Love Next Door

chapter 3

Mama, just killed a man

Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger, now he's de-

And with that I hit snooze.

6:20am. Damn whoever thought school should start this early.

Groaning I rolled out of my beautiful warm bed. Forty minutes later I stood in front of my full body mirror.Today I decided on a pair of black flats and skinny jeans, a white shirt and a comfy cardigan in rose. (outfit at the top). I usually don't use any makeup besides mascara and concealer.

I quickly walked down the stairs to see mom and Liam eating breakfast, Liam read like usual some business magazine. I don't know he's a weird eight years old.

-------- time skip ------------------------------

'Did you hear there's a new guy? I think he's in my chemistry class.'

I froze as the memories of yesterday came back and cringed. Of course this is a small town, news travel fast.

'I saw him earlier at the administration office. I sadly only saw his back but I heard that he's super hot!' Alissa squealed a little.

I close my locker and turn to my two best and only friends. Jodie and Alissa. Well more like one best friend, since Alissa dated Greg, the football captain,last year she's part of the popular clique and barely talks to Jodie and I anymore. Alissa is gorgeous with her long blonde hair and blue eyes. But Jodie's pretty too, she has brown eyes like me and dirty blonde hair which she mostly wears in a bun and baggy clothes. Originally I would also wear glasses but I started wearing contacts last year and now my glasses are just bothering me.

I contemplate if I should tell them about yesterday but Alissa will only tease me about how socially awkward I am and I seriously don't need that. Don't get me wrong she's my oldest friend and I love her but I just don't want to get an eye roll or a stupid remark every time I tell her something about a book or something embarassing that happened.

I watch her go back to her friends and turn to Jodie with a smile.

'So now your gonna tell me about that new episode I know you're dying to talk about and then I'll tell you how I embarassed myself again.' I say to her with an overexaggarated sigh at the end.

She laughs and starts telling me all about her tv show, while we walk to history.

'Oh my god I can't believe you tripped'

We're now at lunch and Jodie's literally laughing her ass off. And suprisingly I'm already getting over the incident, instead of going into full body cringe at the memory I can laugh a little, so that's good. I guess I've just grown accustomed to embarrassing situations.

'Same and now I own Liam a pack of Skittles! He caused it!' I complained.

Still laughing a little she frowned ' yeah, he sometimes acts like a forty years old CEO'

I nodded in agreement. He's exactly like dad.

All of a sudden she started grinning mischievously and wiggled with her eyebrows. It looked quite strange. 'There comes McTowel'

'McTowel?' I raised an eyebrow at her before turning around.

There they stood, midway through the door, looking around for a free table. It was quite funny actually, the students behind them seemed really confused as to why they stopped.

Alex Jackson. He's kinda a bad boy, he smokes and I think I've heard he does street fighting but he gets straight A's and barely ditches school unlike his friend Josh. He has curly blonde hair and indigo blue eyes, he's qite handsome. All the girls swoon over him, I even think I saw a girl literally drooling last week. But he's really nice, he was my lab partner the past two years, even though it took him a year to know my name.

Josh Heller. Dark hair, brown eyes and many tattoos. He barely shows up so there's not much to say about him besides he's good looking but also kinda scary.

And then there's 'McTowel' as Jodie apparently likes to call him. Dark brown hair and smoky grey eyes. He's really handsome, so handsome he could be an actor or straight out of a book but they all could to be honest.

And he's

directly looking at me.

Oh my god! I've been staring at him!

He smirks. He recognized me, didn't he? I quickly turn away only to see Jodie trying to contain her laughter.

'This is perfect!' She mumbles with wide eyes and a creepy smile.

'What?' Did I miss something?

'What? Oh no it's nothing, I'm just thinking if 'McTowel ' or 'McNeighbor' sounds better. Bye' The bell rings and she hurries to her next class.

I'm the first one to arrive. English is my favourite subject, there's nothing that could ruin the next hour.

Five minutes in and the door opens again.

'You must be the new student, Dylan Wilde.' Mr Grundy (I know) stated. Clearly not happy about the interuption 'You can sit with..' his eyes scanning the class until his gaze stops by me. He's probably trying to remember my name.

Oh come on!

'..Kaitlyn! Yeah you can sit with Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn please raise your hand'

I reluctantly raise my hand. This is going great. Just great. At least now I know his name.

Amused he sits down beside me and I keep my gaze locked on my paper. I don't want any further embarrassment.

After thirty minutes he starts talking, that's right talking he's not even trying to whisper and be quiet!

'So Kaitlyn' My name sounds good out of his mouth. What the heck Kaitlyn?! 'how was your Thursday night?'

Seriously?

I finally look up ' It was great' I huffed. He's having fun at this.

I'm kinda shocked when I realize how close he is. I hold my breath.

'Enjoyed the view? I did.' he leans back with a smirk.

What the heck do I reply to that?!

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