I'll change your mind.

Part 4

*BEEP BEEP*

This dreadful time of the day again, 7am. I wake up viciously rubbing my eyes. Ugh, why did school have to start so early?! I check my phone, my mum hasn't even tried to get back to me. I try one more time. Still no answer. I could feel my heart aching, I don't remember the last time me and my mum actually spoke. Let alone sat together and had a meal. Honestly she might as well put this house in my name because she never stays here.

Against my will, I pull myself out of the covers and into the bathroom. When I come out I straightened my hair and tied it back. Then headed for the walk in wardrobe. It was too cold for a skirt today so I chose my light blue skinny jeans, a basic cream jumper and my white converse.

I proceed to the kitchen where I make myself some toast and a glass of juice. I was still beyond tired and needed something to wake me up. As a take a bite of my toast my phone rings making me jump. I thought it was my mum but when I looked it was an unknown number. I let out a deep sigh and answered the call.

"Hey darling" I hear a low voice say. I laugh, "hey Kieron" I mumble too tired to hold a decent conversation let alone find out how he got my number. "Hannah..." He said in the most innocent voice he could pull. "Want to give me a lift to school?" I let out a snigger, I had a feeling he would ask. "I'll be there in 15!" With that I hung up.

I finished the rest of my toast, got my things and left. The roads were fairly empty. I put my ministry of sound CD in and put it on full volume. Driving down the road singing easy love. It wasn't too long before I got to the lake, I looked around to see if I could see him he was no where in sight. I pulled my phone out and called his number. It rang a few times before he answered. "Hello sweet cheeks!" His voice echoed through the phone. "Where are you?! I'm at the lake?" I question with a little bit of anger in my voice. He should have been here. "Sorry darling let me just get my shoes and jacket on and I'll leave," he said with an apologetic tone. "Forget that, text me you're address I'll be there in 2!" I hang up and wait for the text.

When it comes through I was on my way. I couldn't really be bothered and sit around and wait for someone I can barely stand. When I got to his house I beeped my horn, waited a minute and the front door opened. He stood there with his door open. Signalling for me to come in. By now it was 8:20. I let out a little grunt and got out my car. When I approached him I could see he still didn't have his shoes on. I walked up to him with my bitch face on. "Why aren't you ready?!" I spat at him. He stood there in shock. "It doesn't take 2 seconds to slip on a pair of shoes, why so angry?" I roll my eyes, this boy was so obnoxious. "Put your shoes on," I instructed . I felt like his mother right now. With that he was gone. I was left standing at his door step awkwardly. A minute later he was back with his shoes on. I walked to my car followed by him.

I didn't dare put my music on because I knew he'd just turn it back down anyway. It was too early to be messing with my music. I didn't bother starting a conversation, I was never good at it. I mean the only person I used to talk to was Cindy, I can't even hold a decent conversation with my mum, always awkward silences. The thought of my mum made my heart ache, she hadn't even tried to get in contact with me and ask how my first day went.

I was lost in my own head when Kieron cleared his throat. "What lessons do you have today?" He asks. I throw him my schedule. "We have double English?! I didn't even read that stupid book!" I burst into laughter. "This isn't funny!" He had such a serious tone and expression. This alone makes the tears roll down my face. "Please... Stop.. I can't b-breathe" I manage to choke out.
"Then help me? You're a girl. You like this sort of stuff right?" The laughter stops I looked at him with a blank expression on my face. "Believe it or not. Not all girls are into that.." He looked so shocked, is he serious?! "You must like romance? That's like a girls favourite thing." He stated. I laughed "I hate romance, it's all bullshit. I'd much rather watch a horror any day!" I stated backing myself up. His mouth dropped. "You're into romance in real life right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Why should I be? No one ever goes out of the way for girls anymore. I mean when did you ever see a boy doing any of the shit that happens in the films? You don't." A massive smile formed on his face, not a grin, a smile. "What if someone changed your mind?" This made butterflies form in my belly, I wasn't sure if it was because it was him saying it or the thought of someone doing it.. But I liked it. I was puzzled, I didn't know how to respond. By this time we were at school, I went into the car park and turned the engine off. When I looked at Kieron he was staring at me still waiting for my response. I let out a sigh, "maybe if someone convinced me otherwise but it doesn't happen," I state.
