Pick Up Lines Are Stupid
"Hey baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" A random guy from behind asked. I looked around noticing his four other friends behind trying to hide their laughter. I rolled my eyes ready to ignore him when I noticed the other people expecting an answer.
"Oh great, you're calling me Satan." I responded sarcastically.
He blinked, "What?" And everyone laughed. I flipped my hair and walked away. As I was walking away my wrist was yanked.
"Hey chicka. Are you from Tennessee because you are the only ten I see." A latino boy from my spanish class said.
"Antonio, please don't start with me."
He lifted his arms in a mock surrender, "Fine. Fine. No harm done."
I brushed pass him continuing to my next class. As I passed the guys bathroom I stopped dead in my tracks when a boy suddenly moved in my way. "I didn't know angels flew down this low." I snorted and pushed past him.
This is becoming a nuisance. I sat down in class. People were brushing past into the door sitting down. Then one guy sat beside me taking my friends desk who I haven't seen all day for that matter. "Sweetheart, did you eat any sweets today? Because you are just sweet enough to eat."
"Leave me alone or I will kick your butt!" I sassed. The teacher walked in. She looked up and called on him to get into his seat. I snickered and wrote down the notes from on the board.
The bell rang! Thank God! All during class the boys have been throwing notes at me. At first I didn't know exactly what was going on. I started to actually read it when it started. One saying: Charzards are red, Squirtles are blue, If you were a Pokemon, I would choose you. I love pokemon but that's not really good. Another said: Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers. And the worst of all: Do you have a name or can I just call you mine? Oh God that was really lame and stupid but funny.
I gathered up my things and hurried out the door. I pushed past the students trying to ignore the random spike of pickup lines. I had music class next. I rushed to class hoping I wouldn't get stopped. But of course I did.
Luke, a boy who was in my biology class, didn't even say anything. He was just staring at me. "Stop looking at me!" I huffed.
"Sorry I was blinded by your beauty." I pushed him away.
"Luke, and anyone else who says anything like that again will be killed." I pushed passed him going to class.
Music class was great. No one tried anything. And I could focus. Thank goodness.
The day was almost over. I just had one class left. P.E. God kill me NOW! I hate P.E. especially without my best friend here. I stopped at my locker to put my things in that I wasn't going to need when a slip of paper slipped out. Oh God it better not be another pick up line!
~Hey Girly Girl skip P.E. for once and meet me out in the woods in our spot. It's important! I'll see you there~ Your Best Friend In the Whole World!
I smiled. Skipping P.E. would be amazing. No P.E. and just having time away from all those stupid boys who keep trying pickup lines. I closed my locker and headed out. The halls were starting to empty. I ran out the door looking like I was going to the greenhouse but went straight to the tree lining. I climbed over tree logs. Walked over wet fallen leaves from the storm last night. And brushed twigs out of my hair. The wind picked up and I felt the droplets from the previous day.
Then the tree came into view. The tree that was struck by lightning. We found it last year. And ever since, we always come here to hang out and get away. It was sturdy enough to climb so I started to climb up. I sat on one of the lower branches swinging my legs. Then my legs were grabbed and yanked. I didn't even have time to scream or register who it was when I fell. But before I hit the ground arms wrapped around my waist.
"I guess you can say you've fallen for me, Ashe." Ryder said helping my firmly plant my feet on the cold, wet ground.
"Ryder! Where in Heaven's name have you been! You missed all of class! I didn't see you all day!" I yelled. He chuckled and lifted me up again putting me back on the branch.
"So how was all those boys today?" Ryder asked.
I scrunched up my eyebrows, "Ugh don't even bring it up!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's so stupid! All those pick up lines were idiotic!"
"You didn't seem to mind mine ..."
I stopped and looked at him and paused. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Uh scoot over so I can get up there." He dodged my question. But I scooted over and he climbed up sitting beside me.
"Ryder what do you mean when you said I didn't seem to mind yours."
"It's nothing Ashe. Leave it." He ordered. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't go ordering me around! Now tell me. WHAT DID YOU MEAN!" I commanded.
"FINE! Last week at the fair I told you that I was going to miss you when I had to leave. And you said you would miss me too."
"And...? I say that all the time!"
"Then I said I rather kiss you then miss you."
I didn't say anything and remembered the moment he was talking about. I remember blushing like a tomato and pushing him away playful. I remember when his hand brushed my arm sending shivers up my spine. I remember when he held onto me when I got scared at the clown.
"I-I Ryder I.."
"I had all of the guys to say pick up lines that I've always wanted to tell you."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "Ryder I've always liked you. But I didn't want to ruin our relationship." I said. He grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. We pulled apart when the rain picked up.
