I walked into my first period class and sat in a desk towards the side but not in the front. I feel uncomfortable being that close to the teacher but I also don't like to sit in the back because I can't hear and I like to do good in school. I pulled out my phone and texted Matt.
Me: Good morning baby! I don't have work tonight so I'm all yours.😊

Matt: Good morning!! Okay well, we are going skating and Justin is going to ask Starla to join us. 🙃

Me: Okay! I'll see you next period. Teacher is coming in. 😑
I put my phone in my bag as the teacher walked in with someone following behind him. Ethan? He's going to my school. I sighed and put my hand on my forehead.
"Alright, class, this is Ethan Dolan. He's our new student. I trust you'll treat him kind." Mr. Gilbert said. Ethan flashed a cute smile. Cute? Why'd I think that? I kept my head down so maybe he wouldn't see me and sit next to me but it was no use, he sat beside me anyways. I looked at him and he immediately recognized me. I was expecting him to say something but he didn't. Instead he turned away quickly and started breathing fast. Do I make him nervous or something?

There were only 5 minutes left of class and we had time to socialize. I got my phone and started scrolling through my twitter feed. I looked over at Ethan and he was wearing a simple black shirt, with jeans, and black converse but he looked so attractive.

What am I saying? I have a boyfriend. I returned my attention to my phone.

"It's just like I can't keep him out of my head. When I look at him, he like, consumes my brain. It's like I'm in a trance or something. I don't understand." I wrote this in my journal while sitting alone at a bench outside of my school during break. I heard the bell ring and I went inside. I turned the corner and bumped into.... Ethan. Of course. Why not? I dropped my books including my journal. Shit. I didn't put it back in my bag. I went to pick them up but made the mistake of looking him in the eyes and I couldn't stop looking.
"Damn. I'm sorry, I'll pick these up." He said hurrying to grab them.
"It's okay, I'll get it!" I yelled reaching for my journal but he had already grabbed it. It was open, he glanced at it and closed it fast when he saw what it was.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" He said handing me my journal and I smiled looking down.
"It's okay. It's stupid I know." I said putting it in my bag.
"No. Not at all. I just know that I wouldn't want anyone reading mine." He said smiling. I smiled back.
"You have a journal too?" I asked.
"Yeah. It's good for me to get out my aggression." He laughed.
"You gotta lot of aggression?" I asked laughing with him.
"Well, the average amount I think." He said looking me in the eyes. We looked at each other for what seemed like forever.
"Okay," I sighed, "I should probably get to class" I said running my hands through my hair.
"Oh yeah, forgot. We're at school." He rolled his eyes.
"Unfortunately." I said trying to walk around him but he went the same way.
"Sorry." I said stepping to the other side and he did the same.
We both laughed and he stepped aside holding his hands out indicating for me to go ahead. I walked in front of him and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear looking up at him and smiling embarrassed.

I opened my front door and walked to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water.
"Mom?" I called out. Nothing. I guess she got called into work. Again. She's a surgeon so she's never home and almost always has really important surgeries to preform. I sat down at the bar and pulled out my English assignment. The teacher had assigned us to read Romeo and Juliet. I began reading when my phone vibrated.
Matt: Starla said yes to Justin. I'll be at your place at 5:00!❤️😚

Me: Okay! See you then! 😊❤️
Wait?! Five? That's in 2 hours! Damnit. I sprinted upstairs and turned on the shower. I hopped in there shaved my legs, arms, and my area. You know what I mean. I got out and put my robe on. I walked to my closet and started searching for something to wear.
"Ugh! I don't have shit to wear!" I yelled to my closet filled with clothes. Eventually I decided on my outfit and then did my makeup.
