Color Me In

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP

Shit!

I grabbed my Iphone and looked at the time that was displayed on the blindingly bright screen. CRAP. It was already 8 o'clock and I was suppose to be at school at 7:30.

I quickly hopped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Before taking a shower I brushed my teeth and ran a brush through my hair. I was in and out of the shower in five mintues. There was no time for trying to look cute today so I grabbed the first thing that I saw. Which happened to be a pair of dark brown riding boots, dark washed skinny jeans, and a plain burgundy long sleeve shirt.

"Sarah, your late again. What am I going to do with you?" My mom said while leaning on the door of my room.

I grabbed my keys and phone off my nightstand, and passed by her while stopping to give her a kiss on the cheek.

"I know, I know mom. I promise this wont happen again. Love you!" I said while running down the stairs and out the door.

The instant I walked out the door, I was hit with the cold. I totally forgot to grab a jacket on my way out. I really hope I dont get sick because I can not affored to miss another day of school. I decided to just suck it up and hop into my car. I immediately started the car and turned the heat up. A wave of relief washed over me as I looked in the back seat and saw my bookbag and my black northface jacket there.

"Thank God."

I forgot that I left that in here, so I put it on and zipped it up and drove to school.

When I arrived at school it was already 8:30. I walked into the front office already knowing what was coming.

"You're late once again Ms.Collins." Said the school's secretary while she rolled her eyes at me.

"I know. Sorry, Ms...uhhh" I had no idea what her name was because I dont like her enough to care. She was always really snappy towards me.

"Its Ms.Wright." She snapped.

"This is your forth tardy this year so I'm going to have to give you detention for two hours. Maybe next time you will think twice about being late."

I grabbed the detention slip she handed me and talked out ther office. The bell signaling that first period has ended rung, and the halls soon filled with people. I was walking to my second period when I saw my best friend Ally runing up to me. I quickly started going the other direction untill I heard her calling after me.

"Stop right there young lady!"

I turned around and waited for her to catch up enough to be by my side.

"Oh, hey Ally! I didnt see you there. Whats up?" I said with the most innocent look I could come up with. She grabbed my arm and started walking to our next class, which we just happened to have together.

"Don't you 'hey Ally' me. You were late today, and I bet you got detention, didnt you?" She said while raising one of her eyebrows.

"Maybe, but no time for that now. The bells about to ring." I managed to grab her arm and pull her into our physics class just before the bell rang. We grabbed our seats and I pulled out my notbook and pretened to be listening while our teacher went on. When really, I was just thinking about finally getting away from this place when I graduate.

Im 18 and Im a senior, so you can probably guess that Im ready to get the hell out of here. I was born and raised in this small town of Homewood,Texas. Dont get me wrong, I love my school, and the people in it, which was only about 1,000, but I dont really like the older people here. You see, Im black and all my life I've been raised in a town of mainly white people. Of course I've always known that I'm black, and my town isnt necessarily racist, but I've always felt as though I was being watched. I know a lot of people think that racism isn't a thing anymore, but it is, its just very subtle.

There are only just 5 black people in my school, but that doesnt matter. My school has always been nothing but awesome. The people are so nice, and I have a lot of friends there. Its just the parents would rather their son be with a white girl, instead of a black girl. Which is why I have never had my frist kiss, or my first boyfriend. It actually kind of funny in a way. I have always been told that I am gorgeous, with my long black hair reaching below my breast, my flawless caramel skin and big brown eyes. I have never felt as though I wasnt pretty. I guess some people just can't accept some things.

"Ms.Collins, would you like to share with the class what you are day dreaming about?" said my really old teacher, Mr.Thomas.

My head snapped in his direction as I tried not to get red in the face.

"No Mr. Thomas, Im good."

The rest of the day went by pretty quickly, and before I knew it, I was make the dreadful walk towards room B104. The place where detention is always held, but when I peaked into the room, it was empty, and dark.

"Are you looking for the detention room?" I heard a voice say behind me.

