I'll Take Care Of You

Chapter 2

            I woke an hour earlier than my usual 7:00a.m.; too excited to get to school. I decided it would be a great idea to clean up and look a little cuter than usual, you know, so I can work my magic. So I took a quick shower then went to pick out what to wear. It took me about twenty minutes to pick something out, because there was nothing good to wear.  I ended up settling for these nice blue jean shorts, that weren't too short -they were barely past my fingertips-, a cute pink tank top, and a nice pair of black strappy sandals. I looked at the time and decided that I had enough time to do my hair. This hair is the hardest thing to work with, because it’s so thick and long. I ended up putting it in a side braid pony tail.

             Time passed and it was finally time to head off to school. I sprayed my favorite body spray, grabbed my keys, and then drove off to get Catherine. We arrived at school with ten minutes to spare. Cat and I walked to our first class when we saw a familiar figure standing outside the classroom. As we got closer, I could smell the Axe spray that was forever in my memory since the first time I smelled it.

            I saw Catherine out of the corner of my eyes, with a wide smile on her face. Ash was standing there waiting for us. He was just as I had remembered him. His outfit today made him look like a model: red and black plaid shirt, black jeans, and black converse sneakers. He took my breath away. The warning bell rang, making me come back to reality. His half smile when we approached caused me to blush a little. He was so hot.

            "Hey ladies." he said, smiling at Catherine then looking quickly to me. My gaze was lost in his eyes. They were a beautiful hazel color.

             I felt Cat elbow me in the side when I did not say anything back. The blush returned. "Hey." I finally said.

            "Well," said Cat, "I'm going to head in there, see yah in a sec." I nodded to her then looked back at Ashton.

            "Aren't you going to be late for class?" I asked him moving closer to the inside of the room.

            "No, because this is my class." He nodded to my first period class.

            "Really?!" I asked; trying to not sound too excited.

            "Yah," he replied, "They messed my schedule up, and so they moved me here." This answer made the butterflies come back. He was in my first and last class? Can this day get any better?

            I looked at the time, only a minute left. "We should probably head inside. Mrs. Hawk gets pretty strict when it comes to being late."

            He nodded and said, "After you." I walked past him, heading to my seat next to Cat, while he took the empty seat on my left. I peered over at Cat, smiled, and then looked forward as the final bell rang.

            English class was pretty relaxing today. All we were doing was watching William Shakespeare's, Hamlet, which was pretty boring. I started doodling on a piece of notebook paper when I saw a hand slide on to the left side of my desk, and then disappear. In its place was a note. I peered over at Ash confused, and he mouthed the words, "Open it." I looked down at the note again and unfolded it. My heart skipped a beat at what it said
