Before I forget

Chapter two

History is one of Cara's favorite subjects.  It's not her favorite because she loves to learn about her ancestors and how the the world was back then.  It was her favorite, because a hot, sexy, juicy, gorgeous man is in the same class.  His name is Toby, Toby Sanders.  He has been Cara's crush since sixth grade.  She is like any other teenager when they get a crush.  She stalks him on social media, writes her name with his last name all over a piece of paper, she cut his yearbook photo out and taped it to her bedroom door, she named her teddy bear after him and cuddles it every night, she goes to every single one of his baseball games, and she writes fanfics about her and him that always ends up with them married with five kids and a dog.  Ok, maybe not every single teen does this, but let's be honest, some of it's true.

Before she went to class, she stopped by her locker to get her history book and notebook, then she went into the bathroom.  She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.  She has been getting really bad headaches lately and she even looks tired and   
Kind of pathetic.  Her mind started drifting off thinking about Toby.

Every time She tried to talk to him, she always ended up embarrassing herself or she stutters while talking gibberish.  She told herself every day that this was the day she would finally talked to him and make him her baby daddy, but she always backs out.  She came back to reality when she heard the door open.  She looked back to see a girl walk in and walk into a stall.  She quickly looked back at the mirror.  " You can do this. " she told herself.  " Today is the day!  I will walk in there and I will make him mine!  I will barge in there and say ' YOU WILL BE MINE AND YOU WILL LOVE ME!!! ' "  All of a sudden she hears a muffled voice say, " You know, I would love to hear more, but I'm kind of doing something right now.  Do you mind? " Cara totally forgot about the girl who came in not to long ago.  " Yeah, I'm so sorry.  I'm just going to go to class now."  Cara then walked out of the bathroom with flushed cheeks.

*************

Cara was sitting at her desk drooling over Toby when her phone buzzed.  Thank gosh her phone was on vibrate, so no one heard it.  She slipped it out of her pocket and kept it out of sight while she opened her phone.  It was Amy. 

Amy
Hey girl!!  How is staring at that hunk, huh?  Are you drooling yet?  ;)

Cara smiled and rolled my eyes at her text

I'm not telling you!!  Why don't you go bother someone else?  You're going to get me in trouble!!

She started to put her phone carefully back when it went off again.  This unexpected motion almost caused her to drop it. 

Amy
Who cares if you get in trouble?  I heard that's were all the sexy bad boys are!!  Who wouldn't want to go see that?  Plus I need to know what happens in your love life.  Tell me.  What's he wearing?

She rolled my eyes before sneaking a little peek at Toby again half smiling.

Why would I tell you?  He's my crush!  Now seriously stop texting me.  Mr. Hoffman is almost done with his stupid presentation thingie.  I don't have time for detention.

Cara look up to see Mr. Hoffman finishing up his last slide when she got another quick text.

Amy
Fine!!  Be that way.  The bell is about to ring anyways.  Just keep your little horny eyes to your self until I have another chance to talk to you.  Love ya!! 

" Ms. Floid?! " Cara looked up to see Mr. Hoffman standing at her desk with folded arms across his chest.  " Is there something you want to share with the class? "  Cara quickly looked over to see the whole class staring at her, including Toby.

Her palms and forehead started to sweat and her mouth went dry.  " I-I don't....... don't h-have...... no. "  Cara stuttered.  Her teachers hands were now on his hips.  " You know you can't text in class.  Now, if you don't read your texts out loud, then I will have to do it myself!! "

Mr. Hoffman was always Cara's least favorite teacher.  He always had an expression on his face that said, " I'm only here for the money and to make you all miserable. "  The only time Cara saw him smile is when he was admiring his new car.

Cara's eyes widened.  " I don't think that, um, that would be a good idea.  I.... I'd rather not. " Mr. Hoffman then put out his big crusty hand.  " Well then, I think you should hand it over and I will- "  The bell then rang.  Cara quickly stuffed her things in her bag and ran out of the room to the bathroom.  She ran into a stall, locked the door, threw her bag at the wall, and sat on the toilet.  She put her head in her hands and started crying.

" That was so embarrassing, " Cara thought.  " Now how am I going to talk to him?  He probably thinks I'm a loser who doesn't even know how to talk correctly. "  Cara then heard the bathroom door open and close.  " Cara? " it was Amy.  " Are you in here? "  Cara sniffled and said, " Just go away, Amy. " Amy was not standing at the stall.  " Come on, Cara.  Tell me what happened.  You've been in there for a while you know. "

That's when the words just fell out of Cara's mouth.  " Of course I've been in here for a while!!  I just humiliated myself in front of my crush.  Actually, it wasn't just my crush.  It was my whole class!!  I could even see some giggling and whispering to each other.  Do you know how embarrassing that is?  Oh wait, you don't.  Do you know why you don't?  Because you are little miss perfect who does everything right!! " Cara slammed the stall door open.  She was now pointing her finger at Amy who was now wide eyed.

" Why were you even texting me during class?!  You knew I was gonna get in trouble.  How come you didn't get caught, huh?  You could have been the one getting embarrassed in front of your crush, but no!!  I was the one who got in trouble even though I was the one who didn't want to text in class, because I knew this would happen!! " She then fell to her knees cupping her neck and bringing her head to the ground.

Amy then sat next to Cara placing her hand on her back.  " Cara, I am so so sorry this happened.  I didn't mean for this to happen."  Amy sighed while she ran her hand back and forth on Cara's back.  " Look, maybe you just need to take a break.  How about we skip the rest of school.  We can go to my house and just talk, OK? "

Cara sat up and ran her fingers through her hair.  " Yeah, I guess your right.  Anything to get out of this prison. "

Amy then stood up and put out her hand for Cara, which she accepted.  They both walked out of the school calmly, hopped into Jessica's care, and drove to Jessica's house.
