The Forgotten Minds

Pity

I was currently sitting in class with a smile on my face,  something that I could never dream of doing without feeling some type of strain or pain hidden with in each muscle. It was all because of Charlie and that damn kiss, it being my first kiss last night can leave some sort of imprint on me and for some damn reason it's all I'm thinking about. 

I can now think of untroubled thoughts effortlessly because he helped me and everyday I spend with him, my anxiety isn't so bad and I don't feel utterly miserable. He made classes even better than they were before, before it was just a way to escape but now I'm respecting them a bit more and enjoying the time with the little friends I have.

It was first period and I was sitting down in my chair drawing an odd doodle that now looks like a dog with spy glasses on. As I was pressing the pencil against the white sheet on paper in my notebook I felt a presence leaning on the table in front of me.

"What happened?" Summer tilted her head to follow up the question she asked.

"Nothing" I smiled, "Something definitely happened and I'm your best friend so I need to this shit" She said in a joking manner. "I promise nothing happened" I cringe inside from just lying to her to her face, but I don't know how she'll take the news if I tell her about the kiss. 

"It's about Charlie isn't it?" She squinted her eyes as if she was glaring at me. I didn't say anything, I didn't want to lie. "I knew it! I knew you did something with him and it was recent because I can see it on your face" she said standing up suddenly pointing at me before she continued "Ok what was it? Did you guys go on a date? Did you kiss? Did you lose your virginity? Come Aeron tell me!"

"Ok fine, we um, we um, ah we like um..."

"I'm going to lose my mind if you don't tell me, spit it out already" She got a little closer "I think you already lost it" I giggled at my lame joke. "Stop being a smart ass and tell me" I looked down at my pencil.

"Wekissedlastnightatmyhouse" I blurted making it sound like all one word from how fast I said it, by the look on Summer's face I could tell that she heard every (kind of) word. "I knew it! I'm so proud of you! You didn't waste your first kiss on some douchebag, you scored with a hot Australian! I always knew you could do it. That's it, we're having a sleepover at my place tonight. Ya know, to celebrate and shit, we can watch horror movies and eat popcorn and pizza!" 

"You seem more excited then me, and yeah sure on the way home with you I can just go to your house instead of mine" I looked back down at my notebook staring at my creation. "Great" She turned around when she heard the door open. "Looks like your boyfriend is coming right this way, I'll give you guys you're alone time. Bye babe" she turned around walking with pride back to her group of friends with her creme colored dress moving side to side.

Charlie came over and pulled out the chair lingering next to me, "Hey" He said waving his hand, he looked at my drawing that was still sitting on my lap as I twirled my pencil. "Nice doodle" He pointed to the notebook. "Thanks, I really suck at drawing but when I'm bored I do it"

"In my opinion it looks great, but considering the most I can draw are stick figures so my standards aren't that high" I laughed "You can barely write your name making it so people can read it, stick figures seem like your type of level on drawing"

He placed his hand over his heart as if he was hurt "That hurt, first you say I giggle like a school girl and now this? I can't take this kind of abuse" He said with each word dripping in sarcasm. "There's nothing wrong with telling the truth" I said with a with a laugh.

"i'm done, I should just go hang out with Luke from now on" He smiled, he was being sarcastic again. Luke and Charlie had become really good friends since he came here, sometimes he'll come say hi to me and then just go and talk to Luke. Luke seemed okay I guess, he was really popular with the girls in school because people describe him as 'dreamy' and 'hot'. I mean he was attractive but I wouldn't go as far as dreamy or hot. He had brown hair that formed a quiff and green eyes that could look right through you but again, they weren't 'dreamy' in my opinion.
