Life's Great Expectations

Back to school

"Uhh morning already" I spoke to myself as I stretched my arms and legs as far as I possibly could. I still remember the day when Jackson dumped Cleo. That was 2 weeks ago. School was ok and Jackson; and I were getting close.

I got out of bed, slipped on a t-shirt and shorts. I raced down stairs relieved to know that breakfast was always ready for me. " Sweetie hurry up! You slept in!" She said as I ran down the stairs. " Ok mom!" I ate my breakfast as fast as I could and raced out the door "Bye mom! Love you!"I shouted.

30 mins later I was back in school. "Hey Em."

" Why so down?"

"I'm not." I started searching for Jackson.

"Hey I know u and Jackson still haven't made a move on eachother, but maybe you should-" Jackson walked right up to me and Em just didn't get to finish what she was saying.

I just couldn't stop staring into his deep blue eyes. I wanted to hug him and never let go.

"Hey Vic." What was he waiting for? " Vic?" He waited for me to answer. I was off daydreaming in another world.

"Yeah. Sorry just tired." I blushed. He knew that I wanted him. All of a sudden I feel something splash all over me! I step back and see Cleo right there with a plastic cup.

"You little..." I swear my heart was beating so fast that it was trying to escape my cage of lungs.

"Whoops! Sorry, I can be pretty clumsy sometimes! "she started laughing with the rest of the crowd watching me. I couldn't take it. I ran straight outside of school.

"Nice one Cleo!"Em said angrily.Emma ran after me.

" Wait Em. Let me handle this one." Jackson pleaded.

"Go ahead."

I couldn't bear it anymore. The fact that practically the whole school saw what happened and didn't even bother to help me. I felt a tear coming down my face. I hated Cleo so much.

"Hey are u ok?" Jackson looked worried.

"Yeah, i'm fine. "

"No you're not. I'm sorry about what happened, but I want u to know that i'm here for you.

"Whatever... just be honest with me and tell me that you haven't been feeling feelings at all for Cleo."

" I don't. Cleo is a bitch, but she's got a good side to her."

" look I get it if you think she has a good side, but didn't u see what she did to me!?"

" Yes I did. Just-" He cut off what he was about to say." Do u want to go out sometime? " I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Out of no where he actually asks me out. Wow.

I didn't object." Yes I do." I've been waiting for that question a long time.
