Ain't Your Regular Girlfriend

"Here". I tossed the book on Clara.

"Wow! Thanks! How did you get this Lara? ". Clara asked, excitedly.

" Michael gave it to me ". I said and carried my bag." You through? ".

Clara looked at me surprised, still happy about the book" Where are we going? ". She asked and quickly rises on her feet.

I stopped what I was doing and glanced over at Steven and Christy who has been glued together since today." To the café ".

" It's not break period yet".

" I know! ". I sigh." I can't stay here... I need some air...a Fresh one". I said softly and pulled my backpack over my shoulders. " You going?".

"Yeah, a sec, please. ".

"k," I said fighting the urge of not going over to Steve. Walking nervously, f.u.c.k this! I finally ended up walking over there.

He was sitting with christy resting on him while his seatmate was sitting at the back arguing with Thompson, Nathan, and others.

" I-I wanna talk with you".

"Me?". Thompson laughed loudly and rolled his tongue.

"Steven... I want to talk to you ". I said ignoring the sudden attention from everyone, eyes roaming all over me.

"Can't you see he's busy with... me". Christy giggled and hold Steve more tightly than before. "Now, you can f.u.c.k off". She shrieks.

We quietly walked out of the class down the hallway without uttering a word to each other. "Are you mad at me?" I finally asked. breaking the awkward silence though I knew it wasn't the right thing to was, I couldn't find another word... I was just blank at the moment and it's pretty clear he was, otherwise he wouldn't be messing with christy. "I get it Steve but I...I ".

"You?" he said suddenly cutting me off balance. His voice was hoarse. I could feel the sadness in his small voice, his anguished state all because of our sad ending night at the club.

"Nothing just wanted to give you this". I said handing him the bracelet he got for me the first day we hanged out at the park.

"Keep it, I don't need". He said walking back.

I hurried after him. " Are you going... Um, camping stuff?".

" Yeah? "

" With Christy?". that sounded awkward...like I'm being jealous over his sudden mood with Christy, but he didn't show it. He just nodded and walked away.

"Hey". Clara said to him and he returned it with a smile. "Hi, Clara".

....

"What's wrong?... " Clara asked softly. "Hey, you're making me cry". She said tearfully.

"Hey..., I'm fine... Okay, m not!... It's just stuff with Steven... It ain't going cool". I said softly and Clara pulled me in a hug.

"I'm here for you".
