That same দিন - 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 আপনি must be really into that book," My friend Tom ব্যক্ত to me as he sat down across from me.
Maybe not. I put the book down a bit "Oh yeah it's great. নমস্কার do আপনি 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 আপনি think she's cute?" I asked
Tom got a weird look on his face "Dude that's my sister Athena. Do আপনি like her? I can hook আপনি up with her," he ব্যক্ত 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 আপনি like her?" he asked
I sighed "It's complicated. আপনি wouldn't understand," I ব্যক্ত slumping down
Tom nodded "Ah," he ব্যক্ত He knew when I ব্যক্ত that he should just back off
The long low ঘণ্টা 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 আপনি can spy on Athena?" he asked
I shoved him "No! I have a science project and I figured আপনি 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 পরবর্তি 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 সেকেন্ড of all আপনি will never ever marry my sister," he said
Jason smiled "You want to bet on that? আপনি 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? আপনি 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 আপনি are going to marry her as well. I bet আপনি all 1000 dollars that আপনি and Athena will have a son," I said
Jason widened his eyes "Wow! I like আপনি kid! আপনি are cool! Wait are আপনি being sarcastic?" he asked
Before I got the chance to answer him the late ঘণ্টা rang and we all sprinted towards our classes.
As I entered the classroom everybody looked at me. Including my strict teacher. "Well glad আপনি could যোগদান us Mr. Maloney. I suppose আপনি 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.
