After I finished my homework my phone started to ring. I looked at the name and I realized that it was James.
'Why would James be calling me? ' I asked myself. I answered the phone and said, "Hey James, how are you?"
"Hey Belle, I'm good how are you?" James seemed to be in a joyful mood.
"I'm good thanks for asking. Why did you call me?" I asked curiously.
"I need to ask you something Belle."
"Okay, what's the question?" A part of me hoped that he was going to ask me out, but that is highly unlikely.
"Um... I-I know that we just met and we haven't been talking for that long. And I know that we don't really know each other that well but... I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend?" He asked scared, and stuttering on some of the words.
Oh my goodness! I can't believe he asked me out! I'm so happy right now!
"Yes! I mean, uh sure whatever." I tried to act cool but that failed miserably.
"Okay great. I'll text you later, I have to finish my homework." James said.
"Okay, bye James. Talk to you later."
"Bye Belle." With that James hung up the phone, to hopefully go and do his homework.
I can't believe he asked me out. I can't believe that he asked ME to be his girlfriend. There was way prettier girls at our school, and he asked me out. I can't tell my mom because she would kill me. I would never hear the end of it. I also can't tell Emily right away, because if she found out that I was James's girlfriend, after she told me that he was bad news, she would yell at me and tell my mom. I'll tell Emily next week. I'll give subtle hints that I'm dating someone, but I won't tell her until next week. I here my phone dinged, so I picked it up and checked to see who texted me. I see that it is from Emily.
'How did you like your first day at Richfield?'
I replied, 'It was pretty good. I made some new friends. They are really nice people.' And I got a boyfriend, but I'm going to leave that out for now.
"None of them are Calvin, Gray, Leo, or James right?'
Um, 'No,' Yes! 'Of course not. You told me to stay away from them, so I did.' What's a little white lie going to do?
'Good. Well I gtg to bed. Good night Belle.' Emily ended.
'Good night Emily. See you tomorrow.' I replied.

The next day I went to school, and went to my first class for that day, which is Language Arts. Emily didn't have the same first hour on B days but, James has the same first hour as me on B days. So, at least I got to see him. When he entered the room he took a seat right next to me.
"Hey Belle, how are you today?" James said in such a nice way, it was hard to tell that he's the son of one of the three men that tried to take me.
