My Lauren Carter Obsession

Chapter 4- 'Wait, so you do like me?'

It's Friday, finally, classes were really slow this week and it's lunch now, I'm hanging out with Alex, and his friends. I have to say that once you get to know them, they aren't so bad to be around. I almost forgot that I had plans to hang out with Ashton today so I guess this is going to be exciting. Alex still keeps being really 'hands on' with me and I don't know, I just don't do anything about it, maybe my liking over him isn't doing me much to stop it...

"Damion why is it that you have to take my milk, I was still going to drink it," Izzy says, as she reaches over for it, but instead of doing that she splashes it all over him.

'What the hell Izzy why would you do that,' He says, as he storms off with his things. '

'Oh my lord why would you do something like that, you could of just took you brat.' Sam said. "Why are you getting mad at me, It was just a joke, he needs to grow up and stop taking things up for no reason off my tray,' Izzy says. 'Yeah but if you and your tiny little brain worked together then you wouldn't have him storming off on you bubble brain,' Sam says, as she takes a huge wad of applesauce and flings it at Izzy's face while she walks off herself. To be fair I would of done the same thing, if it were somewhere else.

'OMGG! That little bitch throws that disgusting stuff at me, eww eww ewww!' Izzy says, as she marches off leaving me and Alex at the table alone. I didn't even know where Kyle was. 'Kyle went to the principal's office, got into trouble busting into a teacher's classroom in the vent,' Alex says. Wow, he can read my mind so well, I was just going to ask that, woah woah what if he is..ok anyways enough imagination.
'Lauren can I ask you a question?' Alex says, while he takes my hand in his staring into my eyes. I didn't know what to do since I was so lost that I just wanted to hear the question and run away. Now I see that he likes me and I don't know if I do. 'Yeah sure,' I say, watching his gaze on me.

'Do you have a boyfriend?' He says.

'No, I don't have one, why do even ask anyways?' I say, looking away and then looking at my food and start eating my apple. 'I don't know, just wanted to ask.' He says. I know I would of never asked straight away but I had to, I just needed to say it.

'Alex wait- do you like me,' I say, really- blurted out, which made me him look at me really startled. 'What no, wh-why would you think that?!' He says, and looks away eating his food. 'Wait, so you do like me?' I say. I see the way he's acting and it's getting him no where. I get up to throw my food out and go to my next class and he does the same. He gives me a shy smile before going off to class 'Hey Laur, just to say, I may not like you but you may think of what I'm saying as a lie.' He says, as he walks off looking for everyone else. I smile to myself walking off in the opposite direction.

As I head in to English it's very quiet. When I walk in the first thing I see is a whole bunch of students reading in groups so I sit in one of them. 'Hey Lauren, your from my math class aren't you?' Mary says, as she sets a seat for me while I get a book from the shelf. 'It's pages 100-114,' another girl with multi-colored hair and glasses tells me. 'Sorry, my name's Cassidy,' she says as she continues reading. Wow what a nice intro for someone who just got to the school damn.

As I'm reading into my book I can't stop thinking about what happened in lunch. Alex wraps my mind up like bandages trying to come off ur skin after wrapping too many. It's weird how one person can overcome your mind like that with just a few things to say or do at the least.

After class ended, the rest of them went by like a breeze. They didn't seem as boring, except Social Studies. As I'm walking home I get a text from Ashton:

Hey Lauren it's me, I'll pick you up at 5 and we'll head out later on, see you soon.

                                                                                      --Ashton 

    I didn't even know that he would text me. I check the time to see that it's 4:45 and that I'm sure to be late. I run home knowing that If I do be late that, maybe he would be able to except the fact that I'm a late child...

I start getting ready by putting on some faded jeans and a Forever21 T-Shirt with my converse, since I thought that it should be so fancy. 'Honey your friend Ashton wants to see you at the door,' mom says. Ugh why did she have to meet him. As I walk down the stairs his face looks so bored of my mom until he sees me walking down and a smile appears on his face, and so does mine too.

'Bye honey, have fun but not too much fun,' my mom yells out as we speed-walk away from the house so far that we can't be able to hear her and start laughing. 'Your mom must be really over protective,' he says.

'Yeah she's like that,' I say. 'So tell me, how's she like.' He says, as he puts a stick of gum in his mouth. 'I mean she's not that bad, shes just a over the top person,' I say, while I put one in my mouth also. '

So where in the world are we going exactly?' I say, trying not to sound so enthusiastic about the whole idea of going out with him. 'It's somewhere don't get head over heals, here just close ur eyes,' he says, wrapping his one arm around me and the other on to close my eyes with. I close my eyes as we walk for what seemed like hours. 'Ugh cmon are we there yet?' I say, bored. 'Yeah were here, open your eyes now,' he says, as he walks away standing next to me. I open my eyes to a nice valley and a picnic set with it. 'Ashton this is really cute, thanks.' I say, as we walk over to go and eat. I have to say I really like him, Ashton I mean. He's just so nice and I wouldn't think of any other way to end the day off.

As we eat we laugh, and play around, getting to know each other by the minute. We head over as he walks me home. 'Lauren is it ok if I can kiss you, I know it seems like a rush but I really like you and you seem like a really nice girl.' He says, taking my hand in his and stroking my cheek. 'Yeah, you can, and I really like you too.' I say, leaning in to kiss him while he kisses me back. What I didn't know was that I could like someone so well like Ashton. 'Well it was nice today, thanks for making my evening,' he says as he smiles and walks off looking back and smiling more while I smile back and walk inside. I walk up the stairs not noticing that my mom was right there. I hug her and walk off to my room, knowing that I'll be sleeping well...
