Jerome POV:
I left class a little before Nina. Alfie caught up with me.
"Man, I have to ask you something, you'd answer it honestly right?" he questioned suddenly.
I was getting a little worried. What if he knew something about me and Nina?No, it was impossible!
"I suppose so mate, get it out." I replied hoping we could get to lunch soon. After lunch everyone had plans except Nina and I, she used homework as an excuse and I said I wasn't going out without a purpose, there was really nothing for me to do anyways.
Joy, Patricia, and Mara were going to a movie, a museum, and then were going to get a bite to eat. Mick, Amber, Alfie, and Fabian were going to some shopping complex, it bothered me how Nina was attracted to a nerd like Fabian before me.
He wanted to replace his copy of The Solar System is Your Friend.
Either way, everyone else would be out, giving Nina and I some alone time.
"What, was... um do you think I'm fat?" he asked out of the blue.
That caught me off guard. Why would he ask a stupid question like that? What is he a girl?
"What.." I asked in a startled voice.
"Amber keeps telling me, how unhealthy it is to eat all this food and how I'm going to end up fat, so yea" I wasn't so convinced that was what he was going to ask me, but I brushed that aside.
"No, now will you please go back to normal?"
"Uh, yea" he replied.
This was a bit awkward. We headed off to lunch.
