As I walk to school on Monday I realize that Charles is my new science teacher. I hope that the situation isn't awkward because we have a good thing going. But as I walk into school I notice a new guy and I have to say he was the hottest person I've ever seen. You might think I'm stretching the truth but I'm not he had the darkest brown eyes and the most amazing hair. As I was staring at him I kept walking and walked right in to Brent.
"Oh sorry, hey did you see the new guy?" I ask and he looks over my shoulder and looks at him.
"No." I could tell he was jealous because I was staring and he likes me so when ever someone tries to talk to me he butts in and it's really annoying. Then I see Jen walk in but she didn't seem to notice him. I look at her with my mouth open like she missed something.
"What?" She says
"You didn't see that guy!" I point to him. She looks and turns to me with her mouth open.
"I know and call dibs." I say
"Lyric you can't call dibs on him he probably already has a girlfriend." I think about what she said and it sounds like that's a strong chance she's right. I fell a little sad but he probably won't like me any ways. The bell rings and I walk to my first class I can't help but look at him again and lucky for me he looks confused he's looking at a piece of paper.
"Hey can I help you?" I ask kind of nervous. He looks at me my heart thuds so hard in my chest.
"Actually yeah I'm going to Mrs.Lynn's class, but I'm new and don't know my way could you show me?" He asks
"Yeah I'm in the same class as you so I can show around if you don't mind my company." I said
"Yeah that would be great by the way I'm Mitchell but most people call me Mitch and you what's your name?"
"Oh sorry Im lyric can I see the rest of your schedule?" I ask
"Sure,here." He says he hands me his schedule I scan over it and notice that he's in most of my classes all but one.
"Well your in luck because I'm in all your classes except for health." He lets out a big breath as though he was relieved.
"Hey if you want I can introduce you to my friends I don't have a lot so it wouldn't be stressful."
"Sure." He doesn't say much just one word answers but he's new so I understand that I maybe a little pushy.
"Ok let's go." I say we walk down the hallway together and just as I thought Brent was with mike listening in.
"Really guys you don't have to ease drop on us." I say
"We weren't we were talking to each other." I says I let it go because this is going to go on forever.
"Guys this is Mitch he's new. Mitch this is Brent and this is mike." I whisper in his ear, "Mike has never spoke in his life so if he doesn't respond just keep talking he's a good listener." He just nods in response.
"Ok let's go." We walk into English and Mrs.Lynn sees Mitch she introduces him to the class. Every girl what's to sit by him but he decided to sit next to me which made me happy I think that a good friendship has started. After that We had all the normal boring classes and then came gym. I like gym but I'm always afraid that I'm going to get hit with a ball which happens all the time. This time we had a new player on the field. Mitch. Wow can that guy move he is the fastest in our grade probably the whole school. Thank god we were on the same side right before I was going to get hit with a ball he caught it right in front of me.
"You should be more carful you could get hurt." He says with a smile on he's face
"Yeah I'm not very good at this game and we always seem to playing it." I say
"Your doing good but you can't be afraid of the ball" he says
"Ok" I don't think that this will actually work because if I'm not afraid I'm to confident and I get in the face. As we continued to play I notice that Brent kept trying so hard to hit Mitch but he never was good at sports. He kept missing.
"Hey lighten up Brent!" I yell at him.
"What's wrong lyric this is how the games played right?, I could have heard the teacher wrong but I'm sure this is how you play." He's says with an 'I don't know what you're talking about' look on his face. Some times I with he would lighten up more he's to protective of me like something could fall on my head on an second. He's a good friend but he really doesn't get that I don't what to go out with him. I have to do something about this if I want to hang around Mitch.
------------------------
After P.E I have come up with a small plan in my head.
"Hey Brent come here." I say. He come over with a 'what do you want' face.
"Yes" he says
"Do you want to get something to eat and maybe watch a movie at my place." As soon as I said that he's face lit up.
"Yeah" he said to confident and I could tell he was trying not to make a big deal.
"K see you at 6:00,is that ok?" I ask
"Yeah that perfect." And after he said that I knew I was in deep all ready but tonight could be worst.
"Great, we could watch divergent or mortal instruments something like that is that ok?"
"Yeah that sounds good."
"K see you later then." I say
"Yep." He walks away with a smile on his face.
"Oh no" I think out loud "what have I gotten my self into?" Right as I say that Jen comes around the corner.
"What have you gotten your self?" She asks
"Oh nothing but asking out Brent." Her jaw dropped.
"WHAT, I thought you didn't like him?!"
"I don't like him but I have to get it to him some way that I don't like him." I say
"So you ask him?, how does that make him think you don't like him." She asked with a confused look.
"I'm just going to tell him tonight." She still looked confused "I'm going to tell him I don't like him."
"You are a very crazy person asking someone out just so you can tell him you don't like him, how do you think he'll take it?"
"I don't think he'll take it, he'll just ignore me and keep staring at me. Or hopefully he'll get my massage and back of a little." When I finished the bell rang.
"Class is starting got to go."
"Ok tell me how it goes."
-------------------------
After school I get ready for my "date" with Brent. I dress in some dark jeans with a floral pattern on an orange color shirt. I put my hair in a pony tail and I put some makeup on. I'm not really the kind to wear makeup. Then I felt really sad for some reason. And I realized that "I'm going to hurt Brent" and as those words slipped my lips the doorbell rang.
I didn't know what to do I just thought I'm throwing away a good friend that's been with me through thick and thin.
"Shoot!"
"Hey you heard that bell come here!" My dad yells at me.
"Yeah I'll be there in two seconds." I thought to my self "what am I going to do?, I don't want to hurt him but I also want him to back off a little." I walked out of my room to see his silhouette in the door way "here going everything."
