Young Love

Chapter 4

I woke up and I rolled over to the side of the bed to get closer to my bed side table. I looked at my clock it read: 11:32. I jumped out of the bed and ran downstairs I saw my mom, Sammy and Christa sitting on a couch talking to Mrs. Smith. I just decide that today would be a good idea to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt to school. I ran out of the door with the keys and my bag over my shoulder. I saw Lebraun coming out of the garage in his Range Rover and he saw me, I open my car door and start my car and I make my way to the school.

I walked through the doors and Michael walked up to me with a smile "Hey are you okay from the other night?"

"Yeah sort of." I said hoping he would think that I was actually telling him the truth

"Okay good because if I was you I have no idea how I would live with that kind of embarrassment."

I looked away with my eyes open wide and I bit my lip in shock that he would say something so rude and inconsiderate. Were all the jocks at this school rude? Apparently so. I reply "Yeah I am alright. But I better be going got to get to class." And I walked away an noticed Lebraun in the hallway he had a sad look on his face and I was wondering what was bothering him. Growing up he was so easy to read and now trying to his face was about as confusing as figuring out a trigonometry problem. I wanted so badly to ask him what was wrong and if he wanted to talk about it. But I couldn't be around him he had too much of a pull on me.

The affect he had on me was getting stronger and it was getting harder for me to even look at him without falling in love with him but he wasn't single. It was killing me not to be able to wrap my arms around his neck and look into his eyes and tell him that everything was going to be okay. He has way too much pressure on him! He needs to know that if he just stops to breath he can make it through. But he doesn't know that , he has the weight of his world on his shoulders, I'm not exactly what his world is but he needs someone to take the pressure off of him and that person needs to help him quickly.

I walked into the AP Chemistry classroom before he walks into the classroom, because one whiff of his cologne and I might kiss him. I notice that there is only one table open and it has two chairs available so me and Lebraun are lab partners for the rest of the year. I pull out a pen and a notebook to take notes and I put my bag on the floor. I turn to look at him and he is already staring at me, we have 10 minutes until class actually starts so I decide to talk to him because it is the only thing that I can do to make myself stop thinking about him.

"You know if you don't take a break and breath you are going to crack from the pressure." I say with a caring tone

"I will be fine!" he says with a hint of anger in his tone

"I was only trying to help okay!" I say with anger in my tone as well.

If he is going to raise his voice then so will I. Maybe talking to him was a bad idea. I look at him as he places his head in his hands he is freaking out and I think that I am the only one who is actually seeing that he is about to crack so I do the one thing that I know will work.

"Mr.Scott? Is it okay if me and Lebraun go study for the next hour? He and I already have done tomorrow's homework." Lebraun looks at me shocked with a hint of worry in his expression.

"Yes you may Mrs. Crosby" he says with a smile

"Thank you! Lebraun grab your stuff." And with that statement he smiles, which I haven't seen him do in a month, and Scarlett had this angry expression on her face.

I grabbed his bag and threw it in the back seat along with mine. He was still looking at me with a where are we going expression.

"Look it's a surprise so will you just trust me?" I said with a surprise
