Aimee

'You're just not my type.... And honestly I just don't want a relationship.' His words rang through my head, seeping in through one ear and falling out the other. Him & I had been getting intimate these past few months and now he's saying these things? I slowly nodded and ran away, down the hall, and out the school doors. I couldn't breathe and I just needed to get away. Fast.

I held onto my textbooks and stood, grabbing my bag and heading out the door. I felt eyes on me and kept my head down. About now I was the poor girl that got dumped and humiliated at the schools pep rally. I honestly didn't care, but when I got those irritating sympathetic looks I couldn't help but feel unease. Keep cool Aimee. Just a couple more hours before schools over.. Who was I kidding? I took a deep breath, and before I could turn a corner I was plummeting to the ground. My binder and textbooks scattering across the floor. I heard laughter and looked up to see my classmates laughing. I stood up, and began to grab my things in a hurry. Maybe this person was probably going to try and laugh at me too, say a stupid like 'Watch out bitch!' when it was their fault. "Shit I'm sorry.." I heard someone say, sheepishly I looked up and was face to face with shimmering glossy green eyes. Even though they were green, from their core blue specks shown illuminating all my thoughts. "I-it's alright. I'm sorry.." I mumbled and stood up straight. He held my chemistry book in his hands and before I could ask for it, he grabbed some of my other textbooks smiling at me. "So where you headed?" His voice was gentle, but a bit loud and nerve wrecking when he was incredibly gorgeous. He had dark black hair, and wore a v-neck that was loose yet showed his muscles and coped with his body swell. His jeans were black as well, as his shoes were converse. From his neck hung a chain, and he stood to be about 6 ft or so. "It's okay y-you-" He cut me off with a slight shaking of his head. "Don't worry bout it. Just lead the way."

I nodded and turned the corner, heading towards the front door of the school building. All I wanted was to get away from here so skipping school felt like the best thing. I mean who would stay and decide to get picked on? I grabbed the keys to my BMW and unlocked it, placing my stuff in the back seat. I felt him behind me, and turned around, his dimpled smile still plastered on his face. "Thank you.." I mumbled and tore my eyes from his gaze, I grabbed the rest of the textbooks in his hands and set it in before closing the door. "I'm Keith by the way..." I froze and furrowed my eyebrows. Keith? Keith Ryers was the schools hottest guy. He was also known for his reputation of sleeping around. Why was he helping me? I snapped out of my daze and looked back at him. "I'm Aimee.." I then moved to drivers door and opened it. I hopped in and closed the door. I didn't want to spend a longer time with him even if he wasn't exactly intolerable because I didn't want to like him. All I was to him was another girl, one whom he crashed into and decided to help.

I turned my engine on and then looked to my right to see the passengers seat being ripped open. I jumped back a little as his lean figure came into sight. "What're you doing?" I spoke up once his gaze was meeting mine. "Well, I'm going to skip school with my new friend. Wanna get some food? My treat." His smile was replaced with a smirk as he put his seat belt on. A couple minutes passed before I decided I might as well give in. He wasn't exactly the reasonable type since he sat there stubbornly and began to mess with my radio. "Fine, but I get to choose the place." I mumbled once again, before pulling out of the schools parking lot.

"I don't mind Aimee, just make it worth while."
