My High School Crush

Chapter 19

It's been a week since dinner with Mr. Johnson. Every morning he always ask me how I'm doing and do I wanna go to lunch with him. Which I declined, Sarah always tells me how crazy I am, but I just need a little more time. Maybe next time I will say yes.

It's Friday afternoon and Sarah and I are sitting on my bed looking old magazines that I have for a while.

"What was Mr. Johnson like in high school?"

I put my magazine down and look up at her. "What?"

"I said how was Mr. Johnson in high school?"

"He was very popular, everybody knew his name."

She sits up and crosses her legs. "How many girlfriends did he had?"

"He only had one. Her name was Ashley Jenkins."

"Are they still together?" 

"No he broke up with her after graduation." I remember it perfectly. It was in the parking lot of the stadium. He told her he couldn't take her attitude anymore. She got so mad she slapped him and ran off towards her brand new car her dad bought.

I was hiding behind my car watching the whole thing with a huge grin on my face.

"So he's single?"

"It's possible."

She nods her head and look at me wiggling her eyebrows. "What?"

"Nothing. It's just that you  liked him and still like him. Your single and he's single. You guys could you know, get together."

I shake my head at her. She's got to be kidding me. I mean yes I still have a thing for him, but us actually begin together, I just don't see it.

"Oh come on Leila your not getting any younger here."

I roll my eyes at her. "Gee thanks"

"I mean you said you want to get married and have kids one day, this could probably be your furture husband."

Me and Matthew married......No.

"Come on give it a shot. You'll never know unless you try."

"I thought you wanted Mr. Johnson?" I ask her.

"No you can have him. I'll just find somebody else."

I don't know if I'm actually going to ask him out but I'll think about it. " So who your high school crush?" Changing the subject from me to her.

"Tommy Smith.....He was so cute. We made out a party once, but it was nothing serious. I remember this one tome we both got drunk and we where in the back seat of his car-" I put my hands over my ears.

"Whoa! Okay to much information." She laughs at me and falls of the bed. I began to laugh at her.

................

It's Saturday and I ask Mrs. Higgins if she could meet me for brunch. She said she would love to catch up with me. I haven't seen her since she left. She had the baby. She gave birth to a beautiful boy name Stephen.

I feel tap on my shoulder and turn around to see Mrs. Higgins with a stroller in her hands. I get up and greet her with a huge.

"How are you?" I ask her.

"I'm good. You?"

"Good." She takes a site across from me. "So how's it been begin a mother?"

I lets out a sigh. "It's hard work ill tell you that, but I wouldn't change it for the world." She looks down at her baby boy who is sleeping in the stroller. "So how's everybody?"

"Their doing good. They miss you."

"Awww I miss them too. What about Mr. Johnson how he?"

I move in my seat to get a little comfortable. "Actually that's what I wanted to talk about.

She gives me at confused look. "Okay?"

I take a sip of my water and ask my question. "Did you know Mr. Johnson before you hired him?"

"My friend daughter knew him. Said they went together for a few weeks. Her name is Ashley."

What? Her friend is Ashley's dad.

"Anyway her father knew i was thinking about retiring  and said he knew someone who i might want. So he introduce us together and the rest is history."

"Yeah I know Ashley."

She raised her eyebrows. "You Dow. How?"

"Because me, Mr. Johnson and Ashley went to high school together. And Mr. Johnson was my high crush."

Mrs. Higgins looked like she just saw a ghost. "Oh Leila I didn't know. Does he remember you?"

"I don't know he hasn't said anything yet."

"Wow. Small world we live in uh." She laughs.

"Yeah small world."

Whoa...... another long chapter lol. By the way Ashley Jenkins is Ashley Benson. I tired to add a picture but I couldn't maybe next time : )
