WELCOME TO MY FIRST BOOK!
******** Chapter 1: The Beginning
Yesterday. That's all I can think about yesterday. What could I have done? Why did this happen? When did this start? Well I can answer the last one, it was two months ago it all started. Well, obviously you're not going to just get what happened yesterday right now. You atleast need to learn the back story. So here we go, the beginning.
My name is Ryan Falls and I'm a junior at East Wake High in Northern California. I just rolled out of bed and about to go to school. I looked in the mirror before I left for school, I'm not a bad looking guy I guess, save the cockiness for someone else but I wouldn't categorize myself as ugly. I had messy brown hair, messed in a good way though, and blue green eyes. I play baseball so I'm definitley not out of shape. But anyways, I jumped in my truck and started to head for school, before I go I have to pick up my friend Jared.
"Hey," Jared said as he hopped in.
"Hey what's up," I said peeling out of the driveway.
"Nothing really, have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
There's a new girl, I think they said her name was Vallorie or something like that. But anyways she's in our grade."
"Oh cool, do you know what time practice is tonight?" I ask changing the subject, why? I don't even know.
We had a long conversation about baseball and we pulled into the school and parked. We both hopped out of the car and started heading towards the school. We get to school pretty early to see our friends. But I stopped dead in my tracks. There was a beautiful girl on the bench outside. She had really long black hair and vibrant green eyes. I couldn't pull my eyes away from her. Jared nudged me "already got your eye on the new girl eh?"
"That's her?" I gaped.
"Yeah bro, don't scare her though, she's gonna think you're some crazy stalker or something let's go."
As we walked into school I was still in a daze. I said goodbye to my friends and started heading towards my English III class. As I walked in and took my seat I couldn't even focus on what the teacher was saying, something about a stupid test. Whatever, easy class to pass. The bell rang and I threw my stuff into my bag and headed to my next class which was Webpage Design and I stopped dead in my tracks, in the seat next to mine was, what's her name? Valentine? I don't even know.
I went to go take my seat when she looked up at me, "hey."
I just stared at her, my mouth hanging open, 'come on Ryan say something, or at least close your mouth you're probably scaring her.' "H-hey," I managed to croak out. My face turned instantly red as she smiled and turned away. 'God damnit Ryan what is wrong with you!' I think while I jsut shun myself, 'I'm such an idiot.'
Half of the class was over and I haven't said a single word to her, 'time to man up.' I looked over at her and she was spacing out, so I just started talking, "hey, my name is Ryan. What's yours?"
She quickly snapped out of it and looked over at me, "my name is Vanessa," she smiled.
Vanessa, wow, we were both wrong. Ha idiots. "Cool, well welcome to East Wake High. Where'd you move from?"
"I moved here from New York, and thank you."
"Oh cool!" I casually turned away, aw yeah, I'm being normal. Hopefully she has forgotten about my damn stutter. I looked back at her and she just smiled and turned away. Then the bell rang and she quickly got up and left, 'hm wonder what that's about.'
The day passed by quickly, the last bell rang and I walked out to my car. I was waiting for school traffic I got a called on my cell, I looked and it was Jared, "hey buddy, get the girl yet?!"
I sighed, my friends can be obnoxious sometimes, "no bro, I'm not like you, I don't move that quickly, I like a nice relationship."
He made a throwup noise, "whatever, you're just wasting time."
"No I'm making things special and last, unlike your failed attempts at relationships, bye buddy."
"Bye loser!"
I hung up and rolled my eyes, whatever. What can I say? I'm a good guy, I like the relationships that last and are not about how many girls can you sleep with. Call me old-fashioned but hey, it is what it is.
I get to my house and I go and lay on my bed, rubbing my hands over my face. 'I just really hope this works out.'
