It was noisy when I woke up. Rain was pounding on my metal roof and lightning struck somewhere in the distance. I got out of bed reluctantly and went downstairs. I grabbed whatever I could stuff down my throat before rushing off to school. Hampture high school wasn't a very friendly looking place with its weeds that scoured the thick gray black brick walls and shrubbery scattering the pale green grounds. It was built to be a castle in the late 1800s and now serves it's purpose as a drab school.
I entered the thick oak wood doors that it took 3 people to open, so they just propped it open for the day, and saw a familiar face in the crowd of people. I stopped and gazed at the utter handsomeness of Nathaniel Forte the most popular guy in school. Sighing as I walked past him at his locker I walked upstairs and into my chemistry class. Only to be disappointed when the bell rang, Nathaniel Fortes name was called three times and it was obvious that he'd skipped.
It was never pleasant when a teachers' wrath is pointed towards the class when he has figured out that the star athlete has skipped class again. Mr. Hansen was infuriated and ended up snapping a total of 4 pencils before the bell rang signaling the end of first period. We all rushed out of the room before Mr. Hansen snapped yet another pencil. I walked to gym class thankful that he didn't yell at us like he did the last time Nathaniel skipped.
I got dressed and started to play basketball. When I tripped and I didn't realize who I tripped over, it was Nathaniel and he looked pissed. I quickly got up and brushed myself off while apologizing to him.
"S-sorry."
"What the hell did you do that for? Did you purposefully tripped over me, is that it? You're a disgrace!"
"I tripped on accident, you're an effing jerk."
"Wow, I'm a jerk? You're the one who tripped over me."
"On accident and yes you're a jerk.. I've got to get back in the game, bye, and I'm sorry again." I ran back to my team mates and felt Nathaniel standing a few feet behind me.
Coach called me over to him after I told Nathaniel to go away after I got hit by the ball.
"Amelia what did you do that for the young man was just trying to help you up?" Mr. Richardson asked me in his deep harsh voice.
"Well he should've thought about that before he accused me of tripping over him on purpose." I said walking away so I could change before the bell rang.
The rest of the day went smoothly I rushed to my powder blue VW bug and stopped looking at Nathaniel leaning against my driver side door. Sure he looked sexy and all but I wasn't going to give him the benefit of knowing that I like him.
I walked up to him and shoved him off of it so I could get in but he stopped me holding me by my shoulders strongly.
"We need to get to know each other Amelia." Is all he said before walking off to his black vanquish and driving off. I raced home to find my parents in the living room with fake smiles on their tanned faces.
"What's wrong?" I asked sitting across from them on my circle spinning chair.
"We have some exciting news for you honey. Now don't freak out." mom cautioned. "You're getting married!" She yelled doing an excited happy dance.
