The Way She Was

Chapter Two

A/N every italicized is to be a flashback which is like most of the story... Please enjoy!!!

I'm still driving and I hear her favorite song, wake me up when September ends by Green Day, and I turn it up to maximum volume and slowly reminisce .

15 Months Before

"Hey, how does it feel to finally be an upper class man. I mean I feel like junior year will be better than sophomore year.. don't you?" My best friend Jordan asked me, but I didn't pay attention, I was too focused on a girl with a black beanie and pretty lilac hair that fell on her face so naturally that it was beautiful. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a black and white flannel with and black shirt underneath. On her feet she had black combat boots and on her face she had a frown. I thought how could such a beautiful girl be so sad.

My thoughts were interrupted with Jordan's hand swiping up and down in front of my face. "Dude, I was speaking words directly at you however it seemed as if you ears and brain were not working properly." He is such a geek.

"Yeah, umm I'm so sorry." Were the only words that I could utter, she left me dumbstruck. I had to let her know that smiling is better for her face muscles but that would make me seem awkward.

I've never seen her before in the two years I've been at the hell hole. She had to be new. "Hey, Jord you see that girl standing in the office?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Have you seen her before?" I asked as I'm staring at her.

"Never in my life... why do you continue to ask me questions that don't have any affect on your IQ, this is doing nothing for you Matt." Again such a geek.

"She's beautiful" I say as she leaves the office and not a second later I wish I didn't say it out loud.

"OH MY GOD, don't do this to me okay!" Jordan exclaims as he violently shakes my shoulders. She heard him and I know that because she is staring at us however not a minute later her eyes go back to looking at the floor and she walks to what seems to be her locker. Then I feel Jordan's hand on my forehead, "Do you have a fever?!? Or worse... it could be malaria!!! Quick to the nurses office!". He pulls my arm and leads me through the hall. Now everyone is staring, GREAT! We walked pass the girl, she's having a hard time opening her locker. I tug my arm away from Jordan and walk to her and as I do I hear Jordan, "Noooooo, he's gone completely insane!"

"Having trouble there..." I look at one of the books with her name scribbled on the front, "...Sarah?" She looks at me with icy blue eyes as cold as a thermometer that read 0 degrees. She turns back to try again three more times. "Still having trouble" I ask with a chuckle.

"Fine" she said with theist angelic voice I have ever heard, "I give up." She handed me a paper with her combination on it, 8-42-13, I put it in and click it opened

She took what seemed like forever putting her books in the locker; blue for English, red for Algebra, green for Science, and yellow for History. She also had a random black notebook and a sketchbook. She put them in the locker that correlated with her schedule. As she does this I take a pen out of my pocket and write my phone number on the paper with the combination. I put it on the floor next to her and said, "I'm Matt and I'm going to my home room now." Way to make it awkward Matt that what we were trying not to do.

A/N  OMGGGG I made a long ass chapter, yeah not really XD ,and now my hands are burning but I'm happy. From here on and till I say so the whole book is going to be a flash back hence the italicization. Welp let me know what you think!!!
