The Next Day
Today has been the longest school day of my life. Everywhere I went I heard girls whispering about me and guys kept whistling when I walked by. I kept quiet the whole day in all my classes, which isn't like me and it got all of my teachers worried and had them asking me if I was all right. I lied and told them I was fine, that I was just tired from studying too much and lucky for me, they believed me. It was a half truth, I am tired, but not from studying so much. Ever since yesterday all I've been able to do is think about Randy, about what happened between us, about what he said to me... everything.
I would be lying if I said I didn't feel the same way he does because I do, but I'm scared. He's older than me and there is still so much about him that I don't know. He's mysterious, he's dangerous, he's... he's the best thing I have in my life right now. He makes me feel good, he makes me feel not so alone and he's made me feel things I've never felt before.
He wants an answer, he will get one today and that answer will be yes.
As I opened my locker and thought about how I'd get to Randy's apartment I heard a voice say gWell, well if it isn't Little-Miss-Center-Of-Attention.h
I looked over and saw Kasey and Angela sneering at me. gGo away,h I told them gI don't have time to deal with your petty jealousy.h
gYou think we're jealous of you?h asked Angela.
gYou are so wrongh Kasey told me.
gI know you are. You both have the hots for Randy and he ignored you both for me. You're mad because you two think you're hot stuff and he's chosen me, little miss frumpy.h
I looked at them and I could tell that I was right, they didn't need to say a word. I slammed my locker shut and said gSay and do whatever you want, it is of no concern to me. Just leave me alone from now on if you're going to act like two conceited bitches.h
With that said I walked away.
As I exited the school Nash came running over to me and asked gAre you all right Rowan?h
gI'm fineh I replied.
gI'm sorry for how Kasey and Angela are acting, it's bullshit.h
gYeah well, girls will be girls.h
gYou taking the bus home?h
gActually I need to go somewhere.h
gOrton's place?h
I looked at him and asked gHow did you know?h
He shrugged and said gWell if you aren't going home and you aren't hanging out with Kasey or Angela, I'm guessing that would be the place you're going to.h
gIt ish I told him.
gI'll take you if you want.h
I thought for a moment, then nodded.
I followed Nash to his car and got in. gJust tell me where to goh he said.
I gave him the directions and he nodded. gEasy enough.h
gThank you Nashh I told him softly.
gIt's no problem Rowan. You've always been nice to me and you've always been loyal and honest. You've always seemed so lonely, so it's nice to see you find someone.h
gEven if he's older and kind of dangerous?h
He shrugged and said gYou can't help who you fall for.h
gYeah I guess that's true.h
Nash patted my hand and gave me a smile, I smiled back as he drove off down the street.
Nice to see someone on Rowan's side!
How do you think Randy will react to Rowan's answer?
