The New Me

Chapter 24

"Morning" I greet Caleb who's eating a bowl of cereal

"Morning" he'd says with a mouth full of coco puffs

"Where's mom?" I ask

"She went to the grocery store she'll be back soon" he shrugs

"O okay"

"Do you want a bowl" he lifts up the box of cereal

"No thanks" I tell him

"You got to eat" he tells me

" I will but I'm not hungry now" he looks like he wants to say something

"So what are you doing today?" I ask changing the subject

"Nothing fun I have to go to the library and study for that test I have to retake" he sighs

"Sorry" I try not to laugh

"And of course out of the entire class the one person they assign to tutor me would be Kayla" he puts his head on the table

"You guys are going to kill each other" i can't help laugh

"Why why why" he repeats

"At least you guys can't scream at each other in a library" I chuckle

"I'm glad you find my pain amusing" he glares

"You'll live" I say as I leave the room

Caleb left to go study and mom had to go run some more errands, shay and Vanessa are at some family event.

So I decide to make the best out of it and have a movie marathon.

I go to the kitchen to make some popcorn when I hear the doorbell go off .

I Ignore it hoping who ever it is will go away but they just keep ringing it.

"What!" I say as I jerk open the door

"Well hello to you too sunshine" Josh's laughs

"O sorry umm" I laugh "Caleb's not here he's at the library studying"

"Wow he's actually studying" he chuckles

"Yeah and Kayla tutoring him" I giggle

"They are going to kill each other"

"I know"

We both stand there awkwardly.

"so are you going to let me in?" He raises a eyebrow

"Um yeah sorry" I say and wonder why he would want to come in if Caleb's not here

"So what are your plans for today?" He asks

"I was going to have a avengers movie marathon" I say I'm such a dork

"Can I join?" he smiles

"Sure"  I say nervously

"In your room?" He asks

"Yeah I'll be up in a minute" I tell him

I go into the kitchen to get the popcorn.

Why why why I needed to keep my distance from him and now we are going to be laying on the same bed.

I go to my room, Josh's is laying on top of my bed.

be cool Elena be cool .

He pats the bed,I lay down next to him,

"I put it the movie in already" he says I nod

I grab a handful of popcorn and stuff it in my mouth so I don't have to talk.

"So where's shay and Vanessa?" He asks

"Shay had a family event and Vanessa went with her" I tell him

"They seem nice"

"Yeah they are"

"I bet it's weird being back" he says

"At first but it's getting easier" I shrug

"I'm sorry Elena" he says suddenly looking at at me I know what he talking about

"Let's not talk about it okay" I say not looking at him

"Okay" he sighs

We've been watching movies for over 4 hours.

"Iron man is the best superhero Josh" I tell him

"No captain America is way better Elena" he smirks

"You are so wrong yes captain America is hotter but that's it" he roll his eyes

"Say captain America is better" he sits up and turn and looks at me

"Never" I smirk

"O yeah"

All of a sudden he starts tickling me.

"S-stop Josh" I giggle

"Say it" he laughs

"No" I laugh harder

I turn to get away from him when I fall straight to the floor Josh following me.

He falls right on me.

"Get your fat butt off of me" I say catching my breath

"I'm not fat" he laugh

His face is inches from mine,I see him look at my lips:

"Josh" I whisper

"Hey el-" Kayla says opening my bedroom door

Me and josh look at her .

"Omg I'm so sorry just go back to what you were doing" she says

I quickly push him off of me.

"Ow" he says

"He was just leaving" I say getting up

"Um okay yeah I had fun I'll see you at school" he say blushing, leaving quickly

"Well it looks like you were having a good time" she wiggles her eyebrows

"Don't want to talk about it nothing happened. How was tutoring?" Hoping we can change the subject I know my face is beet red

"Well we got kicked out of the library because I hit Caleb in the head with a math book but in my defense he kept throwing sunflowers seeds and other food in my hair, I almost got attack by birds leaving"
