Day 7- Who I Like

               Pretty much every girl in my school had or has a crush on Lisa Manoban. I mean, I guess I could understand why they would, though. She was one of the only girls in this school that wasn’t a complete jerk, and to top it all off with a cherry and rainbow sprinkles, she was fucking good looking.

               I swear, I hear at least one girl swooning over about how gorgeous her hazel eyes are every single day.

               But, despite the fact that Lisa had girls falling at her feet every day, she didn’t seem to take interest in any of them. Rumors are, she’s never had a serious girlfriend before.

               That’s why I found it quite surprising when I found a gorgeous red head pressed against her in the hallways the next school day.

               I couldn’t understand what they were saying from the distance where I was standing, but she was giggling at something she said. Even a blind man could tell that the two of them were flirting.

               “That’s not fair!” a girl that was a few lockers down hissed. “I’ve been trying to get Lisa to talk to me for the past year.”

               “She’s so lucky.” One jealous girl grumbled under her breath.

               I couldn’t help but wonder if I was one of the lucky ones, considering the fact that Lisa wants to save my laugh. I laughed quietly, shaking my head as I closed the door to my locker.

               Much to my dismay, I was forced to walk past Lisa and the red head to get to my first period class. Right when I took a step ahead of the two of them, Lisa pulled away from the red head. “Jennie!” she called out, making me stop in my tracks.

               I turned back slowly, giving her a weak smile. The red head that she was with was giving me dirty glares, as she rolled her eyes. “Lisa, didn’t you promise you’d walk me to class today?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

               Lisa blushed, turning towards me. “Can I postpone that to tomorrow, Niki?”

               Niki clenched her jaw, smacking her pink bubblegum obnoxiously. “Fine.” She hissed, strutting away in her too short shorts.

               “Did you just blow of Niki Zefanya for me?” I asked jokingly.

               Lisa smiled, staring into my eyes. “Yes.”

               My cheeks became warm, as I gulped. I’ve never felt this way before. Why was I getting this kind of reaction around Lisa? “Oh.” I quickly recomposed myself, as I cleared my throat. “I would like to give your girlfriend a nice punch in the face, though. Did you see the way she was throwing daggers with her eyes at me?”

               Lisa gave me a lopsided smile, running a hand through her messy blonde hair. “She’s not my girlfriend.”

               I snorted. “Right, so you guys are just acquaintances who press yourselves against each other.”

               “She came onto me.” Lisa shrugged. “I was just being nice.”

               “You could’ve pushed her away.” I muttered, clutching onto my books tightly. Why did I sound so jealous? I mean, it wasn’t like Lisa was mine or anything. “Just forget it.”

               Lisa stared at me curiously, before a small blush crept up her neck. “I like someone else, anyways.”

               My head snapped towards her, as I raised an eyebrow. “Who?”

               Lisa gave me a smirk, flicking my nose with the tips of her fingers. “Someone.”

               I crossed my arms, as Lisa began to walk away from me, down the hall. I chased after her, putting a hand on her shoulder to turn her around. “Lisa, tell me.”

               Lisa grinned, surprising me by picking her hand up, and brushing a strand of my dark locks behind my ears. My eyes widened, as Lisa's hazel eyes glistened into mine. “Stick around, and I’ll tell you who I like, soon.”
