I woke up the next morning dreading the walk I would have to take. Stupid alarm clock for not working. Stupid truck for being at the school. Stupid Kyle for hitting me with that car. Stupid me for walking without looking where I was going. I looked out the window and saw it was pouring. Fabulous. Stupid clouds for raining.
I groaned and got dressed, brushed my teeth and fluffed my hair again even if the rain might ruin it. My hair is my pride an joy. I love it long like it is. I put on eye liner and my boots and leather jacket over my Beatles Abbey Road t-shirt. I pulled up my hood and grabbed my bag. Here I go. I ran out the door in the pouring rain. I walked as fast a I could without dying after a few feet. I heard the rumble of tires on gravel behind me. I turned around and saw Kyle's car.
"You are really stubborn you know that right?" He called out the window
"Yep!" I yelled back continuing my walk. Only 2 miles to go. Ugh.
"Get in the car Cassie." Kyle said. I was going to say no until a bolt of lightning cracked across the sky scaring the pee out of me. I squeaked and ran over to the passenger side of the car. Kyle opened the door for me and I slipped in.
"Thanks." I mumbled
"You're welcome." He said then looked my my shirt "A neon green bra?" He questioned. I looked down and saw my white shirt became see though. I blushed red and zipped up my jacket.
"What is your obsession with my boobs?" I asked "You're always looking at them" I said crossing my arms
"They look nice." He said with a shrug. Blushing I looked out the window. This was going to be a long day.

When we pulled into the school parking lot I shrunk down in my seat covering my eyes with my hand.
"What are you doing Cassie?" Kyle asked while looking for a parking spot.
"Letting you keep your pride." I said slipping lower so my head was below the window "Okay so if you get out first and walk away then I'll get out and we never have to speak to each other again.'' I said
"Cassie just sit up." Kyle said parking near The front of the school. Slowly I sat up looking around as I did.
"It's your social life." I said quietly before getting out of the car the same time Kyle. Before I know it every eye is on Kyle and I. Of course I became flustered by the sudden attention and put my head down blushing. I hear whispers from the other students as I pass.
"Wow who's the new girl?" A girl says glaring at me. Well then.
"She's really pretty." Another girl said. I smiled at her before putting my head down again.
"Damn who's that new girl she's hot!" A guy said. My head snapped up an I saw the guy staring at me. I blushed and lowered my head further. With all eyes on me I walked into the school building. When I got inside I made a bee line for the girls room. I put my hands on the sink and took a deep breath. Then another. And another. And another until my deep breaths were short pants. I'm having another anxiety attack. Everybody was looking at me. I've tried so hard to be in the shadows then Kyle walked in and pulls me far out of my comfort zone. I splash my face with cold water and rub a paper towel over it to dry.
The bell rang signalling Home Ec. for me. I slowly put myself together and walked out to the hallway. I quietly made my way to Home Ec. without a problem. My problem awaited me in the classroom, Hannah and Hailey. This was the one class we all had together. Great. Now I get grilled for not calling them last night and coming to school with THE Kyle Keller. Peachy.
"Cassia Denise Barker!" Hannah called tapping her foot on the ground.
"Where were you last night?" Hailey asked
"You should have called us!" Hannah said
"We were worried sick!" Hailey scolded
"It's a long story," I mumble
"Oh no do not give us-" Hannah started
"Any of that its a long story crap!" Hailey finished.
"Fine! I was walking out to my car yesterday when a car hit me. I hit my head on the ground and it just so happened Kyle hit me. He brought me to the hospital to make sure that I didn't have a concussion then brought me home. I couldn't drive my truck home because I could barely walk strait at the time so Kyle gave me a lift to school so I wouldn't have to walk in the rain." I said "Huh guess it wasn't all that long of a story."
"WHAT? YOU GOT A RIDE FROM KYLE KELLER?!" They whisper/yelled at me.
"Yes." I said with a 'duh' look
"Well you are something else Cassie." Hannah said
"Something else entirely." Hailey agreed. I rolled my eyes and turned to the lesson. Kyle walked in leaving me shocked. This was the only class I didn't have with him. What was he doing here.
"Hi I was switched into this class." He said awkwardly. Dang. I need one class a day I can get away from him. Just 90 minutes a day I don't have him in my class. I groan before putting my head in my hands. And my luck continues to grow! I'm the only one without a partner in the class so Ms. Givana tells Kyle to have a seat next to me. He smirked at me as he sat down. He opened his mouth to say something but I held up my hand.
"One class! Just one class!" I whispered at him
"But it's so much fun to annoy you." He said poking my cheek. Again and again and again. Finally I couldn't take it and I turned my head as he came in for another poke and I bit his finger. I smirked as he cursed and cradled his hand to his chest.
"I warned you." I said quietly
"You didn't have to bite my bloody hand!" He whispered back
"Mr. Keller Ms. Barker is there a problem?" Ms. Givana asked raising an eyebrow.
"No Ms.G everything is peachy!" Kyle forced a smile and glared at me. I put my hands up in mock surrender.
"Poke my face I'll bite your finger." I said quietly after Ms. Givana turned back to the board.
"Yeah yeah yeah." Kyle shrugged it off before putting his head on his desk and dozing off. Hannah leaned up and whispered in my ear.
"Did you just bite Kyle Keller?!" She asked quietly
'Yeah. He was poking my face." I shrug
"You're weird." Hailey said
