Let it Be

"Sorry about Matt he can be, well you know-"

"Matt." Jeffery finishes hazels sentence.

I nod my head and I turn my attention towards a girl who is walking through a cleared pathway by the students. She had blue eyes and blonde hair. Her complexion looked flawless, with not a single blemish on it. I have to admit, she's gorgeous. She isn't wearing any makeup and she's just wearing normal school uniform.

"That is Victoria." Isaac said.

"She doesn't look like a hooker though" I whisper to them.

Mya looks at me and starts to laugh at my side comment and nudges my shoulder. "Good one."

"Did you hear that she got detention? Mr. Fuller caught her giving a guy a blowjob in the janitors closet". Lauren said.

Jefferey whispers something into Grace's ear and Grace swats him on the chest.

"We should get to our first class." I say to them right after the bell rings.

"Bye." some of them said.

"I'll catch up with you later." Mya says.

I walked down the hallway filled with a lot of different bodies and loud conversations that filled the air.

"Oh! They were right. There is someone new here. I'm Victoria" Victoria smiles and waves at me.

"Hi. I'm Ashley" I say cautiously and continue my way to class.

"Do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" She asks when I'm halfway to my class already.

"No thanks. I don't want to end up wearing pink on Wednesday." I mumble the last part to myself.

I make it inside my class and quietly walk over to my desk. As soon as I sat down, the tardy bell rang and everyone else flooded into the classroom. Matthew came in through the door last and glanced at me before taking a seat right next to me.

"I guess Mr. Espinosa decided to join us on time." She smirks.

"There's a little change in the project that we are going to do. I decided that you can work in pairs of 2, 3, or 4's. You can also pick your own partner this time. We are starting this on Friday. okay? I still have to grade other classes papers so do whatever you like. Except shout across the room." she said.

Everyone then just bursted out into obnoxious loud talk and Mrs. Bakersfield rolls her eyes and sit down in her teachers seat.

Me taking advantage of the free period, I took my composition book out and started to doodle on the paper. I started to smile to myself when I saw an old drawing that I made when I was 13 but then I felt a sudden presence of a person looking over my shoulder.

"Hey, I'm sorry about this morning" Matthew said.

"Okay." I say still paying attention to my composition book, feeling insecure that he may or may not be looking at my doodles.

"Its just that no one knows I'm in AP physics except the people in that class which is only like 15 people. Please don't tell anyone." he begs.

"Why?" I say then drop my pencil on my desk and look at him.

"Its kind of embarassing" He mumbles and rubs the back of his neck.

"Not really." I say

"It will ruin my reputation" He says.

"Okay then?"

"What are you drawing?" He asks then looks over my shoulder.

I quickly slam the book close and push it to the side. I interlace my hands together and place them on my book and I say, "Nothing that concerns you".

I grabbed my composition book and put it in my bag, and zipped it up. I huff and sink down in my seat and stare at the clock, itching to just jump out of my seat when the bell rings.

"Okay." Matthew says and takes the glasses that were resting on my ears.

"Hey! Dude give them back" I say and push his shoulder.

"After you take out your ponytail" He smiles.

"Why?" I ask.

"Just do it."

I take out my ponytail and my hair falls to my shoulders. I part my hair on the right side and fold my arms at Matthew.

"Can I have them back now?" I ask.

"Yes." He smirks and hands them to me.

I reached my hand out towards my glasses but then he ended up pulling it away from my grasp right when my finger brushed up against the black frame.

"If you wear your hair down the rest of the day and not wear your glasses."

"That's stupid. I won't be able to read" I roll my eyes.

"But you look pretty this way."He pouts.

"Just give me my glasses." I swat his chest.

"You hit pretty hard for a girl." He grunts.

"Hello class" Mr.Scott says.

I took my attention towards the window right after those words flew out of his mouth.

Matthew still sits next to me because there are assigned seats. He gives me some glances here and there. I still kept my glasses off and my hair down because he still has my glasses.

I take a glance at Matthew and he's playing with my glasses. Its kind of adorable actually. And I don't mean cute. When I call someone adorable, I mean baby face adorable or puppy adorable. When I call someone cute, well that's a different story.

I'm still glancing at him. No wait. more like staring. He then looks at me and passes a note.

'we are going to get some pizza during lunch do you want to go?'

I write 'okay' on the note and pass it back to him. Once he takes a look at it he looks back at the board.

Matthew and I walk to the parking lot and he leads me to his car.

"Where is everybody? You said 'we'." I retort.

"Me, myself, and I. You, yourself, and you. That's 6 people" He smiles.

"Oh gosh." I mutter and enter his truck.
