I Love to Hate You

After school, Will picks me up in his car. My brother had dropped me off at school today because his car broke down and he need to do some errands. So I guess this worked out pretty well. The Greek God can be my driver.

"So, ready to go to my house?" He asked when I got into his Camero. It was a low rider, something I'm definitely not used to. But it wasn't too bad.

"Sure. I just can't be home late, I need sleep. I have cheer practice tomorrow." I smile at him.

"You're a cheerleader now? Since when?!" He seemed so shocked. It was comical.

"Since today. I made the team last year at tryouts, but I hurt my ankle and had to quit. But Taylor broke her arm yesterday, so I'm taking her spot." Will seemed to grimace for a minute before congratulating me. Weird.

When we pull into Will's driveway, I'm surprised at how normal it looks. It's bigger than most houses, but nothing to show-offish. I liked it. It was nice and well-kept.

"Your house is nice." I remark.

"Physically yes. But what goes on amongst these walls? Not so much." He retorts, cutting the engine. "C'mon, no one is home right now." He says, opening the door and stepping out. I don't know how I feel about being alone in a house with Will. But it's too late to back out now. Shit.

Will's bedroom is like every teenage boys', besides the fact that it's clean. It has blue walls, hardwood floors, a desk, a bed, a closet and dressers. It's pretty nice for a boy. Will walks up to his stereo and turns on the iPod player connected to it. The first song that comes on? Sugar, We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy. An all-time favorite of mine.

"I love this song!" I yell over the music and start singing along.

"Drop a heart, break a name. We're always sleeping in and sleeping, for the wrong team." I sing. Will looks at me like I'm insane. "Stop being so tense William! Loosen up a bit." I smile and grab his hand, something I would have never imagined myself being able to do. Will seemed just as shocked.

"Do you know how to dance?" I ask, turning the music down some. I wasn't really looking to do anything with Will. But hell, this is high school, let's live it up some!

"Never really had a reason to learn." Will says, looking down at me. I smile right back up.

The song changes. It's funny how the shuffle button works on it, because Just the way you are by Bruno Mars comes on. Will looks at me and I start leading us in dancing. I start slow, because Will seems a little tense still. A little nervous.

We move back and forth to the music. It was really something. I mean, after a while, Will started leading us, instead of me. This gave me the opening to lay my head on his chest. I don't know where these action are coming from, but I don't ever want them to stop. Will seems just as into it as me, maybe he's even enjoying himself.

I look up at him, to see what his reaction is. He's looking at me. I smile a little at him, then lean my head back on his chest, listening to his heart.

It was completely magical. Even the Greek God has to have some feelings.
