Breath Taking Love

Chapter 2

I sat down in my seat and set my stuff down on my desk. Kristy was in this class also and she sat right next to me. All the kids were talking. "Ok class, settle down. We know there is a new English teacher and you will all meet him in English class. The new English teacher is Mr. Somerhalder." Said our history teacher, Mr Berg. "OMG!!!!! HE IS SO HOT RIGHT!!??" Kristy said in a really excited voice. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. "What? He is hot right?" She said. "Um, Miss Johansen? We don't talk about our teachers like that." Me Berg said. "Sorry. Just saying." Kristy said.

"Well class. Today we are gonna do a fun little project that's worth a lot of points. We are gonna pick one place in the world we want to go to and we have to write about it, make a poster of it and get 10 photos of that place. Poster must have detail, quality, neatness and color. This project is gonna be worth 50 points. You get to choose your partner for this. This project is due in exactly three weeks. So get started." Mr. Berg said.

"Wanna be partners?" Kristy said. "Sure, why not." I said. "So where should we go to? How about Hawaii!?" Kristy said. "How about Transylvania? That place is where Dracula came from. And that place seems really interesting also." I said. "Sure, why not?" Kristy said. She pulled out her laptop and googled Transylvania. A bunch of stuff about Dracula came up. Kristy clicked on one of the websites. "Did you know Dracula impaled people? That's just sick." Kristy said. "I knew that already." I said. "Well if you know so much about Dracula, then why don't you do the whole project?" Said Kristy. "Because I don't know everything about him." I said. "Whatever. You are so complicated." Kristy said. "I know that already. Tell me something that I don't know about myself." I said. "I don't think I can." Kristy said. "Yeah, no one can understand me like us two can." I said. "

"What if you fall deeply in love with a guy that understands everything about you?" Kristy said. "Puh-lease!" I said. "This is the time where girls fall deeply in love with guys Lexi." Kristy said. "Love doesn't exist at this age, love doesn't exist at any age....love just doesn't exist period." I said. "You just don't believe in love since you have never experienced love before. But once you are in love everything seems to fade, and the only thing not fading is your love. You just don't understand Lexi." Kristy said. "I will never believe in love and you know hat Kristy!? So stop trying to make me believe in love!" I said. "Well when you do experience love and fall deeply in love with that special someone I am gonna say I told you so." Kristy said. "Well it ain't gonna happen Kristy and we both know that?" I said. "You don't know that.....as a matter of fact I can tell you that you are gonna fall in love today and you are probably gonna just try to push love away like it's no big deal but it is a big deal......it is not a meaningless thing......it is one of the best things that's gonna happen to us." Kristy said.

"Why are you trying to push me into his whole love thing anyways?!" I said. "You know what!? If you are gonna act like love is just a meaningless thing then something is wrong with you." Kristy said.

The bell rang for second period. Kristy grabbed her stuff and rushed quickly out of the classroom. I grabbed my stuff and quickly got out of the classroom also. I was gonna go after Kristy but she was no where on sight. I just walked to my locker, odd the combo, put my history notebook and my history book in my locker, got my biology book and my notebook out of my locker and shut my locker. I rushed to biology class. Once I arrived I quickly sat in my desk. The teacher Mrs. Ruxenburg was taking attendance.

"Miss Johansen?" Mrs Ruxenburg said. There was a pause. "No Miss Johansen. She will be marked as absent then." She said. I looked over at Kristy's spot. She wasn't there. Huh. Weird. She was here just a minute ago. I raised my hand. "Yes Alexis?" Said Mrs. Ruxenburg. "Um.....can I go to the bathroom?" I asked. I put my hand down. "Yes. Make it quick. You don't want to miss out on my fun class." She said.
