I woke up with the sound of that stupid alarm clock. Recaps of the previous night played like a movie in my head. I could't get the way his lips felt against mine out of my head, the way he treated me like I was the only girl in the world. After getting ready my phone buzzed, Jason: Goodmorning Beautiful ;) I could't help but blush, but one question I kept asking myself was why was he being so nice to me? I'm a nobody. I just replied with a quick Me: Goodmorning and headed down stairs to see that my mom already left for work. Grabbing my keys I headed out the door, it was so beautiful outside it was still Spring so the air smelled sweet and the sun was as bright as ever. When I finally reached the school parking lot I was nervous to see how the day would play out. Just act like nothing happend, be you. I never get nervous about school, it normally just flies by but something told me that today would be different. Getting out the car, I was thankful he wasn't here yet. My thoughts were interrupted by Riley hugging me, but she whispered in my ear "I need details" before pulling away giving me a smirk and acted like nothing happend. I just rolled my eyes she always reads into to much. Why can't she accept the fact that he is just my partner for a project? We started to walk in the doors when I heard someone holller my name. I knew the owner's voice I've heard it repeat in my head since last night. I just kept walking pulling Riley with me to my locker acting like nothing happend. "Why the hell did you ignore him" she asked in annoyance. I had to think of something so I looked at the time and seen we had 5 minutes before the bell rang signaling for homeroom. "I need to get my stuff before the bell rings" I said with a shrug. Opening my locker to get my books for homeroom and my 2nd period so I didn't have to come to my locker. I really didn't want to talk about last night I wanted to just forget everything, not saying it was bad I just need thing's to go back to the way they were so I don't get hurt in the end. "Wh-y did...you ruh-n?" gasped Jason from behind me. I don't know why I even thought I would be able to get to class without talking to him. "I'm sorry, I just didn't won't to be late for class" I stated, I hate lying but I couldn't let him know the real reason. I knew Riley didn't buy it she was still there with her arms crossed and a knowing look on her face. "Are you sure you weren't trying to ignore me?" he asked looking at the ground. God why did he have to be so hot, it's not a fair game. "No, of course not" right after I replied back to him, it looked like he wanted to say something but he fought against it. Right when he was about to speak the bell rang, sadness was brought to his face. "I'll see you in History" I said with a wave, before turning on my heels in the opposite direction. Maybe he was trying to tell me he regrets last night, and just wants to be friend's. Yea, that's it Ray time to face reality. It was like my emotions were shutting down, I didn't want to feel. All through homeroom Riley kept sending me sad looks, she must know I'm downing myself but I can't help it. All my life I've lived and seen heartache, disappointment, and hurt. After the bell rang for class change, I gathered my stuff and headed out the door. Someone grabbed my arm, turning I see Riley behind me. "I know you like him Ray, you can try to hide it from everyone but you can't hide it from me." she said with confidence " I don't know what your talking about" I said hoping she'd just go along with it but no not Riley. "Oh so everytime I see you it looks like your battling with yourself, when I see you look at him I see it in your eyes I know that look it's how I look at Daniel." by this time we were almost to my second class and I seen Jason waiting at the door. I didn't have time to argue with her about this, so what if I did like him nothing would change. I'm not gonna put myself in a position to get hurt again. When we reached the door of the class room Riley gave me a pointed look and turned to the direction of her next class. Shaking my head I turned to Jason, waiting for the words I've been preparing for. "Ray we need to talk about this" he said motioning his hand in the empty space between us. "What about this" I replied copying the same motion he did. "I really like you Ray, especially after last night, it just feels right" he said with a bright smile. I was honestly shocked by the word's that he just said. He like's me? like really like's me? Don't get your hopes up Ray he probally means as a friend. I went from smiling to frowning just at that one thought. He must've noticed because he gave me a questioning look. "Like as a friend?" I blushed but now's not the time to get embarressed I need to know this. "I can show you better than I could tell you" I was about to ask him what he ment but before I could his lips crashed on mine and the familiar butterflies irrupted in my stomach. It wasn't a long kiss but it didn't take away how great it was. He pulled away his hands still cupping my face, "Go on a date with me?" he asked but before I could reply the tardy bell rang great now we're going to be lat. We both looked at each other with a passionate look before walking through the classroom door. My mind couldn't fathom what just happend, he really likes me? and want's to take me on a date...I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. I like him but I can't be with a guy like him he deserves better. Class was finally over and Jason came up to me "So how about that date?" he asked smiling. "Jason, I can't you deserve a girl whose as good as you to go with. I'm a broken mess, I really like you to but I'm not the right girl for you" I frowned, a guy finally likes me and I'm pushing him away. What's wrong with you Ray? I mentally beat myself up. It's not like he's asking you to marry him he's just asking you out on a date. I kept battling with myself, well it's to late now. What he said next I wasn't expecting "Convince Me" I didn't understand what he needed convincing of. "What?" I asked dumbly, he just shook his hand grinning "Convince me that I deserve a girl better than you, convince me that your broken, convince me that your not the girl for me" He challendged. He want's me to convince him does he, well if he's to stubborn to just look in front of him I guess I'll have to show him. I nodded just as the bell rang turning to go to my next class. I need to think of a way to convince him.
