My Girl

Snap Out Of It

Mason was waiting for me in the front of the school when my mom dropped me off.
"Morning." He waved.
"Sup." I greeted.
"So how did yesterday go?" He asked.
"What? Oh good." I answered blankly.
"Is that all, good? Come on give me some details." He egged on.
"What details, nothing happened." I said.
"Mhmm." He mocked giving me a sideways glance, and proceeded to our classes braking off once we reached mine. It's become so routine that me and mason don't even have to talk about what we're going to do, also I haven't gotten a strike. I pulled huge pranks at my old school with only being a week in but nothing here, wow I'm disappointed in myself.

We were already ten minutes into class when Mykie walked, correction ran in almost tripping over her own feet.
"Your late Mrs. Anderson." Mr. Willoughby announced.
"Ya sorry." She apologized.
"Sorry won't cut it hove been late everyday this week and today I draw the line see me after class." Mr. Willoughby said.
"But-"
"No buts after class got it." He said sternly.
"Yes sir." Mykie squeaked defeated. She sensed me staring and looked over, and I gave her a small smile she smiled back. I really like her smile I don't know why I just do, I like the way it brightens up her face the way her lips curl perfectly into it, her pink full beautiful lips. Woah Danny boy snap out of it
Once class was over all the students packed up their things and headed out, and all that was left was Mykie. I started to head to the door but stopped when it was about half way closed trying to be as still as possible.
"Mykie listen I don't want to be mad at you but you can't keep doing this." I heard Mr. Willoughby said.
"I know." Mykie said.
"No I don't think you do." Mr Willoughby said.
"No I do, I try to get to school on time but-" Mykie cut off.
"But what?" Mr. Willoughby asked.
"No it's nothing." She said leaving the thought behind.
"There is no such thing as nothing." He said.
"No it's-never mind." Mykie said.
"Come on. You can tell me." Mr. Willoughby said.
"Ok fine." Mykie sighed. "My parents, they um, they fight, a lot, all the time. And because of that neither of them take me to school because they're fighting. Same goes for homework, now I don't get it but I feel like I could if someone helped me but no one does cause they're always fighting." Mykie voice hitched.
"Oh Mykie I'm sorry I didn't know." Mr. Willoughby said.
"How could you I never told anybody." She said.
"Listen how bout this, how about I drive you to school?" Mr. Willoughby suggested.
"What?"
"Ya you'd have to get up a little earlier but if you do I could pick you up and bring you to school." Mr. Willoughby explained.
"You would do that?" Mykie asked.
"Ya, hey I grew up in a similar situation and if someone did that for me I would be forever grateful.
"Oh thank you." She squealed.
"No problem. Now hurry to your next class."
"Thank you." She said again.

"Ooow!!!" I yelled when the door hit my head.
"Oh I'm sorry, I-" Mykie cut off. "Oh it's you what were you doing standing there, wait you weren't listening were you?" She asked suspiciously.
"What no." I lied.
"You did listen, how much did you hear?" She screamed grabbing the collar of my shirt.
"Only a little, half," she tightened her grip. "All of it."
"What!" She let go.
"Ya I-" then I felt a red hot sting hit my cheek. SHE SLAPPED ME!
"What the hell!" I exclaimed.
"Don't you know what privacy is!" She yelled.
"Yes."
"Then why listen in?" She asked out of breath.
"I'm nosey." I said rubbing my cheek.
"Ya no kidding, you know not even Caleb knows about my family." She said.
"Well then I must be special." I joked trying to lighten the mood but it didn't work she just glared.
"No your a jackass oh and stay away from me." She said walking down the hall. Great I finally got this girl to not hate me and I had to go and throw myself back to square one. Wait-to-go Daniel, and the biggest failure award goes to me, ya I'm so honored.

I went home that day in a crappy mood you can guess why.
"Hey honey you ok?" My mom asked as she walked into my room.
"Oh ya mom I'm great." I said sarcastically.
"You wanna talk about it?" She asked.
"No I'm good." I said.
"This doesn't have anything to do with that girl that came over yesterday does it?" She asked.
"How'd you know?"
"I'm a mom I'm supposed to know these things, so anyway what happened?" She asked.
"I screwed up." I said.
"What you do?"
"Something stupid and now she's mad."
"Ahh I see, wow my son managed to find and lose a girlfriend in two days." She teased.
"What no we didn't date I don't even like her." I said.
"Ya sure."
"I don't mom."
"Whatever you say honey." She said leaving my room.
Huh I don't like Mykie, please how could I ever like Mykie not in a million years. But she is really cute, what no stop. And she's funny stop Daniel stop, and she's cool, Daniel no you do not like Mykie you don't like her you don't like her you don't... Do you?
