The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
"Hey Mitchel." I said shyly as he passed by me in the hall. He looked at me, his brown hair falling into his eyes. He brushed them off to the side with a quick hair flip, and shot me a smile.
"Hey.." he paused, trying to remember my name.
"Valerie." I said after a few minutes of hearing him call me the wrong names.
"Valerie!" he repeated. "I knew that, I just-" someone ran into him, and his attention turned to the football team, who were laughing at something. Mitchel ran off with them, not even bothering to finish his sentence.
I sighed, and closed my locker door. Why do I keep on trying to be his friend? Obviously he's got plenty, and doesn't need another one. I've got friends, so I don't need him.
Do I?
He's just so..energetic, with a side of mystery. You never know what wacky thing he'll do next. One moment he's doing homework, and the next he's causing a paper ball war.
As I left the school to head home, I heard laughter to my right. Looking over, I see Mitchel leaning against the school building, one leg propped up, earbuds in his ears. I felt a small smile spread across my face at the sight of him, just standing there, bobbing his head to the music.
"Valerie?" someone called, causing Mitchel to look over at me, and causing me to blush and quickly look away.
"Hey." I said to my friend Anna, who called me.
"Were you looking at Mitchel again?" she asked. "Lost in your thoughts?"
I rolled my eyes, and shook my head. "I was lost in my thoughts, but they weren't about-"
"You were thinking of him kissing you, weren't you?" Anna interupted.
"No." I said slowly. "I was thinking of something else. Not him kissing me."
"But you want him to." she said. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever. You gonna take me home?"
"Yea, hop in." she said, as we walked up to her car. I slipped into the passenger seat, and Anna got into the front seat.
"Dang." Anna said before starting the car. "I left my homework in my locker. I'll be right back." she got out again, and jogged up to the front of the school.
I sighed, and looked at my surroundings. I looked down at the floors of Anna's car, and then back up at the school building. My eyes soon wandered over to where Mitchel stood, in that same position, but looking up at the horizon.
I sighed, resting my elbow on the side of the car door, and my cheek on my hand. I tried to look at something else, but the school was deserted by now, so I could only look at Mitchel.
'Do you like him?' I thought randomly. I continued to stare at Mitchel, and sighed again. 'Maybe..'
"Got my things." Anna said, slamming the car door. I jumped, frightened by the loud noise, and the fact that Anna had returned. She looked at what I was starring at, and rolled her eyes.
