My First Actual Love

First Day of School

I'm only a sophomore in school, and this is when it started. In the beginning of the year, I was taking a class with the freshman because it was a duel credit class. It was a computer applications class. I took the first course last year, so I took the second course this year. Anyways, we went around class introducing ourselves to get to know the whole class. Let me tell you, I'm a very shy person when it comes to meeting new people, so when it got to me to introduce myself I was quiet and everyone was staring at me. I was so frightened that I stopped talking and they moved on. It got to this freshman named Mathew, and he was so loud. Like he had nothing to hide from anyone. It made me cringe at first but I got intrigued. He noticed me staring and stared back so I looked away shyly and started blushing. This being the last class of the day, I so desperately wanted it to be over. When the bell rang I headed for the door but someone stopped me. It was Mathew.
"Awe crap..." I whisper to myself.
"Hey, you're the one that was looking at me earlier, right?" He asks me while staring into my eyes deep into my soul. I don't say anything and I look down at the ground as he stares at me.
I realize he's not going to let me through until I answer his question, so I reply to his question with a whispered "Yeah..." He smiles and leaves.
"What the hell was that?..." I walk outside and start to Walt to my bus when I see him with one of my friends Jordan and they both wave smiling at me. I shyly wave back and walk to my bus.
After a while Jordan texts me: "You have a crush, don't you?" I can just see the smile on his face when he texted me.
"What makes you say that? " I text him back, hoping he'll buy into my innocent act. (Of course he won't though, he's my best friend) He decided to call me.
He starts off by saying, "Yes you do!"
"I hate you -_-"
"Nooo you love me!"
"As if, plus, he's only a freshman."
"Maybe, but in elementary he got held back a grade, so he's our age :p"
"You know him?"
"Of course, he's one of my best friends."
"Then how come I don't know him?"
"Because you don't listen!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I've told you about him many times, but you never listen!"
"That's because you never shut up!" We both laugh.
"I think he might like you."
"What makes you say that?"
"He wouldn't shut up about you after school."
"Oh..." My mom calls me to dinner and I tell Jordan and we hang up. I get my plate and sit on the couch in the living room , and my mom sits in the chair, while my brothers are on the couch next to me, and my dad is still at work so we start to eat.
"How was school today?" My mom asks all three of us.
"Blah, I don't like my reading teacher." Otis, my youngest brother, replies.
"That's because you don't like reading." Sidney, my younger brother, says. He's only a year younger than me.
"Not just reading, he doesn't like school at all period." I say.
"Be nice you two." My mom warns.
"Why? It's true!" Sidney and I chorus. We turn and laugh at each other.
"Anyways! What happened today at school?" My mom presses.
"The usual things that happen at school, duh!" Sidney tells her, she rolls her eyes and looks at me.
"Nothing." I say trying to avoid the subject of Mathew. Because if I say something it'll become an endless sea of teasing, and I'm not ready for that.
"Liar." She says. "You met a boy, didn't you?" I stay silent. "You did! What's his name?"
"Mathew..." I whisper, but she heard me.
"Last name?"
"I don't know mom..."
"Oh, shame."
"I'm going to bed." I was done with dinner, so I put my plate in the sink and go to my room and get my pajamas on. I fall asleep after an hour and a half laying in my bed thinking about school tomorrow and having to see Mathew.
