A Lost Cause

Cleaning up

As him and I walk down the hall I think I should get to know him a little better, I mean, I don't even know his name.

"What's your name?" I ask. He told me it was Tristan.

"Oh. My name is Brandee. What's your last name?" I sound like bit of a stalker now.

"Ribbnäs." He replies.

"You don't have a German accent. Where are you from?" I say.

"I'm from Sweden haha. A foreign exchange student. You're new here?" He's asked.

"Really? I have some idols from Sweden. And yeah, I am.. I'm having the best first day ever!" I joke.

He just laughs and says, "So, these idols. They actors or..?"

Oh boy.. he's going to get me started on this? Now he's really going to find out how weird I am, and I just met him.

"Well," I say to start out, " They're in this band I really like and, just thinking about them makes me crazy! Haha"

He's got the weird look on his face.. Oh great.

"And this band is, who?" He asks me.

"Counting Some Stars.."

"Oh really??" Tristan says.

I nod, "yeah, they're amazing."

We make it to the bathrooms. Tristan waits outside in the hall while I walk into the girls bathroom to clean up all the applesauce in my hair and on my pants.

I finish cleaning up on about 10 minutes. The bells rings. I wonder if he's still waiting for me in the hall, or if he just left because I was taking so long.

I walk out into the hall, surprised. Tristan was still waiting for me! (Aww!)

"Sorry I took so long.!"

He smiles and says, "it's okay! I'd wait all day. I wouldn't leave you."

I feel the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Aww, thanks! Uhm, sorry, I'm making you late for class.."

"Don't worry about it haha. What class do you have?" Tristan importuned.

I take a look at my schedule, because of course it's only my first day here and I don't have all of my classes memorized.

"Uhm, Biology with Mr. Wright." I respond.

"Me too! Let's walk together." He suggests.

"We shall." I laugh.
