Him By Lyla

Chapter 1 Him

Him! So cute. So smart. So perfect. Mitchel Frank, Sophomore, has the most gorgeous green eyes that look unreal, his smile that wows everyone who sees it. He is my dream guy, but he doesn’t see that, we are friends and only friends to him. When we were in 8th grade, I told him I liked him, but he laughed and said I like you too, you're the bestest friend I have ever had.

“Dell! Dell” I wake up. I fell asleep in Mr. Man’s class and Mitchel woke me up before Mr. Man noticed. Mitchel looks at me “what the hell is wrong with you today? You slept in every class!” I didn’t go to sleep last night, I decided to get high so I don’t cry about Mitchel not liking me, I don’t get high alot, I only do it if I'm about to break. “Are you high!” Mitchel raises his voice but not too high to where Mr. Man hears, “what makes you say that” I reply looking at the piece of paper on the floor. “Are you” he looks at the paper too. “Yes.. but it's for my back I’m completely aware.” I lie, I’m high because I need to be in order to get through school, and so I don’t fuck up things with Mitchel. Last night I was thinking of kissing him to see his reaction and to see if he kisses me back. But I know it's not going to go well. “Well sober up Dell, you have a game tonight you can’t miss it.” he said picking up the paper off the ground so I looked at him. “I will be, it's at 6 so I’ll be good by then” again I lie, I’ll be high the whole time most likely, he goes there for his little brother who is in elementary, so I’ll need something to distract myself from Mitchel. 
The hour was over and when I got up to leave Mitchel stopped me and whispered in my ear, “You're better than this Dell, please just don’t go do that stuff no more okay,” his breath warm against my ear. At that moment all I wanted to do was to look at his green eyes and kiss his lips, but I don’t. When he walked away I just stood there as Mr. Man turns off the projector and picks up his tan backpack, then he looks at and says “Ms. Kimberling? Do you need something?” I look over at him then walk away with my face burning with embarrassment. I walked towards my locker when I saw Mitchel in his orange and white hoodie, black sweatpants and his white bookbag leaning against the locker next to mine. He looks at me with the look he gives when he wants to know something, “so wanna get something to eat before the game?” he asked with a calm voice that made my heart beat faster. “ I can't, I have to pick up my brother and his friend to drop them off at his house” I reply “you can join us, there's going to be carpool karaoke” I said hoping that he’ll say yes. 
When Mitchel hopped in the car he looked at me then backseat at the boys in the back as they played with their dino toys and eating snacks that I left in the back. “So you wanna come over and eat something? Sorry I’m just starving.” He said as I turned red, “yea sure but I’ma have to get gas first.”
When we got to his house he went to get ready for the game, I sat on the bed doing my homework. He walked out with his towel around his waist as he  dryed his fluffy hair, my face goes red and I try to hid it, “what the hell are you doing Mich?” I yelled running out of his room, “what?”
After he finally got ready we got into my car and headed to the game.
