That Drop of Rain

Just My New Normal

It was now Monday and Matt came to take me to school.
"Bye! Love you!" I told Mom, Dad, and Brian as I grabbed a piece of toast and headed out to Matt's white pickup truck.
"Hey. You ready?" he said.
"Hi and yes!" I said as he gave me a peck on the lips.
He pulled out of my neighborhood and headed to the school. When we arrived Coach Morris was standing at the front doors waiting on me.
"Good morning! Don't forget we practice today," she said.
"I won't. I have my gear right here." I held up my volleyball bag so she could see it.
"Good."
Matt and I headed to first period and since we never had assigned seats he sat right next to me instead of by his teammate. I smirked at him. He smirked back and I couldn't help but blush. We went throughout today before we both had to go to practice. They changed the football schedule for like the third time so now Matt had the same practice time as me. We had already worked out that he was going to take me home since he was already picking me up to take me to school.
    Just before we separated to go the gym and the football field, we both stopped and did that weird gaze. I still have no idea why we do that or if he feels the same way I do.
   "Do you know how cute you are when you blush?" he asked.
   "I didn't know I even blushed." I lied with a smirk. I was blushing now.
   We went our separate ways to practice and he took me home afterwards but something different happened this time.
