Equations of Love

Chapter 6

*Skipping ahead to next week*

Blade and I had been working on this project for a week now. We got some of the work done but me being me, I would go home and get on the internet. Sometimes during our lunches, we would go to the library and get some work done.

It was time to get up and get ready for school, my alarm waking me up from a wonderful dream. Ugh, why? Always on the best part, I groaned. I remained lying in my bed for a few more minutes until my mother's loud, New York trained voice echoed through the house.

"I'm up!", I yelled. I sat up and swung my legs over the bed, my feet dangling inches above the floor. I hopped down and gathered up my towel and other bathroom items and made my way to my mom's room, hearing my little brother Jonathan already in the shower closest to me.

"Good morning, mommy", I greet my mom. I peck her her cheek, her returning the greeting as I enter her bathroom. Ten minutes after showering, I got out of the shower and entered the cold, crisp, morning air, wishing I could've stayed in longer.

My brother had left for school already by the time I had climbed out. I wrapped the towel around my body and looked at my reflection in the mirror. This is what I deal with allday, everyday. My bland, short hair. My average brown eyes. Average teeth. I'm just... Average.

I continued getting prepared for school. I put on my black skinny jeans with a studded white flowy top. Then I slipped on my black Toms and bag. I looked at the time and began rushing, seeing that I had less than two minutes to be dressed and out of the door.

Grabbing a poptart and my bookbag, I rushed out the door. " I'm leaving", I shout to my mom as I exit the house.

"Alright. Y'all have a good day at school", she responded, referring to me and my bus stop buddy Jennifer.

" Oh my god have you seen this new picture of the boys?", Jennifer greets me, showing a recent picture of world-famous boyband One Direction.

"Yeah, I saw it last night. They're so hot", I respond lovestruck. I hear the screeching of tires and turn my head to see the bus pulling down the street. I sling my bookbag onto my shoulder as the bus makes a screeching stop in front of us.

We enter the bus, sitting in an empty seat and continue disussing the five British and Irish singers that had stolen our hearts as the bus made its designated stops. When we finally got to school, we waited as the 30 or more high school students exited the bus. Once it was clear, we followed the rest and climbed down the bus steps.

Walking through the hallway to meet up with our group of friends, we continued talking. " Hey look there's Kevin!", I whisper excitedly as the hottest boy in school passed by, laughing with his friends.

"Where?", she asks, looking around. I nod my head towards the tall, hispanic, beautiful boy who attends our school. She looked in his direction and began staring. We continued to glance up at him while walking pass him, imagining all the things we would love for him to do to us.

We approached our friends, greeting them with 'hey's and whatnot. "Heylo", I say to Lenice and Mariah.

"Hey person!", responds Lenice.

"Wassup!", repsonds Mariah. We chuckle and begin talking about random things we found entertaining.

"Ugh that stupid project for Mr. Myers is hard. Did you get a lot done yet?", I question Lenice.

"Eh, kinda. I still have to print some stuff out so I was going to the library after lunch. Travis hasn't even been doing his freakin' part so I don't even know if it will be done on time", she replies, referring to her partner.

"I know right. Me and Blade still have like five things left to do. I might just stay afterschool today to work on it.", I reply. Lenice and Mariah simultaniously gave me a look that said they knew what I was thinking. "What?"

"We all know your taking forever on this project so you can spend more time with your precious Blade", says Mariah. I look down embarrassed.

"So not true", I exclaim. They laugh, causing them to get a few strange looks. I roll my eyes and grin. They're right. I am holding off on the project to stay around Blade. It's the only way he talks to me without a snarky comment.

The bell rang seconds later but we remained in our spots as the other students walked past us in a blur. I noticed Blade and Micciah over in front of class, Blade facing towards me and my friends. I noticed he would glance over at me from time to time.

Yay. Pulling on my heart strings again today. Just what I need...
