Becoming Fearless

Chapter 6

~ Chapter 6 ~

I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. Was all I could think as I ran down the long, empty hallway. I checked my watch. 9:45 a.m. School started at 8:30. I was so freaking late. I woke up late, because my alarm hadn't went off because my phone was dead because I forgot to charge it because I had so much homework last night and had just fallen asleep. So technically this was the teacher's fault for giving me so much homework!

Thud. Thud. Thud. Was the sound of my feet hitting the hard floor as I jogged across the cold floor into someone. Yes, into someone. "Ouch!" said the person. Well, not just any person, this was the guy! The whole hit-in-the-head-with-an-eraser-who-I-was-falling-for-and-incredibly-cute guy. 

"Oh! I'm SO sorry, I hit you in the head with my eraser, and now I body slam you in the hallway..." I babbled.

"Haha, It's okay" He said smiling.

"I'm just so klutzy sometimes.." I started again.

"Well, maybe alittle, but I think it's cute.." He said, locking his eyes on mine. As he looked at me with his beautiful hazel eyes, I couldn't help but think 'dang! this guy is cute!'. 

"You...You do?" I stuttered. My heart was beating at like, a million beats a minute.

"Yeah," he said, breaking his gaze. "What are you doing in the hallway so late?"

"Oh...Uh...I had...er....come to school late..." I said lamely.

"Haha, me too!" He said chuckling. He had a cute laugh.

"Well...I gotta go get my hall pass I guess..." I said.

"Oh...Well see you around.." he replied, a look of disappointment flickering in his eyes momentarily.

I ran into the nearest girl's restroom and looked myself over. I was a hot mess! I was in such a rush this morning that I didn't bother to pick out a specific outfit. I had on a grey t-shirt that said NERDS RULE in big neon letters that went to my mid-thighs, black leggings, and red flats. On top of that, my  hair was in a messy bun, and I didn't have time for contacts so I was wearing my glasses. I looked like leader of the geek squad. This was a fashion emergency. I pulled out my phone to text Jennifer...but then remembered she was at a doctor's appointment. Ugh. I guess I would just have to deal with my nerdy appearance. I hoped I didn't give Alex the wrong signals.

Man, late again! My mom had actually forgotten I had school! She said she "thought it was a holiday" Yeah right. Parents these days.... But at least I got to see Annabelle. She comes walking down the hall all cute and nerdy. She looked like she just woke up, in a pretty kind of way, if there is such a thing. I wanted to just pin her against the locker and tell her I loved her. Which, I couldn't really do. I don't even think she has feelings for me...she seemed like she didn't really wanna talk, or maybe she just wanted to get back to class I don't know. She is so beautiful and perfect. In math class we talked again! Our conversation consisted of me asking if she had an extra pencil when I had 12 in my backpack, and seeing if she got x=5.7 for the answer to number 23. She didn't talk that much, and I don't know if she was nervous, shy, or just annoyed. I was trying to think of ways to get her to give me her number, and it wasn't going so well. I had never thought/felt this way about a girl before, and it was something I didn't know how to deal with. I decided I could only do one thing...text Nick and ask him for advice. I slid my phone out of my pocket and texted him a quick message. Within seconds he had replied...

Samuel: Nick?? I never thought I would say this but ... I need your help.

Nick: Girl probs?

Samuel: How did you know?!

Nick: Eh, just a wild guess. What do you need?

Samuel: Well...there's this girl...that I really like...and I don't know how to get her to give me her number.

Nick: Easy. Just use a smooth pick-up line.

Samuel: What's a pick-up line?

Nick: It's like a funny conversation opener that's meant to let the girl know you're interested in her. Try: Without you, my life is like a broken pencil, pointless. Want to tape this pencil back together? Text this number.

Samuel: Okay...but I don't think I can say it in real life. I think I'll write a note and put it in her locker. 

Nick: Good luck, btw, our Black Talons meeting is tomorrow at the place Zach showed you. Be there.

Samuel: Haha, I'll try to make it

Nick: No. Not try. You will be there. No questions asked man.

Samuel: Right!

Nick: Btw...who's this girl you're trying to impress?

Samuel:  Actually...it's Annabelle.

Nick: Didn't I TELL YOU TO BACK OFF FROM HER?! DUDE SHE'S MINE I CALLED HER. AFTER IM DONE WITH JENNIFER SHE'S MINE!!!!

Samuel: Nick, sorry dude I didn't know you had feelings for her..

Nick: No. How 'bout we let HER decide at Zach's party? Let's not fight.

Samuel: Yeah non violence! Ha..Ha...........Never mind. Okay, she can choose.

Nick: Yeah man ;) It was nice you tried though, you'll find another girl one day. Cya at the meeting.

Samuel: Cya..

I can't believe Nick is going for Annabelle! He has good looks, charms, and talent! What do I have? Nothing compared to him. I can't loose Annabelle to Nick, Lord knows he'll have another girlfriend in a week. I don't want him to tear out her heart and then stomp on it too. I don't want to be selfish but I am. I want Annabelle to be treated right. And the only way I can be sure of that is if I ask her to be my girlfriend. But... I don't even know if she knows my name. Maybe I'm just the annoying guy who sits beside her asking random questions during class. I don't know. What I do know is that I actually put the note in her locker. And what I also know is that I regret it. Bemuse the first thing I see when I round the corner in the hallway is Nick. With Annabelle. And it appears as though he's giving her CPR. While standing up against a locker.
