Aquarius's Monday morning was like any other. Listening to music while getting dressed. She picked out a loose dark purple tank top, her normal jean shorts, and converses. She grabbed her blue bag and stuffed it with binders and books.
She ran downstairs and asked her mom for some money.
"What for?" Amelia asks, looking up from her computer and papers.
"For a lunch."
"Why didn't you make one?"
"I forgot, okay? It was a long week." Aquarius said.
"Fine. Here." She reached into her purse and pulls out a 5 dollar bill.
"Thanks." She snarled, grabbing the money.
As she did, a knock came from the door.
"That's me. Bye mom." She said.
She turns around and walks to the door. She opens it and sees Justin standing there, waiting for her by the pillar. He turns around.
"Hey. How was yesterday?" He asked.
"Boring."
He just shakes his head.
"Well, let's go." He said, opening the door.
"You know, you don't always have to open the door for me." Aquarius said.
"I know." He said closing the door after Aquarius got in.
"I'm a idiot." Justin thought, walking around the truck.
He got in and started it, pulled out of the driveway and drove toward the school.
They remained silence. Aquarius was still shy around Justin so she wouldn't start a conversation. After 5 minutes of being silence Justin asked a question.
"Do you want to listen to some music?"
"Umm...sure."
"What kind?" He said, turning on the radio.
"Well, not country. Unless it's kind of rocky. But I guess rock."
"What about new songs? From like, last year, and before that, and this year." He asks.
"I guess so. I don't really care." Aquarius replied.
"Ok." He turned on the radio and the song Hello by Hedley was on.
Aquarius looked over and Justin was tapping on the steering wheel.
She was curious as to why he was tapping but, she pushed the thought away.
"It's not necessary to know right now." She thought.
2 songs later they were pulling into the school parking lot. As normal, students close by were walking in, and school buses are letting kids off.
There was one couple kissing madly under a tree and Aquarius sort of watched them. Thinking about the last time she went on a date. Only 1 time has she went on a proper date. Then the next month they broke up.
She was crushed but never showed it. From then on she vowed to never date again. Unless she was sure it was forever. She thought that would take forever but, she would be happy.
They got out of the truck and they both went to their own friends. But Aquarius didn't, she felt like reading today, so she went to a tree and pulled out her book.
A couple minutes later the bell rang. Aquarius packed up her things and headed to gym class.
Then it was math, and lunch was 5 minutes away. Aquarius couldn't wait. She was at the best part in her book and the suspense was killing her.
