Look Alive Sunshine
Chapter 5
After the small incident, and nobody noticing the three "emo" kids in a huddle in the back of our class, we walked out of math class, and bumped into Ray, who ditched class because he forgot we had homework the night before. "Hey guys! What did I miss?" Ray had a smile on his face but it dropped when he looked at my eye, since I hadn't bothered to put my sunglasses on. He opened his mouth to speak but Mikey nudged him and gave him an "I'll tell you later" look. I looked at Mikey and gave him a smile because I really did appreciate that gesture. Even though I've known them for a short time, I feel like I've known the guys forever. They just seem to understand me.
After a little while it was lunch, and we all sat down at our table. I sat down in between Mikey and Frank, and I saw them give each other dirty looks, and Ray burst out laughing. They both shot their heads towards him and glared at him, while I just gave him a confused look, and said, "I'm gonna go buy my lunch now.." while standing up. "I'll come with you" Ray said before Frank or Mikey had the chance to. I started walking and Ray stopped me when we were out of earshot from our table. "So Nat how are your boyfriends?" Ray asked me laughing. What? "..What..?" I slowly asked him. "You are aware that they both kind of have a thing for you right?" He said cautiously. "What!?" I said with surprise in my voice. "But i just moved here I haven't even known you guys for that long?" I questioned.
"Well I know that. But they don't. See, Mikes and Frankie are both very passionate. They meet a girl, and talk to her and get to know her like they have with you, they'll end up liking them, but they always end up fighting. It doesn't happen often where a nice girl like you shows up, so they're kind of jumping on the opportunity. They're both really good guys though, so don't lead them on?" He asked me pleadingly while picking up a small bag of chips to go along with his grilled cheese. "Unless you like one of them. Or both.." he continued while laughing.
"No I.. I won't but like.. I'm still trying to process that. I mean at my old school guys never really liked me. Especially not two attractive ones at the same time.." I said wide eyed and laughing
Ray laughed, but then turned serious, "But do you like one of them?" he asked.
"I don't know. There's this one guy but I know I can never ever be with him, and I have to get that through my head but I can't seem to. And I like both of them the same so I don't know what to do there either." I trailed off
"Who's the other guy!?" Ray asked excitedly. "Is it me??" He asked, and my face dropped. "Kidding. kidding. But seriously tell me who"
"You literally can't tell a single soul."
"I won't even tell my fish." He said laughing
"Ok I might sound like a complete and utter loser, but-DON'T LAUGH.- but Mr.Way the english teacher.." I said, and looked at my friend waiting for his response.
His eyes widened and he burst out laughing. He was laughing so hard people started to stare.
I hit his arm and told him to shut the fuck up.
"Yeah you better not tell the guys." He said still laughing his ass off.
"..Why?" I said slowly with a tone of suspicion in my voice
"No reason!!" Ray said laughing again.
I rolled my eyes at him, grabbed my lunch, and started back towards our table .
As soon as I sat down, Mikey and Frank were both trying to talk to me, and I struggled on where to focus my attention. Ray seemed amused the whole time, and when I felt a hand on my knee, I jumped and looked down to see Frank subtly rested his hand there while telling a funny story. I stared into his eyes, and his slowly trailed up my knee to meet mine. He gave me a soft smile that made my heart melt, and if I didn't have a thing for my english teacher, I probably would have fallen in love with him right then and there.
But of course, I don't, and I just smile back, while he leaves his hand there.
I look to my right to see Mikey look down, widen his eyes, get up fast, and says, "I'm going to class."
Since I had class with him next, I told him to wait up, and his face softened. Ray look like he just shit a brick because it was like they were fighting over me, but they didn't know that I knew what they think of me.
As I walked with Mikey, he kept teasing me and flirting, and I tried to keep it as friendly as possible, but he's just.. really attractive. And sweet.
Ok i need to see my english teacher before I end up liking all three. And I know I sound like desperate little bitch, but at my old school, literally nobody gave me the time of day.. it's just different now and I'm trying to adjust.
I walked into my english class to find Mr. Way sitting at his desk. Mikey had to run to the bathroom before class, so I walked in with both of my earbuds in, listening to "I miss you" by Blink-182. I've always had this problem where I need to get into my music, so I turn the volume up all the way. My old friends would tell me that one day I was going to go deaf, but I don't care. I block everything out. I had my music blasting, and it didn't surprise me when I saw a shadow take over the surface of my desk.
Thinking it was Mikey, I slowly looked up, but the pair of eyes that met mine weren't the eyes of my new friend. They were a beautiful hazelish not so much greenish color that belonged to the one and only Mr.Way. My heart skipped a beat as he looked down at me and gently smiled.
Slowly, I reached a hand up to my left ear, and I took out my earbud.
"Your music's pretty loud..Natalie..right?" he asked slowly "Yeah. Sorry about my music i didn't realize-" i started to explain myself but I was cut off by his smooth voice saying, "Don't worry about it.. I just would hate to see you go deaf.." he said laughing. "I know" I said with a stupid grin plastered on my face. As he began to walk away, he turned over his shoulder and said, "By the way, you have a great taste in music."
