Only Bad Girls Get Good Grades

Just Forget the world

"If I lay here" I voice out looking over into the big blue adoring eyes that stare into mine. His blonde hair mixes into the warm grass on the ground. His hand interlocked with my own. I brush his blonde, shimmering hair out of his face see the features of his soft eyes.

"If I just lay here" he sings, his eyes glowing in the sunset. I smile lightly, hearing the voice in its calmest, most soothing voice. It's like a whole new person was born out of his hateful shell. I don't think anyone's cared for me before. I don't think Anyone's loved me like this.

Two weeks we've been together.

Me and James.

He's so perfect. He's.....He's mine. Officially two weeks ago. When Ris broke up with him.

Ris. I'm worried for her. She's so distant with me now. She won't tell me what's wrong. She refuses. Ever since that night. That night that I had James at my place. She was so hurt. I have noticed that she's smoking a lot. Like a pack every other day.

Is she getting worse? I have no clue, but let's not think about this on this perfect moment. I stare up into the beautiful mixes of pink, purple, orange, and blue in the skies.

"Would you lie with me"

"And just forget the world. Forget what we're told."

"Before we get too old-"

" I love you Freddy" I look over to him again in shock. His eyes are widened as well, shock of what he had just said is obvious.

"I-I love you too, James"he sighs in relief and turns his view back to the sky. I do the same.

"Your the first person I've ever said that to and meant it." He says, closing his eyes. " I really do mean it Freddy. I love you." I look Into his eyes, seeing the pure sincerity in his eyes and that's when I realize that I've crushed on this teenage boy for so long, and I never even realized it myself. I guess I felt different around him, but I never realized it was...

Love.

The thing I'm terribly afraid of. But I have good reasoning. My parents are divorced. The only thing they have agreed on in the last 6 years was that I should live on my own.

I stare into those beautiful eyes, feeling the intense, unknown emotion that I had never learned before. I lean in, wanting to feel his soft lips against mine.

Ad like it was timed, that's when my phone rang.

I didn't want to answer it. Like really didn't Want to. But James reached into my pocket, pulling out the phone and putting against my chest.

"Answer it." I groan and pull it up to my ear with a full smile.

"Freddy? Is that you?" I hear a panicked voice say. My smile falls into worry, as James notices his goes aswell.

"Yeah this is me who is this"

"It's Frank, Clarissas uncle, you were the favorite on her phone, so we thought we would tell you. . ." That got me to jump up to my feet, already heading to the car. James hops up behind me, trying to pull my hand back.

"What is it?!" I almost scream into the phone, fear building up in my body.

"Ris overdosed on Xanax mixed with vodka today." I fall to my knees from the feeling of a large stone falling ontop of me. Something I know is that she doesn't take Xanax. She bought them from someone. The phone falls from my grasp, onto the grass below me. I begin to wail, my trapped emotions flying from my eyes and my mind.

"Yes hello? He's distracted right now, what is it? Which one? Okay we'll be there. Bye" he pulls me to stand by taking my hands and pulling me towards the car.
