Song: Tearing me up by Bob Moses

***********************************************************************************************

Sophie's Pov. 

After Mr. Conrad had dropped me off, I had ran into my empty home and let out an ear piercing squeal. My mom had still been out and she called me to let me know that she had forgotten to get the butter and had to turn back around. 

Good thing that I had gone with Mr. Conrad. Otherwise, I would have had to wait for her forever. 

I had gone to sleep that night with a smile on my face and for some reason, I wanted to slap myself silly for smiling. I shouldn't have been smiling about my encounter with Mr. Conrad, but then again. 

He was a hard person to shake from my mind.

"What is happening?" I whisper to myself. I wanted to just scream into my pillow. Why on earth would Mr. Conrad offer to drive me home when I clearly could have just taken an Uber home? 

The weirdest part is that the whole ride home wasn't that awkward at all. 

I woke up with these thoughts racing my mind and got up to get ready for school. As much as I wanted to play things cool, I had known that I would eventually freak out. Talking to Mr. Conrad at the cafe was one thing, but riding in his car was a whole other thing. 

I text Lacey and Megan in our group chat. 

Me: Hey guys! Who wants to be my ride since I can't drive at the moment?

Lacey: Nick and I can pick you up. :)

Me: Thanks girly ;) 

Megan: I'll already be at the school. Remind me at lunch to tell you some juicy details about Lacey... 

Lacey: Um, no. I think that Sophie already knows anyway so it's fine.

Me: Knows what?

Megan: That Lacey had smooched faces with Dylan, again.

Me: WHAT! Yeah, I'll remind you... ;)

Lacey: Guys... 

I decide to wear my hair down. Today was one of my cuter casual days. I had on a cream-colored knitted swear with grey velveted material jogger pants and cream colored converse to match. I brush my slightly wavy hair and part it off to the side. 

I rush downstairs once Lacey texts me that they're here. Once I get into the car, we go off to school. My stomach churned just thinking about a particular teacher. 

"We're matching cozy- sweater buddies!" Lacey says and I just realize that we're both wearing knitted sweaters. Hers was the color grey though. 

We both see Megan and I run up to her to pounce onto her back. Lacey smiles as she takes in Megan's outfit. 

A cozy sweater.

"Yes! We didn't even plan this." Lacey says while laughing. 

"I guess I didn't get the memo." I see Dylan walking up to us and more specifically, he playfully pinches Lacey's cheek. She swats him away with a glare and I look at the two of them. Nick shares a look with me and I smile secretively. 

Dylan so had a crush on her. A very bad one. 

We walk into our first-period class and Nick parts his ways. Apparently, Cole wasn't in class today. Maybe this would be a drama-free class after all.
