Between The Lines

Chapter 3

"Ray! Ray!" I woke to my little bother Max sitting next to me on the head of my bed.
"Max?! What time is it?!" I gave him alittle shove off my bed and he giggled. I rolled over and checked my alarm clock.
"Oh my Wonderland! 7 o'clock?! Max, why didn't mom wake me up! I'm gonna be so late!"
"She thought you were already up, but when you didn't come down for breakfast she sent me up to check on you."
I groaned. "Thanks Max! I have to hurry see ya later bug" I messed up his hair {even more than it already was...} and ran to get ready.
I quickly changed into jeans,black flats, a a light blue sweater, and a white scarf. Throwing my brown hair into a ponytail
-At The School-
"Oh my goodness! Ray you're here! For a second, I thought you left me alone with these crazies!" Casey said jokingly as she motioned around at our peers. Some were pretend fighting, others fixing their makeup, but most everyone was on their phones. No wonder most adults believe we're a generation of robots.
We laugh. "Never" I said then rolled me eyes.
"So, what did find out about him?!"
She stopped talking when Justice came up. I never really told Justice about that_boy77. I actually don't know why. Guess it never came up in conversation around him. Maybe it was because this was more of a girl-talk topic.
"Find out about who??" He asked as we all started to he's to first period.
"Oh nothing" I said while we turned the corner.
"Umm okay" he said a little confused. "So did you get all caught up?"
I sighed. "Sort of."
We entered our medium-sized chemistry class room.
We settled into our desks, Justice to my right, Casey to my left.
"Class class, time to settle down" Mr. Frisco, our teacher, said as he sat down in his desk.
"Sooooo.... What did be say?!" Casey turned towards me, her curly black hair swinging to one side.
I yawned.
"I never got a chance to read his reply. I was in such a rush this morning..." I trailed off as Mr.Frisco started the class.
-Later That Period-
"Because you guys worked so hard, I'll give you the last 15 minutes to have free time" Mr Frisco said, cheers erupted from me and my peers.
I quickly pulled out my phone.
While Justice was talking to some of
the other people in our class, I read the reply to Casey;

Of course! And the fact that you've already planned on us having a 5 year anniversary, makes my heart leap!
And gueeesss what?!
I live in Utah too!
I go to Mountain Heights High!
Talk to you later!

p.s. yeeaaahhh I get that alot ;D lol ty

"OH MY GOSH!" Casey stood straight up and practically screamed.
"Casey!" I pulled on her hoodie, glad it was so loud in the classroom.
"Rackelle! He GOES TO OUR SCHOOL!" She whispered loudly.
My heart starting thumping I looked around at our class room.
"I have an idea!" I looked at the clock. We still had 10 minutes.
"Okay, I'll write a quick reply right now and if he replies before the bell, we know he's probably in one of the six teachers classes that allows students to be on their phones. "
"Oooooh! Great idea! We can make a list of the teachers, and write down the boys we know are in sed classroom". Casey said and got a pice of paper out.
"Perfect! I just hope he doesn't find out who I am".
"Why not?! You can't mess with fate". She winks at me.
"Oh my gosh Casey you're so cheesy!" We laugh and start to type me reply, which turned out like this:

Hey!
We go to the same high school!
{that's fact #1 ;) }
Fact #2 is I love photography!

I didn't even bother witting my user name, he knew who I was, plus I was in a hurry.
We quickly wrote down the six teachers names, and the boys who we knew were in each class. About two minutes later, we got his reply;

Really?! No way! I think it's fate ;D
#1- I have dirty blonde hair
#2- I'm average height

"Ha! he thinks its fate too!"
I rolled my eyes.
"So it's official! He's in one of these classes, now we cross everyone off who doesn't have dirty blonde hair!" Casey said, a little to excited.
"But we don't know everyone in the classes." I replied.
"Well it's a good thing I'm on the year book committee!" She smiled proudly.
I looked at the list. There was only 5 guys in this class with dirty blonde hair, 2 of which I actually ever talked to in real life. One was this guy name Zach and the other was Justice.
"Casey, do you think Justice could be the guy?" I asked.
We looked over at him. He had dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. His smile was so perfect and I knew at least 7 girls who had a crush on him. Plus, he was average height.
"Nah." Casey said as we looked back at the list.
"You'd probably recognize if it was him, I mean you two have been friends for like ever."
"That's true" I said, trying to shake off the thought.
"Okay, I don't have year book until tomorrow, but I should the list for you tomorrow after school!" She said as the bell rang.
I smiled, "perfect!" And with that, we headed out the door, my heart thumping with excitement.
