That same ngày - Eric's perspective

Oh Jeez...Why did she have to point me out to her friends? I wasn't interesting. They know that I had been watching her for months.
To stop meeting her gaze and being embarrassed I hid myself in a book hoping that I would stop being embarrassed.
"Hey Eric bạn must be really into that book," My friend Tom đã đưa ý kiến to me as he sat down across from me.
Maybe not. I put the book down a bit "Oh yeah it's great. xin chào do bạn have girls staring at you?" I asked him
His face lit up and he smirked "Oh yeah it's great. I get asked out all the time," he said
I frowned "Nobody ever did right?" I asked
He frowned "No. So what girl is staring at you. Is she cute?" he asked
I nodded over to Athena "Her. She just noticed me today. Do bạn think she's cute?" I asked
Tom got a weird look on his face "Dude that's my sister Athena. Do bạn like her? I can hook bạn up with her," he đã đưa ý kiến grinning and starting to stand up
I pulled him back down "No no. Don't do that. I kind of don't but I think she likes me," I said
He glared "Why don't bạn like her?" he asked
I sighed "It's complicated. bạn wouldn't understand," I đã đưa ý kiến slumping down
Tom nodded "Ah," he đã đưa ý kiến He knew when I đã đưa ý kiến that he should just back off
The long low chuông, bell rang and everybody filed out of the cafeteria. Tom and I were last. Tom didn't really care about school. He figured that he would go to community college and get a job as a waiter at famous restuarants.
"Hey can I come over to your house after school?" I asked
He smirked "Why so bạn can spy on Athena?" he asked
I shoved him "No! I have a science project and I figured bạn would help me out," I lied
He nodded "Oh okay. Just get in the car with Athena and I. Our grandma takes us home,"
As we were walking out of the cafeteria a boy started walking tiếp theo to Tom "Hey Tom I just bet your sister 200 hundred bucks that I would marry her," he gloated
Tom winced "Jason first of all go away một giây of all bạn will never ever marry my sister," he said
Jason smiled "You want to bet on that? bạn owe me 100 hundred bucks if I marry her," he said
Tom held out his hand "Deal weirdo," he said. They shook hands
Jason turned to me "What about you? bạn want to partake in this bet?" he asked
I smirked. Ah this boy. Athena in the future talked a lot about him. I knew who he was "Sure. I think bạn are going to marry her as well. I bet bạn all 1000 dollars that bạn and Athena will have a son," I said
Jason widened his eyes "Wow! I like bạn kid! bạn are cool! Wait are bạn being sarcastic?" he asked
Before I got the chance to answer him the late chuông, bell rang and we all sprinted towards our classes.
As I entered the classroom everybody looked at me. Including my strict teacher. "Well glad bạn could tham gia us Mr. Maloney. I suppose bạn can't tell us what a hot spot is?" he said
The whole class hadn't learned that yet but I have. I told him and he looked surprised. I sat down and he left me alone the whole period. Good thing thing too. I needed time to think.
