I had set my alarm for 7:15, but I was so driven that I was able to get up as early as 6:30. I tiptoed downstairs with my dog Lucy, hoping mom wasn't up yet. Apparently she was though. " Why are you up so early? I know that you hate getting up so spill." She said. "Ummm... I'm just really excited to see Emma today cause she missed the first day." Emma is my BFF, and she had went on a camping trip in Montana for a while. It was true I couldn't wait to see her, but of course that wasn't the only reason. " Okay then." Mom says in a voice that tells me she knows there is another reason. I get most of my looks from my mom: my natural curly light brown hair, my blue-grey eyes, and my eyebrows and the Brewer family nose( which I think is bigger than it should be). This morning she was still in her pjs but she had made coffee already. " Hey mom?" " What" "Can I have a cup of coffee?" She thinks about it for a moment and then says,"Only if you pour me another one please." After I put the dog out and drank my coffee loaded with sugar I snuck back upstairs to get dressed. I chose jeans and a skin tight blue shirt with black and white roses on it even though the high for today was 85°. I only put on my regular necklaces and my flower earrings. After getting all my stuff ready for school and saying bye to the fam, I head out the door. I walk to school at 7:55, early but not too early. I get there and pass by one of the janitors. Most of them are cool little old ladies, but there are a few older guys. I think her name is Leona and two years ago for Christmas she was nice enough to give me a necklace with little rubies in it( which is my birthstone). I don't think she knew that though. I say hi and walk to my locker. Alex isn't here yet because he rides the bus's most of the time, but Emma is. "EMMA!!!" I squeal as I charge at her. "KAYLA!!" She yells back. We squeeze the breath out of each other and stand there laughing at ourselves. Her locker number is 239, which is perfect because only 3 other lockers are between mine and hers. " So, are there any new kids?" She asks. " Oh I totally forgot about that!!!! Yea there is this one guy who moved here from a few states away. I think his name is Cole or something. "She raises her eyebrows at me. " Is he cute?" She asks." Maybe to you, but I'm taken." Emma looks at me like "wtf" and then I explain what happened yesterday." Oh my god." She says when I'm done. The she starts I giggle like she's crazy. " Oh great. You are going to torture us now aren't you." She grins mischievously. " Yep." I smile to myself thinking that if she and Cole get together it's payback. "Well, speak of the devil," she whispers. Britney is strutting down the hall to her locker which is thankfully far away from ours. As she walks past us trying to act natural she sticks her nose even higher in the air like we are scum. We work on getting our stuff together for Earth Science after she walks by. It is now 8:10, and right on time Alex's bus pulls up. I hear the flood of teens before they reach the hallway. I stand in my locker and pretend to be busy until I hear his locker open next to mine. I look over at him to see him blush and look away. Apparently he likes this shirt. I make a mental note to wear my others like it more often. " Hi," I say to break the silence that is only by our two lockers. Emma is secretly watching from her locker and the other people around us are oblivious to anything going on. " Hi."he replies back looking at me with those eyes. Oh how I wish I could melt in his arms and gaze into those eyes all day long. Not yet though. I have to remind myself that we are at a school filled with people. Suddenly an idea pops into my head. We had been thinking of ways that we could be alone together but nothing came to mind. "Are you staying after today?" I ask him innocently. " Yeeea, why?" "Only because I found a way." He gets my meaning and looks at me hungrily." I am going to be staying after to help Mrs. Manstrom in the library for an hour today and half an hour on Friday. That should be good,right?" I tilt my head to the side as I ask him and he nods. " I'll be after for a while because of football practice so maybe." We smile at each other and walk to class together. Because we are in the back row we don't really have to worry about anyone seeing us holding hands under the table. Britney is sitting next to me, but she is doing a great job of ignoring me. Which is perfect because at least she isn't being her bitchy self. Even though she is playing with her straight blonde hair a lot and staring at Alex, even though he doesn't even look at her. She isn't trying very hard. As Mrs. Fyre starts teaching us about the layers of the earth, suddenly pauses and looks at the back row. "Britney, what is the metal that is in the core of the Earth?" She asks. Alex and I had been paying attention but apparently Brit was too busy being weird to." Umm, well it's .... Umm......... I don't know actually because Kayla was talking to Alex and I couldn't hear you." We immediately let our hands go as everyone stares at us. Emma suddenly speaks up. " Mrs Fyre, I am sitting right by them and I didn't hear anything. Did anyone else?" As she asks that everyone mumbles "no" and "I was too busy paying attention". Mrs. Fyre glares at Britney. See me after school," she says in an icy tone. This has never happened