VI - Her

Ally's POV

It's finally here: the final day of school. No more need to be all caught up in my 'popularity', I can just be me. I just need to keep up the act for one week. Then everyone will be gone and I can relax at my house or around town. If I really wanted to I could ask my parents to go to some exotic place and bring back proof of my travels, but I honestly don't care to do that. I am content in the town where there is everything familiar yet intriguing. I'll get all of the souvenirs from my friends anyways. They are all trying to suck up to me yet they're doing everything wrong. The insincere, though, will never be able to see through my front to see that I really
do care about everything that goes on within the boundaries of this school.

It's weird: when I was walking to school today I think I saw that girl. I don't know what she was doing but she seemed really supposed to see some person that was walking up to her. Oh well, I guess it is not really of my concern.

As I trudge to my second-to-last class of the year, I am stopped by some counselor's messenger. Apparently I'm needed in the counselor's office. And so I walk to the counselor. When I get there, I am surprised to see the girl sitting on the waiting bench in line. And I'm not talking about just any girl. I'm talking about THE girl. I decide to make small talk, because why the hell not?
"So... What's your name?" I begin tentatively, hoping I don't sound like an idiot.
"Stevie. Stevie Boebi" she replies, her voice like an angel. Damn I am falling and she needs to catch me.
"Ally" I say, for the lack of anything else to say.
She responds with an "I know", but it was not condescending, and was told like a joke more than anything else. I laugh, and she smiles as though she might be relieved about something. Maybe I should smile more often. She seemed to enjoy it.

We sit there in silence as I skillfully look at the mirror across from us and examine her features. Mild amounts of makeup, enough to see that it's there but not ridiculous amounts. And she seems like a very sincere person. But why can't I stop looking at her? Or her chest? I'm not ashamed to say it, I was checking her out. And I also realized that she is pretty skinny. So she looks rather ideal in today's standards. But in my idea of a gorgeous person, she was at the top of the list.

Mostly I am glad that I got a name for her now. Instead of the girl, it's Stevie. It kind of sounds like a boy's name, but hey, whatever is fine by me when it comes to her. Damn she is hot. I shouldn't be thinking this but then again why not? I mean, she's obviously the only person that I'm intrigued by.

As I gather the courage to bring up another topic and speak, I am called inside. I walk as slow as could be considered normal and I look back at her at the last second. She gives a little wave and I almost jump, but I stop myself and smile at her before entering the room. Turns out I happened to have meds with the counselor in case anything happened so I just needed to get them back. When I walked out Stevie was already gone, presumably with a counselor. I quickened my pace to get back to class so I didn't miss the ending of the movie.

~•~

As I went to my locker at the very end of the day, I realized that Stevie's locker was at the end of the hall. Temporarily I considered slipping a note in her locker with my phone number, but that really isn't necessary considering we haven't said but a few words to each other and she is also older than me. I actually think she might be a senior this year, which means that she won't be here next year. So this summer is the last chance I have to talk to her or get to know her a bit. I have an odd suspicion that we might make some good friends once we get to know each other. Summer shall behold many things to come.

I took extra long to pack up because I knew that Stevie would wait until everyone was gone to go get her belongings. Once she did come out I walked up to her casually.
"Have a great summer, Stevie" I said, and then I walked behind her to the door.
"You too" I heard her say quietly when I was almost to the door, and I turned and smiled at her before walking out. It is now officially summer, and it's already off to a great start. Maybe it will only get better from here. But then again it's equally as likely that something horrible could happen and then my commute would be the works. I'm just going to hope that nothing like that does happen to me. I'm just relieved it's finally summer and I can be me again.
