Meeting Him

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" That was the sound of my alarm going off because it was 9:30!!!! School started 1 hour ago!!!!! I jumped out of bed and bolted to my private mall. I hurried to Guess and took black, leather, skinny-jeans, a gray see-through top that was longer in the back, and black high heels. Then, I ran to Forever 21 and grabbed a black, leather jacket, 2 bracelets I found, and a gold, heart locket. I threw it all on, combed my hair (it was already wavy so I didn't need to do it), brushed my teeth, and wobbled towards Tom. I couldn't run because I was wearing heels. Tom drove as fast as he could but I got to school at 10:00! Mrs. Davis was outside giving detention slips to 3 girls who were late and I was next. "Good morning, Mrs. Davis! Sorry I'm late", I tried to say in a cheery way but she still glared at me and thrust a detention slip in my hand.

I slipped into Mr. Carls history class and took a seat. " Nice of you to join us, Miss Diamonds", he said without looking up. "At least I made it", I muttered under my breath. "Well, we already picked partners for a new project and the only person left is Mister Adam, over there", he pointed to a boy with beautiful hazel eyes, brown hair, kind of lean, tall, skinny and the most breathtaking smile. He seems like the type of guy who would be the first one to be chosen. "I came in 5 min. before you did", he explained and I nodded and went to sit next to him. " Okay, discuss with your partners of what I talked about", Mr. Carls said. "Hey", I said and flashed Adam a smile. He smiled back and said, " I'm Adam." "Britney", I replied. "I know who you are. You're the most popular girl in the school", he said. " So I've heard", I said and he laughed. "Well, you probably don't know me because I'm considered a nerd but I've got bad news for you. I know you make the smartest kids in the class do your work but I'm a math and science kind of guy. I suck at history, so you don't want me to do all the work", he said, embarrassed. " So what the hell are we going to do? My only good subjects are being a bitch and looking good while doing it", I said and it was my turn to look embarrassed. "Yeah, I've heard of all the things you've done. You're pretty messed up. Why do you do those things?", he asked me and for some reason I felt like I had a connection with him. Like I could talk to him and say the truth. So I said, " I honestly don't know. Lately I've been feeling like I want to change." Adam took my hand and said," We'll talk later. In the meantime, what are we going to do about the project?" " You're the nerd! What do you suggest?", I asked. "Well the only thing we can do is hit the books", he said and I groaned. "You can come to my place then", I said and gave him my number. We stared at each other, smiling when I heard Mr. Carls ask, " What's your plan, Mister Adam and Miss Diamonds?" "Well, um-like-uh", I stammered and looked at Adam for help. He quickly understood and said, "Sir, we weren't here when you explained what we were doing." Mr. Carl smiled coldly and said," Then, I'll have to explain during detention." "Yes,Sir", Adam and I said at the same time, then laughed. I just LOVE this guy.

I think I pretty much floated through the rest of the day. To be honest, I couldn't wait until I got to see Adam again. The time finally came for detention and I bounced into where Mr. Carl and Adam were waiting for me. "Hello again", I said to both of them and sat down on the chair next to Adam. Mr. Carl spent like an hour explaining our assignment which was to write a report on the Civil War and then build something representing it. I was falling asleep and getting exhausted just thinking about what we had to do. "Understand?", my teacher asked and both of us nodded. "Good", he said," because for the next 3 hours you guys are going to organize my Civil War documents." I pouted and looked at Adam who was clearly amused by me. As soon as Mr. Carl walked out, I stood up and stretched. "Let's get to work", Adam said and guided me to the Civil War documents. Wow! There was a WHOLE WALL! We were never going to finish. My mouth dropped like 2 inches and Adam laughed. "Might as well make the most of it", Adam said and pulled his phone out. "What kind of music do you like?", I asked him while I looked through some documents. " I usually listen to the Today's Hits on Pandora", he said. "OMG! Me too", I shrieked and he covered his ears. "Damn, girl you got some lungs", he said and we both laughed. The moment got even better when Summer by Calvin Harris came out. Adam whooped and I laughed. So while we sorted the papers we sang along to all the songs. I seriously hadn't had so much fun in a long time. We almost had half of the wall done when A Thousand Years by Cristina Perri started. We stopped and he gave me his hand and bowed I smiled and took it. He pulled me and put his hand on my waist and I put my hand on his shoulder and we danced until the song ended. "You're such a good dancer", he said, impressed. "I never knew", I said. He was right! I was really good. An hour later, the wall was finished and we didn't have anything else to do so, we decided to have a Flappy Bird Challenge. I was HORRIBLE at Flappy Bird and so was Adam, which made it even funner. Our highest score was 12! " Dude, you got to be kidding! You suck!", I said and laughed. He snorted. "You're not much better", he pointed out. Just as I was about to reach 15, I got a call. "Hellooo", I answered. "Hey Brit. Where you at?", Asher asked. "Detention, Ash", I replied,"why?" "What'd you do?", he chuckled. "I was late", I said because it wasn't a big deal. " Which room? I'mma visit you", he said. "23", I said and we hung up. "What's up?", Adam asked and looked up from his Flappy Bird game. "Nothin", I said casually. Then the door opened and in came Ash. " Hey Babe", he said and came over to put his hand around my waist, pulled me in and kissed me. Adam cleared his throat and I pulled away. "Adam, this is my boyfriend, Asher. Asher, this is Adam", I introduced them to each other and then turned to Ash. " What's wrong, Asher?", I asked him. "Kim's dad was fired from his job", he said. "Ha! Revenge is sweet", I smiled. Asher laughed and then pulled me in again. " I have to go, but I'll call you later,k?", he said and I nodded. Asher left and I turned to Adam. " Wow. Man of few words,huh?", he asked. I laughed and said, " Sadly."

Detention was finally over! I hugged Adam and said, "Call me about the project,okay?" "Sure", he said and waved. I think Adam is the "him". And I'm so freakin glad I met him. I'll probably dream about him for the rest of my life!
