Forever

I Dont Wanna Leave

The next morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Great, another day at school. I mean, I loved going to see my friends and all I just hated the getting up and getting ready for school part. But as usual, I got up and changed. Normally I was too tired the night before to choose something to wear so I'd wear what ever I'd find the next morning.

As I walked upstairs, Natalia was already in the kitchen eating breakfast. That girl always woke up half an hour before me and sometimes didn't bother to wake me up when she did.

I walked over to the table, and sat down in the chair next to her. She was scrolling through her tablet on Instagram. Probably one of her biggest obsessions. I just looked at her as she didn't notice me sitting next to her. I thought of Giovanni again. I was still pissed off about what she had told me a few nights before. That boy was going to get a piece of my mind if I EVER saw him in the hallways. Okay, maybe not because I'm a chicken but if he does it again, I'm dead serious.

Natalia then looked up at me.

"Good morning butthead," she said. She looked at the time on her tablet them back at me. "We should start leaving in a few minutes."

I looked at the clock; 7:23. Only 2 minutes before we had to start walking to the bus stop, in which I really didn't want to. I was too tired.

I just grabbed my stuff and started heading out the door. I never bothered to eat breakfast because I was either too lazy or not even hungry. I waited at the door for Natalia as she also grabbed her backpack and walked towards the door.

We walked to the bus stop which was only a block away. Not very far. The mornings were really freaking cold, so it was impossible trying to keep warm as you walked and talked.

When we got there the usual people stood there, and most of them, I hated. Either a total asshole, a bitch, or just a slut (man slut too if possible).

The bus had arrived and picked us up. We drove all the way to the school, getting off the bus while saying bye to Brenda. When we got off, we entered the school and went to our lockers. I said bye to Natalia and then proceeded to my daily routine at school.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd period passed by, then E-time came. E-time was really the time of the school day where you could basically do whatever you want for 25 minutest depending what your grades were. I loved E-time for only one specific reason. The boy. Yes, him. The mysterious one. Hey don't pretend you haven't stalked a guy(or girl) before. I mean, you like them, you absolutely have to know more sometimes.

After the 25 minutes, I walked passed the two gyms, Gym A and Gym B. As I always walked by Gym B, I always saw him in there. Playing basketball with the other guys. Since I'd watched him more I always paid attention to his smile. So big and wide, and his eyes shined when he did.

I walked closer and closer to my fourth period class when I remembered I had science with him in that period. I always ended up there before him but it still made me crazy nervous when I saw him walk through the door. Sometimes he'd be there before me, as I could feel him watch me walk to my seat. I had sat only a little distance from him, giving him the opportunity to look at me almost at all times.

I always felt him, but it didn't really seem to bother me. No one had ever given me that much attention before.

I still remember the first time I saw him. I didn't know him at all the first time and it was hard to remember him at times.

I had come back from Christmas break in Mexico. The break was only 2 weeks long but I ended up not showing up for school in 2 months. I remember walking into 4th period, greeting the teacher, telling her I was back. As my teacher prepares my things for class, I hear faint whispering behind me.

"Pst. Dude, there she is." The voice seemed familiar so I turned around and looked. It was a old school friend from seventh grade, Josue. I hadn't seen him in a year or two. But then I looked at the one next to him. It was the kid. As I looked back at the teacher I could still see them from the corner of my eye.

Josue was quietly teasing the kid, and it was pretty obvious that I could see. I could feel myself turn red but get slightly confused. I didn't know if they were talking about me, or some other girl who walked into the classroom. I dunno.

So, skipping a little forward in time, I will skip to the part about finding out his name. Because I mean, I'm confusing myself with just using the words, 'the kid'.

One day i had walked into 4th period, the teacher had a new seating chart for us up on the board. I had looked around not to look for my name, but HIS name. There it was, Candido Escobedo. The name kinda had a ring to it, in my ears anyways. I liked it. A lot. What a unique name it was, I'd never heard it before, which made me love it even more.

I then looked for my name, and there I was, not at the same table as Candido but sitting across from him in a horizontal way. I had never been more happy in my life. Woo, lemmie tell you, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world to be able to sit your crush in school...

...Wait, did I say crush? Oh well yeah that's what I totally meant because I'm not going to lie, I Liked him. A LOT.

And now, back to the present. There we sat, working. As I could feel him watch me. Once In a while I would look up and watch him from the corner of my eye. He was totally watching. I'd even turn my head to look at him too, but he either had his head down, was working on his stuff, or was looking the opposite way.

The class period went by fast by I was only occupied by the distraction of someone staying at me.. So I didn't worry much about time in that class. Everyone got up as they started heading out the doors. I waited as I watched him walk out the door with Josue. They were laughing and smiling.. Oh I would do anything to hear a real live laugh.

As they walked down the hall, I walked the other way, walking away from them, heading to my next class.

I didn't want to leave that class. I loved it when he looked at me. No one had ever given me so much attention, in which, his staring only made me happier. (Shut up it's not creepy unless you really like the person.) I got sad as I walked down the hall. And looked down to the floor.

I had then remembered I still had another class with him. Math. Yes, I would still have a chance of seeing him one last time before I couldn't see him again until the next day.
