For the past few days I have managed to stay under the raidar. Hallelujah! But I have not seen Andrew, which kind of makes me sad, although I am not sure why. Somehow this doesn't surprise me though, a cute guy like him would not waste his time on a shy, crazy, girl that is honestly not that pretty. He probably just said those things to be nice cause I was awkward, or he had the same intentions as Stephen.
As I am walking down the science hall to go to lunch I see Riley, who immediately comes up to hang out with me. Riley is my best friend in the whole world, and is so amazingly sweet, and although people think we are together or should be, that is not the case. He and I are just best friends.
He runs up and we start talking about how we think Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Dove should get together. We always talk about random stupid stuff, and it is surprisingly entertaining. However I have not told him about the "incident" with Andrew. There is nothing that will come of it so why bring it up?
However our fun doesn't last long, he has a different lunch period than me, so while he proceeds to calculus, the stupidest class ever, I go to eat my lunch on the bench alone. Again.
It is not that I used to sit with people. I mean, I don't have too many friends, and I am perfectly fine with that. I have Riley, and he is the only friend I need. Wow! Now that I say that it sounds really pathetic and cliché.
I make my way to the bench across the courtyard where I usually sit. I pull out my lunch for today, which consists of a Cesar salad with grilled chicken, and a bottle of water. My brother was always nagging me about how little I eat, and how "I need to get meat on my bones". I am not sure why I don't eat too much. It is just that after I eat a few bites of food I am too full to eat anything else.
As I am opening my container of creamy salad dressing to go with my food I hear an awfully familiar voice call my name.
"Charolett!" He screams, well my definition of screams, across the court yard, loud enough to get other people's attention, which is making me really uncomfortable. For reasons I don't, and may never understand.
He comes to a stop in front of me, almost slipping in the process from the loose gravel. And here I sit looking at a tall, muscular boy with jet black hair and sky blue eyes. We just look at each other for a second before finally talking to one another.
"Hey beautiful!" Andrew says, as if it is totally normal to call me that after we have only met once.
"Hey Andrew" I said in an almost questioning tone.
"So, what are you doing for lunch?" As a response I just hold up my lunch and look blankly at him.
"Not what are you having, what are you doing." He says.
"Absolutely nothing." I say and put the lid back on my salad to keep flies from getting into it.
"Great," he says before grabbing my salad and putting it in my lunchbox along with my water and handing it to me. "Than you can come sit with me!" He says grabbing my hand and interlocking our fingers. This was so weird, yet.... I kind of liked it.
He continued to walk with me till we got to the hill on the total opposite side of the courtyard. While we were walking I could not help but notice the strange looks that I was getting from the other people. Which didn't surprise me, because he he was really cute, and it was painfully obvious that I was not.
When we got to the hill I noticed one other girl was sitting there. I think that I am dreaming when I realize that it is Samantha Potter. She is one of the most "popular", as she calls herself, girls in the school. I, being the total opposite of this guy crazed, makeup covered girl, am highly unliked by her. I would say hated, but she insists that she does not hate anyone because "God doesn't want people to hate," which I fully agree with, considering I'm a Christian, but she is the most hateful person I have ever met. Just thinking of the irony makes me slightly smile, and I have to bite my lip to keep me from laughing.
I look at Andrew, our fingers still laced in each other's, and he is slowing down. He comes to a stop at the hill and let's go of my hand, which I slightly frown at, thinking it is not noticeable. That is until he looks at me and grabs my hand again, and sits down, pulling me with him. Oh my god. Did I just make his ego bigger?
We sit down together and I re-unpack my lunch out on the grass while I sit Indian style. He sits with a lunch tray in his lap leaning back on his hands. And I could not be any more awkward when I realize that he is staring at me. I have no idea what to do so we just sit there looking at each other.
I feel my face get warm and flushed. And that is the moment that Samantha decides to butt in and try and get his attention.
"Hey Andrew" she says in a smooth voice, making him turn his head.
"Hey Sam!" He says and slightly turns to face her with a gorgeous smile. This is so familiar!
I let go of his hand and try to play it off cool and grab my salad and start to eat.
"So how has your day been Andrew?" I hear Sam ask, still not looking at ether of them. I turn to grab my water from my side.
"Andrew?" I hear her say as I take a long drink of water.
"Andrew!" I hear her say and I finally decide to turn my head to de why she is causing such a commotion.
As I turn my head, slightly annoyed, and I come face to face with Andrew. I gasped at his hard stare, realizing she was saying his name cause he was not responding. Because he was too busy looking at me. Why he was looking at me I do not know.
I felt my face flush as he just kept staring. I could tell his lack of interest was pissing Sam off because she now sits there with her arms crossed across her chest and her mouth in a pouty lip. This makes me start to laugh even though I try so hard not to.
I pull my lips in my mouth in an attempt to stop the laughing but it doesn't work as a farting sound comes out of my mouth instead. Which causes him to burst into a fit of laughter as well.
Sam then looks at me and scowled as she stands up and stomps away from us as we continue to laugh at each other and ourselves.
<Hello! This is the second chapter I am posting today! I honestly had these typed up before I even started officially making this book! But that is okay! I will hopefully be writing soon.>
<No one has read this in the several weeks that I have put it up. Which is understandable considering that it is my first book and I ain't to great at this. But if anyone reads this, and yes I have been a weirdo and checking to see if anyone read it, I will gladly update if you like it.>
