Samantha's POV:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monday, 2:27 pm

I checked my phone again.

2:28

I groaned in annoyance and turned to glare at the wall.

I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and I quickly turned to face them. "What time is it?" They whispered. Without a word, I held up my phone for them to see. "Thanks." They went back to talking to their friends, probably to share the news. I rolled my eyes and went back to looking at the wall.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the bell rang. I jumped out of my seat and bolted out the door. I hurried to my locker to get my bag before the hallways got too crowded.

"Sam!!" I heard a voice yell as I was closing my locker. I turned to see my best friend grinning at me. "Hi Em." I said. "You trying to lose me?" She said playfully, bumping me with her arm lightly. "Of course not," I grinned. "I just can't wait to get out of here. I-" "Hate Mondays." She finished for me with a nod. "Yep." I agreed.

We walked out of the school together and headed toward her car. Emily usually drives me to and from school because my car is old and therefore barely works. I try to only use it when I absolutely have to.

We were intercepted by a guy who looked slightly familiar. Odd. As the light hit his face and illuminated his features, a light bulb went off in my head. Rowan. He's in my Math class right? I wonder what he wants.

He looked me straight in the eye as we walked toward him. "Hi." He looked nervous. I just stared. Em nudged me. "Hi?" I said. He scratched his neck nervously and his eyes flitted toward Emily before quickly looking back at me.

Emily seemed to pick up on it because she leaned in and whispered "get some" in my ear before she turned and ran off toward the car. "BITCH!" I called after her. I could hear her laughter before I turned my focus back to Rowan.

"Uhh... How's it going?" He asked awkwardly. "Alright?" I said, confused. Why is he suddenly interested? "Why are you speaking to me?" I suddenly blurted out. I covered my mouth with my hands as my face turned bright red. "Imsosorry. I don't know why I said that." A small smile appeared on Rowan's face. "It's okay. I get it." He said. "I'm not sure why I'm talking to you, honestly. I first noticed you in my Math class. You're really smart." I felt my face heat up even more if that was possible.

"Thanks." I muttered. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emily waving at me impatiently. "I have to go." I said reluctantly. "Bye!" Rowan called after me as I ran off.

A small smile crossed my face as I neared the car. I opened the passenger's door and got in, slamming the door shut after I was well situated.

"Welllllllllll?" Em said smirking as she dragged out the L. I shoved her slightly. She laughed and started the car before pulling out of the parking lot.
