Slow And Steady

Chapter:2

Next morning I wake up to my alarm clock's loud noise. I waited for a minute till I got up and took a shower. I wore coloured leggings with a black jumper over it, and tied my hair into my usual high pony tail.

I went downstairs and ate my breakfast. I suddenly hear a loud laughter coming out of my moms mouth. I look to her and she was on the phone talking to somebody.

'  Oh of course Maura! Of course, we have to!' my mom said. Maura? My mom used to talk about her all the time. They were high school best friends and my mom always used to tell me the amount of memories they had together.

'  Yes! We should, I don't mind at all!.... okay... yeah, sure!... alright, see you there' My mom said. ' Who was that mom?' I asked her eagerly.

' Honey that was Maura! remember? she was my best friend in high school. She just wanted to catch up with me' She said brightly as Jason came down

We reached school a little late since Jason finished his breakfast late.

I ran to the class and entered sheepishly. I apologised for being late while I got ' the look '.

I looked around the class and everyone had changed their places. My heart fell to my knee when I saw Greg on the third table. I was mentally dancing and slapping myself at the same time. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, what do I do?

I acted casual and sat on the first seat that was empty. Everyone was doing their own thing so I guess this is our study free period.

I took out one of my books and pretended to study. I was flipping out inside and I really didn't know what to do. I got my hair to one side, and took a quike look two benches behind just to see Greg look back at me.

I spun my head back. OH JESUS CHRIST. My heart was racing, was he looking at me all along? Should I smile at him? my heart was beating so loud. First period took forever to get over. Once I heard the bell rang, I took my own time to put my book in my bag, move the table ahead, and get up.

Greg passed me and looked at my table, then he looked at me, and I looked at the Board and back at Greg for like forever. Why was he looking at me? was he going to say something to me?

' Can you move your table behind so I can go? ' He asked with a smile

what? "oh.... yeah, haha, i'm sorry, yeah.'' I pulled the table behind instantly and ended up falling back on my chair. ' Whoop' I said all of a sudden, and looked around to see if anybody saw us.

Why was I so stupid?  Oh my gosh... hold on, if Greg is here, Mell is here too!

I ran out the door and bumped my shoulder into someone.. I apologised and ran behind Greg.

' Hey Greg!' he turned around. ' Is Bell here too?'  I asked

' Yeah... I don't know which class though.' He replied and half smiled. Oh gosh, he smiled at me.

'Okay, thanks' I said casually, and turned around.

I started walking and rambling to myself. Mell came from behind and put an arm around me ' So mr.wonderful is back yeah? '

' Yeah, but its no big deal, we anyway have only like one- two classes together.' I replied.

"Whats new with you, best friend Mell?' I asked with as smile

'' Oh same old same old best friend A'' she laughed. She then took a turn to go to her Chemistry class, and I went to my Biology class.

I sat on the second bench with another girl named Emily. Everybody slowly came in and took their places.