I turned around to see the most gorgeous man standing there. I knew exactly who he was too, his name is Holden. He is the most popular white boy in our school, and boy was he a looker. With his black hair, piercing blue eyes, and nice body, he was everything a girl could want. Especially this girl. Confession time: I've always had a major crush on him.

"Yeah, I am. Do you know where it is?" I said trying not to look intimidated by his presence.

"Yup, I'm walking there now. We can walk together." He said with a smirk playing on his lips. For a moment there, I felt as though I saw him checking me out, but maybe it was just wishful thinking.

"Okay." He began to walk and I walked right along him.

"Sarah, right?" When he said my name it could have made me melt.

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

"Well I heard that you have a pretty good kicking leg at soccer from your team mates."

"Eh, I guess Im alright." I could just feel myself blushing.

"Come on now, Ive been to your games before, and you are really good."

He goes to my games? How could I have not noticed? I guess I was to concentrated on the game.

"Well thanks." It was taking all my will power to not jump up and down with excitement.

"Sorry, I never told you my name, Im Holden.I guess we're going to be stuck with each other for a while, and I dont think I mind." He said when we finally arrived at the room detention was being held at today.

"Ladies first." He said while holding the door for me.

"Such a gentleman I see." I said while stepping into the room and walking towards the teachers desk.

"I try my best." He whispered in my ear, sending a chill down my spine.

I handed my detention slip to the teacher and went to grab a seat. After holden did the same he took the seat right next to me. It wasn't long before the teacher got up and started walking out the classroom.

"I'll be back in an hour to check on you all. No talking." he said before leaving.

The instant the teacher left, Holden pushed his chair closer to mine.

"So, Sarah, what are you in detention for?" He asked me with a playful expression.

"Shhh, he said no talking." I said while putting a finger to my lips. I watched his eyes as they lingered on my lips for a few moments until he snapped out of it.

"Oh, goody two shoes I see. Fine then, Ill go first. Im in detention because I punched that douchebag named caleb in the face."

Wait, Caleb was the guy I always hated becuase he would always bully me, Im glad someone punched him already. I put my hand on his arm without thinking.

"Really?! Well thank goodnees someone finally did it. That guy is such a jerk." I took my hand off of his arm and looked into his eyes. He had such a carefree expression that I've alway liked about him.

"Okay, well my reason isnt as cool as yours, but I'm in detention because I'm always late to school."

"You, late to school? Not Ms.Goodytwoshoes." he said he with a laugh that lit up his eyes, I could just look at them all day long, but I snapped myself out of it.

"Well I guess I'm not so good after all." I said while playfully slapping his arm.





The rest of detention went by pretty quickly, with Holden making me laugh untill I was red in the face. Then the teacher came back in and said that detention was over for today.

I gathered my stuff and walked to the schools front door with holden. I was about to walk to my car when Holden pulled me back.

"Let me walk you to your car." he said with a shy expression taking over his face.

"Were in the same Physics class right?"

Yeah, why?" I asked, wondering where he was going with this.

"Well I really need help studying for the test on friday, so do you think you could come over tomorrow?" he said while staring at my lips. I couldnt help but giggle a bit, he was being so sweet.

"Sure, I'll drive over after school." I replied, and bit my lips, it was a nervous habit. I was about to get in my car he pulled my wrist.

" I need your number silly."

He handed me his phone and I typed in my number and gave it back.

"Just text me so I have your number too." I said, for some reason, I was still nervous.

"Hold still, you have an eyelash on your cheek." His face became serious as he took the eyelash off my cheek and blew it away. He was so close to me that I bet her could here my heat beat, which was going faster now.

"What did you wish for?" I asked barely above a whisper because he was so close.

"I cant tell you that, or else it wont come true."

All on a sudden, I felt his lips pressed to mine. He gently and slowly kissed me with his hand behind my neck.

"I guess my wish did come true after all." Was all he said as he got into his car and drove home.
