Whispers Of A Lover

Chapter One

"Addy get up" my mom told me for like the fifth time.

I groaned and rolled out of bed knowing if I don't get up my mom will resort to drastic measures, like a cup of cold water or banging a spoon on a pot.

I drag my feet on the carpet to the bathroom as my mom rushes pass me to the Kitchen "about time your up lazy bones got up there is breakfast on the table and you might want to do something with your hair" she tells me concealing a smirk but not very well, I roll my eyes and go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. My hair is sticking out in every direction and even I have to admit, looks funny. 

I jump in the shower and follow through with my normal daily routine before school. By the time I make it to the kitchen table my eggs are already cold but I shovel them into my mouth anyways. "Addy are you almost done we should have left by now" my mom complains. I roll my eyes and put my plate in the sink and grab my backpack.

"I'm coming, I'm coming don't get your panties in a twist" I muttered that last part under my breath. "what was that you said dear" my mom asks with one eyebrow raised. "I said that you look beautiful today" I tell her with a smile, "mhm must have heard you wrong." I just smirk and head towards the car.

--------------------------------------------------------------
"Have a great day, I love you" my mom tells me as I'm getting out of the car at school "Love you to mom" I tell her my cheeks heating up in embarrassment due to the fact that a group of cheerleader walked by at that very moment. They looked at me weird and started laughing "isn't that cute, she said she wuvs her mommy" one of them said in a mimicking tone.

I just roll my eyes and turn to wave at my mom one final time as she is pulling away. I start my journey to the front doors of my school or as I like to refer to them the gates of hell, but its whatever everyone has their own personal preference.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I walk into the cafeteria (which is our designated waiting area before school) and make a beeline for our table. Hazel is already sitting there, it is usually me there first but I fought getting out of bed this morning.

"Its about time you showed up Max stopped by before he went to athletics and said to meet him at the movies at seven and its a date". My heart swooned a little bit in excitement, did he finally ask ME, Addy Avery on a date? My thoughts started to take flight to the clouds but Hazel punching me in my arm brought me back to earth.

"You know he didn't mean it THAT way" she tells me and my shoulders sag "I know but imagine if he did all my dreams and hopes and plans for our future, I mean my future would be fulfilled." I tell her exasperated.

"I know. I know. You want little Max babies running around yelling mommy" she tells me with a roll of her eyes. "Well I mean yeah but a first date would be nice to start with" I tell her we both look at each other and start laughing. Hazel obviously knows about my huge crush on Max and deals with my pitiful starry eyed hopes and dreams.

The first bell rings I sigh and get up pulling my bag on my shoulder, "And the fun begins" I say to Hazel sarcastically, "so it would seem" she tells me. We part ways as I head for U.S History and she goes to Algebra II.
