Everytime It Rings

Two

    As I walk the high school halls the taunts start early. It's May 2nd it's a warm Tuesday morning. Only 29 more days till I can see Sammy. I walk up to my locker turn my combination in. As I grab my books and close it I am startled by Mr. Miles. "Oh...Hi Mr. Miles..." I said.   

    "Hello, Emily..." He said. "Uhm...so did I do something? Or do you need something?" I said confusedly. 

    "Well, you see I after reading the Fictional Writing Essay I've seen you have a real talent. Maybe you'd like to sign up for the 1000 word contest?" He asked me. The thought of it sounded nice, but maybe not for me?

    "Thanks, Mr. Miles I'll think about it for sure..." I said. "Ok! Glad to hear if you need more information just ask I've got sign up sheets outside my room. Hope to see your name on it!" He said smiling.

    I smiled back and he walked off. As I walked to my first period Honors Geometry I saw a new guy. He looked very shy and kinda scared. He was very handsome, he had dark brown hair, the bluest ocean eyes I had ever seen. He stood at maybe 5'8, he had a grey backpack he gripped the strap he had over his one right shoulder.

    I thought I'd approach him as I did, Jessica came up walking her bitchy strut. As I was close to the boy Jessica came up behind me and tripped me. I fell to the ground my books scattering the floor. "Aw sorry peasant. Get your head out your ass and maybe you can watch where you're going!" She said kicking my books across the floor.

    As the book slid it hit the new boy's foot. He looked over at me without hesitation he rushed to help me up. "Hey let me help you!" He said in his broad voice. He held his hand out and I took it. He grabbed my books and kindly handed them back.

    I looked up at him his eyes glistened in the lights. As I got up I couldn't take my eyes off of him. "You took a nasty fall...you ok?" He asked me nicely. "Yea...Thanks..." I said smiling. He blushed, his softly tanned cheeks lit up ever so slightly.

    "I-I'm Brent..." He said. My heart fell his name like a fairytale. "I'm Emily... nice to meet you..." "You too, this may be a little forward but...you're very pretty..." He said smiling. "T-thanks...you're too" He looked confused. "Handsome I mean..." I said laughing.

    My mind saying shut up Emily he thinks you're cute don't be awkward. "I see by your books you must have Honors Geometry first?" He asked. I nodded he carried my books and we proceeded to class.

    When we entered we were the first ones there. We sat down next to each other and talked a little bit. "As this conversation has been so enlightening may I ask for your phone number?" I smiled and grabbed my phone and we traded.

     Even though my mess of a self, he still managed to not take his eyes off me. Which was really cute and he would smile and blush all the time. This guy was really sweet and really cute. Maybe my crappy life is having an upside?
