My crush on the cheerleader (edited)

Chapter twenty

I woke up feeling light instantly hit my face. My eyes peeled open to see Tess in my room. My heart sped up at the sight of her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked my head, feeling fuzzy from just waking up.

"I thought we could walk to school together," she replied, grinning way too much for this early in the morning.

"So you woke me up?" I questioned incredulously.

"Look at the time," she replied. I looked over to my bedside table trying to make out the numbers that look like a blur. Shit. I have ten minutes until I have to be at school for registration.

I jumped up out of bed making me feel dizzy. Quickly I grabbed my clothes running into the bathroom. When I got ready I took an apple on the way out with Tess.

Blair is waiting for me outside, how could I forget I was going to walk to school with her?

"I'm so sorry," I apologised as soon as I got up to her.

"Why's Blair here? I didn't know you two were friends," Tess said in a questioning tone.

"Oh. We're not. I am just working on a project in Art with her," Blair replied calmly.

Tess gave me a knowing look, one that stated 'I know you like her' and one that asked 'Are you two together?' Instead of answering her silent question I looked away, which seemed to answer more than I thought.

"I'm so happy for you guys, you make a cute couple."

Blair and I looked at each other worriedly.

"Oh come on it was obvious," Tess said, embracing us with a tight hug.

"Okay. Okay. Let us go," I said, chuckling, finding it hard to breathe.

The walk to school wasn't as awkward as I'd expected it to be and surprisingly Blair and Tess got on quite well. As we all walked in a few people looked at us then moved their eyes to Blair. April is waiting by Tess's and her classroom door because they have their first lesson together.

"Hey, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever," I say walking towards April.

"O-Oh. Yeah. I guess I have been a little...busy," April replied, shifting her eyes quickly away from me to Tess and then Blair.

"What with?" I asked.

April didn't answer, instead she decided to address Blair curtly, "Hi Blair."

"Hello," Blair said, sounding awkward and uncomfortable.

Luckily the bell went off pretty quickly signalling for us to go to class. My first lesson is Maths which I wouldn't mind if I wasn't so bad at it.

The school day seemed to drag on forever but eventually, it came to an end. Today Blair and I are going to work on our project then watch some films together.

Once we were bored of doing our project (which was inevitable) we sat on Blair's sofa and watched some films.

We watched:

-Love, Simon

And The Amazing Spider-Man (I persuaded her because it's my favourite).

After the films, it was starting to get dark because we're now in winter. The rain is heavy and it's freezing because of the lovely British weather.

"I forgot a coat," I groaned, stepping out onto the porch.

"Don't worry I have one that you can borrow; I'll go get it," Blair said then placed a light kiss on my cheek.
