Him.

An unexpected arrival

I sat in the orchestra room with my friend Angelica, a few minutes left of class. "I'm feeling so horrible right now.." She looked at me and said "why?" I said "it's just.. I'm tired of feeling this crushing pressure on me, it hurts. I can't get rid of this depression." She said "well, why don't you move back over to your moms house?" I said "I might, that sounds like a good idea, but I still love my dad." She shrugged, and we packed up then moved to the next classroom. When I set my stuff down, the bell rang and I got my notebook out to take notes. I heard the door knock, then the teacher went to open it. I saw a student standing at the door, and he handed the teacher a slip then walked to the desk the teacher pointed at for him to sit in. He sat behind me, and I felt miserable, wondering if he was going to start kicking my seat or maybe even be a noisy chewer if he chewed gum. The teacher handed papers to the kid in front of me, then passed it back to me. I passed a paper back to him and he grabbed it. I started writing notes down, then he whispered for my attention. I turned around and said "what?" And he said "can I have a pencil please." I said "sure." And gave him a mechanical one. He said "thanks." And I nodded. I thought I saw something weird in his eyes, but I ignored them and kept writing notes. When everyone was done writing notes, he asked if he could copy the last few of them. I gave him my paper, then I got a glimpse of his eyes and facial features. I saw he had yellow eyes that glowed in the dark, and I asked him in a whisper "are those contacts?" He paused, then nodded. He looked like he was busy, so I left him alone and continued to participate in the class activities. He glanced at me, then asked me what my name was. I said "Sam, why?" He said "just curious." I said "oh, alright." And decided to play around with my tablet. When I heard backpacks zip up, I put my papers up as well. I sat there until the bell rang, then darted out of the classroom with my longboard. I felt something slip out of my pocket, but I glanced back and saw nothing. He noticed I dropped my phone, then picked it up and followed me.

I put my board down, then nearly pushed on my foot to go but I heard someone calling after me. I looked around, and saw him walk up to me and he handed me my phone saying "forgetting something?" I said "oh uh.. Thanks." And he nodded. He paused, then said "I like your board." I smiled and said "thank you." And he added "I skateboard as well." I felt so nervous around him I couldn't talk without messing up. I said "really?" And he said "yup. Well, your welcome." I smiled and nodded, then stood there thinking of what to do, then I decided to follow him. He knew I was following him, then he said "sorry for not telling you but I'm Jason." I said "nice to meet you." He asked me where I was going with my board, then I said "oh, I was going to go home and eat lunch, since the cafeterias food is shit." He smiled in amusement, then I admitted to myself in thought that I had a extreme crush on him. He said "ah, I understand. But.. Do you live close to here or something?" I said "yeah, I live in that neighborhood over there." I pointed at the apartments south of the school building, and he said "ohh, alright." I smiled and said "yup.." And he said "can I come with you? I'm just curious." I said "ahh.. I don't know. I mean, I don't really know you, plus I just met you like almost 2 hours ago, no offense." He said "oh I completely understand, but my name is Jason Kirthancy, I'm 17 at the moment and yes, I have a car." I said "well.. Alright, I'm Samantha Riley, I'm 15." He said "so you're a freshman?.." He had a concerned look on his face, then I corrected him saying "sophomore." He said "oh.. I'm a junior." I said "no fair.." And he chuckled in a teasing way. I started walking and said "you coming?" He said "yup." And started following me. I thought to myself score one for me, I made friends with someone I like! he paused in the road, then said "I don't really feel like walking, can I drive?" I said "it depends..." and he said "oh come on, why hesitate?" I said "well- I just.." he tried encouraging me "come on, what could go wrong?" I said shyly "I just don't know if I can trust you, because I'll be in a car with you and nowhere else to go if you try anything." he said "I can take you out to fast food places though, and plus I don't do that shit." I sighed, then smirked and said "fine.." and he smiled then pulled his keys out of his pocket. He walked up to a mustang, and I was quite surprised. He said "just throw it in the back seat, and nice, isn't it?" I grinned and nodded, and he smiled then sat down in the drivers seat. I placed my board in the backseat, then he started the car and I sat down in the passenger side seat. He added on to his other statement "and it costed me a pretty penny too." I said "I can imagine." then he pulled out of the parking space looking in both directions. I thought to myself this has to be a joke.. I know for a fact that someone like him wouldn't even bother to be friends with me. I said as he drove to Arby's "so.. why would you bother being friends with me? I'm like.. that one blonde girl who dreams too much and doesn't-" he interrupted "because you were the only one that actually helped me and you were a lot more nicer than the snitches there." I said "oh, ok. But do you think I'm too weird?" he said "of course not, you're the only person I at least know a little in this whole school." he pulled into the drive-through, then ordered. He pulled up to the window, then gave them a couple of bills. They handed him the bag of food, then he told me to hold it and check it while he hurried on back to school. I was really impressed with his driving skills, unlike all the other young men who had a sports car back at school, how they would show off and speed through the street like a dumbass. He pulled into the parking lot, then parked in the same spot as last time. I gave him the food, then we sat and ate in his car. I told him "this is the first time I've ever done this, and in a mustang." he laughed with his mouth closed, then said "well, if you ever want me to, just ask me and I'll take you with me." I said "awesome!" and he smiled. I asked him "this may be an awkward question but are we really friends?" he said "well, do you wish to be friends?" I said "y-yeah." he said "alright then, your awkward question is answered." I rolled my eyes and he mimicked me. I elbowed him, and he chuckled. We finished our burgers, then he pulled his phone out from his pocket and gave it to me. I asked him "what's this for?" and he said "to add you you dummy." I said "oh!" and put my number in the space. I put my name as well, then clicked on the save button. I gave him his iPhone back, then I said "text me just so I know it works." he typed a letter and sent it to me. I felt it buzz in my pocket, then said "yup it works." he sighed, then pressed a button on the radio and it turned into a mini touch screen computer. I said "woah! what kind of mustang is this?" he said "it's better than a Shelby, I can tell you that." I said "wow.. how fast can it go?" he said "300 miles per hour, but I don't really ever use it." I said "damn that's fast." and he nodded. I checked the time on my phone, and it was almost time to head back inside. I told him we should probably go back inside, and he said "alright." and we grabbed our stuff, then headed inside. When we walked in, I noticed a few girls kept glancing at him. We walked past my friend Brook, who has always wondered why nobody wanted to date me, but she stared at me and walked on with a smile. He pulled out his schedule, then looked at it and I said "ooh can I see your schedule?" he said "sure." and handed it to me. I looked at it, and laughed. He said "what, is it a bad schedule?" I said "no, you just have every class with me except for 6th and 2nd hour." he said "what? no way." and asked for my schedule. He looked at the two, then said "well holy damn, you're right." he put his schedule back in his bag, and I put mine back as well. The bell rang, and we walked to 4th hour. He sat in the desk next to me, since the teacher had to rearrange a few desks anyways, and I said hi to my other 3 friends to the left of me.

