It all started in May

Chapter 2

As i enter the school's main lobby, i see Patrick. He is standing next to his best friend, Daniel. Next to both of them are four bags of luggage so im guessing they both own two each. They are here pretty early if they are both going on the trip to NYC, i heard they arent supposed to meet here until 9 and its 8:08. As i walk the other way hoping they dont see me, i hear my name being called.

"Hailey!"

I roll my eyes and fake a smile as i turn around and walk towards him.

"Hey, Patrick."

I have to admit, Patrick is pretty cute. I mean, hes not the hottest guy around, But his light blue eyes and brown hair make him irrestible and have me coming back for more. Patrick is a Goody two-shoes. Always has his homework in on time, pays attention in class, never gets in trouble- total opposite of me.

"I-uh, never saw you there." I lie.

"Oh, well i dont want you to be late for homeroom and im leaving now for a week.. so can i have a goodbye kiss?"

As cheesy as he is, his words change my mood instantly and i now feel like crying because hes going to be gone for a week. I let out a breath i didnt realize i was holding.

"Of course you can, come here."

He steps towards me and in one swift move i already have my hands in his hair and my lips are on his.

God, i love him. But at the same time he sort of creeps me out a bit.

The kiss is long and sweet, thats what i love about Patrick. He is so gentle and caring, He cares so much for me and I just sit back and let it be. I barely put effort into this.. what is this again? Are we even in a relationship? I pull away from the kiss and look into his perfect shade of blue eyes.

"I'm going to miss you so much beautiful."

My heart flutters.

"I'm going to miss you too Pat, now im going to be late. Bye!"

I say and give him a quick kiss before running down the hall to homeroom. As im halfway down the hall i hear my name being called again, by Patrick.

"Wait! Hailey!"

"What do you want Patrick? Im going to be late!" I yell halfway down the hallway.

"Oh come on, like you really care."

Its true, I dont. I just dont really want to talk right now.

" I just wanted to say, you look beautiful today."

"Thank you." I smile and instantly im in a better mood.

As i walk down the hall and up two flights of stairs, I finally make it to my locker. I put in my combination and it opens. I check my schedule and it reads that my first two periods are Physics and French. Great. As i gather my things and head to homeroom I think about how much im going to miss Patrick.
