Anything But Ordinary

Shy

CHAPTER 2

I smiled, thinking of my latest dream. It took place in the school gym. With a bunch of people dressed up, immediately I knew it was prom. Just saying that word makes me shiver. I hate dancing! My feet tangle up and I always end up tripping on them.

But the girl I recognized as me, was confident, graceful, and dare I say beautiful? But the most surprising thing was, I had a dance partner! I strained to look at his face, but it was blurry. That's the thing about my crazy visions. They reveal some of the future, and leave some of it blank. The only thing that really stood out about him was his spider web tattoo wrapping around his right wrist.

Alex walked on the bus and sat down next to me. " Whatca smiling about?" He raised his left eyebrow. He knew that always annoyed me.

"It's nothing. I see you are going to talk to me today." I replied. I must have been staring at him- which tends to freak him out. He laughed nervously and swatted me away.

We continued to talk about little unimportant things as we made our way to our lockers; which were conveniently next to each other.

I ran down the list of stuff I needed for my morning classes. Biology- check. Trigonometry- check. Art- check.

I looked over to Alex,"Can you go any slower?" I said teasing him.

He half rolled his eyes.

Too bad, I am your only friend. Deal with it. I thought. As he grabbed the last of his books.

Just as he closed his well organized locker (mine was rather messy), Jessica and her stupid slutty friends passed. She reached towards me with her well pampered hand ,and slammed my stuff to the ground.

"Oh, so clumsy." She said innocently.

"That... that bitch." I muttered.

Alex started picking up my stuff. "

You'll be late, go to class." I told him.

He nodded. School meant the world to him.

I quickly went to pick up all my stuff. Someone grabbed my biology notebook and handed it to me. "Oh. Um. Thanks." I said quietly.

" No problem. " said Andrew.

Oh shit. I thought. How much of that had he seen. I turned red with embarrassment.

The first period bell rang. Great now I got us both late.

" We have first period together. I bet if we come up with a good excuse Mrs. Smith wont mind." He said.

I bite my lip, a nervous habit. He knew we had art together? Wow. "Uh. Um. Sure." I was barely able to reply. Still in shock.
