Semua Bab Sixty Days With You.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

"How are you feeling today, son?" my mother asked, placing her hand on my forehead to check for a fever. But my skin was cool and calm, and a smile spread across her face. "I was really worried yesterday when you were rushed home by Doctor George." She said and I looked up at her."George?" I asked already beginning to have the wrong idea that Keith must have abandoned me since he wasn't a nice guy after all.I may have scared him off, and he may not have wanted to help me. George had probably seen me in my weakened state, and it was understandable that he'd be wary of getting involved. But it still stung to think that Keith might not care about me at all."Not only George." Mum paused. "Your friend came along as well..." She says, and I would have thought she was referring to Billy, but no... It wasn't; I watched her finally pronounce the name I had secretly longed to hear, and at once, I was glad I proved myself wrong, although I scolded my suspicious self for thinking otherwise of

I am in the hallway, playing with Jennabeth in her cathouse. I asked her, "How are you?" I can tell she enjoys my company, but I also notice a confused look on her face. It occurs to me that she may be asking if I'm okay since she was present when I fainted. So, I gently clarify and say, "I'm doing fine, in fact, I've already recovered." While I speak, I can feel the softness of her fur under my fingers as I caress her.I heard an approaching footsteps and I guessed it was my mum, I stood up after squatting for a while before meeting with her gaze."You're out here to check on her already." My mother said and I smiled."Wanted to Inform her I was doing fine already," I say looking down at Jenna's house, she was seated looking up at us.The door to her house was left unlocked, so with one push from her she would be out."I had to put her there because I know she might just crawl back to your room... You know how clingy she is with you." Mum said and I chuckled."I know right? I hope sh

"Crazy right?" Billy said chuckling alongside me as we marched out of the hall after the lecture ended."Very."As we stepped out of the class, I bumped into Keith whose eyes were just as I had seen while in the lecture room, calm but icy."Hey, man," Billy called but Keith didn't seem to spare him a look, as his gaze was on me."Excuse me," I said about taking a step but he wasn't moving out of my way, and I swallowed again. "Please... Excuse me." I kindly say."We need to talk." He finally spoke out."Billy I would go now, you should---""I'm talking to you." Keith interrupted and I took my eyes off Billy to him."Me? Why?" I raised a questioning look."We just need to talk..." He says his voice low."I'm sorry, but I'm busy..." Despite my curiosity, the memory of what had happened the day before kept me from giving in to my desire to hear what he had to say. My pride and hurt feelings outweighed my curiosity, and I kept up my cold demeanor."Matt---""Keith." Billy cut in as he too

The whistle was blown, and the match started with Keith's team playing the balls to themselves; I could easily recognize his team because of the different outfits they were putting on, and Billy's men lurched forward and began marking Keith's team.I sat under the sun in the bleachers as I watched the match. Each team played well, but I couldn't even stop myself from staring at Keith or wishing for him to win.I shouldn't be doing this especially when Billy was a friend of mine."Whoa!" I exclaimed after Billy kicked the ball to the net but the goalkeeper was lucky to have caught it.He glanced at my direction with a smile which I returned. "Best of luck," I say and he did a thumbs up to me before running back to his position.I looked around the field in search of Keith, then I saw him in one side of the field gazing at me.Neither of us looked away, and I could tell he had been watching me since the moment I exclaimed. Our eyes remained locked as if we were caught in a trance."Keit

"They seem closer to you... Thought you said they weren't a friend." Leah says on her way home in the taxi."They're just being nice." I eyed her, knowing what she was getting at, especially when I knew Keith was involved."Being nice... Keith isn't known for that, and he's gonna pick you up." Leah continued and I breathed out a sigh from her pestering."It's nothing, Leah. You should be happy he's finally being an extrovert..." Ruth answered."That's not me being extrovert." I objected."But Billy picked you up this morning, and tonight Keith's gonna do that?" Leah said as if it were a big deal. "Wow... I'm being jealous of you here..." She said and I rolled my eyes at her."What's there to be jealous of... They're just being friends with him, who wouldn't want to be a friend of a guy as cute and brilliant as Matthew?" Ruth said from the front seat of the taxi. "You could go with him if you want to." She chipped in."Really, can I Matt?" Leah asked at once shooting me a demanding loo
