The Bad Girl's in Love

You Speak Spanish?

+Alyssa's POV+

I wake up and disappointment surrounds me when I realize ocean eyes isn't there. I know just yesterday I broke my hand on his imaginary face but last night he was there for me. No one has been there for me since my dad died. Not even my mom. My dad was the only person I was close with. My mom was always pushing my to be something I'm not. Telling my to be perfect. But my dad always told me I am perfect. He knew when Mom told me to be perfect it hurt. And every time she said it he was there to assure me I am perfect.

I still wonder if he meant it or if he was just telling me that to make me happy and not be upset.

It just felt really great to have someone there. To feel like someone actually cares about me.

I get up out of bed and head to the bathroom. On the way I close the window I'm guessing ocean eyes left open when he left.

When did he leave? I don't remember much from last night besides me crying and snuggling ocean eyes. And that for the first time in 5 years. Since my dad died.. I didn't have reoccurring nightmares to wake me up through out the night. Or to make me wake up looking like I just resurrected from the dead.

But now as I look in the bathroom mirror the bags under my eyes are gone and I actually look decent for once.

I grab a bag to put around my cast so it doesn't get wet then I get into the shower.

After my shower is over I head to the closet to find something to wear.

Since I don't look like a zombie today I think I'll go for something nice.

After a while I decide on white ripped skinny jeans with a red silky tank top and a black leather jacket. Then I get my black ankle boots and slip them on.

After that I grab my necklace and put it on. Then I tie my hair into another messy bun not caring that its still wet. And when I see my dad's old red bandanna I see it matches with my shirt and I decide to use it as a head band. After I tie it around my head I grab my bag and my phone and head downstairs.

"Hey honey." Mom pauses and looks at me. I'm waiting for her to go off and tell me how the Mayors daughter should never be caught in something like that. "You look nice."

What?

"Um. Thanks. Last night I slept really well."

"Yeah I can tell. You're up rather early too. Somewhere to be?" She asks.

"No not really but since I've got about 45 minutes before school I think I'm going to go get breakfast and some coffee."

"Okay, well take your medicine with you just in case your arm starts to hurt."

This is weird. She actually seems like my mom and not just the mayor.

"Okay mom."

And then she says something I haven't hear her say in 5 years. Something she's never said to me but always said to my dad.

"I love you."

"Oh. I love you too" I say in shock.

She gives my shoulder a squeeze and smiles then walks out the door and heads to work.

Okay then.

After sitting in shock for a while I grab my keys and get into my car and head to Dunkin' Donuts.

After I get my muffin and coffee I drive to the school.

As soon as I get to the school I'm very pleased to see my parking spot is waiting for me.

I smile as I park my car and think back to last night. That's when I realize what happened last night.

No that had to be a dream. Did ocean eyes really ask me on a date? Did I really agree? I don't even know his name..

I mean I wouldn't mind going on a date with him. He's really gorgeous and sweet. I honestly overreacted yesterday. Punching a wall. But I broke my hand so I learned my lesson. I don't know how I didn't scare him off. Punching a wall because of him. My anger issues are pretty out there.

I hear some kids whispering about something and I snap out of thought. I realize I am walking into the school now and there's quite a few people staring at me and pointing at my cast. I walked up to a group of people talking about it.

"Hey guys. I broke my hand punching a wall because some guy made me mad. I pretended the wall was his face and well.. I punched too hard and it just broke." I look at my cast. "Haha! Oops. Wanna sign my cast?" I pull out a sharpie and hold it out for one of them to take.

They all walk away giving me weird glances over there shoulders. After a few times I looked at them and smiled and waved my arm that has the cast on it at them.

I love messing with people.

I walk into my class laughing at the faces those kids made.

As I walk in I notice my seat is open just like my parking space was. Which means I really do have to go on a date with ocean eyes.

As I think about him I look around trying to find him but he isn't here yet.

I shrug and put my stuff on my desk and sit down.

Soon the bell rings and everyone sits down and waits for the teacher who's always late.

After the teacher walks in he closes the door and walks over to his desk at the front of the room.

"Good morning class. As you all know spring break is coming up just next week. For the rest of this week you will be doing projects on World War 1. Your partner will be the person sitting to your left."

Okay great. I'm working with David the invisible student. "Mr. Green um I don't have a partner." I look at the empty desk to my left.

"Of course you-" He was cut off by the door opening.

"Ah! Taylor! You're late. But you're new so this is your only exception. You can be partners with Alyssa. Get to work. Alyssa explain the project to Taylor."

I look to see who this Taylor person is a little disappointed that ocean eyes isn't here to be my partner.

Oh.

Taylor looks at me with a smirk I know too well already. His ocean eyes showing amusement.

"You know. It just occurred to me, that you slept in my bed last night and I just now got your name." I say smiling at him.

"Well you would have known last night if you weren't so quick on changing the subject before my mom could tell you my name." He flashes me a grin.

"Mhm. So Taylor. We are doing a projected on World War numero uno." I try changing the subject.

"Ouu you speak Spanish? Yo tambien." (Me too)

"Yeah my dad use to teach me new Spanish everyday for three years." I say shrugging.

"Okay so we should get started on the project." He looks serious about this. Well at least I've got a trust worthy partner.
