Chapter Six

Well, it's another day me not bothering about the parenting practices that are going on I have already forgotten about it until when I got a message from June,

Hey Tom how's the egg

I'm sorry I took a lot of time to get back to you

Wtf, I have already forgotten that I had the class still going but that's not the issue, the issue is I didn't know where the egg is so I ran to my kitchen and started checking all the racks I took my time so I won't mistakenly get it cracked but it wasn't there then I have to check the cupboards and that's where I dropped it and the baby sling. I went back and texted June about when she'll like to take, a few minutes she replied saying that she will like to take that day.

I don't want to hang around school today but now June wants the egg I have to go to school. We are still in the parenting practical week so there's no class being held. When I got to school I remembered what happened yesterday at the school park I hated myself for being treated like a wimp and I don't wanna see the faces of those squad, especially Tyler Brooks.

I had to call June to know her exact location, I just don't want to hang around much.

"Hello" June's voice softly replied.

"Am already in school, where exactly are you?" I asked her.

"I'm having cheer practice in the school gym, can you come over?"

"Yeah it's ok," I said as I opt the call.

" I don't wanna hang around for goodness sake" I cried in my head and started for the school gym.

Well I walked through the school medical centre it's close to the gym in case anyone needs to be attended, I was almost at the school gym but I kinda stop when I noticed someone familiar but not just about the person being familiar, it's a guy and a girl, what dragged my attention is they kissed, wow I'd just not believe I'll see something like this now though it's not new to me high school is enough to teach me about them...and the guy is the one familiar. It's you INO CATER, his gel hair can't be hidden but who's the girl?. Well, I didn't stand for much so I walked away I don't wanna look like a snitch.

Seems like the cheer girls are already through with their practice cause I saw June packing her bag with some other girls, I guess going to her is not what I want.

"Hey June" I called on her, when she looked up she saw me and smiled.

" Why is she smiling, " I thought, I checked if my shoe was well knot and yes it was.

"You took time coming," June said as she walked up to me.

"Sorry about that am a slow walker" I joked and we both laughed.

"Here's the egg" I brought it out with its baby sling and hand it over to her.

"Here we go" I chuckled, looking at her collect the egg and fixing it in the baby sling and then latch the baby sling onto her.

"Done, maybe you could try acting more like a father Tom" she said smiling.

I scratched my hair and laughed.

" Seems like you guys are through with your practice," I said when I started noticing the awkward silence between us.

" Yeah and I was about going too" she looked back hoping she's not forgetting any of her stuff

"Well maybe you could walk me home," she said smiling but this time I noticed some kinda red blushes on her cheeks, I couldn't opt her request.

"Alright, I have no problem with that" I lead the way out of the gym.

" So where exactly do you stay?" I asked her not knowing if she was comfortable answering the question

"If you don't mind telling me it's still ok I just wanted to know" I added.

" I stay in the second-quarter girl's dorm," she said to me while flipping her hair softly to her back and I didn't notice she changed blonde to pink.

"I stay in the West coast area," I said but kinda bragging in a low key.

"Hm, impressive" she smiled, I was dumbfounded she just said only that I was expecting something like 'yeah am a rich guy stuff', she just kept mute while we walk I don't know what to say but I bet I was looking at her dangling ponytail pink hair.

" Your hair....." I said trying to know what reaction she will give about it.

"What about it?" She said looking at me.

"What happened to my hair" This time she was already moving her hands on it hoping there was nothing on it and that moment she did that I chuckled.

"Whattt?, Come on?" She was starting to become serious about if there was anything on her hair, she stop and took a mirror out of her bag.

I didn't let her finish, "there's nothing on your hair June". This time I started to laugh and I think she didn't find it funny at the first moment but then she eased down and was smiling.

"Don't pull that kind of joke again" Her cheeks became redder.

"Sorry about that" there's still amusement in my voice though. I wasn't even going to say anything serious about the hair I didn't even think of anything, lol.

"It's beautiful," I told her, I didn't know when I said it though but it just came out but am already taking the repercussion of saying it not from her but from my body cause am already sweating.

"Um thanks" she chuckled.

We walked for a few minutes later then I guess we have reached the dorm, well it was very beautiful and complex.

She then turn and walked up to the entrance "thanks Tom", she smiled and I think I saw the cheeks becoming red again.

"She blushes" I watched her walk into the glass sliding door, well I guess we are done here, I looked around the dorm before taking my leave though I felt someone is watching me but I don't care.

........................

The quarter's dorm is a nice place though it's just for girls. May watched June walk up to the dorm stairs, she was at the window of her room when I and June were talking. June came up and put on her ear pods seems she likes music whenever she's just walking alone, Humming the songs is what she does best though she's got a good voice.

"Hey" May walked up to June, Seems like June didn't hear her at the first moment but since May was already moving towards her it's then obvious that her attention was needed this time she removed her ear pod.

"Oh, didn't know you were on those" May reached out her hand for a shake.

"Sorry I didn't hear you, it's kinda what I do whenever I walk alone," June said as she took her gracefully.

"Nah it's nothing, music seems to keep us company at times like this" May smiled, "I didn't know you stay around here, though I do see you around in school".

"Hehe, let's say am anonymous" June joked.

"It's obvious" both girls laughed, seems like they were getting along.

"Where's your room?" June asked May.

"I stay on the second floor, room 2A"

"I stay on this floor, room 8C," June told her.

"Call me May, what about you?"

"June" June smiled, "it's nice meeting you May".

"Same here, let me accompany you to your room since mine is up"May walked along June as she lead the way.

"Who's the guy that stopped by with you?" May asked, seems like it's been bothering her and the worst part is that she pretended not to know who I was.

"Oh, he's my partner in the parenting class" June replied innocently.

There was an awkward silence between both of them till they reached June's room, May waved her and stroll off to her room. May looks unconcern when it comes to real talk but deep down she has something that she didn't want to expose about herself.

"I guess it's time I give him some chance to speak" May walked into her room and clicked it closed.

............................

June offed her clothes and walked into the bathroom, it's been a long day for her and the cheer team practice was very strenuous. She switched on the music while she took her bath not very long she was out and this time in front of her mirror tending her skin.

"Ouch," she cried, " it's a big puncture" she kept whining over a little pimple on her left cheek, the way June keep herself is all about looking good all the time even a little scratch could make her reside from the public.

After spending her time in the mirror, she wore her night robes and picked up her phone seems she received new messages, scrolling up on her messages she saw mine which I sent earlier that day she smiled.

"Interesting guy" she laid down and texted back.

Well I was busy with my xenowerk game and this time am ready for the alien boss, I upgraded my character's assault making sure I have the best offence though at times even the best players do die at boss fight, being smart enough is the best way to defeat an alien boss.

" BOOYA!" I exclaimed, I just pulverised the almighty alien boss and that made me feel special at the moment my scoreboard went to the fifth-best player of xenowerk, The feeling was like heaven.

"I can't wait to show Jay this....." I was interrupted when my phone lit up, it looks like I received a message I picked up my phone and froze cause I just saw the last thing that I ever think I'll receive.

June

Goodnight Tom.

Weird, that was the only thing I could say.
