After all that, all the excitement the only thing he says is, "Oh." It was like he knew I was coming, which now that I think about it, there had probably been a lot of talk about the new girl coming to school.
"That's it? Just oh?" My disappointment must've shown because he is already trying to take back his words.
"I...I mean yeah I'm shocked... Happy... That it's you, but I was kinda already expecting a new girl." He places his hands in his pockets and gives me a sly smirk. His excitement had washed off and a new 'tough guy' attitude had replaced it.
"Oh," I say.
"Yeah." He just stood there as if waiting for me to say something else. He made me feel awkward, as if I didn't belong here.
"Ahem!" Gennie said walking up from behind me. "Care to introduce your friend?"
"Um Y-yeah." I say, breaking my staring contest with him. "Sebastian, Gennie. Gennie, Sebastian." I rub my left arm with my right hand holding it there when I'm done.
"Well hello cutie." Gennie says to Sebastian. I feel my cheeks start to burn so I look down at the floor. "Kel how come you never mentioned you knew such a gorgeous guy?" You know when you blush and you can't help but think your entire face is sweating but you can't reach up and wipe your forehead because then you'd look like a sweaty pig? Yeah that's exactly how I felt then.
Sebastian looks Gennie up and down and smiles, that extremely cute and so seductive closed mouth smile that he does so well. "You make me blush." He said sarcastically.
I can tell he isn't interested in her. She doesn't have the perfectly slim body of all the girls he can get. I'm not going to say that she wasn't a pretty girl because A, it's not true B, even if she wasn't I'd never think poorly of my best friend and C, beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder, so I can't judge.
"Oh yeah?" She took a step closer. She was only inches away from his face when I tapped her on her shoulder.
"Hey Gennie, don't you think we shouldn't keep your mom waiting?" I said trying to distract her. I wanna say I have no idea what possessed me to say that, but I think you can all guess why. If not then let me spell it out for you. I was J.E.A.L.O.U.S.
I would've been upset with her if it wasn't for the fact that she acted like that with every guy. I mean doesn't meeting someone who you used to play with as a kid automatically mean you have dibs?
It is Sebastian who broke the closeness between him and Gennie. "Yeah and I think we should be heading back to class, right boys?" He looks behind himself at his mini posey. They all nod.
"Alright." Gennie says. She moves passed Sebastian and his friends and continued walking. "Nice meeting you."
"Likewise," Sebastian says while walking in the opposite direction. I'm ashamed that the little boy I knew hadn't grown up to be a sweeter person. He seemed naturally cocky and arrogant. I felt as though I was Sandy from Grease and he was Danny trying to keep his cool in front of his friends.
Just when I thought he wasn't going to say anything he stops just in front of me. He leans in, which took every fiber of my being not to take him right there. I was so close to those plump lips.
He places his mouth to my ear and whisperes, "See you around." Before kissing my cheek and walking off. As he did, I shut my eyes and smile. His lips were soft and warm and for a moment made me forget about anything else. Wishing that he'd aimed for my mouth instead. When he was gone I let out the breath I had been holding in and just stood there with the stupidt smile still spread across my face.
"Earth to Kelsi." Gennie says while snapping. She laughes when I jump a bit, startled by her. "Come on lover girl, let's go home." She takes my hand and leads me to the exit. I was already in love with this school.
