Jesse kept on staring at me. It was kind of awkward because I had no idea why or what he was thinking about. Knowing jocks, I probably didn’t want to know. I also didn’t understand why every time I caught him staring at me I turned away and blushed. He was the one who was staring, shouldn’t he be embarrassed?
It was extremely frustrating. I hoped once the movie started he’d be distracted and stop staring.
When we walked into the theater, however, I was suddenly blisteringly aware that Jake and Anima were holding hands and giggling, obviously a couple, and that naturally, it looked like Jesse and I must be too. This made me even more uncomfortable, and I quickly scanned the crowd, checking for familiar faces. No one, thank goodness.
We sat down, Anima and Jake in deep, animated conversation.
Jesse was still looking at me with an unfathomable expression. I considered hissing ‘what?’ in an annoyed tone, but instead, I looked away, blushing again.
What was wrong with me?
