Love will never forget

Chapter Three: I Tried

The bell rang for lunch and I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran out the door quickly as my teen girl legs could carry me. I walked over to my locker and opened it. I stuffed my bag into my locker. Before I could shut it one of the jocks slammed it, almost hitting my fingers.

"Oh, I'm so sorry I accidentally bumped it!" He said, looking apologetic. I looked at him funny. One of the jocks being nice, eh? Odd...

"Uhm, it's fine. I was finished putting my stuff into it anyways." I smiled gently at him and went on my way to the cafeteria.

I grabbed a tray and went through the line like everybody else, the lunch ladies plopping gloop that looked like meatballs over potatoes and corn. I grabbed a soda from the vending machine and sat down. Alone like always.I started to play with my mashed potato's and meatball gravy and shoved some into my mouth.

"Hey, um, Emily," I heard a voice behind me say. "Can I sit by you?"It asked. My eyes got wide. I blushed for no apparent reason and turned around, mouth full. I dropped my fork, cheeks full of food. I blushed, embarrassed.

"Sure." I said awkwardly looking at him. Lee sat next to me. I looked over at him. "Are you really sitting by...me?!"I said in shock. Nobody sits by me. Nobody.

"Yeah, since your the first girl I met. "He said with a cute smile and a blush. He just looked at me. I swallowed then he finally spoke. "Hey,I have nothing to do after school and your the only person I know so I'm wondering if you want to come over to my place and play Black Ops."

He actually wants me to hang out with him. I smiled but remembered nobody wants me to come over. Unless it's a prank. I frowned and remembered.

I was twelve when Javier and Lucinda invited me to a sleepover with their friends. I knew it was too good to be true but I accepted it anyways. They did it just for a huge laugh.

They gave me this address, the wrong address. But I didn't know so I wondered over, in my pajamas, my footy pajamas with the sleeping Polar Bears on them. I rang the door bell and my crush at the time answered it and began laughing so hard. I ran home crying that night.

I had never been so embarrassed. I ditched school for an entire week, pretending to my Dad that I was sicker then ever. After that I became the most laughed at most bullied person in school. Even the teachers laughed and bullied me. I was going to commit suicide but then that would make them happy.

"Uh....sure?" I said, speechless that's all the words I could get out of my mouth. Sitting by....me?! Prank, just a prank. Maybe it isn't. Shut up brain!

"Cool! My parents will pick us up after school." He said with a grin on his cute baby face. He started to eat his lunch. I smiled awkwardly and did the same.

He drank his Pepsi and burped. I laughed so hard and the people stared at me but I didn't care, I was with somebody who made everything bad vanish to dust. He did that weird cute laugh again. I drank my Coke vastly and did a burp. He blushed and burst out laughing. He had to hold onto the table or else he'd fall off. I guess he has never seen a girl burp before. We stopped laughing and stared into each others eyes. I blinked, blushed, and began eating again. He awkwardly did the same.

We both finished at the same time. We dumped our trays and went to wander the halls. There was nothing to do after lunch. Boring. Either go outside in the field or just wander the halls I guess like mostly everybody did.

I looked down. He looked down too and stuffed his hands into his jeans pockets. I put my left hand onto my right arm and started rubbing it. He looked at me, me not noticing of course.

"Are you sure your mom's cool with it?" He asked, looking at me. I stopped and remembered I looked at him then looked down."What's wrong?" He asked with concern and he stopped along with me.

"I don't.... have a mom...."I said not looking at him. I felt tears rush up and quickly blinked them away. He put his hand on my left shoulder.

"Sorry.... I didn't know." He said as he blushed and looked concerned. Then the bell rang. He sighed and looked down in guilt of what had come out of his mouth.

"It's okay." I said then started to walk away to class. He quickly caught up with me. He grabbed my arm and I froze. I looked at him strangely. He smiled and did a slight laugh.

"Where yah going? Don't forget about me." He said giving me a friendly look. I guess the look on my face made him wanna smile. Wish I had a mirror."Hey, I'll walk you to class." I looked at him and smiled."What class is it?"

"Mrs. Hornburger. Language arts." I said, looking at him. I rolled my eyes. I hated that teacher as I did most of them, well, I didn't hate her, I just didn't think of her as much fun as another teacher.

"Damn, I have P.E." He said but smiled anyways.

We walked off together to Language Arts. He turned around and faced me, a bit close and started backwards. He then fell on his butt and I burst out laughing. He looked oddly embarrassed. Then he burst out laughing like a complete weirdo. I helped him up and he pulled his pants up slightly. He slid his fingers through his hair down to the back of his neck. He embarrassingly rubbed it, blushing slightly.

"That hurt. My butt now hurts!" He exclaimed and I laughed. "What?! It's true!" He said chuckling. "We'd better get to class!" He nearly yelled and turned began quietly to the gym. I sighed and got in before the bell rang. I heaved a sigh of relief. I wasn't late!

I sat down in my assigned seat with a heave.

"Now class, let's get on with the lesson!" She began with a smile. She began to write on the white board. "Please get out your textbooks." She said not taking her eyes off of the board.

I did so and brought out my pencil too. I was writing my name as it broke. Of course. I got up and my chair screeched and I cringed. I began slowly to the pencil sharpener and began sharpening it quickly. I ran to my seat, wrote my name, and sat down.
