Chapter 14

Gunther POV

Friday came faster than I expected. Though it was probably because I was looking forward to it so much. I was going out with CeCe, though in a very indirect way. Still...

CeCe was back in school on Monday, and I hung back so that Rocky could have her CeCe time. Those two really went together like goat and cheese. A fact I couldn't help but notice was that when Rocky walked alongside CeCe, they were pretty much ignored, but when I was walking beside her, everybody turned to stare. Maybe it was because thry were all used to seeing CeCe attached to Rocky's hip. A mystery that we will never know the answer to.

"Hey, Gunther," CeCe called, her voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Yeah?"

The red head thrust a blue folder into my hands. She looked up expectantly as I opened it up and found six sheets of paper. I started to read. The amount of detail she was able to add was astounding. This woman that she was writing about had gone from being relatively clueless to breaking down at the sight of her daughter crying. "Magnificent," I replied.

"You're not just saying that are you? "

"Why on Earth would I lie to you? You should know by now that I don't like to sugar coat things."

"True," she relented. "You excited for tonight?"

"Absolutely."

She straightened her back, trying to look menacing. "I'm warning you. If you insist on ordering anything weirder than ham on our pizza, and I will not speak to you for an entire week."

Obviously, she had noticed that I had recovered most of my old eating habits, and was still disgusted by them. Inwardly I chuckled; some things never change. I raised my right hand innocently. "I promise."

"Good." The bell rang and she trotted down the hall to her next class. I made a right and slammed into the door. I rubbed the sore spot on my head as I turned to avoid the door and get into the classroom.

"Yo," a dark skinned boy, commonly known as Ty Blue, called. I waved and sat down moments before the teacher came in and plunked him grey backpack on the front desk.

"What are we talking about today?" he asked. Every hand stayed down. "What? No takers? In that case we are going to discuss John Adams and his role in the Revolutionary War. And I think the best way to do that is by watching a film, so all heads off of my desks and all books on the floor." A clatter as everyone dropped their belongings to the floor. "Thank you." Mr. Lok hit play and "John Adams" started to play, then the lights went out.

...

CeCe was waiting with Rocky and Deuce at the front doors after eighth period. "Hey," Rocky called. I raised my hand in a wave. As we drew near I got as close to CeCe as I possibly could without seeming obvious.

"Ready to go?" Ty asked.

"Are you kidding? My stomach hasn't stopped growling since lunch," CeCe stated loudly. /

"Did you even eat lunch?" I jabbed.

CeCe looked at me like her pride had been severly wounded. "Of course I did." I noticed that her voice was a notch higher on the pitch scale.

"Liar," I stated. She looked, well, wounded, and a little bit puzzled that I had noticed. She cocked her eyebrow, asking. "Your voice rose in pitch, a clear sign that you are lying."

"Okay, so I didn't eat lunch. I wasn't hungry, so what?" She shrugged and pushed open the door, leading the way to Crusty's.

There you go.
