Stand By Me

Chapter 3

Catherine's (p.o.v)

I thought my life would never get better but then here comes along James. He could be the person I needed to stay strong.

"What's your 1st period class?" I asked trying not to seem to forceful

"History,with Ms. Jones." James said flashing a sweet smile

"Me too!" I quickly replied.

We quickly scurried away to their class. Through the whole class we looked at each other. Quickly looking away when our eyes both met we kept trying to hold back a smile.

We both went on through our classes. When it was they end of the day. Just when I was walking out of the doors James ran up to me.

"Do you want to come to my house around 7 my family is going out to my relatives house for a couple of hours, maybe you could show me around, here is my number?"

He grabbed my phone putting in his number. I smiled and took my phone back seeing that he put himself as "James;)"

"Yeah, that sounds great!" I exclaimed.

hours later....

I stared at her phone. He sent me the address. He only lived a couple of houses down. The time was about 6:30 I had 30 minutes to get ready.

I quickly took a shower. Then I put on my white top and a pink and blue maxi skirt with some black sandals. And some rose scented perfume. I wanted to look nice, this is the first date I have been on with a good guy. I started making my way to his front door. I knocked and he walked out, my jaw dropped open. He couldn't have been any better. He was wearing a black v neck shirt and tannish pants with green vans.

"Wow, you look beautiful." James said. I couldn't help but blush.

"You don't look to bad yourself." I complimented back

We stood there smiling at eachother.

"You want to come in?" James questioned

"Sure."

We strolled in and sat on the couch.

"You have a big house!" I exclaimed

"Thanks." he said back chuckling. We sat there awkwardly.

"So..where should we go first?" he said trying to cut the tension

"We can go to the park, if that's okay with you."

"Yeah."

He stood up took my hand and went to the car. When we arrived at the park the view was amazing the park was on top of a hill. You could see the buildings and streets hugging the skyline. It was too perfect.

We sat on a park bench chatting the night away. Looking into each others eyes. James leaned in close, putting my hair behind my ear and lifted my chin. He leaned in close, and so did I . Just about when we almost kissed James phone went off. He saw he had gotten a text. He replied and quickly gave me a "I'm sorry" look and said.

"I have to go." He said

"B-But I-" he cut me off

"I'm sorry." He exclaimed kissing me on the cheek and quickly turning and running off into the distance.

(Thoughts)

What? What just happened? We were just having a great conversation, when he got a text. What did it say? He then gave me a kiss, but I didn't pay attention to that I was too worried about what the text said. What was he hiding? Does he have a girlfriend? Was I lying to myself that I could actually get a guy like him? I don't know, but I am going to find out!
