EXTRAORDINARY WAY

CHAPTER 14

"So did you photocopy it? Cause I need an extra copy for the council members this afternoon." Summer said in a hurried tone. The two of us were sitting on our regular spot in the cafeteria with notes scattered on our table next to our half eaten lunch. "Oh and uh, will you tell Nancy to please hurry up with those new articles, I've been reminding her but she still hasn't shown up yet." She complained.

"I got it all under control, so will you please. . . please eat?" I urged with a smile as I place the photocopy on the table for her to see. And with a stiff nod, our vice pres continued eating. It's been a week and a half since I've been Summer Hathaway's assistant and we've been sitting together at lunch for days now. I can feel Summer warming up to me, as a friend I mean. Now, I can ask her stuff that I couldn't before and in return she does the same. Summer pulled her napkin to wipe her mouth as I take a sip of my lemonade.

"So. . . You hung out with Freddy yesterday?" I spilled some lemonade upon hearing that. Summer kept eating, not looking at me.

"Um… yeah." I muttered, feeling a little nervous without knowing why.

"How did that happened?" She chirped.

"He suggested Frozen beverages, and i'm up for anything cold." I said smoothly with a smile. Summer not buying it looked at me suspiciously.

"Really. . . cause last time I checked you two didn't specifically like each other." She cooed as I fidgeted.

"Yeah well, we still try to rip each other's heads off verbally, as much as we can." I said before taking a sip of my lemonade, trying my best to brush off the topic.

"Uhuh, Well as O.K. as that may seem, just don't get caught up in all of his charm." She warned, finally looking me in the eye. "Freddy is very . . . childish when it comes to girls." Summer explained, I don't get why though, did she think I was into him or something? "Meaning, he could like a girl today but he will soon see something new tomorrow and then, you know the drill." Somehow this talk is making me feel nausea.

"I know. Really, you don't have to worry about me getting in all of that." I smiled brightly. "He isn't my type." I said with a clap which made Summer laugh.

"Hard to believe cause apart from the band, he seems to be everybody's type." She stated. "Speaking of which, what is your type?"

The bell ringed just as I was about to speak so Summer and I stood up, brushed our skirts and arranged our ties before heading off to our next class.

"Hey do you really think your mom won't mind about me staying over at your place?" She reminded me as we hurriedly walk on the hallway. Students walking past us in the same pace. Summer had a dilemma this morning if she could finish all her paper work by the end of the week because Friday night the Band will be competing on V-tro. She's a little troubled by the idea that she might not reach her deadline, so I offered her to sleep over at my house on Wednesday. Actually I asked to come over at her place first, but she had relatives coming over which is why she thought it would be more appropriate on our house where there are fewer people. I couldn't reject her logic.

"Don't worry, she won't mind." Or care. "That's the day after tomorrow, right?" I asked her before turning left toward my class. Summer stopped on the door of her class room give me a nod before stepping inside.

The rest of the day was plain boring, if you ask me. Nothing exceptionally exciting happened until fourth period. Mr. Taylor asked me to go to the storage room to get some chalk and upon seeing the door open, I slowly walked in. A familiar brunette boy was currently rummaging through the stuff. I laughed silently when he bumped a shelf and millions of year-old dust fell on him.

"Zack, what are you doing?" I said, completely amused.

"Keys, what up?" I reach out to clean his shoulder. He smiled and flipped his hair and thousands of dust flew my way. He laughed as I coughed. "Sorry, but you were too close."

"Ahh! Quit attacking me." I complained when he kept dusting his arm towards me. "Why are you in here anyway?"

"To look for Narnia." He seriously said before smirking at me.

"Well, sorry to say but you sir are in the wrong closet. The gate way to Narnia is on the west wing's storage room." I jokingly said. He laughed some more as I took two pieces of chalk from the shelf.

"Sir Tyler asked for chalk?" He questioned and I nodded.

"How'd you know?"

"He's famous for breaking 'em. Then he'll run out and then the school will run out of chalk too, he's the main reason why they keep four boxes in the faculty room." He chatted.

"And you? do you need chalk as well?" I asked as I lean on the wall. He smiled lazily as stare at me, and may I just say, He looked really cool when he did that. "Well?" I asked again when he didn't say anything.

"Actually, I'm looking for the erasers." He said before resuming to his search, I stiffed a laugh at his situation because the eraser box wasn't in here. "I was getting really pissed cause they're nowhere to be found, good thing you came." He added.

"How long did you say you were in here?" I asked.

"A couple of minutes before you came." He said, walking towards me. "Why?" I shook my head with a smile, took his hand and pulled him out of the storage room. His hand was warm and i can feel the callus on his fingers. He didn't speak as we walked silently through the hallway up until were in front of the faculty room door. I let go of his hand and leaned on his ear.

"Is that what you were looking for?" I told him as I point through the glass and right directly to the box that says Erasers. He cracked a smile at what I said. "Looking for Narnia huh?" I teased before walking away and heading to class.

"I knew it was here you know!" He yelled before chuckling, I chuckled as well.

"Sure." I sang. picturing him smirking behind me. I turned to peak, and i was right.

Mr. Tyler didn't even use the chalk I got. But it was still a funny incident with Zack, so I really didn't care.

It took a while, i know and i'm sorry. It's just tons of thinsg had to be done so i barely got time to write nowadays. But my love and enjoyment in writing fanfics has not disappeared yet. I'm just slow in updating, so your patience is very much rewarding. Anyhow, I have soo many ideas for this story, and i want you guys to be able to read it as soon as possible. As writing romantic moments is my forte and also my favorite part, i cannot wait to get to it already. Hopefully, this semestral break, i'll be able to upload plenty of chaps. ^^ Thank you for reading.

Kate :)
