~ Beep Beep Beep~
I slammed my hand down onto the top button of my alarm clock. Finally that annoying noise stopped, i starred up at my ceiling while i continued to lay in bed. Today was the start of yet another dreaded school year consisting of, being bullied by people around me, attempting to get good grades, sitting alone at lunch, not getting invited to parties, staying home every night studying, and watching reruns of Supernatural on Netflix. Its days like these where i realize how pathetic my life really is. i slowly rise out of my bed and unwilling head towards the bathroom.

-Beep Beep Beep-
My alarm clock rang demanding that i get out of bed. i obeyed slinging my legs over the side and sitting up, i stood up and walked over to my window flinging the curtains open. i noticed Lexi brushing her hair and smiled, I've sorta had a thing for her for a while but I've never thought much of it, mostly because i know she wouldn't go for a guy like me. i creepily watched her pull her hair into a pony tail and put her glasses on that i always thought made her look adorable. She looked over at me, i quickly looked away blushing . when i looked back up she was holding a notebook with writing saying " Ryder please put a shirt on". Now you are probably confused as to why shes holding a notebook, about 5 years ago my parents started getting into fights, no not fist fights but they did get to the point where i was sure my dad would have hit my mom if he didn't know any better, but ever since then Lexi would sit in the desk in front of her window which was in front of mine, and she would sit there and we would talk through notebook and pen until my parents stopped fighting. about a year and half ago my father left us but Lexi still continued to talk to me, which is when i realized i had some feelings toward her. Most girls just sleep with me and then leave and go brag to their friends but Lexi has never tried anything like that with me, mostly because we've never talked in person but i just know that shes different from other girls. I quickly look around my room for a shirt to wear, i see one on the floor beside my desk, i pick it and smell it. "smells clean" i whisper to myself before throwing it over my head and looking for a pair of jeans.

I watched Ryder search for a shirt and laughed to myself. I went to my closet to look for something to wear, i grabbed jeans and a t-shirt. Even though it was still hot out i didn't feel comfortable with my body to wear shorts. I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt because i like to dress for my body type. I'm not like most girls who are extremely skinny, or have curves in all the right places, i don't have a flat stomach, my thighs touch, and i don't have huge boobs or a nice butt. I like wearing jeans and t-shirt because they fit my body type better then skirts and fancy blouses. After i go back to the bathroom to change and brush my teeth i walk back to my desk and sit down. Ryder was also sitting down on his phone. I knocked on my window to get his attention, his head immediately shot up i smiled and look down at my notebook. I wrote on it and showed it to him

I laughed and rolled my eyes at him while standing up.I walked to my bathroom and grabbed a tube of black mascara. I don't really get the whole concept of make up but i like how my eyes look somewhat better with mascara. i apply a few coats to my lashes and put my glasses back on. I walk out of the bathroom and hear my brothers truck start up." crap" i mutter to myself. I grab my phone and a sweater and stuff it in my school bag before rushing down the stairs. I swing open the front door just in time to see my fantastic brother speeding down the road. I groaned and shut the door walking to the kitchen to grab money for lunch. This meant i was going to have to walk to school which meant being late because we don't live particularly close to the school. I stuff the money that my parents left on the counter for me and head out the front door locking it behind me. I walk down the front steps and see Ryder also leaving his house. I smile at him and continue walking down the sidewalk. I hear a vehicle slow down behind me, i look over to see Ryder driving beside me with the passenger window rolled down. " need a ride" he called out to me. i looked at him strangely since this was the first time the guy has ever talked to me. i hesitantly nodded and he stopped driving. i opened the door and got in, i closed the door and searched for the seat belt. "there's no seat belt on that seat so you have to sit in the middle" Ryder clarified. i slowly scooted over and put the seat belt on attempting to keep as much distance as i could. Ryder stared at me smiling, which i found a little creepy " what are you staring at" i asked finally talking to him. " its just you're really beautiful, did you know that?" he questioned. i felt my cheeks become hot and i looked down at my lap to prevent him from seeing my now reddened cheeks

While i was driving i decided it was time to make my move, i slowly took one of my hands off the wheel and put it around her shoulders. In the corner of my eye i could see her smiling and biting her lip. I smiled to my self, As we were pulling into the school parking lot people started staring at us but i don't care, i was happy she was with me. I parked the truck and we got out, "thanks" she mumbled looking at the ground. I took my opportunity and gave her a hug. I watched her eyes widen before she hesitantly wrapped her arms around me.
