One Night

[Chapter 1] -

Hi, so I'm still new with uploading stories. But heres the first chpator to my story. I haven't proofread it yet, but I hope you like it.... if anyone's actually reading this...

Chapter One

I walked down the school hall and I swear people were staring at me. Okay, they always stare at me, but I’m pretty sure I don't have nothing on my face. My outfit doesn’t look weird either—well, at least I don't think. It's just my usual skinny jeans and a basic tank top. What’s wrong with that? I never figured out. 

“How do you do it?” I jumped at the voice of my best friend, Samantha Wiliams; a gorgeous girl with brunette locks. 

“Ah.” I stared at her. “Don’t do that!”

“Do what?”

“Come out of no where!?”

She rolled her eyes. “Whatever. But how do you do it?!”

“How do I do what?!” Yup, it’s one of those moody days for me.

“Get everyone’s attention. I mean I knew they’re probably looking because you, Carrie, are so inconveniently pretty but they do this every single freakin’ day!” 

I didn’t know what she’s talking about but I’m pretty sure she had something weird for breakfast. Because for one to call me pretty is like saying shit doesn’t smell. Well all my friends are insane, they all say the same thing. I never understood though. As much as I would love to believe that I’m one of those clichéd girls who don’t know they’re beautiful, I’m not one of them. What’s so attractive with my way too big mouth, weird-shaped thighs.... I’m already going easy on myself; my hate list could go on...

While Samantha rambles on I feel my phone vibrate in my hands. I looked down and my heart skipped a beat. One Message from Blake Gilson. I’ve been texting him for a while and I’ve started to really like him. I stay up talking to him and he’s the type of guy I’d dream about. But he’s so hard to read, and though we flirt sometimes, I can’t really tell what his stance is. Does he like me back? Or is he playing around? Does he just see me as a friend?

“Yeah quite a friend you are Carrie. Ignoring me and texting... “ Sam rolled her eyes then catch her eyes on something she likes walking down the hall. She licked her lips and tilted her chin slightly downwards. She is such as flirt; god knows how many guys she’s slept with this summer.

“So, you gettin’ anywhere with Blake? Although I seriously don’t see what you like about him. I’d so much rather go for his stepbrother...what’s his name? Ah, Noah.”

“I don’t know, really... He’s spending an awful lot of time with Ashley Russels. She’s really pretty and I have nothing on her.” Ashley has amazing legs, I know it’s weird coming from a girl, but she makes me super self conscious.

“That’s the girl that moved here from Kitchener right?”

I nodded.

“But are you siri? You should look in the mirror sometimes. You, babes, are fucking hot.”

“Hah. I wish.”

“You know what. I don’t even wanna argue, I get tired and it kinda pisses me off that you don’t see what you’ve got.” 

We sat down at a table by the field and stayed silent for a while. 

“So what did Blake say anyways?”

“Oh... I never checked.” I deadpanned.

“I sometimes wonder if you actually like him. You never seem to get excited or anything.”

“Haha, funny. Because I ask myself the same question sometimes.” I laughed. “But hey you were the one being annoying and talking random crap about how I’m pretty.”

“That’s because—” I put my hand out to stop her. I don’t want to go there again, although I kinda brought it up. I sighed and brought out my phone. 

What you up to doll? – B

It’s nice that he at least thinks of I guess. And I tapped away on the keys to reply.

Just sitting around. Having the time of my life. - C

I smirked and looked up and see Sam looking over my shoulders and glared at me. I laughed, and patted her on the shoulders apologetically.

Haha missing my company? ;) Come over after football practice for a movie?  – B

You wish! I’ll be in the library – C

“So how’s you and coffee guy anyways?” Looking up from my phone.

Sam fell for the barista at the new café near the mall and she still hasn’t told him...which was odd for someone bold like Sam. 

Sam blushed. “I’m helping out at the café after school.” 

“Awww, my baby’s all grown up. Look at her blush!” It was adorable to see my bold, playgirl friend go head over heels for a guy. 

~~~

I exhaled loudly as I walked out of my English class. More crap called homework to do. I walked to the library to wait for Blake. It felt odd that I wasn’t particularly excited about going over to his place. In my head I like him, and for the first few weeks my heart knew the same. I’m actually not exactly sure anymore.

I walked into the library and surprise surprise, it was pretty much empty besides the usual people. You know. I walked over to a table by the corner and dropped my bag lightly onto a chair and walked around in search for materials for my English essay.

I sang #Beautiful by Mariah Carey in my head because, come on, she is hands down the most amazing and sexy singer. I didn’t realized I had sang it aloud until a voice came from around the corner.

“Yeah you should definitely keep your singing within the shower room. You sound like a chipmunk”

I turned around and met eyes with Noah, the equally hot stepbrother.

“Yeah nice seeing you too Noah. And I so do not sound like a chipmunk” I narrowed my eyes slightly. 

“Haha keep telling yourself that.”

I rolled my eyes. “What are you doing here anyways? Never occured to me that you were the type to read.”

“I’m not. I’m just killing time. You coming over tonight right? I could give you a ride.” He said picking up a book and flipping through its pages not once looking up.

“Yeah, but I told Blake I’d wait for him here.”

“I’ll text him. Come on. You don’t look like you want to spend anymore time in school anyways.”

“That’s true though,” I laughed lightly. “Alright then.”

Noah looked up from the book and locked eyes with me for a few seconds. Before shining his killer smile at me. 

I swear for a moment he was glowing a little.
