Morning....worst part of my day. I'm not a morning person at all but I'm trying my best to look for school so I won't look dead when i see Nate. The rumors where true....his eyes really capture you. I decided to stop at a coffee shop near our school before classes began. I am pleasantly surprised to see Nate there sitting by himself drinking coffee at a table, reading a book.I am too shy to go there and say hi to him,I don't even think he remembers me.
I was at the encounter when I hear someone calling my name.Is Nate.
-Oh,hei Emily!Nice to see a pretty face like yours here!Please,come stay with me.
-Hei Nate!Nice to see you again!Oh,I don't wanna interrupt your reading,I should probably go.
-No,it's okay,I wanna find out more about you.Um....if that's okay with you,of course.
-Oh...okay.So what do you wanna know?
-As much as possible.
-Well...I was born in New York and I have a little sister called Brianna....I've been travelling my hole life so i've never really had a lot of friends.I'm living with my dad because my mom died a few years ago in a car crash....
-I'm so sorry...if I knew I never would have asked.I didn't mean to upset you....
-Oh,don't worry,it's okay.You don't have anything to apologize for.His eyes were looking straight into mine and I swear I could feel my heart shaking.Now it's your turn to tell me about yourself.
-There's not a lot to know about me.I'm a single kid,living with both of my parents.I've never seen another country besides Canada in my hole life.....oh,and I also love reading and someday I wanna be a writer.After a few minutes of starring at each other he finnaly asks me somtething unexpected.Emily...tell me something about you than nobody knows.
-Nate....I...I can't right now.You are really nice and I enjoy spending time with you but I am not ready to tell my deepest secrets yet....they are too important for me right now and i wanna hold on to them for the moment.
-It's okay Emily.I don't wanna push you into doing something you don't want to.We have plenty of time to get to know each other better.
After that we kept talking and talking until it was time to get back to the real world.I was pretty excited not to have to walk alone on the halls but I didn't know it would bring so much attention to me.I felt like everyone was watching me and Nate but he didn't even notice.He was just looking and smiling at me all the way to the classroom.
Of course,Nate and I were the only ones paying attention to the teacher while everyone else was laughing, I actually did really enjoy sharing my opinions with during the class.After it was over,i was completely surprised when Veronica approached me and invited me to lunch with Jakson,Hayley and her.I wasn't really excited when I heard the name Jakson because he still kind of freaks me out.
We all went to a small restaurant nearby called Conner's.It's not extravagant or anything,but they all agreed the food was really good.They were all so quiet and looking at each other I could swear they were planning something out.
-Do you wanna come to the party tonight,Emily?says Jakson staring at me waiting patienly for my response.
-Um...I don't know...I'm not really in the mood.
-Oh,you have to come!Everyone is gonna be there!I'll be there so we could hang out together....and a little smirk shows up on my face showing his sweet dimples.
-I'll think about it,okay?
-Sure...
We kept eating and talking and once in a while I could swear Jakson and I were just looking at each other so profoundly that it seemed like we could read each other's minds.His eyes are so intriguing to me...it seems like a hole ocean of feelings is hiding behind them waiting to be descovered.
-Why did you move here?asked Hayley with a mean voice.She is looking really interested but i don't really know why.I've never spoken to her before so I don't know why she cares if I'm here.
-I move a lot...my dad found a job here...I tried to fake a smile but I don't think it worket....she was still looking at me really intense.
-You can go back from where you came from than.....she whispered into Jakson's ear and they both started laughing.
After than humiliating joke I just took my purse and left.When I reached the door I heard Veronica right behind me screaming:
-Emily,don't leave!Don't listen to them!It was too late...I was already out the door.
The bad part is that we were brought here by Jakson's car and my home it's 20 minutes away from here...I don't know what I'm gonna do...I started walking and after a few minutes I hear a car honking behind me...it's Jakson.Great....that's what I needed right now...
-Bradshaw!What are you doing here by yourself?Obviously he knew the answer but he wanted to hear me say it.
-Oh,give me a break Jakson....
-Come on,Emily...I just wanna give you a ride home!and his qute dimples show up again.
-After you laughed at me like that....no thanks.and I kept walking but he kept following me.
-I'm not gonna leave until you get in the car,Bradshaw!
-Fine...and I got in the car.He kept looking and smiling at me all the way and my madness disappeared bit by bit.
We finally got to my house.When I opened the door to get out of the car I felt a hand pulling me back.
-I'm sorry I laughed at you,Emily.
-Well that's too bad,Jakson.And then I got inside the house.
