Waiting on love

Introduction:

Do you ever get the feeling where you just wanna know what people think about you, like when you're in the hallways at school with people passing by and they look at you, what are they thinking? I know it shouldn't matter but deep down I just want people to look at me with approval and to genuinely like me. Not like boys like me other than friends, I'm so tired of waiting on love, on some guy who probably won't come.... I should probably just start up my cat collection now because I'm pretty sure I'm the perfect example of being forever alone.

Beep... Beep... Beep... Be oh shut up you stupid alarm I'm up now I said while clicking the off button on my alarm. Today is Monday morning which means another dreadful day of school. It's not that I necessarily hate school it's just that I'm really lazy so the thought of work makes me exhausted. I got out of my cozy bed to go downstairs to get breakfast. I decided on cereal and headed upstairs to get ready. I decided on a teeshirt, skinny jeans and white converse. I put on some eyeliner with a barely noticeable wing topping it off with some mascara, I didn't wear foundation like most girls since I couldn't find anything to match my olive skin tone. I left my dark brown hair down, letting it fall naturally straight hitting my mid back. I looked at the time, shit its almost 7, I ran downstairs grabbing by backpack and keys. I left my house walking towards my car, hopping in and setting off towards school. I got to school, parking in my designated parking spot, getting out and heading towards my locker.

Click 14..Click 32.. Click 8, I opened my locker to get out my textbooks for my first two classes when my best friends Grace and Luke came up to my locker. "Seriously Grace do you ever shut up!" Luke kindly said, "Thanks Luke I was just trying to tell you my good news jackass." Grace said. Well hey guys good morning to you too! "Oh sorry April, I'm just reaallllllyyyy excited!" Grace said while holding my arms and jumping up and down. Geesh someone had sugar this morning "why, what happened?" I asked " Well Brian Reid asked me out and I sorta said..YES!". Oh my god Grace I'm so happy for you I said hugging her and putting on a fake smile. "Well I have to go I'm suppose to meet Brian before class, bye guys!" Grace said before skipping down the hallway. I immediately looked at Luke "I told you this would happen sooner or later and I guess it was sooner". He looked up at me I could see the sadness in his eyes "Yeah I know April but if you can't tell I'm kinda not in the mood for I told you so".

Here's the backstory.. Luke, Grace and I have been friends since we were in Pre-K and Luke has been crazy in love with Grace since we learned cooties aren't real. Obviously Luke only told me and not Grace which is why she is going out with the infamous Brian Reid one of Summer Town highs biggest douche bags. One thing I've kept secret from both of them is I have a little crush on Luke it's hard not too be attracted to Luke with his big green eye, light brown hair and olive skin tone... Not to mention his toned physique. But anyway his constant talking about Grace makes it hard to have a huge crush on him.

"Sorry Lukey you know I'm not really good at giving advice... But I do know what will make you feel a whole hell of a lot better!". Luke looked up to indicate he was listening "Well we could skip school and go to your house?". He nodded his head, as I tried to hide my excitement of skipping school for the first time in front of him. After walking to the parking lot we were in our cars going to his house. I pulled up behind his car and walked into his house, that's when I saw him sitting on his couch looking depressed as ever. I sat next to him rubbing his muscular back "Luke I know it sucks right now but knowing Brian it will be over soon and that's when you have to make your move". The beautiful boy looked up at me with a face full of worry "April what if I do make a move and she rejects me and our friendship gets ruined!", then he held my hand making my heat skip a beat "I need your help, If you'd do it for me". "First off she wouldn't reject you and second duh I'd do anything for you Lukey". He gave me a sad smile then laid down against my chest, causing my heartbeat to speed up.. "Why is your heart beating so fast?" Luke asked. Um I uhhhh you're just really heavy and it's hard for me to breathe... I answered quickly hoping he wouldn't see me blushing. Oh sucks you're really comfy Luke replied. Luke, how exactly did you want me to help I asked stroking his soft hair. "We'll I'm not sure yet but I will soon" and after that we just kept on talking for hours on end. Luke eventually got off me after I made a remark on how he would give me permanent breathing problems. I looked at the time it was already 5:30, knowing dinner was soon I said goodbye to Luke, as he wrapped his strong arms around me wishing that I could stay like this. Luke..I..can't....breathe! He then let go "whoops sorry bye April" "Bye Luke". I got in my car and drove back home hoping I didn't get caught for skipping. Hi mom, hi dad! I said entering the house. Oh hey sweetie, dinners ready! Mom can I skip dinner I'm not feeling good. "Sure honey" and with that I went to my room got in my pajamas snuggled up in my covers and just thought about everything. And by everything I meant everything, I wished I could have someone love me the way Luke loves Grace, then again everyone loved her she was by far one of the prettiest girls at school with long blond hair, brown eyes and a welcoming smile. She had guys fawning over her unlike me... Just April, that girl that's friends with Grace and Luke, that girl that no one will ever like. Before I knew it I fell asleep with a heavy heart not ready for school the next morning.
