•Lunch•

I walked with Emily to our seat where we avoid everyone else. I saw Nash with a group of boys who seemed nice. Then I saw Bambi and she rolled her eyes at me and walked my way. Emily got up and pushed Bambi back hard.
"Touch my best friend and I'll break your fucking jaw" Emily was always over protective of me because she and my mom thinks I don't care about myself. I'm perfectly fine. I'm normal. I don't have a disorder. I'm good. I was looking around and I locked eyes with Hayes but he looked down then away. Excuse you. I looked down and took a pop tart out. "Emily you didn't have to help me" she just looked at me and away "Shayla I love you if a bitch steps up to you I'm gonna knock her out" and I said "I know because you're freaking crazy!!!" Which caused everyone to look our way. I put my head down on the table but then Emily tapped me hard and whispered/yelled "your boyfriends coming!" I just shrugged and kept my head down. But secretly I was smiling.

"Hi Shayla..." I heard his deep voice say.

"Hi Hayes"

"Umm..wanna hang out this weekend. Like go out somewhere. But only if you want to. It'd be nice. It's not a date. Or um unless you say so. But I mean it'd be co-"

"You talk a lot."

"Soo is that a yes?"

"Yeah she'll text you later" Emily said dismissively. I looked at her and let her know I've never hung out with a boy except my brother and that's barely. Thanks a lot Emily...



•At home•

I got home and did my homework which took forever. I took my school clothes off and put on leggings and an oversized shirt my dad had before he passed away. I texted hayes telling him we could go into town and hang out there and we agreed that 3:00 Saturday would work for us both. I told my mom when she got home and she was happy. Aren't moms supposed to be protective when it comes to boys. It doesn't matter but still. I hope this week goes by fast. I can't get the image of his eyes out of my head and Its starting to get weird.
