No longer Invisible

Chapter 17

Christopher P.O.V 1 WEEK LATER

I usually have a schedule wake up at 5:30, shower, get dressed, brush my teeth, wash my face, eat, get my stuff, and leave.

Today was different though because I overslept. "Christopher get up." I heard my father's voice. I sat up and looked at the time. It was 7:57. "Crap what happened to my alarms." I said to myself jumping out of bed. 

I looked to see and none of my alarms were on. I didn't have time for a shower this morning so I just did everything else as fast as I could. 

I got to my car and was going to unlock it but couldn't find my keys. I always have my keys in my jacket. I ran back inside and looked for my keys till I found them on my desk.

I ran downstairs and outside then got in my car driving as fast as I could. I arrived at school kinda late just by 5 minutes. I went to the office to get my pass and went up to my class. 

I gave the teacher my pass and sat down next to Naomi. "Did your sister give you a ride?" I asked because lately, I've been driving her to school. 

"No there wasn't um enough room they had a lot of stuff so Toby got me." She said looking down at her desk. I just nodded wondering did he go see if she needed one or did she call him. 

"Where were you this morning?" She asked looking at me with those cute brown eyes. "I overslept I'm sorry." I said scratching the back of my neck. "It's alright I'm just glad all my friends are here now." I smiled down at her.

Naomi is such a sweet girl it's hard to believe that before Me, Toby, and Carter she had no friends. 

Sometimes I think about her and only her when I'm in my bed at night trying to go to sleep. She'll be the only thing on my mind till I go to sleep and sometimes she's the first thing I think of when I wake up.

"Alright class grab a book and can someone tell me where we left off yesterday." I got both me and Naomi books and sat back down in my seat. 

She thanked me and the teacher started reading.  I wasn't really listening I was too busy staring at Naomi. "Stop it." I heard her whisper I smiled and looked at my book.

 At some point, I once again stopped listening and my eyes went straight to Naomi. 

"Christopher is there something wrong?" I looked up at my teacher and shook my head. "No sir." I said and he nodded. 

"Then please stop staring at Naomi you can do that another time." He said and went back to reading I heard a few giggles and chuckles even Naomi giggled. "I told you to stop." She whispered.

"It's hard not to look at you." I whispered back and tried concentrating on the book and my teacher instead of the beautiful woman next to me.

 After a really boring lesson on the Great Depression, war, and a worksheet it was time to go to 2nd period. "So I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight just me and you?" I asked Naomi and she didn't look up at me or say anything.

"Naomi did you hear me?" I asked and she looked up at me. 

"Um I-I can't I have a thing?" I looked down at her confused about why she said it like that. "A thing?" I asked and she nodded. 

"Yup a thing and I will have this thing all week so um sorry Christopher." She said and left. I knew she was lying but why? 

Naomi 

I would love to hang out with Christopher but after what Stacy said last week I would feel weird. What if he asked me out or thought it would be like a date?
