50 Reasons Why

50 Reasons Why it's a New World

ARTHUR'S POV

I got to school the same time I normally did. I even made English Muffins. In my lifespan I could predict almost every moment of my life, from cleaning up my drunk brothers to what dorm I wanted to sleep in at college. What I couldn't predict was seeing Alfred at school before I was. He was standing by his brother and talking to the new kid. I smiled and waved. Al said something to his brother and walked over to where I was standing.

"Good morning, Arthur." He smirked.

"Morning, Alfred. How are you today?." I giggled. I felt like a schoolgirl talking to her first crush. I loved it.

"Oh I'm doing fine. I had a lot of fun yesterday."

"Mm, so did I. Anyway what brings you to school so early?"

"Well Mattie and me came--"

"Mattie and I." I corrected.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, I take grammar very seriously."

"You're such a nerd." He chuckled.

"Am not!"

"Am too!"

"You mean 'are too'."

"No you 'are too' uptight man. Take that stick out of your ass."

"What do you suppose I put up there instead?" I laughed.

He froze, biting his lip.

"I was being sarcastic! Get your mind out of the gutter!" I hit him with my bag.

"Well I mean we got pretty close to that yesterday."

"Hush you! People are showing up!"

"Then how about we go somewhere more private?" He smirked and snaked his arms around my waist.

"Let go, we'll get caught out here!"

"So is that a yes?"

Kissing underground school for a good twenty minutes was a great way to start the day. Even if we almost got caught by Lukas and Vlad. Good thing we didn't take any clothes off. We really should refrain from making out right next to the elevator. It's a really bad habit to start.

We sneaked out of the janitors closet like spies and headed in opposite directions down the hallway. I had the urge to bust out into the James Bond theme, but I kept it inside. I kept many of my fanboy urges inside. As a child I grew up with books for friends, comforted only by the magical fairies and Sherlock. As well as many other classic's of course, but also have read many of the new young adult fiction books, Harry Potter probably being my favorite. SLYTHERIN FOR THE WIN!

I got to homeroom before most of my peers too. To all you slackers, there is no excuse for being late if I can spend every morning battling my brothers, spend countless minutes underground kissing someone I just met and still be early.

'Kissing someone I just met.'

Well when I put it that way it does sound shallow doesn't it? It was true as well, I mean how well did I really know Alfred? He could be a mass murderer or something. Well I suppose not, he is too busy with football to be one. Murderers are normally people with a lot of time, and are usually not that popular. Most have friends, they just aren't social butterflies, so Al wasn't a murderer. He couldn't be a kidnapper either, Matthew would have said something. But Matthew can't talk. Oh God he IS a kidnapper!
