The Older Guy

                                                                  Chapter 1

     Most people would say love at first sight was crazy, but in this moment I knew that was exactly what I was feeling. My heart was pounding so fast I thought my chest was going to burst. Josh was walking over to me and all I could do was stand around like a fool. Then all of a sudden I hear a loud annoying noise and quickly realize it was my alarm clock and I woke up late for the third day in a row. This was also the third day in a row I had the same exact dream; it's like my brain was teasing me.

   "Kacie you're going to be late for the bus, again." my mother yells from downstairs. I glance at the clock and it says 6:40, the time my bus is usually at my house. Luckily for me the bus was also running late today, so I got ready as fast as I could and made it out the door at 6:53.

   I get on the bus and sit next to my best friend Avah and greet her with a gentle smile and "goodmorning". She replies with "another rough morning, huh?' She knows me so well..."Just the same stupid dream again; Josh seems to always be on my mind. I don't know what to do anymore Avah." I almost scream this out loud but I keep my cool and keep it to a mild whisper.

   "You never even told me about this Josh guy until you started having this stupid dream." she stated, obviously irritated. After that comment we just sit in silence most of the bus ride to school, until Avah says "I'm your best friend, you're supposed to tell me everything." She looked hurt, but I knew she was right, why couldn't I tell her about Josh? My train of thought was broken when the bus door opened and all the students filed off the bus and into the school.

   School went by so incredibly slow, which didn't surprise me at all, it was the same everyday. Everyday I would get lost in thought of Josh. In my eyes he was so gorgeous, so stunning, just perfect. The problem is that Josh is 17, going on 18 in a few months. Why is this bad? beacause I am only 14. Most girls would go right for the older boy, but my parents would kill me and Avah would probably be dissapointed too.

    After the last bell of the day rang, signalling for us to go home, I jumped up and ran to the bus. When I got to the bus I was upset to see Avah sitting with someone else, which meant she was still angry with me. I just took a seat in the back by myself and listened to my ipod until it was time to get off.

   I ran upstairs, plop my bag on the floor, not even bothering to start on my homework. I pulled out my cellphone and called Avah, hoping she would answer. She finally answered after a few tries and before she could say anything I blurted out "I will tell you everything about the whole Josh thing." She said nothing so I knew it was my cue to continue explaining.

   "Okay, to start off, Josh is Angel's brother. I know it is wrong to have a thing for your friends brother, but he was the one who started tempting me and always texted me. He made me feel so good about myself, I just wanted him more and more-" Just then she cut me off, "Well, if he already likes you then what's the problem?" "He is older." I stated. "Like, how old?" She questioned me. After a long minute I finally stammered out the word "seventeen".

   "Well, actually he is going to be eighteen soon. That' why I didn't want to tell you because there would be no chance him and I would work out." I said into the phone.

We sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity until Avah finally announced she had to go eat dinner.

After I got off the phone, I took a long hot shower. Just when I was about to hop in he warm water, my phone buzzed. I picked it up to see I had one new message from Josh.

I hated and loved talking talking to him. I loved it because obviously he is everything I ever wanted, but I hated it because he just temps me and I can't have him.

Liking an older guy is just asking for trouble. He is going to be eighteen soon and just touching me could get him in trouble, but what he just told me says otherwise.

   I finally open the text message from Josh and as I read the screen, my jaw drops. The message reads, "Hey. Kacie I have been thinking about you a lot lately and what happened between us. Please text back or call me when you can. -J."

Alright, maybe I didn't tell you the full story of Josh and I.
