Success, Everything Is Only Matter Of Others Liking You

Chapter Four

I shut down the alarm clock lazily and groan. School? Again? What day is it? Wednesday. Great (note sarcasm). I sit up and scratch my arms and legs. I get up and take out from my wardrobe the same blue jeans I had yesterday and a blue button up shirt with a white tank top. I put it on along with a panties, bra and white socks with little Snoopy's on the sides. Whta? I love this kind of cartoon characters ...

I run downstairs while tucking up the sleeves to my elbows leaving it unbuttoned. "Hey mum." I kiss her cheek. "Will April be here when I come from school?" I ask and sit down on my place. I take the bowl with cereals eating it.

"No. We will pick you up and ride for her on the train stadion. Grandma will come over for a week or so ..." I almost choke at the news.

"Granny will be here?!" I can't believe it. "Yay! Can't wait!" I almost shout all excited. I haven't seen her for what ... A year? But it is weir ... as far as I remember she never have been here we always went over to her place, why now?

"Why are you frowning? I though you would be glad." Mum asks me handing me my snack box.

"Why is she coming here? We always went there to see her. What is happening?" I don't understand ...

"Nothing." She turns away so we are not facing. "Sometimes things happen without a reason." No, mum never tells me this, she always say: nothing happens without a reason. So what is happening? - again. "Go get ready. Dad is gonna take you to school." She sends me upstairs and so I go, but it is weird.

I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. Then I put on a bit mascara and eyeliner. I apply a little pink lipstick on my lips and I am ready to go. I grab the bag from my desk and go back downstair. Man, I tell you I walk the stairs so many times every day!

Dad gets stands up from the dinning table and takes his things and keys from car. I take on my black converse and black jacket. Man, I will tell you one more thing: I love fashion and I do have like converse and every peace of cloth like of every color and style and ... just everything. I dunno if it isn't stupid but I put most of my money into clothes. I don't need really money because anything like phone or books or whatever my parents buy me, so I can spend my own money on fashion.

I get in the black Audi on the passenger seat. Yeah an Audi. Well my dad has a good job so we are not poor but neither billioners, we are just little upper than the line indicating ordinary.

He droves me to me school. I get out after giving him a kiss on the cheek and stand. Just stand. I stand there looking at the large, not high but just large, building called my school. It is not that I would be glad that I changed school or I would be reconciled with this change - no, I just can't change it so why even bother with it?

I take a deep breath and step forward the building. I push the huge door and go to my locker. I take the textbooks that I need. I am about to lock it and go away when I just remember. I take my timetable and stick it with a Sellotape on the inside of the locker. I have made two more yesterday, one I left on my desk and the another one I have in my pencil case.

I want to close the locker and "Hey." I jump, the sound startled me. I shut the locker close and there stands Lars, the million dollar smile on his face.

"You scared me. And hi." I say with my right hand on my chest where the heart is, I still feel it beating more than usually in my ribcage.

"Where do you need to go now Winter?" What?

"I need to classroom 8C and my name isn't Winter but Summer." I remind him. Like is it so hard to remember someone's name?

"Okay let's go." He takes my hand and leads in the right direction. His hold isn't hard, just enough for me to not lost him in this ... It is not exactly crowd, but you know what I mean. "And I know that your name is Summer and that's why I called you Winter." Am I the only one who still didn't get it?

"Wait, I still don't get it." He stops dead in his track and turns around so I almost bump into him. I smell his scent and it smells so good. I am already in love with the cologne that he uses.

"Do you know what is irony?" Oh ... well fuck.

"I have a little problem with that. I don't get it really often." And that's pretty bad because in this age ... people don't talk mostly other way than ironical.

He grins ant me and says "I see." He turns around and grabs my hand again just a bit harder but it's okay. "How many classes do you have today?" He asks me.

I search in my memory. "I think six? You?"

"Five pause two officially, but the professor always starts with us layer and then go without the little ten-minute pause. I don't know why he doesn't start with us earlier and don't let us go home earlier."

"Oh ..." I don't know what else to say?

"Here we are." He announces when we stand in front of a door. I look in and recognize the anomaly - my class. "We have still ..." He looks at his watches on his wrist "... five minutes so what do you want to talk about?" He smiles again and my knees feel like jello.

"Um ... okay let's get to know each other?" I ask and he nods. We sit on a bench which is here in not so crowded corridor. "I first?" He nods again. "So name. My is Summer Croix and yours is Larson Brown."

"Yeah ... I am from 6M and you are from 5U." I nod.

"I am ... I don't know any more informations about you." He shakes his head but still smiles.

"I am 17 years old, you?"

"I am almost 16."

"Where do you live?"

"My momma taught me not to give any informations to strangers."

"But you already did." He points out.

"Yeah but my name or age don't leads you to my house like my adress, what if somebody murders me tonight? Then I would know who it was ..." He laughs. The sound is like angel's music to my ears.

"Maybe you can't use irony but you can use humor good for sure." He looks me in the eyes. I could looks into his chocolate brown eyes for ages and still never get enough.

"Thanks." I smile and blushing look down in my lap. "I think you should get going or you will be late." I say.

"Okay." He gets up and walks away, but before he turns the corner he waves me and flashes me the one of his million dollar smiles.

I walk in the class - zoo. I sit on my place and greet Margaret. I take out my new notebook and pencil case. The bell rings, but that doesn't matter the people around still continue in their talks like nothing happened. Only when the door shuts loudly announcing the professor's they go silent and sit on their places.

"Good morning students. I have heard that a new student is here ... Ms. Cross?" Everybody looks at me.

"Krua." I get up and walk over to the black board. I only hope this will be better than he last time with the "two hearts in human body".

Author's Note

Yay! So double update today? Please help me I want to change Lars' surname from Walker to Brown or Long, which one is better? (I know both is hilarious.) Also the pic of Lars on the side and pic of Summer on the side of second chapter.

Is everything going well? Are they a cute couple? They might seem as a perfect couple but who knows me well already knows that they won't have this kind of lovey-dovey love story ... if they even will have any.

What do you think of Grandma coming? Why? Are you waiting for little April?

I had this idea to make a plan of this school because I actually describe it as my school and because it is so complicated I thought I could draw it? Like the house? In next chapter there will be an outfit of hers. *wink* *wink*
