Falling for You ✓ (girlxgirl)

That morning I had taken my time getting ready as I chose a faded black Biggie Smalls shirt, a black denim skirt and opaque black tights with my black Doc Martens- it was a little darker than what I would normally wear but I was in the darker mood. I paired the outfit with a gold necklace of my name and tiny gold hopped earrings as I tied my hair in a low bun with a few short free curls at the base of my neck as I did my edges.

I was in the mood to look good, especially after the drama I'd been having. I said goodbye to my parent's as I grabbed my travel mug of tea and headed to my car. I turned on Summer Walkers album and as I drove to school, allowing my mind to drift off to a certain honey-colored eyed girl who gave me butterflies.

It seemed as though I manifested something into the universe because as I drove into the parking lot, parking in the first open spot close by and only once I had turned off my car, I realized that I was staring right at the front steps of school- the same steps where Haydn and her friends stood talking. Her hair was in a ponytail again and you could see her newly shaved undercut as she stood dressed in her signature dark aesthetic with a black shirt, dark-green flannel, black jeans ripped at the knees and black vans. She looked relaxed as she laughed at something her friend said and I felt my heart tug a little bit.

"Cris?" Roxanne asked tapping on my window and I jumped in shock- that was the last thing I expected to pull me back to reality. I quickly grab my tote bag and travel mug before hopping out the car and closing the door behind me. "Woah, nice outfit." She grinned and I shrugged with a small smile, I was actually glad she noticed.

"Hey, and thanks." I smiled as I gave her a hug and when I pulled back, I saw a frown of confusion on her face.

"What were you looking at like that?" She asked as we starting to head towards the building, and I laughed a little nervously.

"Oh nothing, I was just daydreaming." I smiled as I looped my arm through hers. "So, anything interesting to tell me?" I asked, praying she'd drop the subject.

"Well, I'm glad I ran into you actually, I have to talk to you about this party Aaron wants to throw on Friday after the game." She said as we walked up the stairs and I could feel my eyes briefly stray to Haydn's face, and when I saw her staring right back at me, I felt my face grow red as I quickly dropped my gaze.

"U-um, don't you think that's a little weird considering we don't know if we've won or lost?" I asked as we walked through the doors, and she laughed.

"Duh, that's the whole point- we get to party whether we win or lose." She said as we approached Logan and Blanca at their lockers which were, thankfully, close to mine.

"Are you guys talking about the same party as the whole football team?" Logan asked and I saw Blanca's eyes light up as I frowned.

"Party?" She mused.

"Football team?" I groaned.

"Yeah, Aaron wants to throw a party on Friday after the game," Roxanne replied to Blanca before turning to me. "And what's wrong with the football team?"

"Have you forgotten who's on the football team?" I asked and she shrugged. "Wesley is, and I really don't want to see him for at least another lifetime," I sighed as I put my tote bag in my locker and grabbed my biology books. My friends may have thought I was joking but after the last encounter I had with him I would be happy if I never had to see him again.

"Fuck Wesley!" Blanca huffed as she put her hands on my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes. "Don't allow him to ruin your social life." She said seriously and I rolled my eyes as the bell rang.

"I'll see you guys later." I smiled and Logan stopped me from leaving.

"Please Cris, we're going to have such a good time." She pleaded with her big, blue doe-eyes and I sighed in defeat, I could never say no to that face.
