Chapter 12
“Ready?” Michael asked from her doorstep in the morning on Wednesday.
“Yup.” Sydney slung her bag over her shoulder and followed him down the steps.
“I had a good time yesterday.” Michael complimented.
“Me too.” Sydney picked a twig from a street tree and nervously picked at it. “You should come over again… I mean, like another time. To do homework.” She stammered, wondering why she was always the one to make the first move. Maybe she just didn’t let him talk. She shut up and continued walking, looking at the ground and twirling the branch.
“So, um.” Michael tried to start a light conversation. “What does your dad do?” She assumed he meant for a living.
“I could tell you, but them I’d have to kill you.” She said mischievously, winking at him. She couldn’t very well tell him her father worked for the CIA, because he didn’t even know that she knew. One of the many things you learn staying up late reading, then getting a quick midnight snack and overhearing something meant to be secret. “He sells airplane parts.” She answered.
“Sounds… interesting?” Michael winced. It didn’t sound like a fun job.
“Whatever.” Sydney hated lying to Michael, but she shouldn’t really spread it around. It might be some ‘breech of security’ or something.
“And your mom?” He asked, continuing the conversation. He didn’t know he hit a soft spot, but she didn’t show weakness.
“She’s dead.” She said coldly, trying to ignore his shocked stare.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know.” He looked genuinely sorry, but she just put up her walls, shutting out the bad thoughts. She learned long ago not to cry over things she couldn’t change.
“No, it’s ok. Whatever, I don’t really care.” She fidgeted with the leaf, trying to keep from looking up at him. A loud rumble was heard and they both watched as a big truck with a “Line Painting” sign on top of it drove by down their street. Sydney was thankful for the distraction. Maybe Michael would drop the subject. The more she thought about the truck, the more she wanted to laugh.
“What?” Michael asked. Maybe she said that out loud.
“It’s just, what if they wrote queue instead of line. Like, you wait in line, you wait in a queue… It’s like the same thing; ‘Queue Painting’. That’d be so funny!” She started laughing lightly, knowing it was a weird thing to think.
“Nobody would get it.” He teased, though she could see his smile.
“I would.” She grinned.
He patted her shoulder and she tried to ignore the warmth she felt. “You’re just special.”
“Like ‘Don’t Eat The Paste’ special?” She joked, thankful he had dropped the subject of her mother. She didn’t want his pity.
“Something like that.” He laughed. As they reached the school grounds, Michael grabbed her arm and held her back. “One more thing.” He suddenly looked nervous.
“Yeah?” Sydney pressed. What was the problem? Was he gonna tell her to wait for a minute, then walk in? Was he ashamed of her? Or was he gonna tell her he didn’t want to be her friend? Or was he going to kiss her? She was confused as to why he was acting so strangely.
“Um, you know, the play is this weekend and I was kinda wondering if you wanted to go? With me.” He moved his eyes from the ground and met her own. Did he seriously just ask her out? Or was she dreaming. She pinched her arm while he shifted his feet.
“Oh my God, I’m not dreaming.” She muttered, a grin spreading across her face.
“Is that a yes?” Michael asked.
“Most definitely.”
TBC>>> happy now?
