Not Pretty Enough
“Obviously some force out there has decided that I’ve had my share of embarrassment for today.
“Hey!” I hear someone yell at me as I hurry out of the gym and towards the school buses. “Hey, Chessie, wait up!”
I spin around only to see Lloyd Layton himself sprinting across the playground to catch up with me. I don’t believe it. I start looking around, as if there is going to be some other Chessie nearby. I can’t believe that he would actually want to catch up with me.
“Hey, you walk fast for some...one who could barely stand up in the gym.” He slows down and walks beside me.
“Besides, it’s usually you following me across the yard, not the other way around.”
Oops. He’s not supposed to know about that.
“What do you want?” I ask huffily. I am aware that this is not the best way to speak to someone you like, but I’m so embarrassed and shocked right now that I’m lucky that sentence didn’t come out as a string of grunts.
He doesn’t seem to notice my tone of voice.MoreLess