The teacher handed out a paper about a project, and I felt slightly overwhelmed already. I looked at Jason secretly, temptation to stare at his features defeating me. I looked back at my paper and wrote down then answers, then when I was finished, Jason and Destiny both wanted my answers. I chose to give my paper to Destiny, and he jokingly said "aw no fair.." I smiled at him and felt bad, but he nudged me and kept working on his paper. When the bell rang, she gave me my paper back and I put it away. I quickly zipped up my bag and walked out with him, and I saw my other crush. I thought about Jason, then dumped the idea of dreaming about being with the other guy. Jason was all I could think of and care about, and when we reached our 5th hour, Mr. Mudd told him he could sit anywhere at the moment. He chose the desk to the right of me, and as soon as we finished taking notes, he joined in on a conversation with Collin, my crush. I felt a little heartbroken inside, because what if he made friends with him and started to slowly push me out of his friendship? I sighed and put my notes up, then started doodling. People always say that my doodles are masterpieces, but I say they really are doodles. When it was time to pack up, I put my paper up and the bell rang. I watched him dash out of his seat to leave, and I shook my head while feeling like it was all a waste of time. When I grabbed my board and walked out the door, he walked up to me and spooked me. I said "don't do that!" With a grin and he laughed. I told him what and where my sixth hour was when he asked me, and he nodded then headed off to class. During 6th hour I kept texting him the whole hour, sometimes grinning. When class ended, he met me outside the classroom. He walked with me to the orchestra room, and said "so are you going to walk home?" I said "no, my dad is coming to pick me up to go to his house." Jason said "wait- you have divorced parents?" I said "yup." And he said "oh, alright." And I got my instrument. I got a text from mom saying "walk home, dad will be late." I froze, then said "ok nevermind, I guess I am walking home." He said "sweet! Hey uh.. I was thinking, would you like me to drive you home?" I said "I guess, how will you get past traffic?" He said "its not that bad." And I said "ok then." And I followed him to his car. I shoved all my stuff in the backseat, then he started the car and we shut our doors. He drove me home, with my help of course, and he said "so this is where you live?" I said "yeah." And he said "nice." I smiled, then got out of his car and saw moms car drive up slowly. She parked in the driveway, then got out and said "Sam?" I said "yeah...?" She said, concerned "who's this?" I said "oh its my friend Jason!" She walked up to his car, then he introduced himself to her. She said "alright then." And I said bye to him. He said out the window "see you tomorrow!" I smiled and waved, then went inside with mom. She said "so, are you guys best friends or just friends? Just curious." I said "were I guess best friends." She nodded, then I went to my room. I got a text from him saying "hey." I replied back with a smile "yeah?" he texted me "whats up? :)" I texted back "nothing really.. about to do some digital art." he texted back "whats that?" I texted him a picture I did, and he called me. I answered it, then he said "girl, you have talent. I- you never told me you could make masterpieces!" I blushed, then he said "what else can you do?" I said "well.. I play the violin, keyboard, simple game retexturization stuff, and.. that's it." he said "how did I not know you are multitalented-" I added in "I also have heterochromea." he said "what?" and I informed him that it was 2 eye colors, but I had 3. He said "well look at miss special here." I giggled, and he said "well, can I ask you something?" I said "yeah?" he said with a hint of curiosity "do you think you can draw me a picture?" I said "it depends." he said "well, I was wondering if you could try and draw what I look like to you, personality wise." I said "but I just met you today!" he said "so! I just want a picture from you jeez." we laughed, and I said "alright fine, gosh." he said "oh hush you." and we talked until it was time for me to get ready for bed. I felt my depression starting to come, so I tried to ignore it. My attempts to fight it were pitiful apparently, so I texted him "you awake still?" he texted "yup" and I typed "do you have messenger" he sent "yeah, whats your FB?" I texted him my profile, and he messaged me. I checked my tablet, then typed in "can I ask you a question?" he sent "whats up?" I typed in "are we friends or close friends?" he must have been typing a story, because it took him a while to respond. He typed "we can be close friends, just.. nothing more right now. I've got a lot of shit going on in my life and I don't really want to go any further with friendships, if you know what I mean" I texted "ohh I see. Well, if were close friends can I bullshit with you?" he said "I guess." I typed and typed and typed a conversation with him until I eventually got my spirits back up, then we started sending selfies. He sent a face that made me cry while laughing in bed, then I texted him in a joking way "I dare you to take a picture right now of more than just your face c:<"
