I woke up the first time the alarm went off. I turned it off and walked to the kitchen for coffee.
"Morning Sleeping Beauty!" my dad smiled.
"Good morning!" I smiled back. I got my coffee and ran off to get read for school. I check my phone.
Jorge: I'm taking you to school b ready @ 740
Dusty: ok
I text back. I'm ready by 7:35, I shoot Jorge a text.
Dusty: Hurry up!!!
5 minutes later I hear a knock on my door. I stand to open it, Jorge is standing there. Hands in his pockets looking guilty and shy.
"Okay what happened?" I asked concerned.
"Hmm? Oh nothing! You just... you look good today..." Jorge says bashfully. I look down at my shorts and tank top, Jorge must be on crack, I think to myself. I look up at him eyebrow raised in confusion.
"Uh... nevermind, lets go!" Jorge says blushing. We sit in the car in silence, Jorge glancing at me occasionally.
"You wanna go to the beach with me after school today?" I ask breaking the silence. "You feeling okay?" Jorge says parking the car and putting a hand to my forehead. "You feel the same."
I push away his hand. "I'm fine. I just thought we could hang out today."
"Oh...," he smiles. "Yeah, yeah I'd like that."
"Okay cool!" I smile and get out. I hear squealing girls. I look up to see Madison throwing herself at Jorge. She has brown hair with blonde highlights, her blouse is pink and semi-see through. She seemed to be wearing a pushup bra, her chichis seemed more out there today. My smile is gone, "I'll see you later I guess."
"No Dusty wai-," but I was already gone.
