"Bills. Bills. Bills. A letter?"
Throwing the letters to aside, I carefully tore open the letter with my name on it. Slipping out the paper, a picture of a candle stood in the middle of a dark room with a Christmas tree in the back, showing some decorations off. Turning around the paper, loopy and cursive fonts were covering the back. The letter was written by my mom, she informs me that she and my dad would have to stay longer in New York longer so they won't be home until Christmas. But probably knowing them, they would be back home after the New Year.
]I hate them, how could they leave their only child all by herself?
Throwing out the paper into the trash, I go to finish my daily morning things before Ashton comes to pick me up. After 7, Ashton was in my driveway, his red rustic car shined underneath the bright sun. Ashton speeding through the streets with the windows down and kissing our skins with the cold morning air and the music playing softly in the back, it seems like time had slowed down.
I wished it had slowed down back when I was dancing with Calum. It had been about 3 weeks since the dance and dancing with Calum. Thank goodness no one had found out who I was or the girl who danced with Calum and refused to dance with Annie who won Homecoming Queen because he wanted to dance with the girl he had met earlier that night. If time had slowed down around that, I would've paid more attention to him and stayed away.
But ever since the incident at the diner, Luke had always been around me, making sure no one hurt me or bullied me. Which was so nice of him, I've grown to be comfortable being with Ashton, Luke, and Michael. Michael and I have great taste in music and very competitive in games. Like always, I'm always beating Michael's ass. I learned that Ashton actually likes my dear Angelina, I mean it was quite obvious. Also, I know the guys haven't told me but I know that they made up with Calum around the time of the dance. I know they think I'll hate them forever knowing that they are alright with Calum but I'm okay. I think I can stand up for myself.
Currently taking notes in the spiral notebook for my third period, for once it was quiet. Usually, Calum and his friends would be goofing off and giving Mr. B a hard time. Now, he was too busy writing on the board. My hand moved swiftly against the soft texture of the paper, too concentrated that I didn't even realize there was a light tap on my shoulder, someone had been tapping my shoulder for the past few minutes. Turning around to my right, it was met with brown eyes. And he was an extremely cute ass boy.
"H-Hey, sorry, I'm the new transfer student. The name is Wesley." Wesley introduced himself, whispering.
I slightly giggled.
"What's wrong?" Wesley quietly asked me.
"Sorry, Wesley reminds me from the movie-"
"The DUFF?"
"Omg, you know the movie?!" I asked Wesley, whispering.
"Um, yes? It's practically the best worst movie ever!-" whispered Wesley.
"Excuse me, Miss Winters, Mr. Williams. Is there anything you would like to share with the class?" Mr. B asked Wesley and I.
The whole class had their eyes on Wesley and I. My eyes wandered and landed on a boy with brown hair, Calum. He was partially sending death glares to us. I looked between the space of Wesley and I. We were so close like it was like we were going to kiss. I quickly sat up, "No, it's nothing, Mr. B, I was just helping out Wesley since he doesn't know what we are doing. He is a new student here."
Mr. B nodded and went back to the board before he turned around, he looked skeptical. I went close to Wesley's ear.
"No worries, I'll help you. Come sit with me at lunch with me and my friends."
Through the whole class, I helped Wesley catch up with his notes. Classes ended and it means it was lunch. Wesley told me he would be right back. I nodded and went to the other side of the class to exit. By the door, stood a familiar blonde hair. Lukey.
"Hi Lucas," I said.
"Please stop calling me Lucas. It's not my name." Luke whined.
"Fine... Laxus." I giggled running away from Luke.
"Oh no, you don't." I heard Laxus saying behind me.
It was hard to run in the crowded in the busy and chaotic hallway. A new pace was emerging a pathway, I ran to it but the feeling of arms were wrapping themselves around my waist. Whispering a 'gotcha' was enough for me to know it was Luke. He lifts me up and spun me around. We actually landed in front of my locker, Luke lets go of me, not bothering to help me settled down on the floor, I fell to the ground.
"Ouch."
"You're already falling for me?" Luke asked me.
"Will you shut up and help her up?" asked a familiar, approaching the two of us
I look up to seeing Michael. I pouted and put my arms up. I whined 'Upie'. Michael rolls his eyes and helps me up.
"Thank you-oh, there's a new transfer student and I'm helping him with our class. I hope you don't mind that I invited him to eat with us at lunch." I told Luke and Michael while opening my locker.
"Awww, Cassie found another nerd friend" teased Michael.
"Whatever." I laughed, putting some of my stuff away.
I felt a hands-on both of my shoulders, forcing me to spin around to see a nervous Luke.
"Is he like a nerd like you?" Luke asked me.
"Yeah, I guess. Oh there he is-Wesley!"
Luke and Michael's head turned to the direction where my index finger pointed. Wesley turned his head in the direction he heard his name. Once he saw me, he immediately says bye to his friends who seem to be from the soccer team. Welsey makes his way to my locker.
"He is not a nerd! He's a dream boy!" whispered Luke to Michael
"And maybe it's Cassie's dream boy," Michael whispers back as Wesley comes and leans on the lockers.
"Hey Cass" said Wesley.
"Hey Wes, "I said," Wes, this is my friends Laxus and Mickey. Laxus, Mickey, this is Wesley, he's a new transfer student."
"Sup, Wesley. And the names Michael, not Mickey. And he's Luke." Michael said.
"Hey, Michael"-shakes Michael's hand-" hey Luke."
Luke just gives a death glare to Wesley. Wesley is left with his hand out.
"Um, Ash just texted, he's outside." coughed Michael, cutting off the awkward tension.
"Great! Let's go!" I said, before closing my locker.
