"Kaitlyn, let's go. I don't want to be late" my sister yells as she is just getting out of the shower. I take my phone off its charger and put it in my bag. " Why do I have to go?" I ask my mom as I come upstairs. She replies, "because you could benefit from this." I give her a look of confusion seeing as this is a beauty conference and I'm not the most girly girl in the family. "Let's go!", my sister yells even louder. "Your the one who isn't ready." I yell back. She finally comes out and gives me a scornful look. We pile up into the car and all three of us are singing just about every song that comes on the radio on the way there.  Once we get into the conference hall, I look around amazed at how much make-up some of these girls put on. Just then standing in the far corner, I see a boy. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He's wearing a 'King and Country' sweatshirt. He's got blue jeans on with black and white tennis shoes. He's just standing there and staring at me. I glance away thinking it's just a boy. Soon after, the lights flicker indicating the conference is about to start. We find our seats and my mom and my sister start to converse about how navy blue is the complete opposite of ocean blue. The conference has started and we are about 20 minuets in. Just then I realize this is the stupidest thing in the world. I had to get out of there. I tell my mom I'm going to the bathroom(not that she cares). I walk out and feel relief. Just then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and gasp. It's the boy from the corner. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.", he says. "Oh, it's ok." I reply wondering what's going on in his head. "So, your not a girl. If your not a girl then why are you here?" I ask. "Well that is very true. I am not a girl and the reason I'm here is because my sister and my mom dragged me here." He says as he begins to smile. Seeing as he's not a killer, I introduce myself. "Hi, my name is Kaitlyn." "Hey, I'm Coby." I shake his hand and realize that he's really strong. So, after getting to know him a little, I've found out quite a lot. I've found out that he goes to my school, we are in the same grade and our dad's work at the same company. We're also the same age which I like. " I better go back. My moms gonna be wondering where I am." I start to head inside and I barely get a step and he yells "Wait, I need your number." I look a little puzzled seeing as I just met him, but at the same time very happy he wants it. We exchange numbers and I start to walk to the hall where the lecture is being held. An hour and half of hell carries on and the lights let up indicating the lecture is finally over. We walk out and head out to the car. We get in the car and my mom and my sister just stare at me. I look over and ask why they are staring. "Don't think we didn't notice." They said in unison. "Notice what" I ask hoping they didn't notice. " You were in the 'bathroom' for an awful long time. And then before we left you and that guy totally had a staring moment." "So I met a guy. Is that bad?" "Well no, but you met a guy!"she yells with excitement. "Can we just go home please?" I ask sounding really tired. My mom turns on the car and we head home. We get home and I go straight up to my room trying to avoid all questions. It's like 9, so I decided I would actually fall asleep at a good time tonight. I get a basketball shooting shirt on with some short shorts and climb in bed. I'm just about to fall asleep when I hear a ding. It's Coby!
Coby:Hey
Me:Hey
C:What's up
M:Just got home wbu
C:Same. My sister and my mom were pounding me with questions about you.
M:Really?! Same!
C:Well I'm gonna head to bed but I'll see you tomorrow right?
M:Definitely! Where should we meet??
C:Front doors?
M:Perfect. See ya tomorrow!
C:See ya!
The next morning I wake up, do my morning stuff and head to school. I get to the front doors and I see Coby already there. "Hey. What's up" I ask. We have a conversation about nothing as we walk to my locker and put my stuff away. Now were just walking around like idiots. We walk down a hallway no one goes down anymore. We sit down against the wall. We are still talking. I notice something about him. When he laughs, he has cute little dimples. I stare at the floor. "What's wrong?" He asked sounding concerned.  "Oh, I just don't like school." I say. I go to look at him and next thing I know he's kissing me. I get these butterflies in my stomach and everything in the world stops for just a moment.
