Chapter 5
Math isn't as bad as everyone says. Or at least not when you're sitting arm and arm with Kane Alexander Woods. I still couldn't believe it. Who he was, I didn't know. How he knew my dead mother, I didn't know either. When our legs touched my heart zinged, and I could tell his did to. As I finished my math homework, I realised the gravity of this situation. I am a girl, and he is a guy. We like each other. What happens now?
"Hey, Luna. The bell rang, time for lunch and my tour." Kane said winking as he began packing up all his things. I jumped to my feet, and then feeling how hungry I was. My stomach grumbled as if to confirm. Kane laughed.
"What is good?" Kane asked as we joined the lunch line.
"The Chinese food is good, and the cheeseburgers." I say, grabbing a burger. Kane grabbing a Chinese red and white decorated box, giving me a funny look. Laughing I grab some fruit and some chips. He grabs twice the amount I do.
"That's all you're going to eat?" Kane stares at my seemingly bare plate compared to his. I nod my head and turn too punch in my ID code and check out. But a hand reaches out before me, Kane's hand. He taps the little key pad with grace and pays for both our lunches. The lunch lady staring wide-eyed at the screen and then at Kane. And him smiling back.
As we walk away I see what she was staring at. He has $200 in his lunch account.
"You have $200 in your lunch account?" I ask bewildered. He just shrugs his shoulders, "My parents didn't know how much to put in weekly, I guess they chose 200."
"WEEKLY?" I whisper-yell. He nods his head, as if that where normal. We sit in the corner of the cafeteria and eat. After a minute of silence Kane askes, "Did you date that football player?" I jump dropping my burger on my shirt, spilling ketchup all over it.
"Damn it," I hiss, "I do this all the time." Annoyed at myself, I look up at Kane. He is staring wide-eyed at my shirt.
"Sorry, you should change." He says.
"Really? I like this color." I say smiling. His face lights up and he grabs our backpacks.
"Come with me." Kane says, taking my elbow. Leading me away and to the gym.
"Where are we going?" I ask as we turn and head down a flight of stairs I had never seen. And into the guys locker room.
"WHAT?! I can't be in here!" I immediately put my arm over my eyes, peeking through to see Kane smiling at me. I blush and laugh.
"They won't change for another 10 minutes." Kane says. Walking over to a locker, and gracefully unlocking it. Handing me a purple jersey, a mesh jersey.
"Is this yours?" I ask hesitantly.
"Yes." The words, Woods are printed on the back. I look at Kane, and he looks back. I make a turning motion with my hands and he blushes turning. When he does I see my outline against the lockers. I see my hands pulling my soiled shirt off and putting on Kanes soft jersey. As soon as I am fully clothed he turns, and stares.
"What?" I demand.
"Umm." He replies. I walk over to the mirror and stop. You can see the outline of my bra, as well as my figure. Kane joins me in the mirror.
"I think you look pretty," Kane says quietly, taking my hair out of my usual ponytail, and letting it spill around my shoulders.
"For what it's worth, I think you're pretty too." I say turning my head too look at him. Our faces getting closer.
And closer.
And closer.
Then there is pounding on the stairs and yelling of sweaty boys.
