The Locker (Completed)

Chapter 5

Josh's P.O.V.

As I walk into Fort Jones High School I quickly pass Lila's locker, thankful shes not here yet. There is about 25 minutes before school starts so I walk around campus, looking for my friends. Heading over to the usual spot, 'The Quad' is what we call it. I instantly see Marcus and Tanner talking to the school sluts, Brooke and Katelyn. When the guys finally notice me they ditch the sluts and walk over to me. "Hey dude, sup?" Marcus says patting me on the back. We talk for a bit, discussing what we might do over the weekend. I was planning on taking Lila out, if she'll let me. I suggested we get to class although we have 10 minutes left, I just don't want to run into Lila, considering I'm trying to avoid her.

Classes seemed to go by pretty quickly today, and I found myself sitting at our lunch table in the cafeteria. Looking around I don't see Lila anywhere. Then I suddenly notice Katelyn walking towards me, her hips swaying obviously, her smile plastered on her face as she stands in front me with her polished, manicured fingers she uses to flip her long blonde hair. Her desperate blue eyes look at me while she's asking me a question. Already tuning her out, I focus on trying to find Lila in the cafeteria.

"Josh? Are you even listening to me?" the slut asks obviously annoyed. Forgetting she was even there I look at her a little surprised. "No, Katelyn I'm really not" I say annoyed as a leave her and walk over to Tanner. I look back at her, with her jaw to the floor, as she storms off while yelling curse words. Tanner looked at me with a grin on his face, "What'd you do?". I chuckled, "I just said I wasn't listening to her, and she went all PMS on my ass". "Dude, thats like the worst thing you could ever say to a girl" he said while shaking his head and smiling. "I know that's why I said it to her, she won't leave me alone". Tanner laughs and smacks my back. "I know what you mean, Brooke won't stop harassing me!". I laugh, "Where is she now?". "She went to calm down Katelyn". We both just burst out laughing.

Suddenly I see light brown shoulder length hair, big bright blue eyes, and beautiful tan skin. As well as black converse, short white shorts and a simple purple short sleeved T shirt. "Lila". I say in a trance. "What?" Tanner says confused. I look at him as my face reddens, "What? Oh nothing I didn't say anything" I say embarrassed. "Yes you did, you said Lila, as in Lila Johnson? The girl you were just staring at right?" he stares at me waiting for an answer. I look back at Lila, as she sits down next to her friends at their usual spot. "Uh, y-ya that's her" I answer still embarrassed. "Well are you gonna tap that?" he asks with a grin on his face. "Its not like that Tanner, I really like her, she's not like those other girls, she's special" I say while still looking at Lila. Tanner just looked at me shocked, "Wow dude, after I met you at the house party your cousin threw before school started, I never would have thought you would become whipped!" he says while trying to stifle his laughter. "Whatever Tanner, you just don't understand" I said angrily while walking back to our table and sitting down.

After the bell rang for lunch to be over. I headed to English which was my 5th period. English seemed to go by pretty quickly, as well as Science which was 6th period, the last period of the day. I managed to avoid Lila the whole day, it bothered me because I really wanted to talk to her, but I had to do it so it'll make her want me more.

I pulled up at my house, and got out of the car. Immediately I looked over at Lila's huge house. I don't know why hers is so much bigger than mine, all of the houses in the complex are like this, different size, shape, everything. I noticed her car was parked in the driveway, odd she usually parks it in the garage.

Confidently walking over to her house I knock on the door. When she opens the door I'm taken aback, again. She is so beautiful, I'll never get used to it. Her perfect, plump, pink lips are curved up in a sexy smirk. "Can I help you Josh?". I suddenly realize I'm still staring at her, time to turn on the charm, "Hey Lila" I say with a wink. "You busy friday night?" I smile. "I do believe I said no about 3 times right? And yes I am, Ive got a date".

Well I wasn't expecting that answer. I look away disappointed, "Oh, who with?". "My friend Parker" she says excitedly. I suddenly become very jealous, "Parker? You mean Parker White?". She nods her head yes. I step up so our faces are just inches apart, I hear her breath hitch and I smirk. I lean in and whisper in her ear "You'd have much more fun with me baby" I say as I grab her hips and pull her closer to me. Her hands go to my chest as she lightly pushes me away. She tries to calm her blushing cheeks and shaking hands as she speaks, "You're very sure of yourself aren't you Josh" she says while stepping back to gain some space. "I could prove it to you if you'd let me" I say referring to my previous comment.

She grabs the handle of the door attempting to close it, but I put my foot in stopping it. She looks at me aggravated, "If I agree to go out with you will you leave me alone?". I smile, "Maybe, but after our date you're not going to want me to leave you alone" I say playfully. She huffs, "We'll see about that, player". I chuckle, "Be ready Saturday at 7:30, later Lila" I say while walking away, I hear her say bye as she shuts the door.

I walk in my house with a smile on my face. Wow I can't believe she said yes!! Well kind of. Either way I have a date with the hottest girl in school on saturday!

The clock read 8:00pm and I got up from my bed to take a shower. Once I'm out I go to my closet with a towel hung low on my hips. As I grab a pair of boxers and a plain white shirt, I realize my dark blue curtains are wide open. I go over to the curtains to close them, then suddenly I see Lila looking out her window directly into mine. Once she realizes I caught her she looks surprised and quickly closes her curtains. I laugh, shes so cute. Then I finally get dressed and lay in my bed to watch t.v.

I hear a knock sound on my door. I look up and realize its my mom. "Hey Josh, don't forget I'm leaving early tomorrow". I nod my head, "I know mom, when are you coming back?" I ask. "In about two weeks, it's just a short business trip this time" she says with a smile. "Okay" I said now staring at the ceiling. "Ok well since I'm not going to see you in the morning, goodnight and I love you" she says while walking over and kissing my forehead. "Night mom, love you too" I say while she walks out of my room. I'm used to her leaving all of the time for her job, she's an event planner, so she is always going away. Sometimes its for about a month, but on good occasions its only a week or two. As for my dad, well he died from cancer when I was 11. I do miss him so much, it was hard on my mom most of all. He was our rock, him and I did everything together. I remember when he always used to take me to the baseball fields and help me practice. I'll never forget how proud he was when he saw me hit my first home run. When he died, so did my love for baseball, it just wasn't the same without him, so I gave it up. I havent picked up a bat in 7 years.

I finally start to fall asleep, my tiredness overcoming me. Last thing on my mind is Lila, and how excited I am to take her out Saturday. That's when I realized that this was more than just a little crush. She's the only girl Ive ever felt this way about. Just the thought of her drives me wild! I know this is moving all so fast, I mean I just met her on monday and it's only wednesday. My feelings for her just get stronger every time I see her.
