A boy named Blaze

Chapter 5

I didn't realize I fell asleep untill I hear the annoying beeping of my alarm. I groaned and rolled on my side, pressing the off button to my alarm and snuggled back under the covers. I heard my phone beep and I rolled over planning to give whoever texted me hell, but then I looked at the caller ID. It was Matthew, a smile appeared on my face and I sat up in bed. "Good morning beautiful," the text said and I smiled again. I remember about yesterday and texted back, then I jumped into the shower. I let the warm water run down my body and I thought about Matthew.

Sigh, why cant love be real. It would be so nice to have a fairytale romance with Matthew. I stepped out of the shower, again taking in my appearance in the mirror, I hope Matthew really likes me, not just my looks. Then I shook that thought, of course he really likes me, somehow that made me feel weird. I shook it off and wrapped the towel back around my body as I walked back into my room. I slipped into a pair of tight fitting skinny-jeans and a low cut shirt with buttons that went down to about the end of my boobs.

I didn't feel like doing my hair so I pulled it into a messy bun. I put some makeup on and fell back down onto my bed. I started texting Matthew again till my mom came running up the stairs. "Tara, get up already," my mother yelled. I glared at her as I laid on my bed, ready for school. "I'm just waiting for you mother dear," I said smiling. She glared at me and I smiled as she stomped downstairs to do her hair. Matthew texted me saying he was at school and I grabbed my bag, racing downstairs and yelling out, "mom ready to go?"

I stood by her locker with Ashton standing beside me. "Damn you are lucky," Ashton said. We were talking about Tara, Ashton has it bad for her. Yet so did I, if I didn't like her so much I might have gave Ashton a chance to win Tara's heart, yet that's not happening. "Yeah, I am," I said smiling. God it sucks I don't think I even won her heart but I think I might love her. I would do anything for her, when she kissed that Bry I think I died a little inside but I forgive her. Now I understand she didn't want to but had to for him to let go of her.

"She is so beautiful and down to Earth yet so cocky at the same time," Ashton said going on and on. "Ash, dude, stop drooling over my girl," I said liking the way that sounded, my girl. I ran a hand threw my hair, hating and loving how Ashton liked her. I only liked one girl before, like really liked, and Ashton took her away from me. She left me willingly, she loved Ashton not me, but I haven't been able to like another girl since. As soon as he saw how much I liked her he dumped her and never talked to her again, I was mad for awhile but we became friends again.

I wont let Ashton take Tara away from me, I wont let any jerk take Tara away from me. "I wasn't drooling," Ashton murmured, looking down blushing. "Your blushing," I teased, a smirk on my face. "Shut up," Ashton said and my smirk grew bigger. It was always so fun to bug Ashton, we have been friends since we were eight. We met in grade two yet I still rarely got to really bug him, everything he did he was proud of. That includes sleeping with ten different girl in one night to breaking ever girls heart. He was never fat or really skinny, he was never really tall but never short, he was like almost perfect, and it made me go crazy. I used to be really skinny and really tall and used to need dorky glasses.

Luckily that I when I grew up I didn't stay that tall dorky kid, or I don't know if I could have got Tara. Now I don't need glasses, I'm still tall but I don't really look out of place, I am happy with myself now. Yet even though I could have girls like Ashton, I mean he would get more but would still get lots, I choose not to. Most of them don't even try anymore, any new girls they're friends try to tell them I'm not looking and if they don't believe them they learn fast. I ignore any girls who try to get me, any girl other then Tara, when she was lost and how confused and cute she looked. I smiled again thinking about her, waiting for her to come to school.
