Ivory

Basically Together

My eyes flilnched open, and I whipped my head over to glance at the clock. It was already tweleve.. Shit, I still have homework! I sat up, and twisted my hair into a bun, heaving my backpack up on to my bed, and pushing my lasses up the bridge of my nose. I quickly did my homework, and then heaved by backpack off my bed, and took off my glasses, just now noticing my phone buzzing on my nightstand. I clicked on the new messages and read the two that I had.

The first was from Clause..'ivory im sry tht u saw me w tht othr girl i dnt like her' I sighed and deleted the message, and opened the next one too, from Craig, it was something about this weekend. I closed my phone, this time turning it off. I rubbed my face, falling back on to my bed. I didn't get it. I broke up with Aden? Didn't that mean that we were basically together? Or maybe he was just joking this whole time? God, so much had changed in just a week.. I used to always do my homework right away, and earlier on the bus? that wasn't me.. And now, Craig? I was becoming shallow, it was bad, then again, I was becoming a bit more popular, sure, no one really talked to me, but everyone talked about me. Ugh, I just wanted to sleep. I laid back, and closed my eyes again, and shortly, I was asleep again.

I sat up again, and this time shoved the blankets off my legs, and stood up, stretching. I checked the clocka gain, and it was only 6. I turned on my curling iron, and then went to the bathroom, washing my face, and brushing my teeth. I wakled back to my room, and opened my draws. I grabbed my favorite pair of dark wash skinnies, a lose fitting, peek-a-boo top, and a black tank top. I changed into the clothes, and then walked over to my make up. I took extra time on my eyes, and then started curling my hair, thinking of which shoes to wear. I mentally decided that, of course, my black converse would go best with my outfit. I slipped them on, tucking the laces in, and then pounded down the stair with my back pack, oncea gain, grabbing some fruit, and jumping on the bus. Forgetting about my music for the second day, a group of freshmen struck up some conversation.

"Wow, well, what's going on iwth you and Clause, rumor has it that he likes that new girl.. What's her name again? Ebony?" one girl asked, I was pretty suer her name was Presley. The boy next to her nodded, "Yeah, that's her name." I nodded too, and then responded.

"Well.." I trailed off with a smirk, pressing my finger to my lips, and then standing to get off the bus. The trail of teens started clearing away as I neared my locker. I spun in the combonation, and then I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I opened the message, Clause. My heart thudded, why? Ugh, it read 'we need 2 tlk'. I sighed inwardly, and deleted the message, pacing off to my first class, setting my things down, and then heading back into the hallway. I folded my arms, and then went walking. I stretched my neck, searching for Clause, and tapped him on the shoulder.

His shaggy hair turned to look at me, and I looked up into his grey eyes. "Yes?" he dragged out the 'e'.

"You said we had to talk?" I pursed my lips, and cocked my hip out to the side, givinghim a bored expression. wow, I was turning into a diva..

"oh, yeah.." His eyes turned sheepish, and then they glared down at the floor.

"Go ahead then, say what you have to say." I sighed, and rolled my eyes a bit. What if he thinks I don't care?

"I know you saw me with Ebony yesterday.." Oh, how I ronic, Ebony, and Ivory.. Great now that song is stuck in my head.. "But I really don't like her," I got lost in the songa gain..'Ebony And Ivory Live Together In Perfect Harmony Side By Side On My Piano Keyboard, Oh Lord, Why Don't We?'.. "But I knew her from when I was little, and she just suprised me." ..'We All Know That People Are The Same Where Ever We Go There Is Good And Bad In Ev'ryone,'.. "I still like you," that snapped the song from my head. Still? Meaning he never stopped?

"Really?" That was all I could think of, don't hate.

"Yes, so, tonight do you think we could maybe hang out, err, something?" I grinned,

"You know you haven't taken me on an official date yet.."
