The Girl Next Door

August

I usually looked forward to things. Today it was the complete opposite. I woke up with my eyes looking like I haven't slept for days and my hair looked like a bird's nest, probably even worst. I brushed my teeth and split water on my top. Then, I nearly dropped my phone down the toilet. Talk about luck honestly.  

I peeked out of the window to see a girl wearing a football jersey and riding a bike with her brunette hair flying backward in the wind. I could feel myself blushing a bit but I knocked myself out of it. "You're into guys," I told myself. I grabbed a cropped jacket and rushed off trying to catch up with the brunette girl but no luck. 

I got to school panting and my hair a mess. The day went by normally but I noticed a small poster on the bulletin board. "Dram.Drama?" I whispered. "Are you trying out?" said a voice behind me. I turned around to see the brunette girl from earlier. I had to admit she looked much prettier and had blue eyes that seemed like the ocean. Her face was sharp and I noticed a few bruises on her knees. We both were so close I could feel her breathing and my vocal cords just decided to give up probably. "You.Knees.Bruised." I stammered. "Man, it's just from the football I play." She replied, doing that thing where you flip your hair back. I swear I probably almost fainted and rushed off leaving her confused.
