In love with the skater boy

Chapter Four

After I finished my dance I stayed still for a minute and I noticed the fact that it was to silent to be a room full of people so I opened my eyes to find everyone staring at me with wide eyes and their mouths hanging open. Geez, if I was that bad they could at least try to hide the shock. I cleared my throat and Ms. Simmons started to clap her hands, I also noticed her eyes were kind of glossy like she was about to cry; soon everyone joined her clapping and smiling at me.

“Layken that was so beautiful, you have improved so much over the years” Ms. Simmons said and gave me a hug afterwards.

“Thank you but I still have a lot to learn” I said honestly, sometimes I think I have a “not enough” complex like in whatever aspect of my life there’s always someone better than me.

After rehearsing a little bit more but without audience this time I headed home and after taking a shower began doing my homework, sometimes I hated the fact that I had so much stuff going on and wish I could be lazy all day like some of my friends.

Next day at school I’m dreading even going but I know I have to, so I get dress and drive myself there. When I get there Laurie is waiting for me at my locker, she looks like she is about to burst and I guess there has to be some top gossip to put her like that.

“Oh my God, you wont believe what I heard!” she exclaims as soon as I’m in hearing distance. I keep walking to my locker and start to gather my books for my next classes as Laurie is bouncing besides me.

“Hello to you too” I try to say in a serious tone but I know she will sense my amusement. She ignores me and continues, “Well, the student council decided that for this years found raising they are doing a talent show and the winner gets automatically nominated as prom queen and if it’s a guy he gets to nominate someone!!”

I stare blankly at her until she starts to shake me “Why aren’t you excited about it? You could totally win”

“You do know I’m part of the school council and everything you said I already knew, right?” I reply calmly “Besides, why would I participate I have so much stuff going on as it is” I close my locker and continue walking to my first class with Laurie following me

“Geez Layken, live a little you know that participating and winning would be so much fun” she glances around and when she sees Austin aka her boy toy of the week she says bye to me and leaves but not without promising me we’ll talk about what will do for the found raising later.

Soon enough, I’m in AP chemistry, this is the class I was mostly dreading and all because of a stupid skater boy. Dancing made me forget about what happened yesterday but now it’s all coming back to me, the way he touches me and make my body feel tingles all over, the way he says my name, the way he…

My thoughts are cut by the chair moving besides me and Damien sitting on it, he looks amazing as always, I hate how is that easy for boys to look good, I mean even when they look like they just roll off bed they still make it look hot, ugh girls have it hard.

“Good morning Barbie, how are you this lovely day?” he says in a mocking tone and even when he is giving me that stupid smirk I can’t stop thinking about yesterday, damn teenage girl hormones, I blame everything on them.

“Just leave me alone and do us a favor” I’m lying through my teeth, I don’t want him to go away but I need him to, I need to regain the control and focus on my life.

He smirks at me and turns to look at the front of the class but when I’m getting my notebook out of my purse I think I hear him say “You weren’t saying that yesterday”
