Taking It In

What was up with that outfit? She never looked that girly before. I think as I walk to class.

Today went really slow, probably because I didn’t speak to Faith once. Leo would always pull her away before I got the chance.

I shut my locker for the last time and began to walk over to Faith’s locker to talk to her.

“Hey, I was wondering if you….” I say, but got cut off by Leo.

“Hey Faith,” Leo says, grabbing her hand, intertwining his fingers in her’s. The twinge came back. Oh how I wanted anything to punch him.

“Oh, hi Leo.” She says with a smile on her face. I can’t tell if it is real or fake.

“Do you want to come to my house tonight? We could watch a movie or something?” He asks.

“Um,” Faith started, she stole a quick glance at me then says, “sure, I guess. It couldn’t hurt.” What?!

“Cool, let’s go.” Leo says with a large somewhat mischievous smile on his face.

He pulls her away and they start walking down the hall and soon, out the door. I just stood there, taking it all in.
