Love at First Skype

Chapter 11- Liam

Hi patient, patient readers! I’m not going to even try to explain the craziness that is my life right now, but when I was done with this new chapter (finally) I got the stomach flu and couldn’t update!! :( but anyways… Here it is!

Chapter 11- Liam

I am in complete denial that school is starting in a week and a half. Sitting here in the parking lot of my new school, I’m finally picking up my class schedule. I push open my car door and notice a couple of brunette girls staring at me; automatically I check my maroon shirt to see if there’s a stain. They giggle. It must be because no one knows me as Lukas’ nerdy twin brother yet. I think to myself. Ignoring them, I walk towards the school. It’s actually really pretty, and rather new looking. There are huge glass windows everywhere, and the name is spelled out in gigantic letters across the front: McKell High.

          I grab one of the shiny silver door handles and walk into my new prison for the next year. Even the floors are sparkling. Following the arrows, I head to what I assume is the counseling office to pick up my schedule, and run into a crowded line. Thank goodness I didn’t go with Lukas or Mom. Waiting in the line, I take the time to look at the map on the wall. The school really is huge, it has three floors!

          When I finally reach the front of the line, there’s a stern looking lady at the desk.

“Last name and ID” she orders.

“Hominy” I reply digging around in my pocket for my wallet.

“You were supposed to come with your I.D. out and ready” she glares at me “didn’t you see the signs?”

Pulling out my wallet, I just hand her the card without replying.

She fingers through the schedules before finally finding mine after what seems like an eternity.

“Thank you” I say with a smile as I turn around and walk out the door.

While I’m walking back to my car, I look down at the white sheet in my hands.

Physical Education. Honors Anatomy. AP Psychology. Honors Government.

I can already tell that it’s going to be a long, long semester.

After rushing home to call cheerchick on time, I promised her I would at exactly 5, right before she goes to work, I quickly hand my schedule to my mom before sprinting up the stairs to my room.

Leaping onto my bed, I grab my silver laptop. After I quickly turn everything on, I glance at the clock- 4:59. With a sigh of relief I click on her name. My heart beats quickly the same way it does each time I call her and I wonder if it’ll ever go away.

“Hey, look who’s on time” she says as her blue eyes and smile fill my screen.

“Hey you” I say with a smile back, “What have you done all day?”

“Nothing good. I went and got my schedule from school today.” She says looking undeniably adorable.

“Wait you did? Me too!” I reply excitedly.

“That’s a coincidence. What school do you go to?” she asks.

“Well my new school is McKell High, I’ll start this school year with everyone else.” Is my answer

“EEEEEEEK!!!!” she squeals, and it kind of hurts my ears, “ that’s my school too! Oh my gosh! What’s your schedule!!”

“Physical Education. Honors Anatomy. AP Psychology. Honors Government. What about you?” I respond nervously.

“Aw no! AP Biology, Pre calculus, Spanish 4 and Honors Literature. I hate that we don’t have any classes together, but I’ll see you around right?” she says hopefully.

“Of course, I can’t wait.” I grin back.

“I better get to see you” she says with a cute wink. “Gotta go to work! Talk to you soon!” she giggles and signs off.

She’s just so great. I really am excited to meet her soon. Dang it! I forgot to ask her name!  My mind is going twenty miles a minute and I don’t even know what to think. All I do know is that cheerchick189 is really awesome and I want her to be mine.

I close my laptop and set it on my nightstand.

"So who was that? Was that the same Skype Girl from before?" Lukas nosily asks.

"That was absolutely none of your business." I reply quickly.

"Oh but anything and anyone that attractive is my business, if you know what I'm saying heh heh." he chuckles

"I'm serious. Don't go near my laptop, and don't even think about her. Yes, she is attractive and she is mine. Stay away and don't mess this up for me." I glower at him.

"Yeah yeah. We will see little bro, we will see." And with that, he left my room and slammed the door. Ugh he better not screw this up for me. I would literally kill him. It'll be okay, it'll all be okay.

So, after such a long break, what do you think? I hope you all liked it! Tell me what you think, and be sure to vote! Love you lots! Sierra
