Your Are My Everything

Her Peppermint Gum

                   It was later that day and i couldn't get her off my mind, there was just something about her, and her striking lavender hair that was consuming my mind.

"Hey babe, you there," James asked, looking concerned?

                     I had totally forgotten that we were eating lunch, "umm... yeah sorry thinking about cheerleading practice. We're picking a new flyer today"I lied. I don't know why it just didn't seem right to tell him about earlier.

"Oh ok, you just seemed out of it i guess," he said, still looking a tiny bit concerned

"I'm gonna go early, so that way i can get to the gym earlier and workout on my own," i said while standing up from my seat," i'll see you after school, hope the rest of your day is good."

                       "Oh wow umm ok, well have a good time i'll see you later," he sighed while taking my dark blue lunch tray and standing up to throw it out, "here i'll take this for you, so that way you can just head there now."

                          I stood up from my seat and pushed it in and started speed walking down the hall, I was going to waste no time. I just needed to get to the gym and go for a run that would for sure get her off my mind, or at least I hoped. Within no time I was at the locker room doors, I needed to change before i went on a run and i always kept gym clothes in my locker because of cheerleading practice after school.

                          As soon as I had walked I could see her, standing there pulling a loose purple tank top over her body, she was beautiful. Wait why am I thinking this no she isn't she's just a wanna be popular who has no place in my mind, I tried to convince myself. But she was standing here with her lavender hair pulled into a tight low ponytail, with her tank top laying loosely on her bodice, threatening to fall off her right shoulder, and her black, tight, high waisted leggings.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer," she said, catching my gaze, I hadn't even noticed I was staring.

"I.. umm... I wasn't," I stammered, I couldn't think of what to say. I could feel my cheeks getting rosy.

"Well you should watch it next time or else someone might get the wrong impression," she whispered, while walking towards me, " and we wouldn't want that to happen would we."

                        She continued walking closer than just as she was within distance where I could taste her peppermint gum, she slipped her hand into mine and winked, and then walked away.

                         As soon as she couldn't see me I opened my palm there was a small piece of paper with a number on it, and a ;), saying, "call me, or not." there was something that sparked in the back of my mind that said i would call her, and just as the thought was there it had left. Leaving a smile on my face my entire run.
