I open my eyes as I hear my alarm go off. I hit the off button and look at the time. 6:30. I groan and roll on to my back and just stare at the ceiling for a good five minutes going over all the reasons I don't want to get up. I finally sit up and get dressed. I put on my favorite pair of jean shorts, a grey tshirt and my favorite white converse. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. I stare at my blonde hair and wonder what to do with it. I have very fine hair and it doesn't hold a curl. I decide to straighten even though it will most likely not be straight by the end of the day. I also put on a little mascara. I've never been much of a makeup person anyways.
I check my phone and it's only 7:15. So I quietly open and shut my door and tiptoe down the hall into the kitchen. Looks like nobody's up yet. I get out a special cup, some almond milk, strawberries, and some protein powder and make myself a smoothie. I have always been the "healthy" one in our family. I don't really do soda. Only on occasion. And I do limited sugar. I just try and be as healthy as I can be.
I'm sitting at the table drinking my smoothie when I hear footsteps. I recognize them as Nate's. If you live with someone long enough you learn to tell whos footsteps are whos. "Morning sunshine." He says as he walks in. I smile at him and say "Morning sleeping beauty. Decide to sleep in? It's 7:30. School starts in thirty minutes." He takes out a package of pop tarts and puts them in the toaster. "I know. I'm a guy, it doesn't take me as long to get ready as you girls. Beside, we only live two blocks away so we won't be late."
I walk to the sink and rinse out my smoothie cup. "Okay just be ready in five." I head to my room to grab my backpack. "I will!" He semi-yells from the kitchen.
-TIME LAPSE TO SCHOOL-
I walk into school and I have five minutes to get to class and it's on the other side of the building. I inwardly groan. I half walk and half run to class and on my way there I see Timothy, my ultimate crush, standing at his locker. I've had a crush on him for at least two years and I've known him practically all my life. His dad came to pastor our church when I was six years old. We're great friends and I've never told him about my feelings in fear of ruining that relationship. I slow down when I'm a couple lockers away from him. And what I see next breaks my heart. Monica Hartford walks right up next to him as he's shutting his locker and grabs his hand. They then start walking down the hallway hand in hand. I stand there stunned and not knowing what to do. I quickly come to my senses though and briskly walk to science class. I will definitely be late for class now. I try and hold back tears. I know it's ridiculous, but seeing him with another girl just crushed me. I knew he would never like me. I mean have you seen me? I'm not pretty and I'm extremely awkward. And him with his dark brown hair that hangs over his his forehead almost reaching his bright blue eyes. I'm sure every girl would want to be with him, and I would most likely be his last choice.
I rush into science class and everyone turns their head to look at me. I stand there and say, very awkwardly I might add, "I'm so sorry I'm late. It won't happen again." Mrs. Roberts looks at me for a second before responding. "Okay please take a seat. And make sure it never happens again. It's very disrupting to the class." I quickly take the seat that next to Katherine has saved for me. She looks at me with a knowing look in her eye. She knows I'm never late to anything. "Later" I mouth to her. She nods and we both turn our attention to the class. Well at least she did. I found myself thinking about Timothy and Monica. I never even knew he liked her. He's never had a girlfriend before and never expressed any interest in having one. I don't know. My head hurts know and I just try and pay attention to the rest of the class...
Wow!!! 783 words. That's crazy!!! Pretty long chapter so I give myself a pat on the back 🙌🏻
Lol that's it. I need a good exit phrase. Is my peace out girl scout annoying? Eh, I'll do it any ways. PEACE OUT GIRLSCOUT!!! ✌🏼️
