Chapter 5: Great
It's been a couple months since I started at the new school and things are going great. I've made a lot of friends. But my best friends are Randy, John, Jeff and Amy. My life is going great. I guess Randy's sick today, cause John got on the bus by himself.
"Hey John, what's up?" I asked as he sat across from me.
"Hey Steph. Not much, you?" he said then sat on the edge of the seat, facing me.
"I think I found the perfect girl for Randy" I said as I did the same.
"Who? You?" he smiled at me
"What? No. What?" I didn't know how to respond to that.
"Oh come on, I know you like him" John teased
"No I don't, he's my best friend" I argued
"That may be but everyone knows you guys like each other" Is he serious? Ya I was stoked that when he described the perfect girl for him, he described me. But I honestly never really thought of him like that. The girl I had in mind for him was Amy.
"Randy likes me?" I questioned, I wanted to know how he figured that one out.
"Well, he hasn't actually came out and say it but it's obvious Steph. Just like it's obvious that you like him"
"I don't like Randy like that though" Atleast I'm pretty sure I don't. Besides; I'm kinda crushing on Jeff.
"Sure you don't" John said, full of sarcasm.
"I like Randy just as much as I like you John"
"Whatever; besides, he's not the only one that likes you" John said casually
"WHAT?!" I was shocked, big time.
"Oh ya, you're what a lot of guys are looking for. Believe it or not; since you got here, this school has changed a lot"
"But I'm bald, what kind of guy would want me?"
"But you don't care what people think about you. A lot of girls do. It's a real turn on to guys when girls don't care about that stuff. Because we don't have to worry about them taking forever to get ready or them constantly looking in the mirror. It gets annoying" John explained
"OK, which guys like me?" I asked
"The ones that have said it or the ones that you can just tell?"
"The one's that have actually said it"
"OK, there's Dave Batista, Ken Anderson, Adam Copeland, Shannon Moore, Jeff told me he likes you but I'm not supposed to say anything"
I didn't do anything for these guys to like me; I'm not even looking for a boyfriend. "Is that it?" I asked, cause it seemed like he wasn't done.
"No, there's one more that I'm aware of"
"You mean beside the 'apparently obvious' Randy?"
"Ya" he answered and looked at the floor.
"Who?" I asked
"Ummm"
"John, who else?" I was starting to get impatient.
"Well…"
"JOHN!" damn it, I wanted to know.
"Me" he blurted out.
"What?"
"Ya" was all he said
"What did I do for all you guys to like me?" I asked, cause I had no idea.
"You're just you. You didn't have to do anything" John said sweetly, just smiling at me. One of those smiles that would make a girl fall for him but I wasn't in the mood, all this news he told me… I guess it scared me.
"But I was just me at my last school and I didn't have any friends, let alone any guy that liked me. Nobody even talked to me" This is insane, 7 guys like me and half of them I barely even know who they are.
"Then I guess they were missing out" John said as he kissed me, then I panicked and pulled away. What is going on? Good thing we had just gotten to school cause I got off that bus and ran to find Amy. I found her talking to Jeff.
"Ames, I need to talk to you" I smiled at Jeff "Alone"
"OK" she said as we walked down the hallway. "What's up Steph?" Amy seemed worried; I guess I should have tried not to freak out so bad.
"John just kissed me"
She got wide eyed. "Well don't tell Jeff that, cause…"
"…he likes me" I finished
"How do you…"
"…know. John told me"
"Well, did you…"
"…kiss him back? No, I freaked"
"Do you like…"
"…John? I don't know" Amy and I had gotten close, we always finished each others sentences.
"Do you like Jeff?" she asked
"Ya I do. But…"
"…John told you something else. Just tell me what happened" she said trying to get me to calm down.
"Basically I told him that I found a girl for Randy and he went on to say that I liked Randy"
"Do you?"
"No, not like that. Then he told me that like 6 other guys like me too" I was still amazed by that.
"So that's how you found out"
"Ya"
"So where does John kissing you come in at?"
"Well apparently John likes me too. Then I asked what I did for all these guys to like me. And he said that I was just myself. Then I complained about how nobody at my last school liked me, let alone a guy. And he said 'I guess they missed out' then he kissed me" I said in pretty much one breath.
"Well damn Steph. Wait, who's the girl you found for Randy?" she asked, I smiled at her.
"You. You do like him, don't you?" I had to make sure.
"At first I didn't but because of you I got to know him and… Well ya, I like him"
"Good, now we have to find out if John is right about Randy liking me. I think John is just seeing things"
"Ya, besides; you guys are just friends" Amy stated
"Exactly"
"Now what about Jeff?"
"What about him?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Do you like him?"
"I told you that I do"
"We have that established. Now what are we gonna do about these other guys that like you?" she asked. But I didn't know. We stood there for a couple minutes.
"I think we should tell Jeff first and tell him he has nothing to worry about, then tell these guys they have no chance" I explained
"OK"
"But you're sure that Jeff likes me?"
"Oh ya. I'm positive" she said in one of those 'duh' tones.
"Where's he at now?"
"Coming up behind you" I turned around and saw him coming towards us, smiling at me.
"Hey Jeff" I said and smiled back.
"Hey Steph hey Amy, what's going on?" he asked
"I'll leave you two alone" Amy said and smiled at us, like that's not obvious.
"I'll see ya after school" I called after her. "Alright Jeff, I know they guy usually asks the girl but you know that I'm not your normal girl. Will you be my boyfriend?" I asked, then he kissed me. That kiss was so full of passion that it made me forget my current problems.
Wow "So…ummm…ya…Is that a yes?" I stumbled over my words.
"Of course it is" he said as he smiled and looked into my eyes. "But there's something else?" he asked
"Ya, there is. Apparently like 6 other guys like me. And I just want you to know that I like you and nobody else. So please don't believe anything you hear until you hear it from me"
"OK babe. But can you blame them for liking you?" Jeff said as he smirked at me.
"You men are all the same" I said and playfully smacked him in the shoulder.
"Ow Steph, I think you broke my arm" he joked
"Ha ha" I said as he put his arm around my waist and he walked me to first period.
