- Lunch Time -
It was only Lunch, and I found myself sat outside alone. There were two reasons I wasn't eating today: 1, I wasn't hungry. And 2, I didn't know how to use the dang chopsticks. So instead I settled on sitting down with my back against the wall, going through old photos on my phone. I really did miss home, but I was definitely going to try an' get used to China.
"You know we only wear uniforms on uniform day right?" I jumped and looked up to see Cheng.
"Yeah well mom didn't get the memo" I replied, looking back down at my phone.
"Don't let Mrs Po catch you with that, she'll take it from you" He said, I looked up at him with an annoyed expression.
"Well aren't you helpful" He raised his eyebrows, crossing his arms.
"Why so hostile all of a sudden?" He asked innocently.
"Oh yah know, nothing much. Just the fact you nearly put my brother in the hospital" I snapped, rising to my feet. He rolled his eyes and shrugged while leaning agains't the wall.
"He made the first move" He pointed out. I tried to think of something to come back with but I couldn't, and judging by the sudden smirk on his face he knew it too "See, you have nothing against me" I groaned and tried to walk past him, but he wouldn't let me.
"Move" I demanded.
"Make me" He whispered, smirking. I tried pushing him out of the way but it completely failed, only ending up with my front agains't the wall with both hands being held behind my back.
"Oh great" I groaned. I tried turning my head to face him, but found it was too much of a stretch.
"That went well" He teased, I sighed.
"Why are you torturing me?" I whined, giving up on my struggling.
"I like you, you're like the shiny new toy" He said, I rolled my eyes.
"Don't I feel special" I sarcastically muttered.
"I'm kidding...sort of. I do like you though, you're hot" He said. I just huffed and relaxed as much as I could "I'll make you a deal" He started, turning me around and letting go of my hands. When I was fully turned, he put his hands on either side of my shoulders so I couldn't move "You pretend to be my girlfriend and I won't hurt your brother" He finished, smirking slightly.
"I thought you went out with that girl from the park?" I asked confusedly, he rolled his eyes.
"No, our family's are very close but back to the point. Do we have a deal?" He asked, I sighed and leaned back against the wall.
"Deal" He nodded.
"Good, we start tomorrow" He said, stepping back "See you tomorrow Bree" He waved before walking away. I slid down the wall to the floor, wondering just what I had done.
- After School -
I met up with Dre oustide and to be completely honest, he looked as though he'd had a worse day than me "You don't look so good bro" I remarked. He gave me a small smile and we started walking home.
"Yeah it's been a rough day" He sighed, I nodded sympathetically.
"What happened?"
"I was talking to Meying and then after she walked away Cheng came along and knocked my food all over me. Then he got away with it!" He exclaimed angrily. I nodded and a looked of confusion crossed my face.
"Dre, who's Meying?"
"The girl from the park" He explained, I nodded in understanding.
"Oh I get it now" He nodded.
"So how was your first day?" He asked, his mood changing. I decided not to tell him about the deal just in case it made him a little nutty.
"As good as a first day can get" I replied, he nodded and we walked the rest of the way in silence.
