When I get to class I make my way to my seat. I hate this class. I hate math it's so boring. I look around and see Marina. Oh my god she's so gorgeous and smiling at her phone. Why is she smiling at her phone what's she looking at ?? I look back and see Jake smiling at his phone too. Oh great, how will I ever compete with Jake. Marina is obviously going to choose him, I mean who wouldn't he's captain of the football team, he's cute and he's an asshole. He's the whole package.
I face forward and focus on the lecture trying hard to not think about Marina and her perfect body and her skin and her voice. My body begins to ache, I want her, I want to touch her, to smell her, to hear her voice. I want all of her.
When the bell rings for 2nd period I jolt out the door and don't look back.
I'm walking across campus to go to history pushing through the crowd and I can feel everyone's eyes on me. I'm sure Jake has told everyone that I'm a freak and they should talk to me.
Suddenly my phone buzzes
It's a text. From marina.
My palms get sweaty and my heart starts beating rapidly.
I open it.
It reads "why did you run out of class so fast? I wanted to talk to you."
How do I respond to this text, what should I do. Unable to think of an excuse I leave her on READ.
The rest of my day goes by quickly I only see Jake in the hall a couple times.
When I enter the class room I see that Jake is sitting next to Marina. Thank god. I couldn't bear look at her after what happened this morning and me leaving her on READ.
I sit in the back of the class room and begin writing my essay.
I feel my phone buzz once again.
It's a text from Marina "Hi :)" it says.
I reply with a simple "Hello."
I set my phone on the desk and continue writing.
My phone buzzes again, immediately.
"What do you want to do tonight? :)"
CRAP. I forgot I was going out with her tonight.
"You can choose.." I reply
"Movie at my place?" Flashes across the screen
"Sure." I don't know how I feel about going to her house.
"See you at 8 :-)"
The bell rings and I make my way to the student parking lot and begin to drive home.
