I woke up and smiled. Today was the game day. It was our school against Conrad High, our rivals.
I got up at 6 o'clock and ran into the bathroom. I turned my iPod on and played the first song that popped up.
"White lips, pale face. Burt lungs, sour taste. Light's gone, days end. Struggling to pay rent. Long nights, strange men. And they say
She's in the Class A Team. Stuck in her daydream. Been this way since eighteen. But lately her face seems. Slowly sinking, wasting. Crumbling like pastries. And they scream. The worst things in life come free to us."
I sang along to the song and threw myself into the shower. Another song came up.
"When your legs don't work like they used to before. And I can't sweep you off of your feet.
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love? Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks? And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70. And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23. And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways. Maybe just the touch of a hand. Oh, me. I fall in love with you every single day. And I just wanna tell you I am. So honey now. Take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your head on my beating heart.
I'm thinking out loud. Maybe we found love right where we are"
The song finished and I got dressed. I threw on high waisted shorts, a tank top, and Cole's jersey.
I put my hair into a high ponytail and put on some winged eyeliner.
L- "You up yet?"
C- "I've been up since five."
L- "Wow, you actually woke up earlier than me for once. Can I come over?"
C- "Five minutes?"
L- "Five minutes."
I put on black knee-high socks and my white converse.
"Dad! I'm spending the day with Cole, I'll be back around midnight. Love you!"
"Okay sweetie, love you." He yelled.
I smiled and walked over to Cole's place. I opened the door and ran up the stairs.
I opened Cole's door and walked in. Cole was standing in the middle of his room with no shirt on. I stood there admiring him for a moment before I knocked some sense into my brain.
"Hola." I said. Cole turned around and smiled.
"Hey." He said as he walked over to his dresser.
Dang it, I like you shirtless.
"So you don't want me to put a shirt on?" He chuckled as he turned back around.
"Shit...did I say that out loud?" I shrieked.
He chuckled again as he grabbed a shirt out of his drawer.
"You look nice today." Cole said.
"Thank you, you inspired the look with your jersey." I giggled.
I walked up behind him and hugged him. I felt him tense as my arms snaked around his chest.
"I like the affect I have on you, Cole." I smirked.
He twisted easily around in my grip and tilted up my chin. I shuddered at his touch. It was so small yet it was spreading rapidly like a wildfire.
"And I like the affect I have on you." He smirked back at me.
He gently pressed his lips against mine and it set off fireworks. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.
I pulled away and rested my forehead on his.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked as he pressed a light kiss to the tip of my nose.
I giggled and nodded my head. I feathered another kiss on his cheek. He flushed a light red and I smiled to myself.
