Save me 💞

Chapter 8

I walked into the big brick building again. My second day of school. I was still nervous. I'm still so unfamiliar with the school and the people. What if something happens? I thought. What if I embarrass myself? I shake the thoughts away. You got this.

When I walk into the school I see Clare and Stacy.
"Hey Alisa!" They both said waving. They said hi! I thought. Maybe they do like me.
"Hi guys." I say to them, still a little nervous.
"Hey, is it true that you got pushed down the stairs by Eric and you became unconscious?" Clare asks me.
"Oh yeah. It's true." I tell them.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Clare asks me.
"I still have a really bad headache, but I'm feeling a little better."
"That Eric guy is hot though." Stacys says with a smirk.
"Stacy! He literally nocked her unconscious!" Clare yells.
I laugh. "Well speaking of that he actually asked me out."
"What?!" They both say.
"That's a funny way to ask someone out. But that's great." Clare says.
"I'm so jealous of you. I wish I cute guy nocked me unconscious and asked me out." Stacy says.
"I guess it's pretty nice." I say laughing.
I'm happy. I feel like I'm starting to really make friends. Stacy, Clare, and I talk for a little bit longer and then we all part ways to go to class.

After a few hours of listening to boring lectures, taking notes, and working, it was finally Spanish. I was so excited. I would finally get to see Eric again. But I was also so nervous. What if he regrets asking me out? What if he realizes he doesn't like me?
I take deep breaths and walk into class. There he is. He looks just as cute as I remember. He looks up at me and we make eye contact. I have butterflies. I start to walk to my desk and he's still looking at me. Then after a while when it starts to be creepy he looks away and smiles awkwardly at his desk.
"Buenos Dias Chicos! Everyone please get seated!" The teacher told the class.
"Today we are going to working on a new project. You and a partner will be assigned a verb and you have to write it in all of its forms. This will be a poster. Please make sure this is neat and beautiful. Oh and don't forget this will be 10% of your grade."
"Ugh!" The class says.
"Come on!" A boy in my class yells.
"Settle down everyone. I will picking partners. And I don't want to hear complaints."
"Okay let's see..."
Then she points to everyone in the class and assigns them with a person. Then she points at me.
"Señorita Alisa, you can be with Senior Eric."
Oh my god. I'm with Eric. I thought. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to say? Oh my god he's walking towards me. Be cool.
"Hey Alisa." He says, smiling nervously.
"Hi Eric." I say. I also can't help but smile.
"I'm excited for tonight."
"Me too. What time should you pick me up?" I asked him, avoiding eye contact. I couldn't look at him I was so nervous.
"Maybe 7:00? Does that work? What's your address?"
"Sure. Um, here I'll write it down." I said pulling out a piece of paper. After writing down my address I look up at him and notice he's looking at my hair. "Um I think we should start working." I tell him.
"Oh, oh yeah. So what verb do we have?"
"I think we have Ser."
"Okay then let's work." He said grabbing a piece of paper.

Working with him was so much fun. After a little bit I got over my nerves and all I was doing was laughing. He made me so comfortable. There was something about him that was different then everyone else. I didn't feel scared.
"You did what?" I said cracking up.
"Yeah, when I was 7 went on strike because my parents wouldn't make the dinner I wanted. I literally stood outside for 4 hours until they would make me that dinner." Eric said laughing.
"Wow you would just not give up. But hey at least you have a lot of perseverance which is good." I said looking at him. He was so attractive. Looking at him close I noticed how pretty his eyes were. They were a dark brown.
"Okay let's work. First there's the yo form of ser..."
After some more time working, and talking, class was over.

"Bye Alisa. See you tonight." Eric said to me standing up.
"See you later Eric." I tell him with a smile.
