Foster Kids

I wake up to Cherry shaking me gently. I look at the time and jump out of bed. I dressed in skinny jeans, a black long sleeve, and put my hair in a French braid with no makeup. I ran downstairs and saw Cherry eating at the table. I quickly sat down and ate the food my mom set in front of me.

-------------

I sat in the back with Cherry and Kalan and some of Cherrys friends. At one point Cherry got up and moved. I watched as Austin in a black v-neck and skinny jeans that sagged with black sunglasses and Asher wearing basketball shorts and a white tank top walk over to the row in front of us and sat down. Kalan looked at me and we giggled. Austin turned towards me. "Hey, ice cream?" He asked. I laughed and nodded my head. He smiled and turned around talking to Asher. Then it was Asher's turn. He turned around and looked at Kalan. "Hey, their going to get ice cream maybe we can spy on them?" He asked. She nodded her head smiling.

I try to make good grades, but it always seems that homework hates me. During English I felt a buzz from my back pocket. I pick it up and saw it was from Austin.

Austin: Hey how's English?

Me: Boring... As usual

Austin: Hahhaa lol of course

Me: how's math

Austin: IM SO CONFUSED!!

Me: HAHHAHA well I gtg Miss.Hemlock is giving me an evil look.

Austin: ok bye precious

Me: Bye

I walked out of school. I found Austin standing outside. He looked at me and smiled. Asher and Kalan stood a bit aways from us 'spying'. We looked at them and rolled our eyes. We started to walk to the ice cream store but first he wanted to go to his house.

His house wasn't huge, but WAY bigger then mine. He dragged me to his room and closed the door. He threw his bag in a corner and grabbed his wallet and put it in his back pocket. I just stood next to the door waiting. He put on a black hat and walked over to me and smiled. I looked into his deep blue eyes. How was I with him? How does he love me? I asked myself. He leaned in close, before he could kiss me I turned the doorknob and fell. He looked at me, I could see a little anger and confusion, at first I was scared that I made him angry but then he started to laugh and helped me up.

We held hands as we walked to the ice cream shop which was a couple blocks away. My hand got a little sweaty but I didn't care. I took off Austin's hat and put it on my head. I giggled as he tried to get it back but I kept moving it from hand to hand. Finally he grabbed it and put it on his head. We stood in front of the ice cream shop looking into each other's eyes. His eyes seemed to be a Milky Way of stars, his hair just beautiful, mouth perfect. Everything seemed to be perfect. When I looked at myself in the mirror I could find plenty flaws. I heard a familiar laugh from inside the ice cream shop. I looked through the window and saw Kalan and Asher.

I opened the door and grabbed Austin's hand and dragged him to the counter where there was ice cream machines, I got vanilla and chocolate an he got chocolate mint. We walked over to Kalan and Asher. "Hi." I said as I sat next to Asher. Kalan was mid laughing when I sat down and she stopped. "DANG IT!" She yelled. "ASHER YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT!!" He shrugged. Austin sat down across from me. We all burst out laughing.

We sat there talking about a new movie coming out called "Godzilla." My dad had said that the last one they made was a love story and they ruined it. I haven't watched the new one yet but from what I've heard, it sounded pretty good. "I mean dude," Asher said. "Its a giant lizard coming out of the water! Who wouldn't wanna see that?!?!" We all burst out laughing. It seemed as if time slowed down. I looked around enjoying the moment of happiness. Everyone laughing and talking. Finally we finished our Ice cream and talking. It was getting a little dark.

Austin walked me home. We didn't talk much. Walking in silence he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I squeezed his hand harder. He chuckled. In the dim light I could see his perfect white teeth. As I came to my front door he hugged me then gave me a light kiss. It felt as if I had melted in his arms. All the sudden my mom opened the door. "Who's this?" She asked in a sharp voice. We quickly pulled away. "He's- well um- he's a frie-" I stammered.

"I'm her boyfriend." Austin said. I blushed. My mom looked him up and down. She grabbed my arm and pulled me into the house slamming the door. "Go to bed. You have school in the morning." I ran upstairs.

I changed into my pajamas. Cherry walked out of the bathroom with a towel on her head. "Hi." She said with a smile. "Hi." I said back. "How'd it go?" I told her everything about my day. She laughed at when mom had opened the door on us.

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling replaying my day. OMGZZ I just remembered that Austin said he was my boyfriend. I fell asleep to the wonderful things that happened today.

I woke up, got dressed and ran downstairs. My usual routine.

At school I just couldn't wait to see Austin. I walked into the cafeteria and didn't see him. "Hey, Judy have you seen Austin?" I asked one of Austin's friends girlfriend. She shrugged. I walked over to Justin. "Have you seen Austin?" I asked. He pointed to the hall that some kids were still walking into from classes for lunch. "I saw him walk over there." I smiled. "Thanks." I walked towards the hall waving and smiling to some old friends. I smiled as I reared the corner. I couldn't wait to be in Austin's arms, feel his warmth, his pink, soft lips against mine. And now he was my boyfriend. The word kept replaying in my head. As I turned the corner my smile faded. He was with some blonde chick making out in the hall. "Austin?" My voice cracked. I choked back a sob. He looked at me. He started to stammer and making excuses. I shook my head as tears fell and ran away. I fell to the ground in a empty school room and sobbed. Everything went black.
