Love at First Sight

Chapter 2

  The next day, Abbey comes over since it was a Saturday. We make cookies and a card for the new neighbors, since she wants to see what Drew  looks like. Turns out we just missed him. But on the bright side, I found out something new about him, he plays baseball. And I guess there’s good news for Abbey to, since she’s boy crazy, It turns out Drew is in her homeroom, but he’s mine!

  On the bus later that day, he starts talking to me, since I’m really his only friend. He asks me what my favorite song is, and my favorite color. He is a great boy and I love him for who he is.

   Then Drew comes outside and we started talking! He feels really bad later though because he has to leave for baseball practice when we are right in the middle of our conversation.

   Then at that moment Natasha walks outside and asked if I wanted to hang out with her. ‘’ Of course.’’ I said I’m not able to tell anyone no at the moment because I’m so in love.

  ‘’So do you want to go on a bike ride to the park?’’ asks Natasha.

  ‘’Sure.’’ I respond.

  ‘’Ok then, let’s go!’’ exclaims Natasha

  While Natasha and I are on our way to the park, I tell her about Drew Goods and how perfect he is.

  ‘’ I just think he’s perfect,"’ I say dreamily ‘’he has brown hair, hazel eyes, a beautiful smile, and he always talks to me!’’ I explain

  ‘’Sounds like the kind of guy you would like Casey.’’ Laughs Natasha

 ‘’Oh yeah and two more things,  he’s respectful and he always plays with my little cousin Penelope.’’ I continue ‘’ He’s perfect.

  While we’re at the park we talk about him some more. Natasha is so understanding, I admire her about that. Plus Natasha and I have never gotten in a fight before, ever!

When we got home from the bike ride, I have a great idea. Drew and his brother Cameron are swimming. Since Natasha lives right next to Drew, I mention to Natasha that we should spy on them, Natasha’s my best friend, so of course she agrees, plus what’s not fun about spying on boys?

 Splash, I hear, and see, Drew jump into the pool. It’s so hard not to laugh. Drew always makes these hilarious noises when he enters the pool.

 Once Drew and Cameron got out of the pool, there was nothing else to watch so Natasha and I went out front and climbed ‘’our’’ tree.

‘’You know what I don’t understand.’’ Says Natasha slowly ‘’ You always fall for the not so cute guys.’’

  ‘’Well so do you.’’ I joke ‘’ And I already told you I like him because of his personality.’’

‘’ Okay then.’’ Natasha says

 ‘’ Casey!’’ my mom yells ‘’ Time to go in.’’

  ‘’Okay!’’ I yell back.

   I run inside feeling like I am in love.

---------------------------------------------------------

‘’You know what I don’t get about you Casey?’’ asks Abbey the next day at school under the tree.

  ‘’What?’’ I ask.

  ‘’ Why do you always fall for the not so cute guys?’’

 ‘’ I get asked that a lot now, but if you must know the answer then I’ll tell you. It’s his personality, he’s respectful, nice, and he always plays with my cousin Penelope.’’ I reply back, even though in my mind, I think that Drew is pretty hot.

 ‘’Meow!’’ She snaps.

 ‘’Ha ha ha.” I joke back.

  ‘’Oh, that’s the bell!’’ Abbey exclaims ‘’You’d better get upstairs to Sra. Arbol’s class.

  ‘’ Uggh, kill me now!’’ I say miserably.

  ‘’Good luck.‘’ Abbey says.

  ‘’You too,’’ I reply back.

  ‘’Bye.’’

  ‘’Bye.’’

  I walk up the stairs alone, but I’m only alone for a little because Drew starts following me. We talk all the way up the stairs about how much class work we both have. He only has one block with me, that’s the depressing part. His schedule is Ms. Shaina, Mrs. Damsel , Mr. Eric, and then Mrs. Damsel again. My schedule is Sra. Arbol, Ms. Shaina, Sra. Arbol, again, and then Mrs. Damsel. I think Mrs. Damsel is the best teacher, but for probably the worst subject, math.

  It seems like such a short time Drew and I were talking, I wish it could’ve been longer!

  ‘’Hola hola.’’ That’s what I always hear when I enter Sra. Arbol’s class room.

  ‘’Hola Casey, Como estas?’’

  ‘’ Bien Gracias, y usted?’’ is how I always have to answer her.

  The rest of the class is always no fun, you walk into class and you say hi, then you sit down and learn about stupid Social studies, in Spanish.

 While Sra. Arbol said to get into a two person group, I obviously choose my other best friend Olivia to work with, I tell Olivia about Drew Goods, and how I have a crush on him, and why.

  Later that day in math class, my eyes are glued to Drew. I am disappointed when Mrs. Damsel said that she pulls sticks out of a cup to pick partners, it would been awkward picking Drew for a partner, but I would have done it. Instead he got paired up with a girl named Mira, she was popular the moment she came to my school. I keep looking over at Drew, I can’t help myself! I can’t think there would be a day that our relationship wouldn’t work out.

  On the bus later I have another conversation with Drew

  ‘’ And did you see her face,’’ I say. ‘’ it was hilarious!’’

  ‘’ Yeah I did,’’ Drew says laughing.

  He always laughs at the jokes I make, I think he loves me. He always comes outside just to talk to me, but I don’t know if that is because he only had his basketball court and his brother to hang out with, so I’m the only other person he can talk to? But he always seems to like our conversations. I ride around him with my bike, and we talk all the time non- stop, like couples would always do, and laugh at each other’s jokes.

 But there’s that voice inside my head that says you’re going to die if you’re with him for no reason at all.
