Chapter seven: WINNIE THE POOH

TO SAY I WAS SURPRISED at Elliot's figure in front of the girls' bathroom door would be an understatement. Actually, neither of us talked after he said that he was really concerned about me, which I really didn't respond to. Hell I didn't see that coming

We kept walking toward the parking lot, I clear my throat which slightly hurt after my outburst "where's Noah?" I say pushing the awkwardness away.

Elliot smiles at the question "Noah isn't a student here, he goes to art school" that explained why I didn't see him around. "What happened with you there?" he speaks again and I wonder if I should tell that random fact about me.

"Actually uuh-I got an insect phobia since I can remember, so whenever I see a creepy-crawly it never ends well" he nods his head to the newly acquired information; I spot a curb and fasten my legs toward it. I needed to sit down, I felt weak suddenly my stomach aching at the sudden vomiting.

Elliot follows and he looked more concerned, I am sure I looked sick. I take a breath and try to clear my mind from the unholy picture of the moving fake cockroach. Ravi that spawn of Satan!

"You'd want me to drive you to the hospital? You look like shit" he says and I roll my eyes. He does have a filter for sure, he didn't look even aware of what he said. I guess he's back to being a jerk "oh I know thanks they own a mirror here" Elliot looks taken aback. I sigh into my hands; I have no energy to talk "look I didn't mean that I said it because you really looked sick that's my way of conversing I guess" he brushed his hair off his face with his left hand as he talked. If I wasn't still sick it would be a great show to gawk at. "You have a unique way of conversing" I mumble in my hands. I look up and find him smiling. Dear, what's with him laughing at me?

I spot May walking toward me and I almost yap at her, I don't want to end up fighting again with Elliot. I stand up and she hugs me "what's wrong with you woman you look awful!" talk about manners!

I tell her and she stifles a laugh Elliot's tilting his head enjoying my friends' blasting attitude. "C'mon Sheryl you should get a grip on your composure but we're dealing with the fucker later"

I hear Elliot clearing his throat and turn my attention to him again "thanks Elliot see you... I guess" he turned to walk away without uttering a word. God his mood swings are a killer.

May furrows her eyebrows at his retreating figure as she puckers her lips, furrowing her eyebrows. I guess I'll never get along with the boy.

I grab May by the arm and walk to the bus station. It was a lot to take, but it was what life handed me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later in the day, I call the mechanic to fix my car. I push the lobby's button in the elevator, may wants to go shopping and I have tennis practice. I asked May to come along, but the lazy bum declined. She's wearing a crop top which shows her slight tummy fat, I already pointed it to her but she said if Winnie the pooh can wear one why can't she?

The elevator dings and josh appear at the door carrying many shopping bags, I never shop that much and I am a girl. Geez!

He shoots us an adorable smile; May waves her hand saying hi and ends up hitting me on the head. She smiles sheepishly.....

"Where to ladies?" josh's wearing a headband, sweats and a sweater, the casual attire brings out the blue in his eyes.

"We're heading out you?" I speak stepping out of the elevator, "I did some shopping today, and you're working out?" I make attention to him eying my attire up and down. "uh-yeah I have tennis practice today" he nods his head sweetly. May suspects his purchases and I pull her beside me.

"Actually my dad's throwing a charity ball this Friday, it'd be nice if you make an appearance" josh scratches his neck hesitantly asking, he surprises me.

Throwing? I guess he's pretty rich to say it casually because those balls aren't that random.

I chew over his offer in my head and weigh the pros and cons, it's a charity ball, there will be wealthy people who will intimidate me but I couldn't say no to the pretty face.

I find May fully pouting at me. Puppy dog eyes and all. Shit. I can never resist those

"Okay I am in, text me the address thanks for the invitation I guess" I surrender and May claps her hands like the kid she is.

"Finally you're getting a life woman!" may swings her hips toward mine, I swear the lady can't be subtle. "I'll give you a ride next Saturday if you want" I nod my head gratefully since I am not sure I'll get my car fixed by then.

May high fives Josh and he throws a wink my way. I swear my cheeks could burn down an entire forest. I hide the blush creeping to my neck as may laughs at my frustration. I envy May sometimes, she could even flirt with cats.

Damn high school for not teaching me how to flirt!

May takes a cab and I wait for Janis to pick me up, she plays tennis as well and god she takes the entire club's members down. I take the passenger seat once she stops the car; Taylor swift's voice blasting through speakers. "C'mon stop with the sappy music J!" she swats my hand away from the radio and I scowl.

"Life's too short to pretend you don't like Taylor Swift songs!" Janis half shoots.

We shake it off all the way!
