I'm straight. I'm straight. I'm straight. I'm straight. Okay, maybe just a little gay; but still straight. I'm straight. I'm straight. I'm straight.

Today has gone by too fast, here at Lavender Creek High it feels as if i did nothing in all my classes. My head has been spinnng since I saw the girl in the locker room. Her gym locker was, 34B, not far from mine. Her face was unforgetable, she has been the only thing on my mind all day and i don't even know her name. As i walk up to my car i begin to dig through my bag in search for my keys. Nothing. I think about where they could be and the first place to pop in mind was the gymnasium.

I walk back up to the main building, through double doors and blank hallways i reach the gym. By now everyone has gone home so i make my way to the girls locker room once again. I open up my gym locker to find my keys resting there in the middle. I overflow with relief, i turn my head to locker 34B in thought of the mystery girl. I replay her beauty in my mind and instantly find myself smiling like a goof.

I approach her locker in caution worried someone might catch me. I peak through the air holes in her locker and see a pair of bright pink nike free runs, a Bulls snapback, and a blue hoodie. I like this girl even more already.

I head back to my car and see a girl eyeing my mustang. I can't see the girls face but she has golden blonde locks falling down her spin, and a green rim snapback.

"I like your ride" she said as i walked up to the driver's side to unlock it.

"Thanks" i say looking up to see the girls face. I almost drop my keys in realization it was the girl from this morning. I scanned her body up and down, from her white converse all the way up to her snapback. She was still so breath taking. I shake my head and turn my stare the other way.

"My name's Anna" she said in her beautiful voice.

"Bella" i said smiling at the fact that i finally learned her name. We shook hands without breaking eye contact. Our hands lingered for a bit in one anothers, after a while we realized we had been shaking hands for two minutes so we finally released. We stood there in silence with eyes locked. Our beautiful silence was broken by my phone ringing. She tore her gaze away and back to looking down at the car as i pulled my phone out.

"hello?" i said into the speaker feeling guilty for picking up and ruining the moment. It was Jason on the other side of the phone talking. Jason is my ex-boyfriend i guess you could say. We had a thing over the summer, didnt mean as much to me as it did to him i guess.

He had been non-stop calling me for a month since summer ended. I now regret ever giving him my number. I tell him to stop calling me and to get over it. I hung up on him and silenced my phone. I turned back to Anna who was still stareing at the sports car.

I looked at the time to see it was already 4:37. Anna looked up once again but she didnt look me in the eyes this time when she said she better go.

I watched her walk away wishing she hadn't. A wave of courage flowed over me as i called out to Anna and ran up by her side.

"Here's my number" i said with an unsure smile hoping she would take the crumbled piece of paper from my hand. Luckly she saved me the embarassment and took the paper and smiled widely. She began to walk away and i did as well.

"Hey Bell," i heard Anna yell out and i turned her direction.

She held up the small paper with a smirk and yelled,"I'll be sure to put this to good use" she winked. I blushed with an uncontrolable smile plastered on my face. I got in my car and let out an excited squeal. I bit my lip and began to drive off into the sunset.

I stopped to pick up dinner on my way home from the movies with Jay. I tried to keep my mind off the fact that Anna still hasn't called me. It had been two days since we first spoke and I just can't stop thinking about her. Jay has noticed my weird behavior but hasn't said anything yet. Until now.

"Alright, what's going on in that beautiful head of yours, Bella?" he said as we got into the car after picking up our food. I hesitated to answer his question, so he continued to speak.

"Ever since that party Wednesday night you've been acting weird, what happened that night?" he asked with worry.

"Honestly, I don't know. The majority of the night is just a blur to me. I mean I remember a few moments here and there, but nothing important." I say out of a need to assure him nothing has changed.

We arrive at my house and go inside. I can tell by the look on Jay's face he is still confused about it all, but he'll get it soon enough that I was too drunk to know what went down that night. We finish all our food and talk about the NBA games coming up next seson the rest of the night. Around 10pm Jay decided to head home so I ran upstairs to shower. The pressure of the hot water felt amazing against my tense shoulders. I had no clue why I was so tense lately, maybe something did happen that night. I get out of the shower and ring my hair out.

As I make my way back to my room I see my phones screen light up on my bed. I run over to it in such a hurry I almost dropped my towel. I pick up my phone and see it's just a text from Jay, as much as I love Jay I ignore his text I'm sure it was just a joke about him seeing aliens on his walk home.

I plop myself onto my bed and think of Anna's smile. The way her teeth are aligned so perfectly, the way her lips are so full and pink and look so damn kissable. I am soon brought out of my daydream by my phone ringing, not the first time it has interrupted a moment. I look down at the screen, it's a phone number I don't recognize. I answer it anyways.

"hello?" I say.

" Hey, Bell" I can tell by the sexy voice on the other side and by the way she called me 'Bell' it's Anna. I love how she's the only one who calls me 'Bell'.

"Hi Anna," I said with a grin that reached from ear to ear.

"Told you I'd call" I could hear her smirking on the other line.

"Well, I'm glad you did" I said and there was a comfortable pause of just us quietly laughing through the phone.

"I was just thinking about you" I said with no thought. "Shit. Did I just say that aloud?" I could feel my cheeks burning up. All I could hear through the phone was her cut little laugh.

"I was just thinking about you too. That's kind of why I called" she finally said. She didn't seem to mind that I was thinking of her and the thought of her thinking of me made my cheeks red.

We talked for hours getting to know one another more and more. We laughed and spoke just for the sake of speaking. I didn't want the call to end but when I looked at the time it was 1:29am. We said goodnight and hung up. I couldn't contain my joy but all I could do was smile like a creep. My phone was at 3% so I plugged it in its charger and went to bed.
