Our Sweet Innocent Love
Chapter One: Where and When It All Started
Imagine
Imagine this, it is the second day of the school year and you feel terribly sick. You wish you could stay home then, you run into this person. You both are rushing to class so you try your hardest to pick everything up so you can make it on time to class because you are running late.
“Sorry” says the strange boy. You look up and find a guy who looks extremely familiar yet, you are not sure who he is. “Oh um it’s okay don’t worry about it” you respond with a polite smile. You finally finish picking up all of your books and says “sorry I’ve got to run see ya!” you say with a final wave and turn on your heels and leave running. You hear steps behind you so you run faster till you make it to your class and walk in handing your schedule to your teacher and sitting down in your assigned seat.
Alex’s P.O.V.
“Ugh!” I thought as I sat in my seat. I hate school I rather be home doing nothing. I turned up to see the guy I just bumped into in the hallway. He smiled at me. And I felt this weird sensation in my stomach. He’s smiling at me. I couldn’t help the grin that spread across my face. “Okay! Okay! We get it guys you both obviously have a thing for each other. Get over it!” Omar. Of course he would make fun of us.
“Whatever, Omar, Shut up and leave me alone.” Yes I did just say that to my friend. But come on in my defense who those that? I barely know the poor guy. If I am not mistaken his name is Jamess. Yeah, that’s his name. James. I like his name. “okay students write down the journal prompt and turn it in. you have 15 minutes. Hurry.” With that she walked to her desk and started to type some stuff while we worked on our journal.
Fifteen minutes later we had finished and she started explaining a project we had to do in groups of three. She then proceeded on assigning us our group “Alexandra, James, and Omar. You guys are group3, please start with your work.” The guys got up and moved to the desks next to mine and we started doing our work. I found out that James name is in fact James and that Omar loves talking about his girlfriend. I feel so uncomfortable talking about relationships because I just recently dumped my boyfriend less than a week ago.
He was probably an ass to me, but I never truly cared about him. Though it did hurt when I found out he was using me to get my friend jealous so she would date him. But, oh well, life goes on. “So, Alexandra, right? How was your summer?” asked James. “Hey, um yeah but, you can call me Alex for short. Most people do. And I would say okay. I mean I didn’t really do much my dad was out of town and my mom works so I was pretty much the babysitter” I said with a little laugh at the end. “How about you? James, right?”
“It was okay as well. I was also the babysitter” he laughed. Oh my gosh his laugh is so cute. “Hey can you pass me the glue?” I grabbed the glue and handed it to him. When he grabbed it our hands touched and I felt this electricity shooting up my arm. We both froze.
When I turn to look up at him he was already looking at me. He felt it too. We both smiled at each other and I let go of the glue and pretend like nothing happened and just kept working. After a few more minutes the bell rang while James and I were having an argument about One Direction.
“Shut up James, seriously! You know nothing about good music.” Seriously he didn’t even listen to music! Yes I love One Direction. “Me? Who is the one that likes to listen to One Direction?” this guy is so getting on my nerves “Who is the one that doesn’t listen to music at all?”
He didn’t get a chance to respond because the teacher assigned me to my seat. I think it’s stupid how the teachers assigned us seats. Ugh! Stupid school. The class seemed to drag on ugh such a waste of time for reals like ugh we should be home sleeping right now. Not here. Gosh! I think I’ll go to sleep for a little while. I laid my head in my arms on top of the desk. To my luck James sits right next to me but I’ll ask him to wake me up before lunch anyways.
“James?” I whispered. No answered. “James!” I whisper yelled this time. He heard. “What’s up?” “Sorry but can you wake me up before we leave to lunch please?” “Um.. sure but you do know we are suppose to be taking notes, right?” Ugh duh of course I know that. “Yes James I am aware of that. But I know this already we learned it last year, remember?”
I might not sound as a smart person and I don’t mean to brag but, I am in advanced classes with James and well lets say we kind of already know all of this since the sixth grade no big deal no big difference. So yes I was allowed to go to sleep during classes.
“Yes Alexa I know but, still. There must be something new or we wouldn't have to take notes, right?” did he just called me Alexa? It’s Alex or Alexandra. Not Alexa. Ugh! Guys this days. “Did you just called me Alexa? Is it like a new nickname or something? But, whatever forever are you going to wake me up or not?”
“Yes in fact I did and yes it is my nickname for you. No one else can call you that okay? Promise? I like my nickname for you and I want to be the only one that calls you that.” I couldn’t help but smile a bit at his words. I bit my bottom lip while I thought if I should let him call me that. “Okay. You can.” I smiled at him.
