My Best Friend

Emily

Emily's POV:

My name is Emily Nicole Smith, I am from Livingston, Louisiana. I attend Doyle high school here in Livingston. I am currently 17 years old and just started my senior year of high school. I am currently getting ready for school. We have to wear uniforms so, I grab a pair of my khaki pants, and white polo shirt. I go to my bathroom and take a quick shower. Once I am out of the shower, I get dressed, brush my teeth, and put my hair in a high ponytail. I slip my glasses on and put my belt on. I slip on my black converse and grab my book bag and go to the living room. I sit down at the table and say, "Good morning mom!" my mom looks up from fixing her coffee and says, "Morning Emily, are you riding with Laine to school today?" So, you're wondering, whose Laine? Well, Laine is my best friend since Kindergarten and I normally ride with him to school every morning. Yes, I have my license but, I don't have a car yet. I can't take my mom's car because she has to use it to go to work every day, and there is no way i'm driving my dad's old truck and it breaking down on the side of the road. Now, don't get me wrong, I love trucks but, my dad's truck is just an accident waiting to happen. Anyway, I look at my mom and say, "Yea! I'm going to text him and see what time he'll be here!" She nods her head and I pull my phone out of my pocket and scroll to find Laine's contact. 

TEXT MESSAGES:

Emily: Hey boy, am I riding with you today or what? 

Me and Laine talk to each other like this, so he doesn't think to much about it...

Laine: Not today, guess you're going to have to find another ride!

Emily: R u serious! U could have told me last night!

Laine: Well, things change ya know..

Emily: Seriously Laine! How am I gonna get to school then.

Laine: Walk.

Emily: Ha! You're so funny! I'm not walking!

Laine: Fine, I guess I can spare you a ride..

Emily: Ty! :D See ya in 10 mins!

Laine: K.

END OF TEXT MESSAGES

I told my mom that I was riding with Laine just to confirm it and I go wait outside. 

*10 minutes later* 

I look up from my phone and Laine is pulling into my driveway.  I get up from my front porch swing and walk to his truck and get in the passenger seat. "Good morning!" I say closing the door. "Morning." he replies. He isn't really a morning person. We live 45 minutes from our school so, I just sit back and relax until we get there. "So, do you have a track meet this afternoon?" I speak up breaking the silence. "Yea, you coming?" he replies back. "I don't know, I'll have to see what my parents want me to do." I say. He laughs and then says, "Emily, you're their princess I haven't seen you ever lift a finger to do anything." I look at him with my mouth open and say, "For your information sir, I do my part of the chores!" He shakes his head and keeps driving. We finally get to school and we walk in. I go to my locker and get my books for first period which is History. "See ya in 3rd period!" Laine says walking down the hall to his first period class. Laine and I take third period together which is gym. 

Laine's POV:
I walk down to my English class which is first period and sit down middle ways of the classroom in my desk. I pull out my notebook and began copying the notes on the board. "Alright class, today's assignment is going to be in your English textbook, page 105. Do problems 1-20, whatever you don't finish is for homework." Mrs. Banks says. I get out my textbook and start on the assignment. I get the 18th problem and the bell rings. I quickly gather my things and head to my locker. "How was English?" Emily asks since her locker is right by mine. "It was alright, what about history?" Emily pushes her glasses up and says, "Boring, boring, boring." I laugh and then say, "Well, I guess i'll see ya later!" The bell finally rings and I head to my 2nd period class which is Algebra. Time goes by slow everyday in this class cause Gym is my favorite class. Finally the bell rings and I write down the homework and head to my locker. I get out my gym back and head to the gym. I go to the boys locker room and change into a spirit shirt and green basketball shorts. I go sit down on the bleachers and wait for the coach to tell us what we're doing today. "Okay class! Today, you will be assigned partners, you each will be given a list of exercises to do that ranges from sit-ups to running. This will last the whole period so, get ready to be exhausted after this class!" Coach Turner said. I waited and listened as Coach assigned everyone with partners. "Kayley, your partner is going to be Nick." I watched Nick get up and go over towards Kayley. I smiled at him when he looked my way because I knew he liked Kayley. "Okay, Emily, your partner is going to be Laine." I looked up and motioned for Emily to come to where I was. After coach assigned everyone's partners, he gave us each a list of exercises and made us each take a spot in the gym. 

CONVERSATION BETWEEN EMILY AND LAINE:
Laine: Okay, ladies first, so you get to go first!

Emily: Ugh, fine... What's first?

Laine: Umm, Sit-ups.

Emily: Okay, remember you have to hold my feet down.

Laine: I know, I know.. Just hurry up *Pushes forehead back* 

Emily: Laine! *laughing* 

Laine: Shh and do your assignment *laughing*

Emily: *Laughing hysterically* I can't... Your face when you pushed me

Laine: What about my face? *laughing*

Emily: You thought I hit my head and your face made this weird expression 

Laine: So we talking about my face now? You should look at yours. 

Emily: Laine! I need to teach you some manners! You never tell a girl something is wrong with her face. *laughing*

Laine: I'm just stating facts.

Emily: So, you're calling me ugly? *laughing a little*

Laine: I didn't say you were ugly, I just said something was wrong with your face cause you said something was wrong with mine. *laughing*

Emily: So, now you're calling me pretty? *Laughing a little.*

Laine: Well.... *Looks away* We should probably finish our exercises

Emily: Yea.. and I wasn't trying to embarass you.. :) 

Laine: You weren't.. I think you're pretty, just as a friend thought though. :) 

Emily: Aww, thanks Laine! :) 

END OF CONVERSATION
Emily's POV:

Laine and I finished our exercises and soon the bell rung. We ran to the locker rooms and got dressed back into our uniforms. We headed back to our regular classes and finished out the day. I only seen Laine during lunch and he said he would take me back home. The bell rung for everyone to leave, I quickly went to my locker and gathered my books I would need for homework and headed out to meet Laine at his truck. We rode to my house in silent and when we got there I said, "Bye, I'll text you later!" Laine smiles and says, "Okay, talk to you then!" He backs out of my drive and I go inside. I eat dinner with my family, take a shower, do my homework, and lay down in my bed. It is about 8:30 pm when I layed down. I usually don't go to sleep until 9 or 10 so, I texted Laine.
