Falling in love with a geek was not part of the plan

Chapter 12 Mei's Pov

We looked at each other as Sean was gripping my wrist.

Finally for what seemed like forever we sat down and both awkwardly looked down at the table. "Sorry." He whispered "It's ok I've had weirder situations." I handed him back the book

"Why do you read so much aren't books just boring words on a piece of paper?" He shook is head "But books can be much more than that! There a escape from reality." I tilted my head "How so?"

He brushed his hand through his chocolate brown hair "Well in an adventure book you will be transported to a island where an artifact is and your job is to get it. How would you?" I though for a moment "couldn't you have walk right to it?"

He shook his head "No because it's guarded by traps that could kill you." My eyes widened "Then how do you get the item?"

"That's why you read to find out the answer. Look Mei books aren't just words on a page there so much more than that! Books can be anything you want! Romance, action, fantasy! The possibly are endless! You just have to give it a chance."

I sat there taking it all in when I felt my phone buzz. I pulled it out and saw I was late to meet my mom at the car! I looked back at Sean and smiled "I have to go. By the time of school tomorrow I want a list of books. you got that?"

He smirked "Yea I got it."

We both got up and left with a little bit of pink on each of are faces.

-Time skip! In car with mom-

Ok mom was mad that I was late and yes I got a lecture which was not fun. What was funny was for the longest time she didn't say anything to me.

"So who was your friend? And what did you do?" Oh gosh that is the question I have been dreading the most. "Sean. We just talked a bit." She raised an eye brow "A bit is 10 minutes not an hour plus more. And is Sean a boy or girl?"

I gulped um...... What was I going to say! "Sean's a boy." Dang it! It should have said girl! "Oh really do you like him?" "No." She parks the car in the drive way and looks at me "Then Why talk to him for so long? If a girl talks to a boy she doesn't like for that long it's sending some mixed signals."

"He's a friend and that's all." I opened the car do and walked into the house.

I didn't want to talk about him because even I don't know.
