| Elijah wood. The goofy idiot I used to torture in 4th grade! I couldnt belive my own eyes. What did that geek have to do here? Well, we couldnt refuse him to sit with us, so he took a seat right next to me. I was so embarrised. I had treated him like shit for several years, and now he was sitting next to me, as if we were friends. I tried to act normal. But belive me, I did`nt sucsee. I cant even remember how many times I skipped my waterglass, or how many times I almost fell of my chair. Cause Elijah said these stupid and shoking things, when I least expected them. He had surently changed since 4th grade, there was no doubt, but I wasn`t sure if I liked the new elijah either.. I wasn`t sure what I felt. But, there was something about him that was kinda attracting too. I went out to the ladiesroom with Erin. I`m afraid we staied there a bit to long, cause when we came back the boys weren`t there. "where on earth did they go?" I looked at Erin. "I have no idea.." The women behind us, dotted my back and said "those young men told me to give you this note." She looked down at her napckin and read out loud with a slow and dark voice. "Did you girls drown in the toilet? It got boring, so we went over to Daryll`s house. If you ever get this note, please follow us!" "Oh, thanx!" I said and smiled to the crancky old lady. We walked out the door, and felt the heath from the hot summernight in our face. We didn`t say much as we walked towards Daryll`s house. But all of a sudden, Erin asked me "Christi... What do you think about Elijah?" I smiled to my self, and I knew what I was thinking. But I didn`t tell her that I actually liked him. First of all, because I wasn`t quite sure HOW much I liked him, second of all because I was ashamed. I know I`m not brave, but I cant help it. I am that kind of person that dont tell people how I feel. "Nothing.." I said. She looked at me, with a look in her eyes saying "sure about that?" "I mean it! He`s still a goofy idiot, Erin!" I lied. "okey," she said, with a tone telling that she didn`t belive me. " Well, what do you feel about him then?" I asked. "Nothing. Why would I feel anything?" "Well, why would I feel something for him? you dont have any reason to belive that... Do you?" She laughed. "I dont know.. You just turned differnet when he came. You acted like you were afraid to say or do something stupid in front of him." "WHAT? I did not!!" "You did too! You seemed really nervous Christi, and god, you spilled out your water at least 10 times!" I laughed. "Give me a break.. why would I be nervous?" "Well, I`m the one asking you..." She looked at me, but I inteded not to say anything. I wanted to lay of the subject, the whole thing irritated me. We stopped outside Darylls door, and looked at the big red door. Noone deared to ring the bell. But, we didn`t have to either, cause Elijah suddenly appeared in the window above us. KEEP ON READING BACK INDEX HOME |
