Greenelan~The Journey

~Emma~

A/N: Btw the italics mean they are thinking...like in the back of their head...enjoy:)

I unlock the door to my house as my phone buzzes in my pocket. I open the door and set my keys down. I pull out my phone and read what popped up.

Alyssa: Hey Emma this is Alyssa

I quickly save her number and name into my phone and respond.

Me: hey Alyssa:)

I go to the kitchen and open the cabinet. I pull out a box of Kraft Mac n Cheese when my phone buzzes again.

Alyssa: I just wanted to say thank you for keeping me company at the picnic. Shelby and Kaylee can be boring sometimes, so it was nice to have a change of scenery.

Me: im glad i could be of service lol

I fill a pot up with water and put it on the stove to boil. She seems so....put together. I mean she's texting in capital letters. We are two different people. Her eyes are so pretty especially when the sun hits them. They light up her entire face. They're like big pools of chocolate. Her hair is gorgeous, long, and dark. Her skin looks radiant when the sun hits it. She is the definition of beautiful.

Alyssa: I have to go to bed now, but it was great meeting you. See you at school tomorrow?

Me: yeah:)

Alyssa: Good Night

Me: good night

I add the noodles to the boiling water and sit down to watch Netflix. Honestly, I kind of like the silence when my parents are gone. I open up my Netflix profile and click on "Glee". I'm on the episode where Santana and Brittany are finally out in the open with their relationship. I wish that were me. They're so free and happy and no one is judging them. Ugh frick, you Edgewater, Indiana. I get up to drain the noodles and add the cheese powder. I make myself a bowl of mac n cheese and plop back down on the couch. I finish the episode and my mac n cheese and I get up to wash the dishes. My parents DID label me as a responsible 16 year old sooo I should probably keep the house clean. I make my way upstairs to my bathroom. I shower, brush my teeth, put my hair into a ponytail, and climb into bed.

I wake up to the sound of my phone at 6:00. I make my way over to my closet and pick out a blue jumpsuit. I take a quick shower and change my clothes. I look in the mirror and notice that my hair isn't looking as tangled. I grab my brush and brush my hair. Hmmm..no beanie today. I grab my Adidas and place them by the front door. I go back upstairs and look at my phone. Geez, it's only 6:35. I still have a whole 35 minutes before I need to leave for school. I get a buzz from my phone.

Alyssa: Good Morning!

I guess I'm motivated to go to school today.

Me: good morning miss greene

Alyssa: Hey no fair...I don't even know your last name

Me: i mean i guess you can call me miss nolan lol

Alyssa: Well Miss Nolan, would you like to come meet me at Starbucks before school?

Was this like a date? No. You just met this girl. Just because she's being nice doesn't mean she likes you like that. I'm hesitant with my response.

Me: why yes i would miss greene what time shall i meet you there

Alyssa: Does 7:00 work for you?

Me: yes it does:)

Alyssa: Great! See you there

I look at the time and realize it's 6:40 and the nearest Starbucks is 12 minutes away. I grab my backpack and go downstairs. I put on my Adidas, grab my keys and backpack, and get into my truck. I come to a red light and I start thinking. Why would she be asking me to come to Starbucks? Maybe she just wants to get to know me better...which is fair because we just met. Geez Emma, stop jumping to conclusions. All though, it would be nice to know that there is someone in this town like me. The light turns green and I continue my drive with that thought in the back of my head. As I pull into Starbucks, I see Alyssa get out of her car. Her car is cute. It's also small like her. She's wearing a pink shirt that has a rounded white collar, a black skirt, shiny black boots, and a fleece white coat to tie it together.

She must have heard my car door close because as soon as it did I heard, "Hey Emma!" I walk over to her and smile and she gives me the biggest smile in return. My heart flutters. "I think we should probably go in." I say trying not to show Alyssa how badly I'm blushing. We walk in and order our drinks and then find a table to sit at. Still flustered, I try to start a conversation. "S-So how's your uh morning going?" I ask. "Pretty normal nothing new. You?" she responds. "Um my parents are gone until Wednesday, so it was a pretty quiet morning." I answer. "Oh, why'd they leave?"Alyssa asks. "Work."I answer. "Iced Vanilla Chai for Emma and Caramel Macchiato for Allistar!" I hear the barista call out. Did he just call Alyssa... Allistar? Oh I'm definitely calling her that now. I walk up to the counter and grab our drinks and go back sit down. "Here you go Allistar." I say smugly as I hand Alyssa her drink. She gives me a death glare. I raise my hands up in surrender and start laughing. She starts laughing with me. There's just something about her I can't shake. I definitely have a crush on her.

I look at my phone and realize it's 7:15. It's a 10 minute drive from Starbucks to James Madison High. School starts at 7:30. "Hey Alyssa, I think we should get going it's 7:15." I say. "Oh lord you're right my Mom would kill me if she found out I was late to school. Let alone for a coffee run." Alyssa responds nervously. We exit the Starbucks and jog to our cars. I race down the road hoping that I wouldn't get speeding ticket. I make it to school at 7:27. Emma you're cutting it close. I hustle to the front door and up to the second floor. I speed walk into my trigonometry class and sit in my seat as the bell rings. Right on time.

A/N: Again sorry for a horrible writing:)
