My Perfect Year

January 3rd, 2014- Friday

"I'm yelling timber, you better move, you better dance". I hear my alarm going off. "Fish sticks", I say. Even though I was thinking something totally different. "I hate school", I yell at the top of my lungs. I get up and go to my closet then to the bathroom to change.

************************************

As I get into the limo I felt like a zombie. Zombies made me think of the BLR (Bad Lip Reading) of the Walking Dead and I chuckled.

***********************************

Almost an hour goes by and my stomach is growling. We pull up to the McDonalds and I order a sausage biscuit, my brother orders a bacon, egg, and cheese one. I gulped mine down in 2 seconds.

************************************

We arrive at school and I walk into the lobby and sit on my usual spot on the floor facing Basilia and Emmy. Basilia was talking to Emmy about some conversation she had with Mark the other night. Macy, Adabelle, and Afina look at me. "Good morning guys", I say getting a little creeped out by them staring at me. "Did you not check your text from Chloe last night?", Macy asks in disbelief. "Um, no why?", I ask totally confused. "Chloe and Bentley broke up", Macy says. "Oh my god, why?", I asked. "If you would have read the text you would know", Macy said sounding a little agitated. "Just tell me", I say impatiently. "Chloe felt like the relationship was a little one sided and Bentley just thought they needed a break since high school is coming up in less than a year", Macy says. Adabelle and Afina sat and nodded in agreement. "Go to lockers 8th grade", Mrs. Blackstein said. "See y'all later", I say and rush to my locker.

***********************************

I walk into the guidance office to meet James so I can show him around the school. James is sitting on the couch with a note in his hand, he stands when he sees me. "The guidance counselor told me to give these to you. Their notes to let your teachers know why you weren't in class", James says leaning over me. "I'll show you where all the electives are first", I say looking into his ocean blue eyes.

************************************

We're on our way to the last elective, the gym otherwise known as the misery room. He looks down at me while I talk about the electives and other classes. We stop and I turn around to face him. He grabs my head and kisses my cheek. I look at him, I'm in complete and utter shock. "Sorry I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm such an idiot. I mean you have a boyfriend and everything. I am so sorry", James says looking as I'd he's going to cry. "It's ok", I whisper as I pull his head down and kiss him on the cheek. I begin to panic. Why did I just do that? What is wrong with me? You have a boyfriend Missy! Thats what I kept asking and telling myself.

His lips look so good I begin to think, I snap back to reality when he starts talking to me. "What are you doing after school today? Cuz I have an appointment with your mom at 5:00pm so y'all are taking me home", James says. "Nothing, not a thing", I say smiling.

************************************

After I'm finished showing him around its lunch time. I walk in and head straight to our usual table, I let James sit next to me in the booth.

When his class leaves Hazel says "How do you fucking no him?!". "He's my friend", I say laughing. "He's hot", Hazel says. "You can have him, Codman is mind", Afina says dreamy eyed. "Than all y'all need to know I CALL DIBS. When me and Bernard break up obviously", Hazel says. I laugh. "What's so funny Missy?", Chloe says. "Oh, just I know who he like but I can't and won't tell", I say giggling.

************************************

We arrive in the Math trailer and head to our groups. "Math hates me", I say sulking. "We all hate Math so I guess were even", Basilia says. We continue our group work but I can't stop worrying about Cullen finding out what happened between me and James.

************************************

After Math I head to Language Arts but I worry all through class.

************************************

Finally Science the last class of the day. Instead of trying to run into Cullen in between classes I purposely avoid him.

***********************************

"Lockers", Mr. Paul says. I jump out of my chair and basically run to my locker and back to class trying to avoid Cullen and James."Hey babe", Cullen says. I stop, trying not to act suspicious I say "Hey, I better get back to class to pack up my things and stuff". "Ok, but I heard James is going home with you", Cullen says but he doesn't sound annoyed. "Oh yeah, he has an appointment with my mom so it's just easier", I say. I mean it's like it was a lie or anything. "Ok. I'll talk to you after practice", he says and winks at me. We walk away and I go back to the classroom and am not as worried.

************************************

When we get to the weekday house I go upstairs because its all mind here to. James follows. "So what are we going to do", Janes says with a seductive look and a smile. I take a deep breath. "Look your a sweet guy James, but just to keep in mind I have a boyfriend. This afternoon at school never should have happened", I say. "I know I know, I'm sorry. It was just a perfect opportunity", he says. "For what?", I ask. "Well I was thinking about and planning to, to kiss you", he says, the last part in a whisper. I couldn't believe what I heard, I walked over to my bed sat down and started to cry. James just comes over sits next to me, hugged me close to him and tried to calm me down.

************************************

When it was time for Janes appointment he kissed me in the cheek and went downstairs. He left all his stuff in my room. I kept thinking, wait hold the phone, he left all his stuff in my room! I junk up and go to his stuff. "Maybe I can figure out what's wrong with him", I say to myself. I search through all his things but find nothing.

************************************

When he leaves, actually leaves my house I go into my moms office. "Hey mom", I say sweetly. "Hey sweetie", she says. "Quick question, you got a minute?", I ask. "Yeah sure sweet pea. What's up?", she asks looking up from her papers to look at me. "What's wrong with James", I ask with utter concern in my voice. "Now sweet heart you know I can't tell you that. It's against the rules", she says. "I know.....but the reason why I ask is because he trusts me. Which made me think I might be able to help him", I say. My mom stops and thinks. "Well.........", she says. "Please mom. I promise I won't tell a soul", I say grabbing a bible and put my hand on it. "Ok, fine. Come over here", she says and gestures for me to get closer. She whispers in my ear. "OH MY GOD", I say shocked. "Shhhhh, you can't tell a soul Missy! You understand me?", she says seriously. All I can do is stand there with my eyes wide and mouth hanging open like an idiot. And tears in my eyes.

************************************

When I'm done crying about James secret and I finish my homework and stuff, I take my shower. I start drifting off to sleep when I remember Cullen. "I've had a long day I'm going to bed early. Good night", I text him. Then I drift off to sleep.
