The Monster, Laura España, Valentina Rodriguez [reading comprehension books TXT] 📗

Razel shrieked with her mouth shut and had to sit on the steps. This was too much for her to handle. Me:He's always liked me, I just never saw the signs. Justin:You know what, that's okay. He smiled. He had a really ugly smile before. His teeth were kind of seperated and out of place. Braces can do wonders. Justin:How about after school, me you AND Leo go and get a slice of pizza? Razel lifted her hand. Justin:Yes? Razel:Can I come? I don't want you to be dateless. Justin:Its not a date- Me:Just let her go. She loves you. He smiled again. Justin:Yes sweetheart, you can be my date. Razl shrieked again and ran inside. Me:I don't know why she is obessed with you. Justin:She likes my stuff. Me:That sounded wrong. Justin:It did. We laughed and for the first time, I realized I wasn't angry with him, or trying to avoid him. I was enjoying his company. Justin:So after school, get Leo and Razel and meet me at Gino's? Me:Sounds like a plan. He gave me a hug and I went inside. The whole say was dreadfully slow, hearig Razel go on and on and ON, about 'bieberfacts' or whatever. After school, Leo was waiting for me outside the school, leaning on a bus. Me:Oh, your cool. Leo:Im a G baby. I laughed and he gave me a quick kiss. I looked at my feet. Leo:Am I not supposed to do that? Me:Im just not used to it is all. I saw Razl running down the street. Me:RAZEL! HERE, NOW! She came back with a pouty lip. Razel:I want to get there alreadyyyyyy! Leo:What? Me:Where going to get a slice of pizza at Gino's, you in? Leo:YES! Im starving. We walked all the way to downtown, hearing about Leo's day, and when we got there, Leo suddenly stopped talking. I looked in the direction he was looking at and saw Justin on his phone, jabbering away Razel ran over to Justin and gave him a hug and sat next to him. Justin raised his eyebrows at me and smiled. I went over and gave him a hug and sat down. Me:C'mon Leo. He was leaning against the door frame. Leo:Im not sitting with that! Me:Leo! I scolded. Justin:Wait, I don't get it. He whispered to Razel. Razel:He called you a thing. Justin:HEY! Me:Leo, look, I forgave him. I put my hand on his. Me:You can too. Leo looked at me and I gave him a pleading look. Leo:Ill get the pizza's. What do you want? He said nodding at Justin. Justin:Plain. Leo went to the line and I turned to Justin. Justin:He doesn't like me much. Me:He'll get over it. Justin:So you really forgave me? Me:No, I just want him to sit down. Razel:Omi, thats rude! Me:What? I looked at Leo and back at Justin and he was just looking at his lap. Razel mouthed 'Say sorry!' and I sighed. Me:Justin,I didn't mean it like that, its just...im not all that comfortable around you yet. Justin:Yeah, sure. Before I opened my mouth to speak, I felt Leo's warm touch. Leo:Pinnaple for Razel, Peperoni for me and Kitty, and plain for Justin. We started to eat and talked and laughed, but Justin was quiet. Razel:What's wrong Justin? Justin:Nothing. Leo looked at me and took a bite of his pizza. Me:Its something, what happened? Justin:I just..I thought you really forgave me. I looked at Leo and he shrugged his shoulders. Razel rested her head on his shoulder and he smiled. I kicked his foot lightly. Me:Hey. He looked up and I smiled. Me:Your forgiven. It felt like the right thing to. He smiled and looked over at Razel. She was in her own little world, smiling with her head on his shoulder. Leo pulled out his phone and took a picture. Me:Razel. Razel:You have Leo, just let me enjoy this. Justin:You sure you wouldn't like a kiss instead? She jumped up and puckered her lips and we all laughed. Her cheeks turned bright red and Justin put his arm around her. Justin:You are too cute. I bit the crust of mine and Leo passed me his slice. Leo:Im not hungry anymore. Me:Leooo- Leo:If you eat it, you won't have to owe me those 3 bucks. Me:THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO! Leo:So? I groaned and ate the rest of his slice. Razel:Omi, im really bad at giving presents, so can you PLEASE tell me what you want for your birthday? Me:You don't have to get me anything. Justin:When your birthday? Leo:July 6th. Justin:Thats a week from now. Me:Yeah, but seriously, I don't want anything. Leo did a fake cough and said 'Party'. I nudged him and he smiled. Justin:Why can't you have a party? Me:My parents can't afford it. Justin:Sorry. Me:Its okay. Seriously you guys, don't sweat it. I have like 80 birthdays left. We finished talking and all went home. Me and Justin talked more, even though it anoyed Leo. School ended and we all went to the beach to celebrate. On my birthday, Leo woke me up to pancakes with a candle inside, millions of kisses, and a white and pink dimond Hello Kitty necklace. Leo left my house around 5, and at 7 Justin came over in a rush. Justin:C'mon, I want to show you something I put on my sandals and he grabbed my wrist and helped me in his Range Rover. Me:Where are we going? Justin:To a store. We drove until we got downtown. We entered this dress store, which is usually closed at this time. Justin:Pick any dress, no matter the price and I'll pay for it. Me:Nonono, Im going home. I started to walk out of the store and Justin grabbed my wrist and pulled me back in. Justin:Please. I looked around and saw hundreds of dresses. Me:How in the world am