Chapter 12 - suspicions.

I drove over to her house to go pick her up, I didn't normally do this but I just had too, because I had this feeling she was avoiding me.

First of she is late for work this morning, and she didn't call me throughout the weekend which she normally does, you know to update me on my schedules.

I parked at the other side of her house, and waited for her to come out.

Awhile later she came out of her house, with her airpods in her ear, and a hoodie even if it was 80° outside, she walked towards their garage to take her bike.

Destiny I called out from my car, slowly rolling my window down.

She turned her head and looked at me.

Come here, I said.

She chained her bike and slowly walked to my car.

Good morning, she said looking at her shoes.

I looked at her for awhile, and sighed.

Get in.

We drove in silence, and I couldn't tell why she was so reserved this morning, what happened at home, she usually always had something to say.

Are you alright? I asked looking at her as she played with her scrunchie.

oh?, I am, Am fine, look am sorry for coming late, i didn't sle...

Hey it's okay, I said as I continued driving. after that the rest of the ride was in silence.

I packed my car out the school's yard. I came out and helped her out too.

Thanks she said trying to avoid eye contact with me.

I knew what was going on here. I tilt her head up so she could look in my eyes, I stared at her for awhile, then I leaned in to kiss her.

She gently declined using her hands to stop me from coming closer.

What? I asked her.

Erm, am sorry but we can't do that again. She replied.

why? we liked it first time, and the second I said putting my hands on my pockets.

It was a mistake, and am sorry about it, it's not going to happen again, I am going to focus on my job, and I don't think we should do that again, I erm, am inlove with someone else, and we are just friends, I think we should keep it that way.

All I could hear was a whole lot of excuses, I knew she was freaking out because we made out with each other, She left that day, and now she's acting really weird, making the air awkward.

Alright, I understand I said, but mind you we are still supposed to be in a "relationship" so you can't break up with me yet, I teased and she smiled.

Come-on I said holding her hand. She looked at me, What? we do this every time we walk in, I am not trying anything I defended.

She nodded. Oh, I forgot, I won't be coming over to work today, something came up so I won't be around till tomorrow she said looking at me.

Okay I simply said.

Of course I knew she wasn't going anywhere, and I also knew that NOTHING came up, she's definitely still feeling awkward about last weekend, but I am just gonna let it go.

We had our classes and we sat together, she kept sneaking out to make some calls.

We sat together with Marcus at the cafeteria, who finally came to school, and he kept talking about his time in jail, he was only there for half a week, he left out the part where he was grounded.

And then I pinned the huge guy to floor, He was huge, definably 6,4 and i fed him my socks, then I said, How do you like that muchacho, he bragged.

I sighed out loud, because he was obviously embellishing, he was trying to impress destiny or something, too bad for him, she was too smart to fall for such nonsense.

Oh my God, you are so brave, she said looking so focused on what he was saying, I couldn't take it anymore.

There's no way that happened to you I chipped in, They both glared at me. what?.

I am sorry, where you in jail with me?. Marcus asked.

Bro, you weren't even in jail jail you were just detained.

I added.

They both ignored me and continued talking.

Great.

Meanwhile, Mim kept looking at me, and I tried looking away I hope she wasn't thinking of coming over, because I could read her like a book I dated her for a year and half.

She slowly waved at me, and I looked at her for awhile, Destiny was sitting right besides me, so I pulled her chair closer with my hand, she was startled and almost yelped.

What are you doing? She asked.

I looked at her, mim is watching. I whispered in her ear, and I made it look like I was teasing her with my words.

How's that my problem, she replied.

Your supposed to be my girlfriend, don't be clueless, would you let someone else flirt with your man if this was real I asked her.

FINE!!, what do you want me to do?. She grumbled.

Act like your inlove with me. I said holding her face with my hand, looking with the side of my eye, if Mim was watching, and she was.

Giggle. I said.

She gave a small but audible giggle like I just said something funny, and she looked at me with her big brown eyes.

For a moment I forgot we were acting and I actually leaned in to kiss her, then remembered what she said and moved away.

I kissed her forehead instead, this held significance to Mim because I used to kiss her forehead all the time.

She grunt, and hit her table, I looked over and saw her angrily picked her bag and left the hall with her crew.

That reaction made me smile, and it was prove that my plan was coming together.

Tsks destiny sighed and hit me, give me an heads up next time she grumbled.

Marcus kept looking at me funny and I know that he wouldn't keep his bigmouth shut for long.

Owww I felt Alot of tension just now, he said motioning at the two of us, I ignored him.

The end of school came, and destiny refused a free ride home From me, she insisted on taking the bus, I mean why would'nt she let me drive her home? I asked myself, I honestly had this feeling she wasn't being sincere about where she was going so I decided to follow her.
