The Player of the Neighborhood

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

I woke up to my stupid alarm clock beeping like crazy. I rolled over my bed to turn the beeping off. I didn’t turn it off unfortunately, if anything it got even louder. I hit it one one time but it still didn’t turn off. I stood up, unplugged the alarm and went back to my warm and cozy sanctuary. As if it was on cue Neil came in screaming his head off. Nothing was wrong with him, he just liked to annoy me and everyone in the morning with his screams.

“Shut up Neil! I will kick you so hard that you will have something to scream about!” Of course I really wasn’t going to kick him. Even though he is really annoying and stupid I still love him and Sydney. Neil screamed once more and ran out of my room. I got out of bed and headed for the shower.

After my shower I wrapped the towel around my body and went on the search for some clothes. I decided to wear my RUN DMC shirt that I got from my older sister Nicole when she moved out. I’ll tell you more about her later. Anyways my RUN DMC shirt, blue skinny jeans, and my black combat boots. I put my hair in a side braid and did my make-up. Well I only put on eyeliner and mascara. That’s all I really wear, no eye shadow or foundation. Takes too much time to put on and perfect. I grabbed my beanie, bag, and phone and ran down stairs.

I walked into the kitchen and saw that mom had my bagel and coffee ready for me. I walked up to her and kissed her and dad on the cheek. “Good morning.” I got a ‘good morning’ from both of them as I grabbed my bagel and coffee from the counter.

“Have a good day at school!” Mom yelled towards me as I walked out. It was followed by a “Drive safe!” from my dad.

“I’ll try mom and of course dad! Love you! See you after school!” I walked out the door closing it behind me and walked to my car. I put all my stuff in the passenger seat and got into the drivers side. As I got settled I looked out the window to notice that Noah was staring at me. I reached over to my bag and pulled out my phone and started texting Noah.

~’What are you looking at?’

-’Something beautiful.’ I blushed and looked up towards him seeing him still staring at me. My heart started pounding like crazy. Thank God that I was in the car so he didn’t notice.

~’Well thank you, I try.’

-’You’re welcome. :)’ I smiled and put my phone down to start the car. Taking one more look at him and put the car in drive with Noah still on my mind.

As I was walking to my locker I saw Skylar and Jacob being all lovey dovey and gross and shiz. I shivered at the sight. When Skylar saw me I mouthed the word ‘gag’ and she gave me her ‘glare’. It apparently scares everyone but me, Wendy, and Alice of course. I just shrugged it off and opened up my locker to grab my stuff.

After I slammed my locker shut I turned around and noticed that Nick, Noah, and Miles met up with Jacob. Noah was surrounded by a bunch of slutty looking girls with their tops cut, short shorts that even be called shorts, more like ‘underwear-that-looks-like-shorts’,and high heels.

Then I looked at Noah. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a white T-shirt that shows off his perfect abs, and a black leather jacket to finish off the look. He was also wearing a white beanie with his messy hair look that looked absolutely perfect on him. It’s like that style was made for him. I looked into his eyes while his was already locked onto mine. Great he saw me checking him out. - I will admit it, I think I’m starting to like Noah, just from that one night with him. - We just stood there and stared at each other for what felt like a long time. I got lost in his eyes and it just felt like the whole world just stopped or became frozen. The thing that broke our so called ‘stare off’ was the ringing of the bell indicating the start of school. I snapped out of it and started walking towards class. Wendy and Alice caught up with me while Skylar stayed with Jacob. It turns out that he has liked her ever since freshman year and never got the balls to tell her till now.
