That Girl

The Day Everything Changed

"Ughhh... Monday... Don't. wanna. gooo...." I was half asleep and already complaining about going to school. Then, I remembered about Page. I hated the fact that I had to go to school even more, surprisingly. I sighed, stretched, threw on my bra and grabbed my clothes. I decided to wear my Higurashi No Naka Koro Ni shirt and grabbed my black skinny jeans. As I slid my shirt on, I started to sing the opening song for Higurashi and immediately threw it off. That show scared the shit out of me, I didn't know why I even bought it in the first place. I then decided to throw on my Patamon, from Digimon, shirt. I put on my socks and my converse. I went and brushed my teeth and hair, grabbed a toaster strudel and ate it. As I ate, I thought about how scary today would be to see Page's face because of Saturday night. I was almost too stressed to finish my food. After I finished, I ran out the door and said bye to Ma.

When I arrived at the school, I walked down the hallway, trying not to think about Page. All through first and second block, I could not focus on anything other than her. I walked into third block and saw her. Oh fuck. fuck fuck fuck...

"... Hey, Kat..." She said, looking away from me, blushing. I realized that I was just standing there, frozen. I cleared my throat and said hi then sat down, pretending to be calm. We were silent the whole block, which was scaring me even more than before.

I was about to leave school when I heard someone calling me.

"Kat!" I turned to face her, only to see that our noses almost touched. I stumbled backwards in shock. Page caught me just in time and stood me back up. She stepped back a bit and opened her mouth.

"Hey, so um... Want to come over to my place tonight to confirm things?" She was trying so hard not to stutter.

"No... Why don't we confirm things around the corner, outside school, to get it over and done with?"

"O-okay..." I took her by the hand and rushed us outside of the school to the corner no one goes to and no one can see from inside. When I stopped running, I turned around and got ready. We both sighed and locked eyes for a moment. I got a little closer and so did she. We stopped for a second, stand still in an awkward position. She opened her eyes and I closed mine as I rushed into the kiss. I tried to pull away but she started to kiss back. We stood there, making out, for a good 2 minutes. We broke away and opened our eyes. She somehow got her arms around my neck and I was holding her by the hips. I had no idea how that happened. We both dropped our arms and tried to force ourselves to say something but we couldn't even open our mouths wide enough.

"U... Um.. I'm guessing we uh have confirmed it? I still like you, that's what I found out. What about you...?" I managed to at least say that I felt the same way as before.

"Um... I feel the same way..." We both started to blush. We went our different ways to have a break. I was halfway to my house when I was stopped by a couple of guys. Oh great... It was Scott, our quarterback and his little buddies.

"Hey faggot, what are you doing hangin' around the new girl? She's super hot, unlike you." His buddies snickered at that.

"Scott, fuck off, will ya? Just 'cause you're not getting laid, it doesn't mean you can pick on someone who's a better chance than you do." His face grew dark and his fist tightened. He growled and started to slowly get closer with his buddies.

"Why don't you shut up, you twat? Oh, you're gonna pay for that..." He threw a punch and I landed on the ground. He grabbed my by the shirt and picked me up. He got ready to punch again and I kicked him where it really hurts. He fell down and dropped me. I got up and tried to run and his friends chased after me. Great, I have at least a fourth of the football team after me. Way to go, Kathryn Anne Green.
