the next morning i woke up with a lot of sun shining on my face, coming through my window. i then felt Ace licking my cheek and barking.
"hey! sssshh!" i laughed. he jumped off my bed before i got out. he trotted out of my room and i closed the door behind him.
after i brushed my teeth i got my red and black vans ringer tee out of my closet and put it on with some light skinny jeans. i put my normal daily makeup on and looked in the mirror to make sure i looked fine.
"five more days." i sighed. i went downstairs.
"hey, hon. made your favorite!" my mom was standing in front of the stove.
"yes! i knew i smelled pancakes." i poured a glass of orange juice and put two pancakes on a plate. as usual, i finished them really quickly. i finished the juice and put the glass and plate in the sink.
"are you leaving now?" mom asked.
"yep. gotta study again. the test is on Monday. i don't wanna take up the whole weekend studying."
"wow. what a surprise!" she teased.
i smiled and put my vans on. i waved at her and left from the front door. i got in the car and put the radio on. psycho by Post Malone came on. i thought about Jonah because he loves Post and this song. i put the engine on and started driving to school.
when i got to school i went up to my locker and started looking for Emma and Maddie, but they weren't here yet. it was only 8:12, eighteen minutes until school starts, but we're let in at 8:10 in case we have to study or if we couldn't come any later. i put my books in front of the math classroom and went to the library.
while i was trying to figure out a question on the study guide someone sat down beside me. i saw blonde hair in the corner of my eye. Alison. shit.
"hey, Sadie. ohmygod i said it right!"
"wow, you said my name right. you want a cookie for that?"
she rolled her eyes.
"so, anyways. about Jonah."
i learned back in my chair, "holy, can you stop?!?" i asked, annoyed.
"stop what?"
"with this you and Jonah shit."
"um, what do you mean shit?"
"these are all lies! just give up. i've had enough of this."
"okay honey, but when Jonah comes back. you'll see who he goes to first." she got up and walked out of the library with her purse and white heels. it was 8:24 so i put my books in my bag and starting walking to my locker. there were already a lot of kids standing around the halls and talking.
i put my bag in my locker and got my phone out of my bag. i felt a tap on my back, assuming it was Emma or Maddie.
"is it okay if i can just be alone for a few mi-" i turned around to see him. my heart lit up and my frown turned into a big smile. he smiled back. i noticed a cast around his arm.
"Jonah!!!!" i threw my arms around him but quickly took them away so i wouldn't hurt his arm. he just pulled me back and let me hug him, not caring about his cast. he hugged me back tightly. we hugged for a solid minute until his arms weren't around me anymore.
"i missed you. even though it was only three days." he said.
"me too! what are you doing here anyways?"
"they let me out early because i was clear of any other injuries. they just want to make sure i don't do anything big with my arms for a few days."
"how long do you have to keep that on?" i said pointing to his cast.
"oh, just until Wednesday."
"can you still do dance?"
"oh, right! we started our dance unit! i don't know, maybe. who are you choosing as your partner?"
i looked at him quietly. he stared back, not knowing what was going on. i made a face at him. he pointed at himself.
"yes! dummy."
"oh, okay. cool." he blushed.
"okay come here i have to talk to you about something."i pulled him outside by his non broken arm. we sat down on the wooden benches that they had for people to sit at during lunch.
"so. um. i don't know how to put this. but, uh. the-"
"just say it!" he exclaimed.
"okay fineee. after the boys and i visited you on Wednesday, they told me that you like me."
he started getting a nervous look on his face.
"and i like you too." i looked down.
his eyes widened as he turned to face me. we both stood up at the same time.
"what? really? since when?"
"grade 9. you?"
"7."
"wow." i said.
"yep."
"we just knew each other for so long and it seems weird because we kind of grew up together but it just happened and we both know each other the best out of everyone else in the grade and i didn't wanna tell you because i was afraid you'd think it was weird but then the boys told me and i alm-" i got cut off. our lips were touching. Jonah's hands were on my waist so i put mine on his shoulders. i closed my eyes and tried to kiss him back, not even knowing how. it felt like 10 seconds before he stopped and his cheeks looked like apples with how red they were. i could feel my cheeks turning red too.
but did that actually just happen? did Jonah Marais actually just kiss me?
(omg this is so cringy bahaha)
