."
"Ugh,
get serious Hoagie." She groaned. "Do you need help?"
She
held out her hand in front of me. Could it be? Numbuh 86-T offering a
kind gesture? I stared at her hand for while. "Well?" She says
annoyed. "It aint gonna bite."
I didn't take a moment to
think and put my hand in hers she grabbed it and thrusted my body
until I was up, but I lost balance and fell. She caught me with her
arms. "You're such a doofus." She mumbled. I just stared at
her. "What?"
"You have pretty eyes."
"Ugh." She
groaned and she pushed me really hard. I fell on the floor
again.
"Hey!" I said. I looked up but she was already walking
off. I growled as I got myself up and ran up to her. "Wait up!"
