Blink

Chapter 3

        Today was Monday, my dad said we were living in that house too! And Jayson lives 2 houses down. I think I'm crushing on him and we barely know eachother. My alarm had just woke me up so I got out of bed and looked for something to wear, most my cloth was in a box for when we move Friday. But I found a pair of skinny jeans, vans, and an old t-shirt with the words Surprisingly In Love on it. I brushed my teeth and did my hair and was ready.

        Oh no, where's my bookbag. "DADDY?!" I yelled, "WHERE IS MY BOOKBAG!" I rheard him sigh and he told me it was in the kitchen. I hopped in the car and he drove me to school. I sat at the little benches in front of the cafeteria that surrounded our statue of the school mascot, a mermaid. I always found it creepy, but out of the corner of my eye I saw Jayson walking around. I was about to yell his name when the first bell rang.

        I walked to class and sat by Maria. She's one of my best friends, "Hey boo. What's up." She smiled and replied, "Nothing much. Life. Guess what, we have a new student, I heard he's really cute."

        "Neat I guess."

        "Gen, aren't you ever going to like someone."

        I smirked and told her I did and that she would meet him soon. And then I realized, Jayson is the new student. He walked in the classroom and me and Maria both said, "That's him!" at the same time! He stood by the teachers desk and then class began. The teacher introduced him at the front of the classroom and then Jayson winked at me.

        Oh no, there's an empty desk by me, he might sit here. What if he does, I won't be able to prevent my blushing! He did, he set down his bookbag and whispered, "Hey honey." Oh my gosh, why did he do that, I barely knew the kid. Maria started laughing and everyone was staring at me and started whispering.

        "QUIET!" The teacher yelled. The rest of the day went on and Jayson had 3 other periods with me. Then, figures. He rides my bus. Why couldn't I be a car rider in the afternoon too?! He sat by me, "You don't live far from the house your moving into or mine, so we ride the same bus. Fun." I started blushing crazy.

        We got off the bus at my stop. But he doesn't have my stop, so why did he get off. "Are you a stalker?" I asked patiently. He laughed and replied gently, "Only to you." I marched ahead but he caught up, "Where do you live then..." I didn't know if I should tell him. "Follow me..." I replied and hesitated, but then I added one more thing, "Honey."

        He blushed, "Sorry, your friend was looking at me so I was trying to make myself taken." I looked down feeling insecure and replied, "And you chose me... why not someone else?" He stopped walking.

        "Because, you are absolutely beautiful and unique, Genavieve." I felt shocked and then felt lips against my cheek. I was even more shocked and ran home. I went to a place where I could think, the roof. But it wasn't till long when he found me.

        "Why do you like me, Jayson?"

        "Genavieve, I barely know you. But you're beautiful and seem like the nicest girl in the world. And when I saw you, it was like I knew that you were important. And sure, I've only known you barely for a week, but I think I'm in love..."

        "I think... I think I'm in love too." He leaned in, but then my dad parked in the drive way. I told him we were just hanging out. My dad is way to strict about dating and would kill me.
