"good morning west morris high school, i hope everyone is having a terrific thursday! tonight, we have our jv boys football game against the eagles! we'd love to see everyone in the bleachers to help cheer for our boys tonight-"

i zoned out of the announcements, like always. all morning, anthony and i have been talking. i just got a snapchat from him and i really want to open it.

snapchat from anthony.

i hid my phone on my lap under my desk, and opened his snapchat.

awww, how cute!

'r we still going to lunch cutie?' his picture read.

i felt my cheeks get hot, am i blushing over a snapchat?

i responded back, saying 'yeah ofc' with a picture of 1/2 my face.

i looked up from my phone to see ms. pierce staring at me, automatically, i rolled my eyes.

"phone please ms. kimberly." she said, holding out her hand.

i let out a sigh, "here."

i involuntarily placed my phone in her hand, and watched as she carried it back to her desk. she shoved it into the same drawer she did yesterday, and i couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"next time this happens, you're getting a detention." ms. pierce said aloud.

the whole class turned to look at me, thank you ms. pierce.

"yes ma'am." i sighed.

the whole rest of the class, i mentally told ms. pierce to shut the fuck up and give me my phone back.

only if she could read my mind.

(lunch)

as i walked down the main hallway to look for anthony, i felt a tap on my shoulder. i turned around, being faced with my best friend.

"are we eating in the cafeteria today?" alexis asked me.

oh fuck, i forgot to tell her about anthony.

"oh shit i forgot to tell you, i'm eating lunch with anthony today. the one from the football team." i responded.

i watched as her smile dropped, "you know that kid is like a huge fuck boy, right?"

i mentally rolled my eyes, "yeah, we're just friends though."

"since when?"

"for a while." i lied.

"oh, alright. i'll just go find ethan and grayson then."

"sounds good, bye alexis."

"bye cindy."

with that, alexis walked away. not even 5 seconds after, her presence was replaced by anthony's.

"you ready to go?" he asked me.

i smiled up at him, "yep. where are we eating?"

"my house, if that's okay with you."

oh. is this where the fuck boy part comes in?

"yeah, that's cool with me."

he led me out of the school and to his car, his car is extremely nice i must say.

"damn, this car is pretty sexy." i joked, earning a laugh from anthony.

"thank you, i payed for most of it. my dad helped me out a little bit, this car's my baby."

"what year is it?" i asked, getting into the passenger seat.

"2015. not the newest out there, but i love it so much. it means even more knowing that i payed for most of it." he answered, getting into the driver's seat.

he placed his keys in the cup holder, and pushed a button to make his car start. the words 'key detected' showed up on his dashboard, and i almost dropped my jaw in awe.

"damn, this car is 100x better than mine."

"what car do you have?"

"a super fancy and expensive 2010 toyota camry." i joked around.

i wish my car was fancy.

anthony laughed at my response, "hey if you can get from point A to point B in it, then you're set."

i nodded my head "you're right, i think i appreciate my car a little more now."

again, i earned a laugh from anthony.

for the rest of the ride to his house, we had simple conversations about stuff we hate and stuff we love. he's really funny, i was laughing at least 90% of the time in his car.

i don't know why everyone says he's so bad, i don't see it.

we walked up the steps to his house, a very nice house may i say.

"welcome to mi casa!" he said as he opened the door.

he held it open for me and let me walk in.

"we have chicken nuggets, hot pockets, left over pizza, chips, fruit, anything really. you name it, i hopefully have it."

"thank you, i think i'm gonna go for that left over pizza."

"that's what i was thinking! i'll grab us both 2 slices."

"sounds good to me."

"okay, you can sit on the couch and watch TV if you want, i'll handle the pizza."

i walked over to the couch and sat down in the middle, i looked up at the TV and saw that property brothers was on, i love this show!

i watched TV for like 5 minutes, before anthony walked in with our pizza.

"for you, my lady." he bowed and gave me my plate.

"thank you kid sir." i grabbed the plate and put it on the coffee table.

"what are we watching?" he asked.

"property brothers, if you don't like it i can change-"

"i love this show!" he interrupted me.

i laughed at his response, "property brother's it is."

after we watched TV and ate our pizza, we talked for a little bit about random stuff until it was time to go back to school.

the whole way back to school, we talked the whole time. it was never awkward with him, thank god. i don't understand why he has such a 'fuck boy' rep, maybe i don't get it because i don't know him well enough yet? i don't really know.

all i know is, anthony is really fun to be around. i think i want to hang out with him a lot more.
