The Boy Meets the Girl

Chapter 2: Sierra and her Crazy Best Friend

Sierra's POV

           I can't believe I have to be in this class for another 8 months. This guy is such a party pooper with the face of the freakin grinch. I look at him hearing my new friend, Ethan make a comment about why he isn't married, and start laughing hysterically.

           My attention was pulled to the door as it started to open. I look up and I see this boy. Not just any boy, a really good looking one. He walks in and we make eye contact, his gorgeous brown eyes sucked me in. His face had a blank expression but it was still hot as hell. I felt like my heart stopped beating. I knew who he was, he's in the same grade as me but I have never talked to him. We all have those people in our lives who we thought were out of reach. Maybe a few words in middle school about his bad hair but nothing special. My friends and I never even gossiped about him, the only comment that I can remember was about him consistently making out with his girlfriend right behind me. He definitely had a glow up. He is looking at me. I don't know why, do I have something on my face? Stop being a creeper and look away. So I do.

           I finally look down at my notebook and start "writing" while I hear Mr. Party Pooper yell at him to sit down. I couldn't stop thinking about how I will never be able to talk to him. He runs in different circles and honestly seems like one of those people who would never even glance at someone who wasn't in their "squad". He looks like the boy that every girl would want as her boyfriend. I mean look at me, I'm ugly. He is perfect, at least the way he looks is perfect. That's why that glance in the beginning is all that we will be. I was distracted from my degrading thoughts when my name is called as well as a command to go to his desk. I go up and he gives me a paper. I look at the name, Blake.Oh shit.

            "Why are you just standing there? Go give the paper to him!"

               I start to slowly turn around and find him playing with his pencil. How much cuter can this one boy get? I want red roses and Justin Bieber at my funeral. I think as I walk towards his desk. Looking up at me once again our eyes meet, I almost pass out. I finally get to his desk, thinking of ways to open up this conversation. I don't just want to put the paper on his desk and run away but at the same time... If we have somewhat of a conversation, who knows if we will need to call 911? I open my mouth hoping that there will be no drool coming down the sides as I talk.

               "Blake? The asshole sitting as his desk gave me this paper, thinking it was mine but it obviously isn't, so here ya go." I smile while I hand him the paper. His hand softly touches mine and I felt myself get weak. To add to my stress, he replies.

               "Thanks, and your name is?" he questions his head tilting to the side like a puppy.

               "Sierra" I say back, while hearing my name being called by my weird ass friend, Justin. I smile while turning around, grabbing my notebook, and making my way to Justin's desk. We start to compare notes, and he makes a dick joke which makes me almost fall out of the chair. Our laughing fit was disrupted by the bell. I quickly grab my bag and phone from my desk, meeting my friend Dakota outside, but I turn around to see Blake, for probably the last time today. I turn back to her smiling.

              "Well you seem overly happy, spell the beans bitch!" she takes my hands and starts jumping up and down.

              "There is this boy..."

              "Is it K2? Because you guys are made for each other I swear." Dakota is my overly head strong best friend. We have been best friends since we were kids in our elementary school. She is gorgeous, funny, weird,and witty. So, as we are girls, even though we are tomboys, guys are still a major part of our conversations. I may or may not think that this one senior is insanely hot, but Dakota thinks it is a horrible idea to even think about him because her crush told her he was a pedophile that tries to get with us freshman. Even though she might not like him he was deemed, K1. K2 is an insanely funny guy in my english class who I am friends with. She thinks he has a crush on me just because he is nice to me. Okay I'll admit he does some things that seem like he is flirting but he isn't.

            "No, it's just someone who transferred to my spanish class. I think he is really cute actually." I say with a shrug as we walk to our next class.

             "Girl, hurry up and spill my class is on the other side of the school." Dakota replies while she walks in a hurry. Did I mention she is a goody two shoes? Oh I didn't! Well, Dakota is a goody two shoes.

             "I'll tell you later, I swear." I say as we both walk in seperate directions.

             After two dreaded periods of boring teachers I finally head to my favorite academic class. Math. I am one of those people who despises the subject but loves the teacher so it becomes my favorite teacher. This guy makes math really fun because he cracks jokes like nobody's business and also makes some jokes that only he laughs at.

             "Today, we are going to be learning about the quadratic equation. You are never going to use this in the real world unless you become a teacher. If you do not have patience do not become a teacher. So Bob, do not even think about it, you would probably end up killing a kid." The whole class erupts in laughter. Bob blushes but at the same time chuckles a little. You see what I mean? This teacher is awesome.

             School finally ends and I go to my locker. My friend Bailey comes by my locker asking me about everything that happened in the day when I see him. Blake is at Ethan's locker which just happens to be right across from mine. Ethan is definitely a person my squad talks about. Back in seventh grade we shipped him with one of his friends who was also a boy. Ethan and I have a couple of classes together and he is probably one of my favorite people to talk to. He is really fun and is easy on the eyes too, if you know what I mean.

               "Okay, girl who am I shipping you with now?" I hear someone say, turning around I find Dakota staring at me with several books in her hand.
               "I thought you had soccer or something today." I asked her as we walk out together, when I see her crush walking behind us.

               "Nah, today is my day off from soccer but I have marching band practice in like two hours. So I was wondering if your mom could give me a ride home." she replies as she has yet to notice who walks behind us. As well as her crush, I see his whole squad which sadly includes Blake, Ethan, Liam and Wyatt. She continues to run her mouth a mile a minute when we see Riley ahead and call her over. The three of us walk through the halls laughing like we are delusional.

                What happened next was hilarious. So Dakota being the person she is decided that it would be better to talk while looking at both of us in the face, so she decides to walk backwards. As she walks and talks oblivious to the world around her when behind her a bunch of random upperclassmen walk about to bump into her. Riley reaches for her stopping her from possibly dying. The upperclassmen look at her weirdly before continuing on with their day.

               "Thank you for saving my life." Is all Dakota says in complete seriousness before she dies in laughter. As soon as her composure breaks mine does as well and all three of us are laughing so hard there are tears in our eyes. I turn back to find several of the boys trying their hardest to stop themselves from laughing. Dakota deciding she is not ready to die finally uses her brain and walks like a normal human being.

               Riley and the boys who were creepily spying on us go in separate ways from the two of us. As Dakota and I walk to mine she tells me stories of her new crush who just so happens to be one half of my new favorite otp.

              "Well girl, who is this new guy?" Dakota asks me as we are only a minute away from my house.

              "You know Blake, right?" I reply as we stop outside of my house.

               "Of course I know who he is but I don't know him. He is not that bad looking though. It is definitely going to take some convincing before I ship you with someone else though."

               "It is nothing yet. But I don't even like K2 so I don't know why you ship us." I reply back as I enter my house with her following.

               "It's my job since you're too blind to see it yourself. But maybe this Blake and you could be something." She says as she asks my mom if she could drop me home. As her voice fades I think about him one last time before continuing on with my day.
