I plopped my bag down and sunk into my chair. My head was killing me, but it normally does after taking a test. Martins was crammed pack of kids, mostly because it was a Friday. Honestly. I didn't want to be here. I wanted to go home and sleep.
But then he walked in the room. And he shot me that puppy dog smile I love. And I had to smile back at him. Adam.
He plopped down in the chair next to me and banged his head against the table.
"What's your problem?" I asked, ruffling his hair up. Which he hates.
"Ugh. School. Life. Stuff. Hey, how's Landon doing at school? Is he good?" I shrugged my shoulders.
Landon is Adams cousin and he moved here in the beginning of the year. He was dating some girl named Alison from Berrin Springs, but I didn't really know her or Landon.
A shadow stops at our table and I look up to see who is standing in front of me. Lyle. Shock rushes through me, but I smother it.
He smirks and walks to a different table to sit by Alice. My heart nearly broke in 2, but I shrugged it off as best as I could.
"Hey... You ok, Kay?" Adam said, calling me by his favorite nickname. I didn't have enough time to answer because Chuck sat down to my left and my other friend Alana to his left.
Alana is an adorable blonde with cute, geeky glasses. She can play the guitar and is in choir. She is also in 8th grade with Adam, Chuck, Lyle and Alice. Alana cannot keep her mouth shut though.
I can feel someone staring at me, so I look up and around the room to find Alice glaring at me as she puts her hand on Lyles shoulder. I immediately put her on my 'Not My Favorite Person Ever' list while I groaned in disgust. I turned back around to see that Adam was looking at me with concern.
"I'm fine! Lets go get something to drink, I'm dying." I said, standing up and walking across the room and down the stairs to buy a Mountain Dew. The whole time, I felt another persons gaze. Lyles.
--------------------------
After buying myself the Mountain Dew, I sat back down at the table we were all at. Soon, Alana waved goodbye and have hugs. I quickly noticed her hug with Chuck seemed a little bit more than friendly. Interesting.
Chuck had to leave almost 5 minutes after Alana, but he didn't give any goodbye hugs, thank god.
I noticed that Alice was packing up her things and Lyle was doing the same. 'Are they going home together?' I asked myself.
Alice began to walk down stairs when Lyle said, "I'll be right there, I gotta do something." And what he did was walk right up to me, grab my Mountain Dew and chug it. I quickly began hyperventilating, seeing as how he was standing so close to me that I could smell him. And he smells awesome. Like freshly washed blankets and happiness...(I do not know.)
Lyle set the bottle of Mountain Dew down on the table and said, "See yah Katrina." and he walked off.
"God, what is his problem?" Adam asked, crossing his arms and sitting back in his seat. I couldn't answer him. I'm pretty sure my face looked like the emoji with hearts for eyes.
My heart was still pounding and memories of him and me began crashing back into my mind, replying like one of the songs I love do listen to.
All I could think about was how much I missed him and wanted him and needed him. I didn't even realize that Adam was still talking to me.
"What?" I asked him when I realized he was just staring at me and not speaking.
"Uh. Nothing." He mumbled.
My mom texted me, telling me she was out in the parking lot, so I grabbed my bag, gave Adam a hug and left.
