Second Chances

Chapter 4

    I turned off my truck and got out. I stuffed my truck keys in the pocket of my leather jacket and threw on my backpack full of books. I locked the doors to my truck and began to walk towards the school. I was walking and all of a sudden an idiot swerves around the corner of the parking lot and almost hits me. He blared the horn and I roll my eyes. Just then I realized that was Justin.  Justin Normad. 

    I continued walking into school and opened the door right on time. I go into my first period class and sit down by my best friend Lydia. She passes a kind smile and I get out my history book. Man, I hated history but I needed to know it to pass. I opened my book and began jotting down the notes the teacher had put up on the board. 

    The bell rang as I finished the notes and I closed by book and put up my notes and pen. I put my book in my backpack and went to my next class.  I walked down the hall on the way to my locker when I see Justin leaning against it like he was waiting on me or something. No, why would he be waiting on me. 

    I went to open my locker and he grabbed my hand. " Don't think you are just gonna ignore me Jade. I almost hit you this morning and you are gonna treat me like you don't even know me?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders, my hand tingled form where he was touching me.  He then let go of my hand and one of the football players came over to him. "Hey Bro, ready to hit up the-" then the guy looked at me " Who is this Justin?" The guy asked. " It's my best friend Jade Garner, Nate" he said.

    So his name was Nate and I'm supposedly Justin's best friend. How did that come of? I sure am happy.I didn't really talk to Nate much but I knew every other football player and everyone that played sports. Nate shook my hand and winked at me as he walked away. " So wanna eat lunch with me today?" Asked Justin. " Sure, sounds good" I replied to Justin feeling so so happy. Justin smiled at me and walked away. I opened my locker breathing hard and all of a sudden my best friend Lydia ran up to me.

    " Justin. Justin Normad was talking to you!" She exclaimed " He also called you his best friend!" She yelled and hugged me. " Woah chill, that ain't all. He also invited me to eat lunch with him" I said smiling  Lydia looked like she was about to explode with excitement. The late bell rang. " Gosh, we are late Lydia!" I yelled. I threw my back pack in my locker and ran to the classroom with Lydia hot on my tail.
