Got Chalk?

Chapter 2

"Happy Birthday!" Mike said. He nearly had to yell because of all the music blasting in the gym. We have the best sound systems for floor routines but really, this gym could make the best club ever!

"Thanks." I said and blushed. I automatically dropped my eyes to the ground. I hated it when i blushed, but it happened so easily. "So......"

"Haha whats wrong? You seem nervous?" He asked. Of course I was nervous! Mike was gorgeous  and i was, well me! Jenelle Adams! I'm just a sophomore and Mike's a junior. He was the guy that everyone in school wanted to be. He had great grades, big muscles, girls to the left and right and he was an AMAZING athlete (especially in gymnastics) "Ummm.... Earth to Jenelle??" He snapped his fingers in my face and i came back to reality.

"Oh sorry." I felt my cheeks burning even more. Why cant I have normal cheeks or be as pretty as Kim? I heard Mike laugh again. His laugh was so soothing.

"Well anyway, you look beautiful!" He flashed me one of him amazing smiles. I couldn't help but smile back. "Like always" He smirked and gave me a small peck on the cheek. I've always been close to Mike. We live on the same street so we always hung out as kids. But when he entered middles school, we drifted.

"Thanks. So what have you been up to Mr. Popular?" I giggled. Oh god..... why did I have to be so childish sometimes?

"Haha well actually I'm having a party tomorrow at my house to celebrate the New Year. You wanna come? You're always welcome." He smiled. I smiled back but that smile automatically fell off of my face. There was someone standing in the doorway to the entrance of the gym. Mike must have realized the tension because he turned to look in the same direction.

A tall figure with boyish good looks started walking in my direction. He looked amazing in his plain white shirt, leather jacket and slightly ripped denim pants. His hair was casually flipped to the side. He tends to do the Bieber flip. It worked for him.

He walked up to us and looked Mike and I up and down. I was confused by why he did that but then i realized how close we were standing. I quickly took 3 steps back. Mike gave me a confused look then turned to him. "Hey Justin!!" Its a good thing that Justin, Mike and I have always been best friends. Justin gets jealous really easily (which is cute) but he knows how close Mike and I are, so hes OK.

"Sup Mike!" Justin didn't even wait for Mike to respond he just took 2 long strides over to Me and picked me up in a huge bear hug. Justin was like 5 inches taller than me. But it makes sense 'cause he's a junior like Mike. He finally put me down. "Happy Birthday sweetie." He smiled.

I mirrored that smile and hugged him again. When i did I saw over his should and Mike was pretending to puke. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit. "So." i said to Justin "When do I get my special birthday kiss?"

"Tonight. At dinner." he smirked. He suddenly glanced at his watch. "Speaking of dinner. I need to leave and prepare somethings before that. So you hang here and i'll pick you up in about an hour." Then he turned to Mike. "Make sure she doesn't get into" He paused and smirked at me "Too much trouble." He quickly pecked me on the cheek and ran out of the gym.

Mike turned to me and pointed a finger. "Now young lady." He said in a hysterically deep voice as if he was pretending to be my father. But my father sounds nothing like that, or at least from what I can remember. "Don't get in any trouble! If you do, you'll be grounded for life! Am I Clear? I don't want to see any naked pictures of you online so be careful! That means no drinking and or grinding!" He gave me a cute little smile and swung his arm around my shoulders and gave me a slight squeeze.

We walked around to talk to people and then my found rang. I got a text from Justin:

Come on out. I'm waiting in the parking lot.

I waved goodbye to everyone and gave Mike a small peck on the cheek. Everyone in the gym just said one thing after they say that. "AWWWWWW"
