Just Keep Swimming

Chapter 8

     Walking on the bus next morning, with a pop tart. I ate the first one and Cameron comes on and I give him the second one. As he grabs it he pushes me over to sit next to me. Brandon in the seat next to us and Jackson behind us.

He talks to Brandon and I finish mine. He has a bite left and I nudge him; he leans over and puckers his lips. I move closer to him and juke him out and eat his last bite. Brandon laughs and almost falls off the seat. Jackson was videotaping it -like always-.

"How was that for romantic," Brandon blurts out.

"I'm posting it right now," Jackson says peering over the seat.

Cameron pushes his face and grabs his phone deleting it. I giggle after swallowing my pop tart. He throws the phone back over the seat and says," no you ain't posting it now," I nudge him again and he gives me a look. I pucker my lips and he smiles. I lean in and he leans in and he pulls away and swoops me into his lap.

"Well now I have two things to post," Jackson comments," yeah I forgot to tell you. I have a recently deleted album.

Brandon laughs and high fives Jackson. Cameron groans and I grab his face biting my lip, trying not to laugh. I lean in, he puckers up, and this time we actually kiss.

Jackson pokes his phone over the seat and Cameron grabs his phone, not stopping the kiss, and turns his phone off. Brandon whoops as we kiss and Jackson whines for his phone back.

I laugh in between our last kiss before we have to leave the bus to get into class.

     I walk to my locker, and an announcement goes over the speakers,
       "Attention all students, go to your first class early! Thank you."
    
     I shrug, and I walk to my class. When I get up there, Katie and two other kids are there. The teacher sends the four of us down to the office. All I can think of is that we're in trouble.we get down there and there is about 15 other kids here. Are we all in trouble? 

     The principal, Mrs. Jamison, take the first five kids in her office. Then, three, four, three, and then us. Each kid comes walking out with a paper. UH OH, detention slips!

     I was wrong. No one was in trouble, just there was a change of schedules. Katie and I aren't in all the same classes anymore. There are three that were not together in. Jackson has those same classes as Katie, so she won't be lonely. 

     I walk back to my class and grab my things. Mrs. Jamison said to grab my things from the classroom and wait for the next bell to start the new schedule. The bell rings about an hour later, and I walk into the classroom. I'm the first one to arrive.

     I open my English book, I look up from my book and a couple more people come in and I have no idea who anyone is. Both the seats next to me are empty until, one boy sits next to me, I don't dare to look at him. He pokes me, I shake my shoulder and dig into my backpack for a pen. He pokes me again. 

     "What do you want," I say grouchy, I still don't look at him.

     "I wouldn't treat a good friend that way," he says.

    I look up. Oh it's Brandon. I smirk and nod my head, my way of saying hi to him. I turn back to him and start to laugh. He has a black eye. He quickly slaps his hand onto his head, and then winces with pain. I roll my eyes and go back to finding a pen. 

     I find one, it doesn't work. That's the only one I have. Crap! I start to panic and look over to Brandon, he laughs and pulls out a pen, wiggling it in my face. I groan and ask Brandon for one.

     "I'm sorry I don't have another one," he laughs.

     I punch him in the arm," give me one you jerk," I reply.

     He rubs his arm and whines," I told you I don't have another. Ow!"

     I apologized and then wait for the person who will take the seat next to me for a pen. But until then, I grab the rest of my supplies, spiral, folder, and pen, oh wait... never mind on the last one.

     "Is this seat taken," A voice says sweetly from above me. 

     "Nope, all yours," I reply.

     He sits down next to me and I can feel him staring at me. I ignore it. Brandon laughs and I look at him. He doesn't notice tho. He's looking at the other guy next to me. I look over and see its Cameron!

     I squeal," Omg babe, it you!," I say hugging him.

     He kisses my head and says," I heard there was a girl that is in need of a pen."

     "You are right, sir," I say as he hands me a black pen," How may I repay you, kind sir?"

     "Maybe with a kiss," he says leaning in, I smile and wiggle my eyebrows at him. He chuckles, grabs me and pulls me up to him. I lay my head down in his desk and he kisses my cheek.

    "I love you," I whisper.

    "I love you too," he says.

    "Forever?," I ask.

    "Forever," he says. Then he asks...

    "Okay?"

    "Okay."

    He holds me, until the teacher comes in. I swerve back into my seat and fix my hair that was laying on the desk. 

    "Hello class," he says," I'm your teacher, Mr. Anderbush."
