just this once

chapter five:

it was him, the boy who i bumped into, the boy who i cant stop thinking about. i just stared at him wondering who he was. *BRINGG* the final bell went. "great" i muttered, "now i'll miss my bus." 

"i can give you a ride home." he said. WHAT!! this incredably amazing boy who i day dream about is offering me a ride home !!!!! eeeeekkkk. he must have seen the suprised look on my face because he chuckled and draped his arm around my shoulder guiding me back to the change rooms. my body could barely function because of his touch. "get cleaned up and get you clothes" he said, " i will be waiting outside the change room doors. i walked into the change room and changed quickly not wanting to keep him waiting, fixing my hair and makeup before i went out the door.

as i re-entered the gym he was standing the leaning agaisnt the wall with a light grin on his face, his eyes locked with mine as he walked towards me. I realized i wasnt breathing so i forced my mouth to open so i could breathe. " you ready to go? " he asked me. i still couldnt belive this was happening.

we walked to the parking lot and approached his car, it was a very very expensive looking one but im not very good with cars so i couldnt tell you what kind it was. He opened the door for me to get in and then walked around to the drivers side. as he started up the car he turned to me " i didnt catch your name." he said. "Abby, Abby Mason" i replied, " and you?" "my name in Landon Penn" he said. Landon, that name suits him.

Landon turned up the radio and some old time song was on, it was really horrible. He must have seen the disgusted look on my face ,because he asked, " can i borrow your ipod."  "sure" i said and gave it to him, our hands brushed briefly and it sent shivers down my spine. i still couldnt believe i was actually in the same car as him. He plugged my ipod into the car radio and began to scroll through the choices of songs. Landon seemed impressed with my music choices, he was looking through every song and it was taking him quite a while to pick one. He finally settled on Tears Don't Fall by Bullet For My Valentine. 

We were about half way to my house and it was a 20 min drive, i was worried because when the ride was over was i ever going to see him again. we talked casually the whole way home, mostly about music and bands. We had the exact same taste in music and that suprised me, most good looking popular guys that i knew only listened to rap and techno music. The music that we liked was hardcore metal and screamo stuff, not lame punk bands. we both had the the same favourite band, Bring Me The Horizon.

when we arrived at my house i took my ipod from him and started to get out of the car. All of a sudden Landon reached forward and grabbed my arm, he pulled me back into his car, (actually i kinda fell back into it,) and when i regained my composure i realized our faces were only mere inches apart. i found myself not breathing again because of his closeness. OMG he was going to kiss me. Just as i thought he was leaning closer i panicked and pulled away. i know, i pulled away!! what was i thinking!! the hottest boy i've ever seen was about to kiss me, and i pulled away!! i just told myself that he wasn't thinking properly, no one like him would ever WILLINGLY want to kiss someone like me!

Landon looked at me with a shocked look on his face, he probably wasn't used to being rejected. "umm... thanks for the ride home." i blurted out in the silence. "no problem... it was the least i could do for tripping you." he  said. i got out of the car quickly and walked to my house without looking back. as soon as i got inside i slammed the door and leaned my back against it. *SIGHH* what just happend.
