Head over Heels - A Wesley Stromberg ( Emblem3 ) Fanfic

Chapter 9

I groaned as I heard the unbearable sound of my alarm blaring in my ear. It was 5:15am and I snoozed my alarm, turning over to comfortably lay on my back and shut my eyes. I hate Mondays. School starts at 7:30 and I usually leave at 7. I had to take a shower so I got up 45 minutes earlier than usual, which is 6:00am. I waited the ten minutes before my phone deafeningly screamed again and I completely shut it off, throwing my comforter off of me. I dangled my feet over the edge and yawned, stretching out my arms. I sat there for a minute, fighting to keep my eyes open before standing up and walking into my bathroom. I closed the door and turned on my light, squinting as my eyes adjusted to the immediate light. I lazily stripped from my clothes and turned on the water, feeling it every few seconds. When I felt it was about the right temperature, I stepped in and closed the curtains, letting the water run down my body.

It was 6:26 and I was dressed in black jeans with a slightly tight solid purple low-cut shirt and the sleeves reached the crevices of my elbows. I slipped on my white flip-flops before sitting in front of my desk like usual. I was leaving my hair natural today, which I didn't mind since I loved my natural hair. I grabbed my makeup bag and grabbed my mascara, brushing the soft end along my lashes. I debated on whether or not I should put eyeliner on as I looked at myself, tapping my finger against the wood. I found it buried at the bottom, underneath all of my other useless makeup I've never used. I pulled the cap off and twisted it, watching the black tip rise from the tube. I drew a thin line directly above my top lashes and along my waterline, mirroring my actions on both sides. When I finished, I stood up, turning sideways to check myself out. I smiled at how much I was beginning to accept my body, it felt good. I grabbed my perfume and pumped a few sprays along my body and in my hair before grabbing my bag and slinging it over my shoulder. I gripped my books and walked out of my room, checking down the dark hallway. My mom must've came home because her bedroom door was slightly open. I walked downstairs and placed my books on the kitchen table, grabbing a granola bar. Emily was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone as she waited for me. I looked over my shoulder to see it was 6:48; we still have ten minutes. I lifted my bag and placed it on top of my books, taking out my phone. I sat down next to her and pressed the home button, watching as I got the usual Instagram updates, Facebook updates and twitter updates. I slid my thumb across the screen, typing in the 4-digit passcode and opened twitter. I scrolled through random tweets I didn't care much about as I finished my granola bar. I stood up once again, walking into the kitchen to throw out my wrapper before locking my phone and throwing it in my bag. "Are you ready to leave?," I asked as I slung my bag over my shoulder and grabbed my books. She simply nodded, locking her phone and standing from the couch. She grabbed her books and walked out the front door, not saying one word. Emily is not a morning person, whatsoever. She's so quiet, unlike her usual self. I followed her out the door, locking it as I closed it and walked down the pathway. I heard the faded chirps of the birds around us as the sun was almost fully risen. She waited for me to unlock the car before jumping into the passenger seat and laying her books in her lap. I jumped in the opposite side, grabbing my seatbelt and locking myself in. I started the ignition and lightly pressed the gas pedal, making my way to school.

* Wesley's POV *

I looked back and forth down the hall for Jennifer as she was nowhere in sight. I lightly huffed before making my way to first period. I stepped through the doorway and Mr. Anderson greeted me as usual, giving me the normal half-smile and a single nod. I smiled back politely before turning into my row. Oh shit, I forgot Shaina's in this class. She was dressed in short shorts and a crop top that showed almost her entire stomach; more revealing than usual. I laughed quietly to myself as her and her clique of witty friends kept turning around to look at me, rolling their eyes as they turned back. The bell rang as I took a deep breath and rested my head in my hand, hoping today wouldn't be another boring, shitty day.

* Jennifer's POV *

Like Friday, today flew by with no problem. I completely forgot about Bryan since my mind was drunk off the thoughts of Wesley and he walked me to most of my classes, since we have first, third, fourth, and seventh period together. The only class Wes and I had together was ninth, which kind of sucked. I stepped gracefully into the classroom and immediately looked in the direction where Wesley sits and he was fixated on his phone, his thumb gliding along the screen. I proceeded towards my seat and obnoxiously placed my books on the desk, asking for his attention. His eyes darted up past his phone and he smiled the second his eyes met mine, "hey." I smiled, "what's up," watching as my sister walked in, laughing at something her friend probably said. She quickly made her way over to me, still slightly laughing from the reminisce of whatever sparked it. I turned my body in my seat as she walked past me, facing her the entire way around. My vision flickered over in Wesley's direction and his eyes wandered back and forth between my sister and I, a small smile upon his lips. He then made a pensive face before getting up, grabbing his backpack with him. He made his way around before settling in the only other empty seat which was next to me. "Do you mind?," he asked playfully in a sarcastic tone which caused me to chuckle. "Yes, I do," I joked back, going along with his little game. He tends to do this a lot and I liked playing along with it, it showed his humorous side. He shrugged his shoulders, "well, it looks likes you're just gonna have to deal with me." He smiled contagiously, causing the corners of my mouth to curl immediately. God he's so perfect. Is it possible to like someone so much but you've only known that person for 3 days? I'm beginning to believe that answer is yes.
