Chapter 4

The rest of the day I noticed Colin eyeing me in between classes but I was not prepared when he sat at my table at lunch with a huge grin that’d I’d never seen him wear. I gaped at him. He kept smiling. “Why so surprised?” he asked. I kept gaping at him. “What?” he said playfully. I noticed he was wearing a white long sleeved t-shirt and jeans. I shut my mouth and picked at my food. “So what are we going to do today?” He asked more calmly, seeing my surprise no doubt. “We?” I managed to choke out. “Yeah who else are you going to hang out with?” he said, smiling again. “W-well I was thinking more of just hanging out under the apple tree.” I said. At least I was talking. “Well you don’t want o be a…loner do you?” he said feebly. I shrugged. “I’m used to it.” I replied. “Kayla and Melissa get sick easily.” I said. “Okay the.” He said and stood up to leave. I paused. “I want him to stay!” I was almost screaming in my head. “Wait! Fine I’ll hang with you.” I said, admitting defeat. He smiled that smile again. “So what are we going to do?” he said. “Well I need to stuffy for that math test. Oh! I also need to finish up that PowerPoint presentation on Nuclear Energy and-“ I began. “Other then academics” Colin interrupted. I drawed a blank on that one. “You don’t know do you?” He said. “No I don’t.” I sighed. “Well I have something so come on!!!” He said pulling my arm and dashing across the cafeteria. “Your fast!” I said. He turned his head and smiled that big smile of his then continued on.
