My alarm beeps loudly waking me up from my peaceful slumber. "Gah shut up you plastic piece of garbage" I say as I hit the off button with a little too much force.
After it stops making that dreadful beeping noise I roll back over and stretch my hands above my head groaning in exhaustion.
When I finally get up ten minutes later I lazily stroll over to my dresser to and pick out athletic shorts and a tshirt at random.
I then stroll over to the bathroom and put on the clothes, then throw my hair up into a high ponytail. Then I walk into the kitchen eat a quick breakfast of applesauce and look out the window waiting for my ride to come.
Since I do cross country I get to spend my summer break going to Weights every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings.
Fun.
It's actually not terrible since I actually somewhat enjoy working out, it's just that the ride there sucks.
Why? You ask?
Because lucky me gets to carpool with probably the most annoying boy you will ever meet. Dereck or as I like to call him, shithead. Not only is he stupid, mean, and overly full of himself, he also happens to have a huge crush on me.
Like I said... Fun.
I'm stirred out of my thoughts by a horn beeping and I look out the window and roll my eyes. It's him. Oh boy. Here goes nothing.
I walk outside and hop into the passenger side of the car. Even though I'm going to be a senior next year and I have my drivers license, I can't drive myself because my car is at the auto shop in town getting fixed. It's supposed to take another whole week to finish.
Until then I'm stuck riding with shithead, I mean Dereck.
As we pull out of my driveway he immediately starts talking and tells me what he did yesterday as if I'm interested. This is basically how our conversation went.
Him- "Yah yesterday was pretty tough, I drove the tractor around and cleaned all the cows' stalls and then I drove my truck down to my grandparents house to help them with... Blah blah blah blah blah."
(He seems to think that just because he works on a farm he's pretty hot stuff when in reality I don't care)
Me- "mhmm, yep, that's great"
When we finally pull up to the school an eternity later he's still talking and I get out of the car and rush up to the school hopeing no one saw us together. I hate it when that happens because then we get all sorts of stupid "are you dating" questions and he plays it off as funny and talks about how "She wishes we were"
I call BS on that one.
I on the other hand tell them straight up, "never in a million years"
Anyway, I walk through the doors and down the hallway to where everyone is hanging out waiting for training to start.
***
I get in a good workout that day and when it's over I set out to cross the parking lot to Dereck's car. As I'm crossing the lot I hear a voice say, "See ya Abby" and I look up to see probably the cutest boy in school smiling at me, Marcus Winley.
"Umm ya you too..." I stutter and then I feel my cheeks flush in embarrassment as he chuckles and winks at me, flashing me a flirty smile before walking over to where I suppose his car is.
I stand there somewhat dumbfounded. It's not that I'm not popular or pretty, it's just that I'm definitly not the most attractive girl in our school or the most popular. Basically he could do better than me.
But I shake it off and walk over to Dereck's car where I slide into the passenger seat and wait for him to come. As I sit there thinking I decide that it was just him being a flirt and I'm just overreacting because I'm a teenage girl.
"Yes." I say to myself, "That's all it is."
I look up and see Dereck heading towards the car doing his normal "I'm so cool" show. He walks over to the car and makes a huge show of getting in and making sure everyone who's looking sees that he's driving. I roll my eyes and hope no one saw me sitting in the passenger seat, specifically Marcus. Then I sit back and pretend to listen as Dereck talks and talks and talks the whole ride home.
