The New Kid

The Note And The Boy

So I'm just sitting there at lunch at my table like normal, talking with my three best friends about stupid drama that goes along over in the school so far this year. But halfway through lunch this new kid that's in my class came up to me didn't say a word but looked at me straight in the eye and handed me this note. All my friends laughed at me and said it was a love letter and he was asking me out. I look at them frustrated like then opened it. It said stand up in two minutes with your tray. I pause for a moment and reread it.Why does he want me to stand up in two minutes with my tray? What is this supposed to mean? I tried looking for him in the cafeteria to ask him what this means but I couldn't find him anywhere. My friends kept asking me what I was doing and what the letter said but I didn't even respond to them. I was so anxious and worried of what this meant. 2 minutes later I stood up with my tray worried that something bad would happen to me. But then this boy ran into me. He fell and my food and drink went all over him. I felt so bad I started getting napkins and helping him clean up his shirt. But he just smiled at me. I smile back not realizing who it was. Then I realized... it was Keith the guy who I have been crushing on for 2 years now and I never had a chance to talk to him. Hs was as always with his friends. She said "I think I'm going to need a shower and definitely a new shirt. Can you walk with me to the nurse's office so she don't think that I did this on purpose"? He asked me. I'm not at my head & we started walking to the nurse's office so he can get a new shirt on. But then the principal walked in with a mad face. "What's going on here? did you purposely try to start some cat food fight?" He said looking me straight in the eye. Keith said "no that's not what happened I wasn't paying attention to where I was working and she was just trying to take over to try and I fell and her food on all over me that's it!" Then the principal stomped off and slam the door behind him. Keith laughed and said "well I guess I'm going to wear this t-shirt for the rest of the day" I laughed smart smile staring into his eyes blue ocean eyes that you could just doze off into all day. He got up and said " well I guess I'm gonna go back to lunch". "Me too" i said really fast. We walk back to the cafeteria and went our separate ways. My friends kept asking and asking and asking what happened but all I did is stare at my notebook. The rest of the day we didn't talk not at all not even a glance at each other! I think that my 5 minutes with him was my only time I will ever get with him. I should of said something funny! I should have talked more! I should have been more friendly! Great I fucked up again. I just wish we were friends...well more then friends. But at least something anything more then strangers. But nope god damn it.
