Love, as a teenager

The story...

This is the beginning of my story (Leighton Thomson). I am the king of the ladies and a fucking awesome leader; I tend to not like to listen to people or share how I feel but that's okay because life is just a dream that we are all in and nobody cares what you do unless your fucking famous.

You probably wanna know what I look like? (I look in the mirror) I have dark brown hair, blue eyes. I have a scar on my chest, it is pretty long. I don't feel like talking about that at the moment. Anyway.

I guess I will go back to cooking my ramen noodles.

~

I throw the ramen cup into the microwave and wait by the microwave. The microwave buzzes and I pull it out. I drink the broth first, set it on the countertop and go up the brown wooden stairs to the hallway. I walk and pass my moms room and my dads study. I walk into my room and look at the light blue walls with posters of girls all over them. I get in my dresser and pull out a white shirt and go to my closet and pull out my black leather jacket. (Totally badass)

I walk down the stairs and grab my ramen soup. I grab moms' note off the fridge and crumble it and throw it to the ground. I wait a couple seconds for the bus but begin to walk. I walk 5 blocks to school. I walk through the parking lot and begin to see crowds of kids getting off the bus. I walk pass the dumpster throwing my ramen into it not caring if it misses.

I blend in with the crowd and go through the school doors checking off the list in my head.

(Don't deal with peoples b.s..check, don't fall in love..check, don't talk to the stupid jocks and flirt with all the cheerleaders..check, ignore the principal..check, and lastly-)

I feel someone watching me, I turn and see a blonde headed overly cute girl...she just stares at me. I smirk at her and her cheeks turn red.

She walks up to me hands me her number and I look down at her making her bite her lip. I put her number in my back pocket and she smiles and walks away looking like a tomato.

I turn back around (and lastly...don't care.. Check)

I walk down the tile white hallway and look at all the people staring at me and talking by there lockers.

I finally got to my locker, I opened it getting out my iphone that I had left in there. (I have 2 phones, One phone is for school and one is for home) I plug in my headphones that are also in my locker and put them turning on my recent favorite song Blank Space by Taylor Swift.

I walked through the halls watching everyone go into there sprcific classes. I bobbed my head and ignored all the jocks that laughed and pointed at me.

I smiled because they are dumb enough to think that I care. I turn up the music feeling invincible, feeling like I was better than them because they lived boring bullshit lives and my life is fucking great!

I turn the corner and see the principal waiting for me. She gives her stern look and I follow her into her office. I sit in the same chair and look around the same old room. I turn my music down and nod my head at whatever she is talking about.

I watch her lips stop moving and her eyes look up. I turn around to see the front desk lady bringing in a girl. I take my headphones off and she stares at me, I turn back around in my seat.

"Can I leave now?" I ask Mrs. Apple(the principal

"This is the student I was talking about that you said you would show her around and be her buddy" Mrs. Apple said smiling happily.

I probably shouldn't of nodded but having a girl follow me can't be that bad. I stand up and put out my hand to the girl to show the principal my kindness to complete strangers. The girl smiled weakly and shook my hand.

"Now can WE go!?" I asked her

"Yes of course" Mrs. Apple said happily

I put my headphones back on and started walking back to my locker. I could feel the girl behind me making me feel annoyed for some reason.

I got to my locker and took off my headphones and set my Iphone in there. I turned around asking the girl her name.

"It's Margaret"

"Like what- some kind of candy or something?"I said

"No umm its my name"

"Right..." I said

"Whats yours?"

"Leighton" I said

"Like what- the tree?"

I smiled to myself

"So are you gonna follow me around all day or what?"

"I thought you were gonna show me around"

"And Why would I do that?"

"Because the principal said"

I smirked at her and walked closer to her.

"You think..I..would-help-someone like you?" I turned back around and started walking.

"Your a fucking douchebag!! You think your SO bad but your not cause your just like everyone else in this fucking stupid world"

I stopped and turned around, she looked at me in disgust and walked away swiftly. (Was she right?..am I a total douche? Yeah) I smiled to myself and started walking outside the school.

I sat on the bench and got out my notebook and my pencil from under the bench. I looked at the trees and grassy area and began drawing. I heard the bell ring and I packed my things back and went back in to go to lunch.

I walked through the quiet halls to walk into a very noisy lunchroom. I saw every talking and laughing. I scanned the room and Margaret was with the number one hottest, coolest, girl(Heather Saxton) in school that I happened to have a crush on that no one ever talked to because she would ignore you or get people to bully you because you talked to her.

My rules would have to break if I wanted to date Heather. I could feel my heart race just by thinking about her. I started walking to Margaret and planning out a plan in my head.

Margaret was talking to Heather when I came up behind her.

"Hey..Margaret"

She turned around, making Heather turn around.

"Hi, Loser..whoops I mean Leighton" She said sarcasticly

I grinned at her

"Listen..I am sorry"

"What? I can't hear you!"

"I am-"

"What?!"

I yelled " I am fucking sorry!"

She smiled and I could see now she was willing to talk.

"Have a seat" She patted the open bench area next to her

I sat down beside leaning by her ear.

"Could I ask you a favor" I could see her cheeks pinken when my breath hit her ear.

"Yeah, what is it" she whispered back slightly.

"Could you come to my house later to...help me with my homework"

"Lik-like a tutor?"

"Yeah?.." I said

"Okay, yeah just give me your address"

I gave her a wadded up piece of paper that I wasn't sure had my address on it.

I got up and got in line for lunch.

I walk in the door of the house and hear my mom and dad arguing in the kitchen. I close the door softly and run to my room. I lay on my bed, kick off my sneakers and grab my computer.
