The next day came and that morning when he picked me up it was like nothing happened last night.
I brung up the topic but he just talked it off like it was nothing. wow he was a confident little cookie.
We got out the car and I waited for him to come around. something grabbed me from the hand and spun me. It was Jake. He leaned in close and closed his eyes. I backed away and pushed him away. Not like I didn't want him, I was just confused. Were we a thing? Is there even a thing? what happened? I froze and embarrassment flushed his face.
"I-im so so sorry. I thought we were together from last night and-"
He stopped talking and hit his head a couple times repeatedly saying stupid.
I wasn't sure about my next move but it was worth a try. I grabbed his chin and faced him toward me. I quickly leaned in and our lips began to touch.
I felt like we were the only ones in the world. I liked this. It should happen more often. we pulled away and he smiled. he grabbed my hand and we walked into school. I made my way to my locker then quickly to first period which I had miss 1 or 2 minutes of.
I walked in and everyone stared.
They must have knew what happened because unlike the other times I been late, whispers were going around the room
"She's the one-"
"She kissed Jake cross"
"That's jakes girl"
"She's way to pretty for him."
"The nerd?"
A bunch of rude and embarrassing voices mocked me.
"Ms.Joyce why are you late?"
Uh what should I say. a light went off in my head. I'm a cool kid. Use the excuse the girls did.
"Sorry I had things to do."
Everyone laughed and I felt powerful.
I liked it.
The rest of my classes I was late and used my wise ass excuses.
"Sorry tech I had places to be."
"Sorry I was busy doing something else."
"I just didn't want to come."
It's like I grew more powerful off this. I felt I could do anything and I grew so much in that one day.
Later at lunch I was scared to tell everyone I was with Jake but that confidence just pushed it out. everyone was starring at me. Did I just tell them?
Then Candace finally spoke.
"That's great."
"It is?"
"If your happy I'm happy."
We smiled and we laughed and talked.
Later that day I began walking home because Jake had went home early to remove his braces.
I heard my name yelled and looked back to see Candace.
"Hey Candace."
"Hey um I was wondering wanna come to my sleepover tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"I'll text you my address."
"Kay bye."
I was happy I finally had weekend plans and it will make up for my time this week where I'll be sitting home bored for Christmas break.
I finally made it home and unlocked the door when I opened it, there sat suitcases and my family well... my brother, sister and mom.
