These Dreams

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

STEF POV

"And matter is anything that takes up space." I heard Mr. Anderson say as I was zoning out in Science and doodling on my trapper keeper. The time was going at a snails pace as I daydreamed about the morning I had with Lena and anxiously waiting till she could come over after school. Shit she was so pretty it was making me nuts. I loved her giant glasses but wanted to take them off so I could see her pretty brown eyes. I loved her curly wild hair that I wanted to touch and that I knew she was self conscious about for she always put it in high ponytail and I loved her smile. Good lord did I love her smile and those full lips. Maybe it was a bad idea inviting her over to play records but screw it. I wanted to and hoped she could come over. Finally hearing the bell ring I jumped out of my seat running into Mike in the halls.

"Long ass day. Crap." He said as I busted out laughing.

"I know. You had woodshop?"

"Yeah. I wish we could get a younger teacher. Dude is like 100 and can barely hold the tools. He almost dropped the saw on his foot."

"Geez."

"Yeah too bad he didn't then we could have gotten outta there."

"You're terrible. Least we have gym today and I'm gonna kick your ass."

"Stef keep you're money where your mouth is. You know you can't beat me in ball. It's a proven fact."

"I can and I will Mike Foster." I said now throwing a few books in my disorganized and hectic locker as Tess walked beside me opening hers. Glancing toward her she knew I was staring as she put her books away as well and Mike leaned against his locker shaking his head.

"Hi Mike." She said clearly avoiding me.

"Hey Tess."

Looking to him he chuckled at me and smirked for he knew what a pain she could be as I rolled my eyes looking to her once again.

"You ever gonna talk to me or what?" I said bluntly as she turned to look at me.

"Is that your way of apologizing?" 

"Apologizing for what?"

"Forget it." Slamming her locker door she walked off as I let out  a sigh.

"Question?"

"What?" I said to him trying to find my homework.

"Why do you put up with her?"

"She's not bad all the time."

"Ha. Most of the time." He said as I looked down the hall seeing Tess holding hands with Eddie and my stomach instantly turned. "When Eddie dumps her she will want to hang with you again. You know that right?"

"It's whatever Mike."

"Alright. I'm just looking out for you. I know she's your best friend but she's a pain in the ass. Her cousin is way nicer. Speaking of which we still on for Friday?"

"Hell yeah. I even got my dad's car."

"Wow Frank lent you the duster?"

"Yup!"

"Don't screw it up with your mouth Stef. Or we'll be riding the bus. I know how you are."

"Yeah, yeah. Relax. My lips are sealed." I said seeing Lena come down the hallway looking even cuter then she did this morning. By this time my heart was already racing  as her eyes looked right into mine and I smiled my widest at her and it was one she returned. Shit.

LENA POV

With Tess out with Eddie after school Stef had written her address down earlier for me and I was so happy Aunt Roberta said I could go. Everything in me said this was  bad idea as I tried so hard to fix my wild hair and avoid wearing my glasses even if I knew I needed them. Putting them in my backpack anyway and tying my plain white sneakers I settled on the one cool pair of jeans I had with a tank top. It would have to do and I would never be anywhere near as pretty as Stef was.
