Chapter 4
Kirito's Point of View
"You had the answer, you know!" A voice says behind me. i turn around startled to face Charlie, green eyes and all. He's giving me a serious look. You've gotta be kidding me. We are not having this conversation. I thought I made it clear that I don't speak in class. If Niagara can deal with it then so can he. Then again, the bluenette has been telling every teacher that I have to call on me. And he's in my class so that's also bad for me. But last time I checked Charlie was never the person to be determined on a matter like this.
"Yeah well, I just didn't wanna answer"
"Didn't wanna answer my ass. Is that your excuse for everytime you know something and stay quiet?" He asks, walking up to me. I think of running away but then people would look at me like i'm insane. Besides, I already had a race with Miami to get to last period. And I won, albeit out of breath. I'm not ready to do that again. So I stand still, waiting to get this over with. Besides, school's over by now. There's no class next. I'll just be going straight home to meet my annoying older sisters. Then maybe this is better.
"N-no, it isn't" I try to say but end up stuttering. I mentally slap myself. I shouldn't be doing this outside of class, much less around one of my closest friends. Charlie smiles slightly but that disappears as he takes my hand and pulls me towards him. Thankfully I managed to stop myself from falling on top of him. Barely.
"I don't believe you for a second" Charlie says, wrapping an arm around my waist. I shrug my shoulders before he starts walking with me by his side. Towards the schools doors I assume. I live nearby, like a block away. And our parents are really close, so it's not out of the ordinary for him to stay at my house or vice versa.
"Well you should!"
"Why don't you wanna answer then?" Charlie asks instead. My skin heats up when he does so. We're in front of my door and I was about to ring the bell but now i'm against it. First of all, the question caught me off guard. As stated before he usually isn't the person who is determined on how often I speak. Second of all, he refuses to remove his arm. I don't want Yale to see us like this! Even if we are together I don't need her teasing me. Before I can protest Charlie opens the door himself, still holding onto me, and pulls me inside.
"Hello Mrs. Delaware!" Charlie exclaims, walking further inside. My mom's on her computer doing..........something, but looks up at us with a huge smile as we walk in.
"Hi Charlie" She says before going back to doing whatever she was doing before. I give her an incredulous look as she mutters an "you too Kiri" with a smile. Sometimes I think she loves Charlie more than she loves me. Charlie gives me a smile as he pulls me into my room. Thankfully I don't see Yale anywhere, so she must still be at school. Once we're inside the room the brunette beside me finally decides to let go in order to throw our backpacks on my bed. He then grabs my arm again and pulls me on top of him on the bed itself and I pray to god that Janie cannot see this.
"You know, you still didn't answer my question", Charlie points out, smiling up at me. Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that. And I also have no real answer. I shrug my shoulders as he scoffs at me.
"Thought as much" Charlie says before he leans in and......
Why don't you fill in the blank?
