My First Actual Love

The Next Day

I get woken up by my alarm at 6:30 a.m. I get my brothers up and then I get dressed. By the time I get dressed it's only 6:40 and I have to wait for the bus to come. The bus doesn't get to my house until 7:10 and sometimes later. So I sit on my couch and start texting Jordan.
"Hey." I start.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing, just waiting for the bus, you?"
"Talking to Mathew ;) he's right next to me."
"Okay."
"Wanna say hi? ;) ;) ;)"
"No, I'm okay."
"Are you sure, I know you like him! ;)"
"No I don't..."
"If you say so :p"
"I have to go, my bus is here."
"Okay see you at school, I'll have Mathew with me ;) ;)"
"Ugh, whatever :p" I get on my bus with my brothers behind me. I sit by myself as usual and just listen to my music. When we get to the school I walk into the cafeteria for breakfast, and I see Jordan sitting there at our table with Mathew right next to him.
"Damnit..." I whisper to myself as I walk over. "Hey Jordan." I say with a smile. Mathew gets in my face and smiles, which makes me a little uncomfortable so I take a step back. "Umm.... What?...." I ask him.
"Oh nothing, just looking at your eyes. Did you know that you have a brown spot in your right eye?" He asks innocently.
"Actually it's my left eye... It's your right, my left..." I say correcting him.
"Oh..." He says a little coyly. But then he smiles and winks at me, I just look down at my feet shyly. The bell rings and we all go to first period, but Mathew starts following me.
I turn to look at him, "What are you doing?"
"Going to class." He smiles.
"What class do you have?"
"Physical science."
"Oh..." I turn and go to class, our classes are in the same hallway. "I feel so stupid." I whisper. First hour gets over with and Mathew is waiting at his classroom door. He's just standing there. I try to walk past him, but he walks beside me.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"I don't know, because I'm curious."
"No, you're being weird, you don't even know me..."
"That's why I'm curious." He winks at me, "Well I have to go to band now, see you later!" I walk to English and start reading my book. When the teacher calls my name to answer her question. I tell her the correct answer and everyone glares at me.
"English is my best subject, don't be so surprised..." I say and keep reading. The bell rings and I start walking to drama, Mathew of course is standing right where I want to go. Band and drama are in the same hallway.
"Are you following me?" He asks with a cheeky grin on his face.
"No I'm going to drama..." I tell him. He sits there and stares at me for a while. "You're going to be late to class if you don't go now."
"Nah, I'll be okay." He stays right in front of me.
"Okay suit yourself, I need to go to class." He grabs my hand and holds it until I pull away and stare at him. "What was that about?"
"Nothing..." He says with a slight redness in his face and he walks away.
"Okay then..." I go into class. We started research on playwrights on the first day and I was done so I sat in front of the class and presented. Drama is my favorite class so I always get my work done in that class. Everyone else was still working on it so I sat in my chair and read. The bell rings and I start going to my next class which is speech. I see Mathew in the hall again but before he can stop me, I duck into class. Mathew goes right passed my class into the class next door, he must have English. Class starts and all we're doing is working on chapter questions from the book. Bell rings and I go to leave, but BAM! There's Mathew!
"AHH! Goddamnit Mathew...."
"What?" He says and winks. I break a smile. How could I not? He's so cute. What?! Did I really just... Nope!! Oh my gosh I have to get away from this boy!
"Well I should go..."
"Nah, stay!" He says with a smile and then winks at me.
"No I should go, I'm kinda hungry..."
"I'll walk you to the cafeteria!" He smiles and grabs my hand again. Only this time I let him hold it, I can feel the smile on his face as we walk to the cafeteria. "Awe, you're letting me this time?" He smiles and looks at me.
"Well I'm pretty sure that if I tried to pull away you'd grab my hand again." I look at him.
"I would, but that's okay. Hehe."
"You're a dork..." We go to the cafeteria and Jordan stares at me, well us. When we get to the table Jordan is smiling very wide. "What?..." I look at Mathew and then look away blushing.
"She's so cute." He says to Jordan and smiles looking at me. We eat lunch and then the bell rings so we start heading to class. Mathew sap tarts walking me to class when I look at him.
"What are you doing now?"
"Walking you to class, of course."
"Why? It's not like you like me or anything..."
"Yes I do..." He whispers to himself. I pretend I didn't hear him so that I don't get all flustered.
"Well I'm here, so you can go now..."
"Okay." He leans in to kiss my forehead but I screech and run into class. Class gets over while I'm still thinking about him. How could I not? He's just so cute. Well now I have class with him, mythology. We make eye contact and I quickly sit down. He comes over to my desk and I look at Jordan.
"Hey, why?..." He begins.
"I was startled..." I don't let him finish.
"Why?"
"Oh, I don't know. Probably because I barely know you and then you tried to kiss my forehead..."
"Sorry..." He walks back to his seat. Great, now I feel bad...I walk over to his desk.
"Look, I'm sorry. I just... I don't know what to expect, you know? We just met yesterday... You know?"
"I just, like you. I don't know why. Something about you is just interesting to me. I don't know what it is, but it's something." He says looking me in the eyes. I look away and he frowns. "What's wrong?" He asks.
"I don't like eye contact..."
"Oh, sorry..."
"It's not you're fault..."
"I know, but still..." The bell rings and I go to my desk. Class starts and we start reading out of our textbooks. Class soon gets over and I get up to leave. Mathew gets next to me and grabs my backpack for me. I take it from him, and he walks me to my next class, I can't shake him off. So why try?
"We're here." He turns to leave, but I grab him and kiss his cheek then leave to class. Class is over soon because it's only weights. Mathew is waiting outside of class for me, and I turn bright red.
"Hey." He says.
"Hey..."
"Want me to walk you home?"
"I ride a bus..."
"Then how about I walk you to your bus?"
"Okay." I smile and he smiles back. He takes my hand again and we hold hands to my bus. "Here we are."
"Okay." He kisses my forehead and looks at me to see if it was okay, and I smile so he smiles too. He walks away and I get on my bus. I ride home and do my chores, then take a shower. After my shower I eat dinner and go to bed.
