A Lifetime With You

Jericho's POV

Let's start by setting things straight, Most people love to listen to music and just vibe with it. Music is food for the soul. Working out while listening to music is my favorite. Imagine just putting on your earphones stretch a little and go for a long run. You can go with the beat or just basically enjoy it. The right jam will always put you in the right mood. I think everybody agrees with me on that. I wouldn't know because I wouldn't really care.

I woke up as early as 2:00 am just to drive to my jogging area. It was an hour-long drive which made me really annoyed. I usually workout nearby but I remembered that my mom was building a new house for us. I have a 40% chance of moving to that place since mom thinks that a small house isn't right for a family like us. I arrived an hour later and couldn't help but take a deep breath in. It felt like the area was so clean and fresh as if it wasn't of the city. It may seem like I'm exaggerating but anyway It's workout time. I always workout early in the morning just to avoid my two sisters from making me their personal driver to school even if they really have an actual personal driver. It sucks being the eldest and being the one in charge even if you are only a year apart.

I took another deep breath and continued to run. No need to worry Jericho you are a varsity player. You need to be confident even if you think that you aren't attractive. I guess most guys would love girls to scream their names and give them gifts every time but in reality, it gets really annoying. I don't mean to brag but being called handsome every day makes you want to think that maybe I'm just mainstream. Ugh! I need to calm down and think positive 'cause it's the first day of school. 7:00 am classes and It's 6:00 I better head to school I still need to shower in the lockers. I'm a senior high student and still, I am so immature as I thought of that I rolled my eyes and ran faster to get to my car. When all of a sudden...

"Shit" I whispered to myself

I stood up and dusted myself off.

"Try being careful next time and use your eyes." I whispered once again

I haven't gone far and the next thing I saw was a bag going straight to my forehead. I eventually fell straight on the floor. WHAT THE HELL! That bag is way heavy and that hurt so fucking much. She stared at me before she panicked completely and said sorry to me. Is she crazy? She threw that bag at me with a freaking laptop and now it seems like I'm at fault? Out of anger, I asked her if she knew who I was but I think she didn't. This is the first girl I met that didn't even have a clue who I was even if I clearly stated my name. I guess she isn't business oriented or doesn't keep up with the news. Who is this girl? She even said something sarcastically to me. I stared at her and then I noticed that she is very pretty. She has this fair colored skin and her eyes just sparkled as she looked at me. I could describe her eyes and everything but wow she is pretty. At that moment I had no control over myself and just said: "You're cute miss...?". I said what I said although I didn't know I said it my brain was debunked with her smile. God Jericho how stupid can you be?

I then proceeded by asking her name but all I got was her last name. That last name seemed very familiar so I asked her if she is related to the Lorenzo Group of Companies that went bankrupt a few years back but she said she wasn't. Then I thought to myself maybe she really didn't know anything about me. I offered to drop her off at her school since it seemed like she was in a hurry or something. Unlike other girls that would say yes she didn't. She was feisty and started giving out reasons. I counter offered to drop her off to my own school thinking at least she would know what school I was from. She then told me that we actually go to the same school! What a freaking coincidence! But she doesn't know me? How? I'm the team captain of the basketball varsity. I think this girl is messing with me and my head.

As I was driving I couldn't help but glance at her. She seemed nice but oddly suspicious as to why she has no idea who I am. I looked through my rear-view mirror and notice that I had a cut on my eyebrow and my nose was bleeding. I didn't really take notice of it until she called me MISTER. I was partially annoyed because I know to myself that I am baby faced and she calls me that? She even told me to swing by the clinic which made me feel weak but I saw her eyes again.

"BEST FIRST DAY OF CLASS" I blurted out

I started to drive faster because she started to rant and get pissed. I got to know her name. From now on I'm calling her Miss Kay on the side note that she doesn't like to be called that. It's 6:55 when she started to really panic. Is this girl a book freak? You know those people who care about their grades too much and don't like to be tardy. I was about to be turned off when all of a sudden I saw her run in a cute way. I got my things and as I shut the door I noticed something on the seat. A debit card. I tried shouting and calling her name but she didn't even care. I guys I'll return it the next time I see her.

7:10 and I'm casually walking through the hallway like it's just a random day. I started to remember Miss Kay and her smile and everything about her. I smiled as I got into the boy's locker. I guess I'll just keep thinking about her and enter my next class at 8:00 instead.
