High School ~C.P~ (editing)

Chapter 3

The next day I woke up excited for school. Wow shocker. I was hoping I would get to see Cole at least once today.

Most of the day I didn't see him and my heart hurt. What if he didn't want to talk to me? What if he regretted kissing me? What if he switches lab partners? I stared at the clock. It was almost lunch time..I couldn't wait I was starving.

The bell finally rang and I was on my way to lunch. I met Aria at our usual table and quickly sat down. "I have to tell you so much" I blurted out. She raised her eyebrow interested. "Go on.." She said. I explained to her everything that happens with Cole and I and she burst into excitement.

"Oh my god! Do you realize how popular you will be!" She squealed.

"I don't want to be popular..attention isn't my thing." I said shrugging. I noticed her eyes trailing off to someone behind me. My stomach began to knot.

I noticed Cole walk past the table..but he didn't say hi. I was kind of hurt..maybe he did care about popularity more than I thought. "Let's get lunch" Aria said pulling me towards the line. As we passed the lunch tables someone grabbed my arm. I whipped around to see Coles smiling face.

"Hi Cole" I smiled. I looked around, everyone at his table was whispering and starring at me it was extremely awkward.

"Cole what are you doing" Maggie laughed. I felt my cheeks getting hot. Maggie was the most popular (and the most bitchy) girl in school. Apparently her family is a bunch of Swedish models. She flipped her blonde shiny hair off her shoulder waiting for Coles response.

"Talking to my..friend" Cole replied confused.

"Cole sweetie maybe you should makes some other friends" Maggie said. Everyone at the table laughed.

I rolled my eyes. She's such a bitch. "Why what's wrong with Bri" Cole said angrily. "Cole..look at her she's pathetic" Maggie said crossing her arms. I looked down at my shoes, I felt worthless. The whole lunch room seemed amused by Maggie's comments.

"Just leave her alone" Aria said stepping forward. "Aria get your head out of your ass, you know people like you can't be seen with people like us. I mean look at yourselves." I looked at Cole waiting for him to say something. He was looking nervously at him hands.

I felt my eyes fill up with tears. I ran out of the lunch room and into the girls bathroom going to the biggest stall and locking the door. I sat down on the floor and leaned my head against the door, pulling my knees into my chest and letting the hot tears stream down my face.

The bell finally rang and I realized I didn't bring my backpack with me to the bathroom. When I went to the lunchroom it wasn't there. I prayed Aria would have it as I entered my World History class.

"Do you have my backpack?" I whispered to Aria. She shook her head. I looked around the room (like that was any help). Where could it be?

I didn't pay attention to anything that happened in the class I was worried someone had taken my backpack. Not only did it have all my notes for most of my classes, my phone and laptop were in it to.

Once the bell rang I started walking down to the main office to ask if they have seen it. "Bri wait up!" Cole called. I didn't stop walking. "Bri!" He called again. Just pretend you don't hear him, I told myself.

"Forgetting something?" He said. I stopped in the middle of the staircase and turned around. Their he was holding up my backpack with a huge smile on his face. I rolled my eyes and took my bag.

"So I was thinking..maybe we could hangout tomorrow" he said following me.

"Are you serious?" I said angrily.

He looked around like he didn't know I was talking to him.

"You think you can just save the day by finding my backpack and then everything will be fine?!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry about Maggie..I know she isn't the nicest person ever." He said putting his hand on my shoulder.

I glanced at his hand still rested on my shoulder. Their was that weird comfortable silence again.

Without even thinking I kissed Cole. It was a soft slow kiss and it felt so right. All my worries washed away.

"I..um..wasn't expecting that" Cole smiled biting his lip.

"Me neither" I honesty replied. I turned and walked quickly towards the nearest exit. "So what about tomorrow?" Cole said trying to walk at the same pace as me.

"I'll think about it" I smirked walking towards my house.
