Then There Was You

Chapter One.

Turning my music up way to loud and waiting for this dreadful bus ride to come to an end i listened to Nirvana Come as you are. The bus stopped almost as if to answer my prayers my best friend sat down beside me "Hold this" he said handing me his coffee, I held the coffee witout complaint. Maybe he will notice today.. or maybe I'm being way to hopefull for my own good, although right now even as he speaks i could kiss him, it would only take a second for it to register in his mind, whos to say he wants to kiss me anyway. Not listening to him as though i should i finally decided against kissing him and began to listen "So, Thomas argued with me all night because he cant do it as well as me. Oh, hey look i really love this song" he showed me his iPod i looked down at the song 'Simple Man.' "I do say good sir it is a great song indeed" i said trying and might i add failing not to laugh, he laughed and scooted down in the seat resting his legs on the seat infront of us. I leaned down and layed my head on his shoulder "I'm so tired its not even funny. things are way to stressful." i said tearing up. He put his arm around me and hugged me to his chest. Slowly but surley i closed my eyes letting sleep take over the stressful thoughts of home and my feelings for him, sad because he didn't know....sad because he would never know... sad because i was a coward.

Braden shook me slightly "We're here Alice." i opened my eyes and still lied on him as the bus came to a stop, he hugged me tightly once more and let go, reluctantly i got up and got everything ready to carry off the bus. He showed me his iPod again as i looked down at it i saw 'Country song' and smiled "I miss the old music being made, i hate the newest generation of music." i stated checking my phone for the time; 8:00. Great school started in just Twenty-Five short minutes and i had to go on throughout the day suffering in this hell whole. Being a junior was an advantage but he was a sophmore, so i would be gone sooner the he would be which put me in a state of sadness that even thinking if our relationship did ever exsits that he would still be stuck here, possibly find someone new and in the same grade to be happy with. This was what i feared most, was losing something that wasn't even mine. I shamefully thought about kissing him, shamefully because i knew he liked Rose, but i didnt care to spare her feelings.. I wanted him and wanted him to want only me.

We walked off the bus and he turned his iPod up full blast and i could hear Nirvana, i chuckled slightly and walked passed him as he went off to talk to his friends. I walked through the cafeteria and got in line for breakfast, typed in my number and grabbed some breakfast waiting for Caroline. I quickly sent Caroline a text Me:Bus here yet? i hit send and awaited her response while openeing my poptart. soon enough my phone buzzed Caroline: Yes. walking in now. I smiled happily and walked to the front of the cafateria and waited. I looked around and spotted Braden, god would i love to be the one he was crushing on. He's been crushing on Rose since well forever now, since gradeschool even when i liked him he only liked her.

"Hey! i didn't think you would come today." Caroline said shoving an earphone in my ear to let me hear that she was playing Pierce The Veil, knowingly i smiled "King for a day Feat. Kellin Quinn." i said and she just fangirled along with me. If only you knew the half of it, we fangirl so much a day and i think and want to believe its only because they are our idols and we long to meet and thank them, hell for saving us and being good looking. We walked to our locker we shared and opened it, Caroline took out the coffee and gave me some "Thank you! i need this" i smelt the cup full of french vanilla coffee "God i love french vanilla!" i said sipping my coffee.we finsihed putting our luch in the locker; two teas, some chips and a brownie plus an apple. Sadly the bell rung all to soon and i shut my phone off finishing my coffee, "I'll see you in lunch" Caroline hugged me and we walked to our classes; me stopping half way to turn into History "See ya" i said.

I took my seat behind Danielle and got my notebook out ignoring the teachers bell ringer and started drawing random things on the page, trying to figure out what to do during first period that would pass time till i got to fifth. I hate... no scratch that; Dreaded Math class the most. I think its becuase my dyslexia but i can't really get a grasp on what Mr.Magonson is trying to teach us, numbers mixed with letters really set me into confussion while in this third nine weeks. I like to think i try to at least get a grasp on it but no matter how much i try i really cant get a hold on it, i always fail the test and even when he asks for answers mine are always wrong because i had something backwards or wrote the number wrong. It irritates me to no understanding.
