When You Least Expect It/inkspired_writer
I was just about to come to a conclusion when I heard the front door bang shut. I quickly changed into my regular clothes at lightning speed. I loved my little sister, but let's face it. If she knew then my mom would find out in about two seconds flat. I heard Ola come up the stairs so I stepped out to meet her. The expression on her face made my grin melt away."What's wrong?" I stooped low to see her eyes but she avoided my gaze.

When You Least Expect It/inkspired_writer
I stood still as I listened to the words that caught my attention. I clenched my fists at my sides as I held in the anger that grew within me. It was one thing to hear rumours about how your friend was dissed or insulted and another thing entirely to listen to it happen in your presence. "Why on earth would I remain friends with a poor, broke girl like you. I wouldn't want any embarrassment at my party, so I suggest you forget about attending. You are going to bring nothing but shame to yourself anyway if you bother coming."

It was about 10 minutes till my shift at Donny’s café was over and despite how exhausted I felt, I was in a good mood. Even the guys at work noticed."Did you win the lottery or something because I don't see what's making you so happy today?" Ricky raised a suspicious brow at me. I'd gotten

When You Least Expect It/inkspired_writer
It was two weeks since my date with Cindy and so far, things were going well. I had also finally gotten over my inability to form coherent sentences around her. She was very outgoing and sometimes made me do silly things just to see her laugh. I was so lost in thought that I was unaware that a small smile had formed across my lips."Since when did the diagram of a dissected guinea pig have the same effect as watching a romantic comedy?" I heard Laura ask.

Chapter Fourteen
When You Least Expect It/inkspired_writer
On Friday afternoon after school, I went to the hospital to see my mom. Before heading out, I packed a portion of the lasagna that our neighbour, Mrs Johnson, had sent to us the previous evening. After seeing that my mom would be in the hospital for a while, she took it upon herself to send us a meal every couple of days to keep us stocked up. Neighbours like her were truly a blessing. When I got there, I waited a while in the lobby to check my phone. I'd asked Cindy to call when she got there so that I could introduce her to my mom, but it seemed like she was running late again.

Next, was the Teddy Bear store which Cindy went crazy in and made me this huge, pink monstrosity of a teddy bear. I decided that I'd give it to Ola first chance I got. I couldn't be caught dead with this thing!Afterwards, we headed out for a bite when it got dark, so I thought it wiser to go home rather than sit at a park late at night and my house was closer. I noticed that her phone had been buzzing for most of the day but she ignored it most of the time so I brushed it off too.

Her eyes opened slowly and she stared at me in disbelief before they flared up in anger. She withdrew her leg and got up in a huff of irritation."I just don't understand you, Michael! Are you even a normal straight male at all? Do you have any idea how many-"She broke off suddenly as if it was something she wasn't supposed to say."How many what, Cindy?"

Chapter Nineteen
When You Least Expect It/inkspired_writer
We went back into the house and I locked the front door this time. I was sure Ola had her key when she returned the next morning. I flinched when Cindy turned around sharply at the sound."It’s for security reasons," I assured her. I led her upstairs to the guest bedroom. Thankfully, it wasn't in a terrible state because Ola usually invited Mara and Alice Johnson over for sleepovers. So, no pile of dirt buried in there from abandonment. I pointed out the bathroom for her and where the extra duvets were kept.
