Two Visions

Chapter 5

“Hi.” She looks up at me. She has taken her makeup off, and she’s now wearing a gray U of A hoodie and yoga pants. I would have given anything to..

“Early night for you too, huh?” She smiles revealing her white teeth behind the thick lips of hers. She looks at my cart. “I guess not.” Her smile turns into laughter. She pushes one of her curls back and looks at me. Golden shivers through my body.

“Yeah, they’re for the party.” I look back and shift uncomfortably. I asked her earlier today and she declined; yet she kissed me just two hours ago. I can’t seem to figure her out, and I have feeling that I like it.

“I kinda figured.” She gives me an apologetic smile and waits for an answer.

 “Yeah, people drink way too much! They’re probably all legless when I get back.” I chuckle. She looks confused.

“That British accent is going to kill me.” She laughs. Shit.

“Uh..yeah it means that they will be wasted when I get back.” I scratch the back of my neck nervously. The temperature of the store is cool, but I still feel hot as ever. She is still smiling when I look back at her. God, those lips are going to kill me. She nods understandingly and tells me she has some studying to do. We say our goodbyes and I return to the party thinking about her. My statement was true; people are wasted.

I wake up with a killer headache and a girl next to me. My phone is waking me up and I’m very close to decline whoever is calling me at.. 10 am according to my phone screen. SHIT. I’m late for class. I remember that I don’t really give a shit about school, but Liam seems to. 

“Hey, where are you?” he sounds mad over the phone telling me to get to bio. I try not to be too loud as I get out of bed and brush my teeth half asleep. Liam is telling me his parents are giving him a load of money for keeping at least a B average and without me there, he isn’t going to get them. Like I actually help him, that’s bull. I tell him I'll come just because he saved me from an awkward moment.Those science classes are my least favorites, I remind him. He keeps babbling on the speaker while I put on my black jeans and a red plaid shirt.

“Okay, I’ll be there in 10.” I interrupt him and hang up. I look back at the girl, she is still asleep while I put my boots on and hurry to class.

I’m the last one to get to class, including the professor. I see all of the faces turning their heads towards my interrupting arrival, but there’s only one face I notice.

“Nice of you to join us, Mr. Styles.” Mr. Green welcomes me to class. Isn’t that just too ironic? The biology professor’s name is Green. I laugh at my thoughts and his comment, getting into the seat Liam saved for me. The professor gives me an annoyed look. “Sorry.” I mumble.

“From now on, I’ll be locking the doors when class has started.” The minutes go by slowly, but I focus on what he’s saying and the assignments he’s giving us. After he said his last words of the day, I can’t help but talk to her. I feel like a little puppy for following her around all the time, and like an idiot for saying the wrong things and being embarrassed.

 “I had a nice time yesterday.” I try not to sound too weird, and she smiles.

“At the store?” She asks laughing. I’m embarrassed, but my thoughts can’t seem to follow up, and I take it she is making a joke.

“Yeah, that was a real party! Wearing sweats and all.” I chuckle. She blushes and I love it. She looks so innocent and sweet, and I can’t help myself but ask her out.

“Tonight?” I nod.

“Uhm.. sure.”

“”Uhm.. sure” isn’t a worthy answer. Hey I like you, but you gotta give more than that.” I try to be funny, and it seems to be working. She laughs that beautiful laugh of hers, making her eyes even more golden. 

“I would love to, I just have some homework to do first.” She says politely.

“Where should I pick you up?” I ask.

“At Bud Walton?” The stadium. Does she live near there? I find myself getting more and more eager to find out more about her, but her eyes make it hard to do so.
