Perfect Love

Chapter 3

Chapter 3-Savannah 

I woke up the next morning as my head was pounding. Even though I didn't feel good there was no way I was going to let that ruin my first day of senior year. After coming home last night my parents stated if I didn't feel well in the morning I could always stay home, but I wasn't planning on it. Jared called last night like he always does before he goes to bed and I had to tell him what happened and of couse he went crazy and said he was on his way over. It took me about a good 30 minutes to convince him I was fine and that I would see him tomorrow. I knew it wouldn't be long till he would call Kayla and let her know and just as I thought Kayla called after him panicking and trying to make sure I was ok and just as I did with my boyfriend I had to reassure my best friend and tell her I would perfectly fine and I would see her tomorrow morning. By now it was 8:30 and school started at 9:00 so I had exactly half and hour to get ready and leave. After showering and doing the usual morning routine I decided to wear a pair of my favorite faded black skinny jeans with a tight white tank top that hugged my breasts and waist line. I followed my outfit with these new steve madden wedges I bought the other day. I quickly went through my accessories deciding on a long pearl necklace and black watch with some diamond earring my father bought me on one of his recent trips to Spain for a buisness meeting. I finished my look by applying light make up and curling my hairs letting it fall down my back in light curls. it was my signature look. I grabbed my black and white chanel purse and made my way downstairs.

Ever since I was little people have judged me for how I dressed or what my parents gave me. My father worked very hard to get to where he is today and same with my mother. Money didn't just fall in their hands. My mother was the top of her class when she graduated high school and went on to study at yale law school, while my dad was a medical student and had dreams of becoming a heart surgeon one day. They met ,fell in love, worked hard and helped each other achieve their dreams. So just like my parents I work hard as well.  While my last year of high school may have just started I'd had dreams of going to harvard since I was a little girl.  My older sister Anna is currently studying her third year at harvard. I don't see or really talk to her much except when she comes for the holidays with whatever new guy she brings for mom and dad to meet.

I was finishing up breakfast and it was a typical morning at our house. Dad sat across the large dining room table with his coffee and newspaper while mom was running all over the place with one phone pressed to her ear and the other in her hands as she texted quickly. She had a big case coming up and I know she was working hard to prep for it. "No, no have the files on my desk by tomorrow. Tell Mark to meet at the office by 11 and I want those files by tomorrow I mean it!" She kissed my head and told me good morning and quickly left again. "If you don't feel well at all just call me and I'll come pick you up darling." my dad said to me as he got up and kissed my head and left. I was not calling my dad to pick me up. I had to wait a week while my car was getting fixed but until then I would go with either Jared or Kayla. Today I was with Jared, and just as my mind trailed off thinking about how my last year of high school would be with my boyfriend he I heard his car pull up in my drive way as he honked the horn two times. I grabbed my things and headed out the door shouting goodbye to my parents.

The whole ride to school I was silent, my mind kept thinking about that guy, Wondering if he was okay. It's weird to know that something like this can happen and you never see the person again almost as if it actually didn't happen. Where ever he was I just hope that he's okay and safe. So many thoughts were running through my mind that I didn't even feel Jared hand on my thigh.

"you okay? I've been calling your name for the past hour." he said with a light chuckle. God he was so perfect. How did I get so lucky?

"I'm fine, just thinking I guess."

"about what?"

"The accident. It scared me, I just hope that guys okay." I said gathering my stuff as we pulled into our school looking for a parking space. First day of school parking is the worst.

"Don't feel bad for him, you should have pressed charges but your to nice Savannah." Jared gripped the steering wheel and I could tell he was mad. I thought it was cute and leaned over kissing him on the cheek as he parked the car and turned it off.

"it's in the past now so let it go babe." I wanted this year to be perfect. No fighting with anyone. I just wanted to get good grades and enjoy my time with my friends and boyfriend. We were walking hand in hand through the hallway when I saw Kayla running towards me and litterally ran into my arms almost knocking me back.

"I'm so glad your okay!" She shouted over all the people running around saying hi or trying to get to their classes. 

"I'm fine, I really am." Jared put his arm around me as I leaned into him. He was talking to a group of his friends while more of my friends came over to see how I was. All of this was great it was what I wanted. Just laughing and enjoying the time I have left with friends was enough for me. 

"I don't even know, but he is fineeee." Krystal and Jamie, were talking about some guy. 

"Oh my God, he's right there!." Said Jamie pointing. I looked up to see who they were pointing at and my body froze. Everything I was holding fell to the floor. I felt as though time and my heart had stopped. I wanted to look away, but I just kept staring at him.
