Your Ordinary Love Story

Chapter Two: Warming Up

I winced once the bell rung to go back to class. Again, I waited to be the last. What? Just because I'm popular doesn't mean I can't have me time. I strolled against the naive wall paint, the walls were freezing, but, it's spring. My heels made the most satisfying of noises, the clicks on the tiles was such a somehow relaxing noise for me. I spun my dark brown hair into curls, all I thought about was Julie commenting on my green eyes, she said she was super jealous, but, her eyes are so pretty, they're like a deep hazel. After school I was constantly lost in thought, but, I couldn't remember what I was thinking about when I came to. It was like I blacked-out every few minutes. I don't even know what's gotten into me.
     After yet another black-out I mysteriously slipped into, I was shaken by Mason. I thought he was trying to get my attention, but immediately he apologized, I turned back to realize it was Ethan's friend Vincent. He is the literal definition of how to be a douche, his pants sag, he checks out his own abs, and only wears sagging jeans, Jordan's, and beanies. Like, what are you trying to convince to the world, oh I know, it's probably how much of a douchey whore you are. I was pissed, he really had no fucking reason to push Mason. "Hey, whore-to-go, why the fuck did you do that?!"
     He glanced up into my eyes, "Oo, the girl talks, so, what's your name gorgeous." I froze trying to hold back the blush, he's a tough guy, doesn't hit on too many girls, and whenever I get a compliment, even the tiniest ones, I blush like I don't know how to limit the makeup that goes on my face. He's a douche, but he's still a cute douche. "So, guessin you don't got a name then?" I flinched and accidentally hit Mason in the, um, anyway. H cringed, and Vincent made a mixed of a scared and thinking face. "Dayum!" "Oh, yeah, oops, anyways, the name's Scarlett, surprised you didn't know." He blushed and had a moment of realization, "Oh, so you're the queen goddess." Again, I had to fight back my blushing, had to look strong, "Well, clearly, you're Vincent, huh?" He smirked effortlessly, "She knows my name." There was a moment of silence before I began walking away, he trailed after me.
     "Hey Scarlett." I tried not to get caught up in his games, "Can you just stop talking to me?" He looked at the ground, then back at me, more specifically, my cheeks, then my lips, "What, is it illegal now?" He took a brief pause to stand behind me a little, "You know, is it?" "Vincent, what are you talking about?" He began to catch up a little bit, "Is it illegal for a guy to talk to his crush nowadays?" I froze and, this time I couldn't stop blushing, "Wait, you have a crush on me?" He pursed his lips and nodded. "Why else would I try to get your attention?" Just then, I started walking next to Vincent, Mason sped up, I think he was trying to get away from me and Vincent.
     Vincent walked me the rest of the way home, as we were saying bye my brother busted out of the door, "Hey, go away." He said this with a sarcastic smile. I ushered Vincent off and walked into my house, as I entered the living room I saw someone on our couch. "Oh fuck no!" It was none other than the piece of shit known as Ethan, yay. "Oh, hey Scar." My eyes rolled away in the most exaggerated way I could do it. "It's Scarlett, thank you very much. "Ok, Scarlett, I wanted to actually say sorry." My brother tucked me under his arm, "Don't you even dare get too close." All Ethan did was smile, "Don't worry, I would never feel that way about her, Shawn." He gave a fake mumble in approval. "Look, Scarlett, I wanted to say sorry. I know I can be a total dick to you and your friends sometimes, but, it was only to get close to you." Shawn barged in, he widened his eyes and shot a soul-taking stare at Ethan. "As I was saying, get close to you because I think we would be good friends." Shawn gave the side eye to Ethan as he shuffled out of the room, "suuuuuure...."
     I began to realize, Ethan was actually being sincere for once. I better enjoy it now before it runs out, he only has so much brain power. After a long talk filled with, honest-seeming apologies from Ethan, he escorted himself out of my house. I noticed, ok, so maybe he isn't too bad. I looked out my living room wall-sized window seat, and I began to blush, just then I realized, I've blushed for three guys in less than a day. I think I'm torn, between, three guys. What the fuck have I gotten myself into, I'm known for breaking hearts, not falling for guys. *facepalm*
