Chapter 2

I feel like a robot the rest of the day, thinking about what to say to Safire. She's so sensitive, I don't want us to part of uneven grounds. As I push through the rest of my classes the bell finally rings for school to be out. As I pack up my books and organize my locker a little, I see this heavenly being gliding down the hallway. 'Oh wow does he look just perfect today: with his soft curly hair and his big shoulders mmmm I just wanna squeeze me some-'

"HELLO...Earth to Ruth, come on, I'm ready to go!" screams Safire from across the hall.

"Oh, yeah I'll be right there.." I say, dazed.

I can't believe I was just gawking in front of everybody at the one and only Matthew Hanek! He's like the soul purpose of life! Too bad him and Safire are kinda an item. I see Matthew's hand slowly glide down saff's back and reach her butt. Oh man I just want to rip all his clothes off and get me a piece of him! Ugh, well I shouldn't dream of such things, I mean after all he doesn't even know I exist. But hey, what can I do, Saff is an attractive lady so of course she'd get the catch of the year.

"Uhh, sorry interrupt your little tongue tango, but I think we should go now." I say, approaching with caution. I see Safire push on Matthews chest and I see his pecks tense up. Oh. My. Gawd.

"So, I'll see you tonight, right baby?"

"Oh yeah, totally. Don't forget that thing you showed me fourth period" Mat says with a wink. Oh yuck I did NOT need to hear that!!

I pull Safire by the arm the rest of the way to the door and she pulls away from me.

"What do you think you're doing?" oh she's mad.

"Um well it's time to go, you said you were ready!"

"yeah that was before I saw you eye raping my boyfriend!"

"I did not 'eye rape' anyone! I wasn't even looking at him!" I lie, when I know I was totally eye raping him, but in my opinion it's not rape of he likes it, and he hasn't said he doesn't.

"Right whatever, you're driving."

"Okay, fine!" I jump in the driver seat and start the engine up. As we pull out of the parking lot I feel the air tense, like Matthews strong shoulders. I shake my head noticeably shaking every thought of Matthew out of my mind. I just need to get Safire to talk to me! What to say, what to saaaay....

"Uhhh, so I'm really sorry for leaving like this." Safire looks down as her phone buzzes in her lap.

"You've GOT to be KIDDING!!"

"What happened? What's wrong??" I say concerned.

"Matthew just asked me who that hot chick was I left with." she eyed me deviously.

"Oh......" I don't say another word until we pull into Safire's driveway. She looks like she is going to cry, I feel so bad but i mean hey....He noticed me! >.< how amazing is this!!! I mean not amazing this is bad. I could lose Safire forever. "Hey look I'm really sorry what can I do to help?"

"I know something, stay away from me and Matthew for the rest of our lives. I love him and he loves me.." oh yeh he clearly loves you when he asks his girlfriend who her 'hot friend' is. "..goodbye and don't call me."

Well that couldn't have gone any worse. Now I'm all alone and I'll have nobody for the next four days. Ha, oh well. I drive the rest of the way home drowned in thought about Matthew. I think I should text him...no she asked me to stay away...well she did just shun me...no she's still my friend....it's one little text...I'm doing it, I'm sending the text!!
