I was on my way to lunch and I ran into Ken. He's a good friend, but I hope it's not gonna be weird cause now I know he likes me.
"Hey Steph" he said as he put his arm around my shoulder and continued walking with me.
"Hey Ken, how are you?" I asked
"Good; now that you're by my side" he smirked
"Ha, thanks" I felt a little uneasy when he said that.
"I gotta ask though… I saw you holding hands with Jeff. What's up with that?"
"He's my boyfriend now, Ken"
"Oh I see. So we can't be friends anymore?" he asked sounding disappointed. What the hell, is he mental?
"That doesn't mean we can't be friends" I said obviously
"So he's not the jealous type?" he asked for confirmation.
"No, he trusts me and I trust him. Besides; he knows that I have a lot of guy friends. He doesn't mind"
"OK cool" he said, then he saw Dave sitting at a table. "I gotta go though, I'll see ya later Steph"
"See ya Ken" I said as I sat down with Amy.
"You two looked comfy together" she teased
"Oh stop, you know he's a friend. I just told him about Jeff" I stated
"How'd he take it?" she asked curiously
"He thought we couldn't be friends anymore cause of it"
"What?" she asked, cause she thought I was kidding.
"Ya, stupid huh. So I told him we can still be friends"
"Ya, anyways" Amy said, dismissing Ken's silliness or stupidity (whatever you want to call it) "Adam and Shannon are sitting over there" she pointed across the room.
"Who?" I didn't know who she was talking about.
"The other two guys that like you" she reminded me
"Oh ya" So I walked over to them, although I don't really know them. "OK guys, look I don't want to come off as a bitch but I heard that you guys like me"
"Ya" Adam stated
"Well, bluntly put; sorry I'm not interested"
"That's cool" Shannon said
"Alright, have a good day" I said and walked back to Amy and I's table. That was easy. As I got to the table I noticed John sitting there too. That's not unusual. The 3 of us always eat lunch together cause Randy and Jeff aren't in the same lunch as us.
"Hey Steph" John said just as cheery as usual, like nothing happened.
"Hey John. I didn't think you'd eat lunch with us today" I commented as I sat down.
"Why not?" he asked. Uhhh, duh.
"Cause I pretty much ran away from you after you…" I was about to finish it but
"…kissed her" Amy finished it.
"Thanks Ames" I said as she had one of those 'sorry' looks on her face.
"No problem, you don't feel that way about me. Still best friends though, right" John held out his hand. But I went and gave him a hug.
"Of course" I said, he is so understanding. But the thing is, there are SOME feelings there. It's just… I don't know.
"But she's with Jeff now" Amy piped in.
"That's cool. Jeff's my friend now but if he breaks your heart, then I break him" John stated
"John, you don't have to worry about that" I said as the bell rang "I'll see ya later guys"
"Bye" they said in unison.
After a couple boring classes (economics and world history) I got to my last period with Jeff, art class.
"Hey Hun" Jeff said as I sat next to him. Awe, he's already calling me Hun :D
"Hey Jeff" I gave him a hug.
"How has your day been?" he asked
"Definitely not boring, I'll tell ya that much. You?"
"Great. Now that you're my girl" I smiled and we continued talking about how our days went. After the bell rang he asked "You need a ride home?"
"Na, thanks for the offer but I'm gonna stop by and see how Randy's doing and Ames already offered"
"Aww shucks" he teased, it made me laugh. He always has a tendency to do that.
"Don't worry, you can give me a ride tomorrow and you can meet my aunts. They've been wanting to meet my friends and once they find out that you're my boyfriend then they'll be dieing to meet you" I explained
"Alright, that's cool"
"But I gotta go. So I'll see ya in the morning" I said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Then he gave me a hug.
"See ya" Jeff added. Then I went to my locker to get the stuff out that I needed. As I was doing that; Dave came up to me and leaned against the locker next to me. He's another good friend. "Hey Davey"
"Why do you call me that?" he asked
"Cause it's funny" I stated
"How exactly is it funny?"
"Cause you're a big, strong guy and Davey is one of those cutsey, kiddy names. It fits you so well" I laughed
"Not funny. So, you datin Jeff now?"
"Yep, you talk to Ken?" I figured he did.
"Ya, why did he think that just cause you and Jeff are together, you guys couldn't be friends?" Dave laughed
"Dude, I have no idea. Sometimes I don't think he's right in the head" I answered
"Well that's Ken for ya"
"Yep. Nothing changes between us right?" I asked. By me saying that I could tell that he understood what I meant.
"Nope" he stated matter-of-factly.
"OK good, but I gotta go meet up with Amy. So I will talk to you tomorrow, alright" I said and shut my locker.
"Alright Steph" he gave me a hug "See ya tomorrow" he said and I went to meet up with Amy. Don't worry about the hug, he always hugs me.
"I need to tell you where Randy lives, don't I?" I asked Amy as I got in her car.
"Duh" she answered.
