Lotty

Part 7: New Kid

In the morning James wasn't there. I looked around and I saw a note on the small table that was next to my bed. It read:

Lotty,

I left last night once I heard Olivia walking toward your room. I am not going to be at school today. My family and I are hunting. For animals of course. I love you. You are my Juliet.

James

I got up and got ready for school. I had to text Jake so I could get a ride to school because I woke up late so the bus had already left.

Me: Hey Jake could you please pick me up I missed the bus

Jake: Sure I'll be there soon

Me: Thanks Jake

Jake: No Problem you're my Best friend

When Jake showed up I ran outside. I didn't look as presentable as usual. I was wearing a pair of guy sweat pants and a tank top. I wasn't wearing make up. My hair was only brushed not straightened as usual so it was super curly. In my opinion I looked like a mess. I got in the passenger seat and buckled up hoping he wouldn't mention my horrible looks.

He looked over at me with wide eyes. I looked away the moment I saw his face. Please don't say anything. He smiled and grabbed my chin then turned my face toward his. "You look amazing." I was shocked "Really?" He smiled and nodded "Absolutely." I looked at him then I started thinking. Would James think this? Would he like me without all the makeup and style?

Jake began to drive and then Thousand Miles came on and we began singing. As he was driving I felt like I was being watched. Like someone was staring at me and studying me. I ignored this feeling and focused on having fun with my best friend. We ended up getting to the school and we went to class.

I sat there in science class bored but I still felt like I was being watched. I looked around the classroom trying to see if someone was staring at me but nobody was. That's when the principle walked in with this tall guy that had big orangeish reddish eyes and raven black model hair. He looked straight at me with a sweet smile. The principle introduced him as Michael Loftman. He was from New York and moved here with his parents.

The principle asked if Jake could let Michael work with me for the rest of the year because I was the best student and Michael didn't know the material. I looked at Jake and I could tell he didn't like the idea but he agreed. Jake went over and worked with sneezy Suzy. Michael sat next to me and smiled "Why hello, my name is Michael. What is your name beautiful?" I looked at him "I'm Lotty." He smiled brightly and class began.

Today we would dissect frogs. I wasn't very excited for this because I didn't like blood. Blood just got me sick. One time when I was younger I fainted at the sight of blood when I fell off my bike and scraped my knee. Michael could see that I wasn't comfortable so he offered to do the cutting but I needed to do this. One because I needed to get over this fear and two because Michael didn't know the proper way to cut it. I grabbed the small knife and placed it gently on the frogs stomach.

I was hesitating to cut it but Michael came behind me and grabbed my hand and he helped me cut into the frog. I looked at him blushing but then I remembered James and I pulled away. Michael looked at me "Sorry I didn't mean to bother you." I looked at him "It's okay it's just I have a boyfriend already." He looked at me with his big eyes and smiled "Oh well he is a lucky man." I blushed and then we continued to work.

At lunch Michael sat with Nick Michelle Jake and I. We all got along really well and Michael was hilarious. Michael was also really sweet. He reminded me of some guy you would only read about in romantic novels. When school ended he offered to give me a ride home because Jake had to drive Nick and Michelle to their houses. I said yes if course and he drove me home. He even walked me up to the door and kissed my hand "Goodbye Miss Lotty. Have a wonderful night." I smiled "Goodbye Michael." Then he left.

I walked into the house and went to my bedroom. I sat on my bed and got out my homework. Then James hopped through my window. He smiled and picked me up and spun me around. "Hey beautiful." He kissed me gently then put me down. "How was school?" I smiled "It was fun. A new kid came in. His name was Michael. He was hilarious." James looked at me and then hugged me. "Well I'm glad you had fun. I missed you." I kissed him "I missed you too." After talking a bit James helped me with my homework. The rest of the night we watched movies and hung out. Then I got the feeling again. Why was I getting these feelings? Nobody was even there besides James. I ignored it again and started falling asleep. Right before I passed out James leaned down and kissed my forehead "Goodnight princess. I love you." Then I fell asleep.
