**Caroline's POV**
"His name is Braxton Miller. We have first and second period together. And he just moved here!" I try to catch my breath so I can continue to tell Shawn about my new friend. "He is so attractive! Shawn, I'm telling you, he is so funny and shy. He is like the perfect 'boy next door'."
Shawn just rolls his eyes and gives me a blank look. He normally gets like this whenever I bring up another guy. He can't get jealous because we are just friends, more like brother and sister actually.
A little while later when class is over I head to my locker again. My schedule says that I have Honors Algebra for fourth. I glance around for any sight of Braxton. Bingo.
He smiles when he sees me and starts towards me. "Hey". I can't help but blush a little as he says this.
"How did third go? Any better than Finchum's?" I let out a laugh when I said this. It was pretty funny.
"Ha ha very funny. And surprisingly yeah it did", he said. We stood there for a few moments until he broke the silence. "Sorry to bother you again for like the millionth time today, but where is Mrs.Allison's class?"
This is too weird because that is where I have to go now. I nervously laugh and look at him. "Actually, I am going there too, so we can just walk together, yeah?" He agrees as we start walking to the Algebra class.
The rest of the day is pretty good. I'm sorta bummed out that fourth period has like five minutes left. Me and Braxton have had such a good time today.
Unfortunately, the bell rings already. I should be happy because I get to go home, but I like being around Braxton. I gather my things and head out of the room. He catches up to me right when I reach my locker.
"Thanks for helping me today Caroline. You're a life saver!" I feel my cheeks start to flush. Before I can answer he speaks up again. "I know it sounds weird, but can umm--can I have your number? I might need your help with homework or directions or something?" I could tell he was nervous.
I smiled up at him and said, "You're welcome. And yeah, sure. I might need you to help me with my homework or something too." As we exchange numbers and say our goodbyes I find my self with sweaty palms again. It's so embarrassing! I hate it.
I get home and head straight for the shower. After that I head down stairs to eat dinner. As I am washing my dishes I check my phone when I hear it buzz.
Braxton: Hey Vines :)
Me: Hey Miller :)
Braxton: I need your help on Finchum's hw assignment
Me: ha saw that coming!
Braxton: you're funny
Me: Aww, thanks!! But you're in luck cause I need your help too ;)
Braxton: welcome ;) Wanna start from the beginning?
Me: Yeah, that'd work.
I didn't even know what time it was until I looked at the alarm clock on my night stand. We had been texting for hours. We had finished our assignment and now we were just talking about 'our stories'. It is already 1:30 in the morning and we have school tomorrow!! The funny thing is I'm not even tired.
Me: oml it's 1:30 rn! We have school tomorrow Braxton!
Braxton: ha ha! I didn't even notice.
Me: Me either lol
Braxton: I guess I'll let you go so you can get your beauty sleep :)
Me: You don't have to... is that your way of calling me pretty? Ha ha!
Braxton: I guess so ;)
Me: thx! :)
Braxton: anytime!
When I read that I feel my eyes start to slowly shut, so I decide to say goodnight to Braxton.
Me: G'night Miller
Braxton: G'night Vines
I shut of my bedside lamp and pull the duvet over my body. I lay there in silence playing the memories of today over in my head again and again. Today was the best first day of school I've ever experienced.