As we got to Randy's…
"OK, for now you stay out here cause…" I started to say.
"… you don't know if he'll be comfortable talking to you about that with me around. No biggie" she finished. I swear, it's like she reads my mind.
"Ya. I'll be back out to get ya" I got out of the car and knocked on the door. Bob answered it. I was star struck for a minute. I just stared at him.
"Can I help you?" he asked
"Oh ya" I snapped out of it. "Can I talk to Randy? I'm Stephanie" I held out my hand and he shook it.
"Ya, come on in" he said as I walked in. "So you're Stephanie?" he asked
"Yep, how long you been home?"
"This morning, right before Randy left"
"Before he left… What? I thought he was sick"
"Nope. I haven't been home in like 2 months so I let him stay home and we spent the day together"
"Cool, where's he at now?" I asked as I looked around and he was nowhere in sight.
"Downstairs trying to get better at pool, cause I just beat him 3 times straight"
I laughed "You mind if I go talk to him?" I asked
"No, go right ahead" he said. So I went downstairs. "Hey Sicky" I teased
"I wasn't really…" he began
"I know, your dad told me. He seems like a cool guy"
"He is. What did you stop by for?"
"Well fine, I just wanted to talk to my best friend. But I can see I'm not wanted" I turned around and pretended I was hurt.
"Oh Steph, stop. What did you want to talk about then?"
"Well John and I were talking today…" I started to say before Randy interrupted me.
"There's you're problem right there. You 2 shouldn't talk. Bad things happen" he smirked
I stuck my tongue out at him before I continued "No, but he seems to think that you like me"
"Of course I like you. You're my best friend"
"No he means, like like me" I said and he got what I was getting at.
"Oh, no…no. Even though we've only known each other for a couple months, you're like a little sister to me" he said and gave me a hug.
I took a breath. "OK, cause it's been on my mind all day"
"Really?"
"Ya, so has something else. I think I found the perfect girl for you. She matches everything you described to me"
"Cool… Oh; speaking of relationships, congrats"
"What?"
"John called me and said that you and Jeff hooked up" he answered
"Yep" I smiled
"He better not break your heart otherwise…"
"You'll break him. John already said it. Don't worry he won't. Now let me go get Ms Perfect" I said and went to the stairs.
"You have her here?" he asked nervously.
"Ya, now you know her and you're kinda friends with her but like I said you described this girl to a T. So just get to know her alright"
"OK" he said and I went and got Amy and brought her downstairs. "Amy? Really?" he seemed a little surprised.
"Yep" I commented
"Hey Randy" she was nervous, even he could tell.
"You don't have to be nervous around me. You wanna play pool?" Randy asked her
"Sure" Amy said and got a pool stick as Randy set up the table.
"I'll just leave you 2 alone" I went to leave, then realized that Amy was my ride "Wait. Randy, you think your dad could give me a ride home?"
"Ya, it shouldn't be a problem"
"OK, I'll see you guys tomorrow. You guys be good" I teased
"We will" they both said. Then I went upstairs and Bob agreed to give me a ride home.
"So who's that girl?" he asked me
"That's Amy. See, Randy told me the type of girl he's looking for and he basically described her. So I'm hooking them up" I smiled
"Cool. Now I'm sure he would be mad at me if I told you so this is between you and me"
"OK" I agreed
"You know he likes you, right?"
"What? No, he told me that I'm like a little sister"
"Ya right. You're all he talked about today" he stated
"…No" I didn't know how to respond.
"Ya" he smiled at me
"Well Amy's like me, so maybe he'll realize that and fall for her"
"You hope so right, since you have a boyfriend" How does he know this already?
"He told you that too?"
"Ya, he was kinda down after John called him. He also knows that John kissed you" That's great :S
"Oh my god, that's just great. Could you do me a favor?"
"Sure"
"Don't like, push her down his throat but…" I didn't know how to put it.
"Try to keep Randy's mind off you and on Amy?"
"Yes"
"I can do that, no problem" he said as we pulled up to the house.
"Thanks Bob" I gave him a hug. "And thanks for the ride" I added
"No problem sweetie" he said as I got out and waved as he pulled away. 'Cowboy' Bob Orton called me 'sweetie' that is awesome.
"How was your day?" Darci asked as I got in the house.
"It was great, I guess" then I thought about it and overall it was "Ya it was great"
"Well what happened?" Kim asked, she always wants all the info.
"This is gonna take a bit, let's sit down" I said and we sat in the living room. I told them everything. Now I know most kids wouldn't tell their parents everything about this particular day. But these are my aunts and I have ALWAYS told them everything.
"Well damn!" Darci said. That's what I thought too.
"You got a boyfriend!" Kim said happily
"Ya" I laughed at her.
"So when do we meet him?" Kim asked
"We just got together today and you already wanna meet him?"
"Ya" Kim said as Darci laughed at her.
"Tomorrow" I simply said
"Yay" Kim is such a dork. :P
