Mr Reeves (keanu reeves)

10

I shut my eyes tightly hoping I could get the image of Mr Reeves smiling out of my head. At this moment, I knew I was madly in love with someone I was not supposed to have such feelings for. It wasn't right. Then why did I constantly find myself thinking about him? Then why did I find myself jealous whenever I saw Ms Angela with him? It was wrong but it felt so right... All of a sudden, a wave of sadness washed over me. Why'd I fall for someone who was out of my league? There was no way Mr Reeves could like me back...in his eyes, I was probably just a pathetic girl who kept making mistakes. I let out a frustrated sigh. I was frustrated with myself...Just then, my phone vibrated. I picked it up to see who had texted me...

Unknown: Ava are you okay? Are you at home?

I didn't know who the number belonged to...How did this person know my name?

Me: Sorry...who's this?

Unknown: Aaron. Where are you right now?

OH right...I left without telling Aaron anything. But then again, we weren't close enough to be texting each other about our whereabouts...

Me: Oh hey Aaron... sorry for leaving without saying a word...I'm home right now don't worry! Thank you for just now! I would have thrown up if I had continued drinking...

I quickly saved Aaron's number. After all, he helped me way more than my own best friend...I was going to strangle Lina in school tomorrow!

Aaron: Who said I was worried? 

Me: Asshole!!! go to bed...Maybe some sleep would help raise your grades LOL!

Aaron: Thank you for the unnecessary exam guide. Go to bed, Ava. Maybe some sleep would help you differentiate between fruit punch and Alchohol.

Me: Gosh sleep the assholeness away!

Aaron: Goodnight.

Me: Goodnight jerk.

Of course, Aaron was such an asshole...What did I expect from the school's playboy? I rolled my eyes with a small smile on my face. I never knew the school's playboy could make jokes. I quickly kept my phone away on the nightstand and curled myself under my blanket. I shut my eyes and forced myself to sleep. I didn't feel sleepy for at least an hour. But soon, my eyes closed on their own and I was deep asleep...

I felt someone nudging me...I didn't respond as I was sleepy. "Ava it's 7 AM. Wake up!" a voice called out to me while tapping on my shoulder. I ignored the voice as it was impossible that it was already 7 AM. The tapping on my shoulder became more aggressive. "Are you trying to get yourself into trouble?" the voice said. I jolted awake in anger and saw my sister in front of me. I looked out the window. The sun was out. NO WAY? How could it possibly be 7 AM already? It felt like I had just closed my eyes and gone to sleep...I stared at her in horror.

 "I'M LATE!" I screamed. "YES, YOU ARE" my sister screamed back with a small chuckle. I jumped out of my bed and started getting ready. I had to be in school by 7:15 and the walk there was not short. I decided not to shower as I barely had time. I couldn't risk having a flaw in my school record. I combed my hair in a hurry and threw on my school uniform. I drowned myself in perfume. Why did this have to happen on the day I was supposed to have lunch with Mr Reeves? What if I smelled terrible? I sprayed more perfume on myself. "Gosh slow down on the perfume" my sister chuckled. "can you drive me?" I asked her with doe eyes. PLEASE SAY YES I thought to myself. "Ava I'd love to but I need to be at work early today..." she replied. I let out a sigh. "It's fine Laura I'll walk" I replied while wearing on my socks and shoes. 

"Gotta go, see you at dinner Laura!" I said and quickly ran off. I bolted out of the house, I didn't even get to eat breakfast. I was running on an empty stomach. Great! Just a great way to start my day! I ran past the lane of houses as fast as I could. I was still a long way away from school...All of a sudden, I noticed the sky becoming grey and gloomy. Oh god please don't make it rain right now I thought to myself. I didn't stop running; I forced my legs to run faster as I wanted to reach school before the rain started pouring. Oh great just my luck. Buckets of raindrops started pouring out from the sky. The rain only got heavier and heavier...I continued running ahead without being cautious of my surroundings. Before I could realize it, I was on the ground. Gosh, I had tripped on a rock. I tried to get back up but fell back to the ground when I felt a sharp pain in my right leg. Great...my knee was bleeding heavily. For a moment, I sat on the ground while the rain continued pouring on me.  I pressed my lips together in annoyance and rolled my eyes. I was furious. Why did such things ALWAYS happen to me...I just wanted to get to school on time. I sat there staring at my knee. I didn't have the energy to get up and continue running. My leg was losing blood way too quickly. I felt like a mess; I was drenched and my skirt was stained with a mix of blood and raindrops. 

Just then, I felt a hand from behind wrap around my shoulder. I turned around to see...Aaron with a concerned expression on his face. He was holding an umbrella over me to shield me from the pouring rain. However, he was entirely drenched and was holding the umbrella only for me. Did he not mind getting wet? I stared at him for a second before throwing my hands around him and hugging him tightly. My head was on his chest and I couldn't control the tears rolling down my cheeks. He slowly lifted his hands and placed them on the back of my head, patting me lightly.  "It's okay Ava" he softly whispered. He didn't know why I was crying but his attempt at comforting me helped a little. I sniffled and held on to him tightly. My mucus ran down from my nose to his clothes. I slowly pulled my head away from his chest and sniffled. He looked at me with a warm and comforting smile. "There's mucus on your shirt..." I replied with a giggle; wiping my tears and the mucus running down my nose. He looked down at his shirt and looked back at me. We both burst out laughing. He was still holding onto the umbrella over me. I slowly pulled him closer to me so that the umbrella was shielding him too. He was startled. But then, his startled expression soon turned into an unreadable expression. Our bodies were so close, I could feel the heat radiating from his body. I was thankful he was here with me.
