As I look at the book, I contemplate whether I Should give the book back to him, or just turn it in to Mrs. Campbell.. I look to see if she is still in the classroom, when I find it empty. Great, I'll have to give it to him myself
As the bell rings for lunch, I then remember I still have Chresanto's book and I weeded to give it to him. Planning on giving it to him at lunch, I make my way to the cafeteria.
I usually sit outside under a giant oak tree alone, but I guess today is a different story. I scan the cafeteria looking for him when I see him at a secluded table with 3 other guys and 2 girls. Slowly, but surely making my way over there, I watch my step.. Knowing who I have effe'd up luck.
When I reach his table, they all look up to me, some with questioning glances, others with confused.
"Uhm, I found this on the floor after 1st period and I think it's yours?" I say nervously.
"Yes, that's mine. Did you read it?" He asks defensively?
"NO! I I didn't that w-would be invading your p-privacy. And I saw your name on The.. The front" I managed to stutter out.
"woah, calm down Cres, she brought it back, no need to grill her for it. You should be thanking her" a boy with a curly Afro said.
I silently thanked him for standing up for me. " well I must be leaving" I say turning around but the dude with the Afro stops me before I could leave.
"What's the rush? I've never seen you before.. What's your name? Are you new?" He says
"No. I've been here for 2 years and my name is Mariah" I whisper out.
He looks like he is having an internal debate.
"Oh, well do you want to sit with us?" He asks
"oh, no, I don't think-"
"yeah, she doesn't want to sit with us. She obviously has better thinks to do" Chresanto rudely interrupts me.
He gives me a look telling me that I am obviously annoying him with my presence, the girls at the table giggle this.
Turning on my heel I make my way outside, mentally cursing Him out for being an ass. I simply did him a favor and went out of MY comfort zone to give him his stupid boom back and he repays me with dirty looks and a rude tone. I now know I'll be avoiding him.
Realizing I had not much time left for lunch, I begin making my way to my next class. Counting down the hour till I can get the hell out of here.
*BRINNNGG* the last bell of the day brings me out of my daze and I quickly get my stuff and out the door.
I begin walking out the school doors and making my way out when the same black range rover from earlier stops in front of me.
" Hey, Mariah.. Can I uh talk to you for a minute?"
Realizing its Chresanto I keep going in my path. Not even giving him the time of day
I hear car door slam and suddenly he is in front of me.
"hey, wait up! I just want to you know apologize for earlier. I was just in a bad mood" he says rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's okay.." I say ready to begin my walk home.
" If that's all you need, I need to be making my way home." I say.
"I could give you a ride!" He offers
"No thanks, I'll just walk." I say
"It's okay, I insist!" He says with a determined look.
Giving up I begin making my way to the passenger seat ready to get to my empty house.
"So, where do you live?" He asks
I give him the directions to my house and he looks at me like I'm crazy.
"What?" I ask suddenly becoming self conscious.
"It's just funny..." He says trailing off
"WHAT?!" I ask getting really annoyed..
" we're neighbors" he says with a smirk
