Only You

Chapter 5: Falling Fast

I know I've only been in school for a while but I wish weekends were longer. My teachers have been giving me lots of work and each one think their class is the most important of all, it's exhausting. On the other hand, my friends and I have been hanging out more often and that's pretty fun, I like how our friendship is going, and the fact that we have almost all of our classes together makes it even better.

Since my sister told me to don't say anything to my mom and dad about her situation I couldn't contain myself, so I downloaded a journal app. It's basically like a real diary but in my phone, and to access you need a secret code, which I only know and I've been writing all the things that had happened and how I feel about it, and it's really been helping me a lot. I'm not much of a writer, but getting everything off my chest helps me so much. I'm still worried about certain stuff though.

"Hey there." Liam's voice interrupts my thoughts.

"Hey, how are you?" I say, watching him sit behind me.

"I'm good, thanks." He says, "Did you understand our Chemistry homework?" he asks. In other words, he wants the homework.

"Yeah, I think. But I don't know if everything's right." I honestly answer.

"Don't worry, I just didn't get the last part and I don't want the professor to get all upset for not doing it." He says while giving me that charming smile of his.

"Here you go." I say.

"Thanks." He smiles and takes the notebook from my hand.

Minutes later he hands my notebook back and thanks me again. I hate when people ask me for my homework. I work hard and dedicate my time doing it the best I can and they just come and copy all my effort and I know I can say no, and sometimes I say that, but with some friends I just can't, and Liam has something that makes me want to give him everything, but I still know it's wrong.

Do I have a crush on him? Maybe.

"Allie have you seen Liam's biceps? They're so big!" Stella tells me in a low voice.

"No, I haven't." I lie. "Are they that big?" I ask. Of course I've seen him, I'm not blind but I don't want them to know I've been checking him out.

"They're perfect. Every single part of him is perfect." Scarlett says smiling.

"Sophia, Pamela and Lauren told me they had a crush on him." Stella informs us.

"What? All of them do?" I ask.

"Yes, and they're just a few, there's more." Stella answers.

"I've heard that half of the girls from this classroom do." Scarlett says looking at us with wide eyes and a smile.

"Oh wow, that's impressing. And does he know that?" I ask again. I think I'm asking a lot of questions, but I just want to know. I'm being curious, only pure curiosity.

"Maybe." Scarlett says.

"I don't think so, he doesn't know half of them." Stella says with a creepy smile. And how does everyone know him? There are a lot of people in this school and this is the first semester I've seen him.

"And do you guys have a crush on him too?" I ask.

"Of course, he's hot." Both of my friends say at the same time.

"Don't you?" Scarlett asks me.

"Well yeah, he's cute." I say and giggle. Of course I like him, he has this perfect smile that makes my heart melt when he shares a smile to me, and I do have notice his biceps several times and the way he talks to me is so different from anyone else. But I didn't know that many girls liked him.
