Our Little Roller Coaster

Happiness?

**omg... I just found out that "Hey Claire? " didn't save all of my edits before I published it... It should be fixed by now.

Anywaysss..... I introduced Christian to the story... So... Yeah. oh..btw he is above and superrrrr cute.

This chapter should be fun.

Unless school ruins it.

Lolzzzzz............ ***

Sitting in the English teachers room while eating lunch was probably the highlight of my day. The teacher had sprinted out of the class, down the hall, down the stairs, and outside to his car... To pick up a phone call. He is special.. But what was even better was that I didn't even eat my salad  because I was to busy talking to Christian.

Christian chuckles lightly and asks "why did you make me eat in here?" I smirk at him and roll my eyes. "Dude.I Walked here. YOU are the one who followed me.". He just kinda laughs. His smile is adorkable. I shove my fork into the plastic salad bowl and i get a couple pieces  of lettuce with a ton of cheese. I simply stuff my face with the school's kinda good salad. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Christian staring at me with a smile. I pretend not to notice. When I look back at him, he chuckles. "What?" i ask. He shakes his head and i ask again, but this time more childishly. "whaaaaaaatt?" He continues to chuckle. I shrug and look at the window. He reaches over and wipes something off my face. I blush slightly at the touch of his warm, soft hands. I cock my head questionably and he states "you had a piece of lettuce on your face. I didnt want people to say anything if they walked in and saw you." he smiles sheepishly "Not that it would matter." i see his cheeks turn a light shade of pink and i smile, since I know my cheeks got darker too. I get up to throw away the half-eaten salad, and he whispers something. I ignore that too. 

After chatting for the lunch period the bell unfortunately  goes off. I like Christian. He is kind of awkward and shy, but so am I. We get up to leave and  when we get to the hallway he hands me a sticky-note. He smiles as I put it in my hoodie pocket. "See yah later," he says as he almost walks into a locker. I giggle and wave awkwardly. Starting to walk to my 5th period class, gym, i take out the sticky-note and read it. Its his number. I cant help it, i just smile. I  greet my teacher at the gym doors and he asks me, "Well now. We're at school. Are you just happy to in my class, or?" as he laughs. I smirk and sarcastically reply "Oh yeah. Your class just enlightens my day." He laughs and pats my shoulder. "Well you better be ready. We're gonna be doing our mile run today." I sigh and walk into my personal hell.

I sit in the very back of my study hall, as my teacher takes attendance. He calls my name and I throw my hand up with a little peace sign. I pull out my phone and I put in Christians number. 

Me: Hey?

A few minutes later my phone vibrates across the desk with a text.

Unknown: Hey. Alex?

Me: The one and only. XD

Christian: Good. Wassup?

Me: Chillin in my study hall. Hopefully you don't mind this.

Christian: What?  You texting me?  I don't mind at all... My history is pretty chill. I'm actually supposed to be in study hall but...they didnt rearrange my schedule yet.

Me: Wow.... He is normally like that though.

Christian: lmao.

Me: Yeah. So... Wanna hang after school?

My phone goes quiet so I start to play a game. As soon as I start level 4, I get Christians text.

Christian: um. Sure.

Me:OK. Meet me at the front doors. I have a surprise for you.

Christian:will it kill me?

Me: fuck no. Just... See yah l8r.

My phone goes quiet again. I smile and go back to my game.

After the final bell, I left to sit under a tree near the front doors with my sketchbook out. I try to draw a simple male face, but i cant get the eyebrow right. starting to get frustrated, i erase a hole in the paper. My phone buzzes weirdly in my butt pocket. I pull it out and see Christians name pop up. 

Christian:  hey. Where are you?

I put my sketchbook back in my bag, along with my  pencil. I stand up and lean against the tree.

Me: Look under the tree

He looks around but smiles widely when he see me wave. He jogs up to me and i can see his cheeks a little pink. I smile and say "Follow me.". He smiles and I grab his hand, sort of dragging him along my side, to my car. 

He  carefully sets his things in the back seat, as I just throw it there. Not caring what went where. He gets in the passenger side and I debate on taking my hoodie off. I get in the drivers side and take it off. I turn to him and smile. "Do you like stories?" i ask him. He gives me a weird look and replies with "what the fuck do you mean?". I roll my eyes, "Just answer..." he hesitates, but eventually nods. I start the car and drive away from the annoying building i call school. 

We go down small dirt roads and over slight hills. Around a junkyard and through a bridge.All through the silence he asks about the scar on my stomach. I shrug the question away. I really dont want him to know. I like his smiles. So I change the subject like a little bitch. "Do you have an idea on where we're going?" . Christian gives me an innocent look and replies with "Nah. But with how determined you look, it should be good." I smile because i'm going to take that as a compliment. I turn on the radio and the song "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes just happens to be on. I look over at Christian but he is looking out of the window, bobbing his head to the beat. I smile. He reminds me of my first boyfriend. So kind and sweet. Makes me smile no matter what mood i was in. I shake my head. I fall too easy. And i shoved him away so fast. I frown at my thoughts. I like Christian, but, i would want to actually know him, unlike Matt. Me and Matt kind of..."hit it off" or something. I laugh mentally. BUT NOOOOOOOO. i had to ruin that and break up with him because i couldn't handle the fact people could find out about my step-dad. 

Christian gently grabs my arm, pushing the thoughts away immediately. "Are you okay? You are frowning..." I fake a smile and lie "I thought about the English test. I feel like i failed." . He looks at me, and i know  that he doesn't believe me. I let out a sigh. "We're here." i change the subject... again.  His eyes widen when he sees that we are at a graveyard. I get out and grab my hoodie, tying it around my waist. He walks around the car to me and smiles shyly. I cant help but smile back. It's just so weird. Why is he smiling so shyly. I'm definitely not a person to be shy around. And i know i'm not Aphrodite. But it makes me have butterfly's. So i let it "bother" me.

We walk side by side to a tree with a small patch of daisy's. He sits down, leaning on the tree, as i just stand and take in the scenery. After taking a couple of breaths I sit down next to him. "This is beautiful. I just love this surprise." He beams. I laugh and he asks "Why here?". I search around my head  for a lie. But i cant. "It...It soothes me when I need it. And i don't know why...but i wanted to show you this.I trust you. I guess." I shrug and he grabs my hand, rubbing the back with his thumb.  We don't say anything, he just continues to rub the back of my hand and i rest my head on his shoulder.