I supposed to find the right one? Justin:Take your time. I went through the racks until I saw a really nice dress. It was a light pink, with a cute sinch belt, and spaghetti straps. I went to the dressing room and tried it on my attention went to my leg. That ugly scar. I looked over at Justin. Me:I don't like this. Justin:Come out, I want to see. I came out, the dress reaching my upper thigh. Justin:Your look gorgeous, what's the problem? Me:My leg. He looked at it then turned away for a second. It had gotten beyond akward. Justin:You still look beautiful regardless. And nobody will be looking at your leg, they will be looking at your dress and your beautiful face! I blushed. Justin:Heels or flatts? Me:Umm, flats? Justin went to the clerk and asked for some silver flatts size 5. How did he know my shoe size. He came back with the perfect flatts, they matched my dress perfectly. He put them on my feet and stood up straight, obeserving me. Justin:You look amazing. Me:Do you think Leo will like it? Justin:Umm, yeah. He went to the desk and paid, but told me to keep the outfit on. We got in his Range Rover again and pulled up at City Hall. Me:What are we doing here? Justin:Its really cool, I know you'll like it when you see it. He helped me down and grabbed my wrist and rushed me up the stairs. This place is deserted, what can possibly be so cool? We got in the elevator and went to the 3 floor. We got out and there these huge curtains hung up. Me:Justin, its dead silent in here. Justin:Its behind the curtains, I can't believe I found this. I walked towards the curtain slowly and when I opened it, it was pitch black. ??:HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAOMI!! All the lights went on and I saw a crowd of people, some I know, some I didn't know. I saw Leo infront, smiling as big as Startford. He ran to hug me and kissed my cheek. Leo:Happy Birthday baby. Me:Thankyou. I turned to Justin and he rubbed my back. Music started to play and some danced, other congratulated me. It was a truly big party. There was a room in the back full of presents for me. The DJ was playing really good music and Razel came up to me. Razel:You look gorgeous! And I love the necklace! Me:Thankyou. Razel:I think its fair I should tell you that I helped plan all of this. I looked around at the rainbow ballons and the rainbow streamers. Me:That's why Justin knew my shoe size. We laughed and she me a hug. Leo grabbed my arm and I turned to him. Leo:Wanna dance? Me:Okay. He pulled me into the dance floor and the music got really loud. But I didn't care. We danced for about half the song when Justin came over. JustinDo you like the party? I couldn't hear a word he was saying. Me:WHAT? Justin:DO YOU LIKE THE PARTY? I still couldn't hear him. Me:HUH? He smiled and looked at Leo and put up his index finger, meaning 'one second please'. He grabbed my hand and took me to the balcony and shut the door. Justin:I saiiiiid, do you like the party? Me:Yes, oh thankyou Justin, so so soo much. Justin chuckled. Justin:Its just, I felt like last week at the pizzeria, you just said it to make me feel better. Me:I didn't. Justin:Yeah, but... His voice trailed off and we just looked at the city. I didn't even noticed he inched closer to me. I looked up and we were inches apart. Justin:Do you forgive me now? He inched closer so did I. His lips met mine and I didn't know what to do. I mean, I had gotten to be an expert practicing with Leo, but hints 'Leo'. But for some odd reason, I didn't him to stop. His hands met my waist and I arched my body closer to his. His toungue found his way in my mouth and before I knew it, I was clung to him and we were in a hot makeout session. I didn't want him to stop kissing me, it just felt so right. He pulled away. Justin:I can't breathe. I bit my lip and he smiled. Justin:Are you turned on? He whispered in my ear. Me:No, I just...I didn't want you to stop. He smiled and let go. Justin:You are totally turned on. I blushed and he pecked my lips. Justin:Umm, don't tell Leo. Then it hit me. My poor, poor Leo, waiting for me and I was here making out with Justin. Me:Okay. Justin:Im about to give you my birthday present, come on. I fixed myself and Justin brought me inside. He got on the stage and told the DJ to stop playing. He grabbed a microphone. Justin:Hey everybody. I hope your all having fun. Umm,- He let out a cute chuckle. Justin:My birthday present for Naomi is a song I wrote for her. I really hope she likes it He pulled out a stool and grabbed his guitar. I felt Leo put his arms around me. Leo:Your enjoying the party? Me:Yes, Im having lots of fun. I felt a little nervous, I wasn't sure I should tell him about what happened. I was still confused on why I didn't want to stop kissing Justin. His voice erupted my thoughts. Justin:Now Romeo and Juliet, bet they never felt the way we felt, Bonnie and Clide never had to hide like we do, we do... He kept singing and everyone clapped along. When he finished, he pulled me on stage and hugged me. Justin:Did you like it? Me:YES! I loved it. The music went on again and we allstarted dancing. I took pictured with almost everyone, and they brought out this huge cake, every layer was a different color. Everyone got a piece and people started to leave. I hugged everyone and by the end of the night, I had 170 new numbers on my phone. Leo:I have to go home, do