before and the whole class is shocked. She looks down and mumbles an okay before we study the Earth some more. Mrs. Fyre ends the class with her famous " Have a better day!" As we all walk out the door. After that we had two other class's until lunch. We still decide against sitting by each other, so I sat with Emma and Hannah. We talked about funny crap and stuff that had happened this summer. After lunch we had gym. As I walked to the girls locker room I felt someone grab my butt. What the hell... Turns out I wasn't the only one in the hallway and Ethan is standing there looking like he was some cool äss dude. Which to me he was but that's not the point. " What was that for," I ask with a smirk on my face as I walk up to him. We had finished lunch early and no one else was done yet. "The room with the equipment is empty." He suggests. " After we get or gym clothes on so we don't look suspicious. " " Deal." We go into the separate locker rooms and race to get dressed. When I'm done I run out and walk in to the room. He's already there, and when he sees me he walks over and presses me against the wall. I stand on my tiptoed and he leans down. We kiss, and at first it was sweet with need. But then it grew hot with want. He picked me up and I wrap my legs around his waist and I drape my arms over his shoulders. He has one hand on my butt and the other is in my hair while I have both my hands in his hair. Then he puts me down so he can do something bold. He puts one hand under my shirt and on my waist while his other hand is roaming my back like yesterday. I then sneak my hands under his shirt too and as my fingers roam across his abbs as I think to myself, he must work out a lot. We continue like this, like we can't get enough but we can't go that far, and then we hear footsteps. We hurriedly break away and straighten our clothes. He grabs a basketball and I grab a volleyball. Mrs. Orth, our history and gym teacher walks into the room. "Could you two put up the mats for kickball?" She asks us. " Sure!" We both reply at the same time. As we do that we constantly nudge each other and every now and then our fingers touch and we blush. I don't know why we are shy now when we weren't before. He must be thinking that too because he has a puzzled look on his face. " You look so cute when you are confused. " I tell him." You look so cute when you have your nose in a book." He replies. By the time we are done people are already coming into the gym. We go and grab our stuff and start warming up individually and then we start to get into groups. When Emma comes out she looks at me with that look that says " I know what you did" and smirks at me. I glance over at Cole and smirk back at her. She just blushes and we both giggle. After gym we have choir, English, and math. Then we have half an hour flex time. After I go to my home room I make up a reason to go to the library. Apparently Alex thought the same. Not many people were in the hallways and no one was in the library. I walked to the library by myself and started to reshelve books. All of a sudden someone behind me whispers "boo" in my ear and I drop my pile of books and whirl around. Yet again Alex is standing there except for this time he is grinning because he scared me. I glare at him, but who can stay mad at him for long when he puts on that pouty face. He gives me a teasing kiss that leaves both of use wanting more. Then he helps me pick up the books and shelve them. I stay in the library after the bell rings and he goes to change for practice. A few minutes later Mrs. Manstrom walks in and grabs some paperwork. Then she walks back out again. I shelve some more books and then Alex shows up. He is in his jersey and leggings ( I don't know what they r called so they are leggings ). Damn does he look hot. His hair was slightly messed up and you could tell he loved being outside. He walks over and gives me a kiss. I finish shelving the rest of the books and then we go sit in this big leather chair that is on the library. I sit on his lap and close my eyes as he plays with my hair. I have my hand on his thigh and I move my hand down it to see his reaction. He shudders and his heart starts pounding a little faster. We stay like this until he has to go back to practice. I kiss him and we share a kiss that says that we already miss each other. " I'll FaceTime you later." He says as he leaves. I nod my head and walk out to my locker. I pack up my bags and walk home. The 5 minutes gives me time to clear my head and put on my normal face so mom doesn't suspect anything. The kiddoes were ecstatic to see me, and I played with them till dinner. After I had done the dishes I FaceTimed Alex. We talked about random stuff for a hour and then we had to text otherwise out parents would hear us. Most of the time we sent each other sweet things or weird emojis and told stories in which they would have been used in. He's pretty good at that. We went to bed at 11:30 because we both agreed that we needed to take things slower and to chill out no matter how much we felt we needed it. I slept knowing how lucky I was that my crush actually liked me and that I wouldn't always be alone.
Do you guys think I wrote too much? Cause I'm sorry if I did I just got carried away. Please tell me if I should change anything and if there are any mistakes. Thanks for reading!! ~the creator.
