The next morning I woke up the sound of the alarm clock going BEEP! BEEP! So loud right in my ear! I banged my fist against the clock and killed the sound. I wish school started at like 10 rather than 8 you know, we could focuse much more, and get more sleep!
I got up and freshened up quickly. I chose a nice outfit for him. I wore fancy, black denim shorts, with a blue and white striped shirt that falls off your shoulder. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed...what didn't he like about me? Not trying to be self-centered but, I'm not ugly am I? Sometimes I just wish I could read his mind, it would make life so much easier...I think.
"Good morning!" Natalie said, popping into the bathroom.
"Good morning sweetheart, is mommy taking you to school?"
"Yep! She's changing right now!"
"Is she mad still?"
"I dunno..." was all she could reply.
"OK, well I'm going to go to school now! Love you Natalie,"
I kissed her little lips, and went to get my backpack.
"Im going to walk to school now mom!" I yelled out.
I heard my voice echo through the whole house. She didn't answer...yea, she was mad still.
"See you later...I love you!" I yelled once more.
I heard a little mutter travel through the air, "Love you too..."
A tear went down my face...she didn't saw anything after that.
There, I walked out the door and began towards school.
"Hey Melinda!" was the first thing I heard when I got to school.
"Hey Jen," I smiled.
"You feeling OK?"
I sighed, "Yea, I guess so--"
"OK good! Anyways, guess what! I got us dates after school today! I'm not sure if you know the guy, but his name is Ryan, he's kinda your height, blonder, skater boy hair?" Jenny spoke fast.
"Nah, haven't heard of him,"
"Oh, well he's hot so, I bet you'll like him!"
I faked giggled, "Who's your date?"
"Michael," she batted her eyes.
I smiled, "You two going out?"
"No...yes...I dont know! He said he likes me, and I told him I liked him, but he hasn't asked me out!"
"Oh OK........"
I entered the hallway to my locker. Everyone became silent...they just starred at me.
"That's the girl on the news," I heard whispers all around me.
I was able to hear the lock click open when I did my combination. I felt all eyes on me, like I was going to go a magic trick or something. Quickly, I got my stuff and left.
"Well that went well," Jenny said.
I giggled...the giggle instantly change to a serious face.
Jenny and I saw on a little bricked wall and chatted for a little bit. She was talking bout the guy Ryan, and how she thought we would make a good couple. I knew she was trying to help me get over Anthony, but I just chose not to listen to her. Instead I just stared out into space...I let my eyes search for him...they succeeded.
My heart started pounding fast, I instantly sat up straight and fixed my hair. Then I just watched him...him and his beauitful smile. Soon enough, his eyes caught mine. Those beautiful chocolate, dark brown, hershey eyes. Usually I would just quickly look away, but...this time I didn't--I couldn't. The weird thing was he just stared back...it was like I was trying to look away but his eyes controlled mine. For a while, we just stared at eachother, then I gave him a little smile. He smiled back, and when he smiled I just had the most torturing urge to just kiss him.
