Chapter One

I heard the tardy bell ring as I shut my locker. I scurried down the hallway, ducking and twisting my way through the crowds of high schoolers and tried to get to my class. Science. My absolute favorite subject, but sadly I share the classroom with a bunch of sweaty jocks and prissy brats.

I arrive into the classroom and take my seat in the very back. The teacher starts talking about Mitosis as I open my book and flip to the right page.

Someone to my right tapped my shoulder and I looked over and Matthew was sitting there smiling and said "hey.. Uh.. Umm.. I was sorta wondering if uh... You were busy tomorrow night?" I felt my stomach turn in circles and butterflies start fluttering. I tried to contain my emotions and just said "no I'm free. Why?" Matthew's big blue eyes brightened and he smiled and said "I was wondering if you wanted to come to the mall with me" "yeah sure that sounds like fun!" I said.

At about that time Mrs. Benson asked me some sort of question about Science to see if I was paying attention, and thanks to Matthew who whispered the answer under his breath I answered correctly and her facial expression was telling me I needed to face the front and quit talking, so I decided that was probably best.

Throughout the rest of the day I couldn't help but think that Matthew asked me out on a date. I kept thinking about the perfect outfit and perfect makeup and perfect hairstyle for the perfect date tomorrow night.
