His Citified Cowgirl

Chapter 8: Will Friday Ever Come?

7:00 am

"Paige! Get up." Mom yells while knocking on my door.

"I'm up." I say through a yawn.

I walk to the bathroom slowly and plug in my phone to the speaker and pursue my usual routine.

"I need your lovin', just keep them kisses comin'." I sing walking out of the bathroom hair and makeup done but still wrapped in a towel.

"Alright..... jeans, old band tee and my white converse." I throw on my clothes.

Ring.

7:30 am "Pill"

"Ughhh this damn pill." I say running to the alarm and shutting it off. "Birth control is a pain in the ass."

I take my phone and plop onto my bed. "Okay so..." I start, "Tuesday."

"Paige!" Mom yells from the foot of the stairs.

"Yeah?!" I yell back.

"Breakfast is on the table. I'm heading out." She replies.

"Okay! Love you." I yell.

"Love you too. Don't take all day it's already 7:45." She says before I hear her heels clicking out the door.

I look at my phone and look at the time.

7:45 am

"Damn okay then." I grab my backpack and jog down the stairs to the kitchen table.

"Oh nice." I sit and look at the egg, ham and cheese sandwich before me.

I eat my breakfast and put the dish in the sink and leave for school.

8:15 am

I pull into the schools parking lot and walk into the school.

"I hope I don't see Max." I say to myself.

Yesterday was fun. I just don't want to get too involved at school because I need to focus but outside of school is a whole different story.

As I turn to walk into first period I look to my right and have a glimpse of him. I walked into the frame of the door.

"Shit!" I whisper-yell.

"Language!" The teacher shouts.

"Sorry." I apologize.

I hope he didn't see that, it was embarrassing and I know the whole class saw me run into the door but hopefully not the reason for it.

First period seems to drag on forever.

Ring.

The class gets up and starts to leave as I follow. I walk across the hall to my next class. Like I said before we have block classes here and yesterday was classes 1-4 and today is 5-8.

I sit near the back corner of the classroom.

"Hey!" A girl with long brown hair approaches me with a large smile on her face.

"Um, hi?" I reply, less excited.

"My names Adrian." She looks into my eyes.

"Hi Adrian, I'm Paige." I reply staring back. She's beautiful.

"Well Paige do you mind if I sit with you? We're picking new partners for a project." she asks.

"No of course, have a seat." I move over.
