Starting to go to a new school. I hate moving. My mom says its good to move around and to meet new people. I think otherwise. I like the friends i have. We moved to Arizona. Out of all places! I didn't have much of a choice or a choice at all. I started this school tomorrow. I begged my mom to let me just stay home for another day but of course she says " its better to start now " like i cared.
Before I started tomorrow I made sure that i went to get new clothes, shoes, ya know the usual " first day of school " type shit. Its the night before school and me being me, I of course go on Instagram to post how miserable i'm going to be; how i already hate it here.
I decided i would wake up early, to look decent i guess. yes, i don't like going to new schools but im definitely not going out like i don't care about myself. I take my shower, wash my face and teeth, get dressed, put my shoes on, get everything i could possibly need and headed out the door. Im thinking my mom is going to take me, but she's still in bed so i ask " mom your taking me right? " she goes to say "no, you know how to ride the bus."
Now that my mood starts off real shitty. My mom tells me the time it comes and come to find out i'm ready really early so i could really take my time getting to the bus stop, as much as i dreaded stepping foot into this school. Maybe I could skip..
as I thought to myself. No that's probably not the best idea. Mama will find out.
Im leaving the house now. Making my way to the bus. Good thing there's not many people here. This one girl stood out to me. She's really pretty, but who am i.. I don't speak first. The bus pulls up. ugh! theres so many people on this bus. Theres barely any seat space. I look to the back to see if there are any empty seats. No one was sitting in the very last one so I sat there. I didn't want anyone sitting beside me so i just took my book bag off to put it beside me but before i could sit it down the girl asks " you mind if i sit with you? the bus is pretty crowded." I was going to say no but she was so damn gorgeous i said " yea sure."
It was quiet for about 5 minutes then she speaks and we start to have a conversation.
" What's your name?"
" Amber..you? "
" Lo, are you new here? i've never seen you."
"yea, i came here from Florida. "
"Oh okay well if you need any help around just let me know. we live pretty close anyway. you could text me too if that makes you more comfortable."
Okay woah there. I just met her and she's already wanting me to text her. I mean i'm not going to say no..
I say "okay cool, let me text you.", and she gives me her number.
We are now at school and i really don't want to go in. I could really walk my ass off campus like that bitch but ill go today and see how i like it. Im going to go straight to class because honestly, who really wants to walk in a class full of people staring at you as you walk in?? Not me. Plus i'd rather find my way before there are too many people in the hallway and me looking like a lost puppy. " hey Amber !?, what class do you have for first period?" Lo shouting from down the hallway. What i am going to do is walk up to her instead of yelling like i don't have any sense. no offense to Lo. " here is my schedule."
" We have 4 classes." said Lo.
Okay is that weird or what? We do have first period together so we finish on with our little conversation and walk to class. I had been wonder why her name was Lo..or why she decided to call herself that. Maybe its short for something. Id wait to ask though.
We get to class and the teacher introduces herself and say that i can sit anywhere. Lo says " Amber you can sit with me if you want." I mean why not? She's the only girl i "know".
As the week past Lo and I got fairly close. Im not going to lie i started to have a thing for her. Was i going to admit that to her? no. Its was Friday and we were getting off the bus and she asks
" Do you have any plans this weekend?, i'm going to the river to chill and listen to music, you're more than welcome to join."
Uhh, lets see I don't have any friends here, i dont do shit but sit in the house and I like her..
I think ill take that chance.
" Yea sure, what time are you going? You want me to meet you there or..?" I said.
" Im going around 1:00-2:00 , I can come get you." she says.
"Okay cool. I'll talk to you later." I replied."
I was low key happy as shit. Pshhk, i wasn't about to show it though. I get home " HEY MAMA.." I yell.
I get no reply, i guess she's still at work. I was going to tell her what my plans were for tomorrow but i guess i'll just have to call her.
*hours pass*
Calling my mom to tell her about tomorrow. She answers and I mention my plans about tomorrow and she is fine with it.
Night time rolls around and I want to go to sleep early so it can go by faster. I don't know about you but my ass was ready for the day that hasn't even started. Its Saturday, its 11:48, i'm going to eat, even though i don't have much of an appetite. Once i do that i'm going to take a shower.
While i'm in the shower i get a text from Lo that says " Im leaving now to come get you"
girl what the fuck. She said 1:00-2:00, its 12:47. Ugh! so I have to rush. I just replied with "Ok"
I finish getting dressed and I hear a knock at the door. Its Lo. Well i'm not done yet so she's just going to have to come in and wait because I haven't done my hair and put on my shoes. I tell her she can sit where ever. She's on her phone the whole time i'm finishing up. Im not complaining though. I'd do the same.
I get done
" you finally ready?" says Lo.
" Um first of all you said you were coming after 12 so what are you really doing.." i said.
"well someone has an attitude, come on lets go."
We get to the river and it lays out really wide into the river which was nice. There wasn't really anyone there, just a few people on boats.
"Lets sit here"
Talking about the end of the deck, where you could touch the water. Lo plays music. I really like her taste in music. Its more of my style which i'm attracted to. At first its pretty quiet between us besides of course the sound of the music. Then she leans closer to me as if she is about to ask or say something. Thats just me feeling her presence getting closer to me.
"Amber, can i ask you something?.."
