We got back to school a few minutes before the bell rang, Liam went off with the football team and I stayed behind at my locker waiting for the bell to ring, I just want this day to be over with.
When the bell rang I made my way to class and sat in the back where I normally do with Liam, he sat next to me per usual but I just had my face stuck in my notebook. I wrote song lyrics but I don't show Liam because most of the songs are about my feelings for him.
I don't know when i developed my feelings, but i did and they are crazy powerful. He tries to peek at my writing but I always move it so he can't, when the bell rings we go to our last class. The class dragged on and on as the teacher kept lecturing us about things that have very little impact on us as teenagers.
Finally the day is over and I can go watch the football practice and write in my songbook without interruptions, well mostly.
Making my way to the field, i see the cheerleaders doing their warm-up's and oogling at the sweaty football players.
They team gets out of their last class 20 minutes early on practice day and 30 minutes on home game day. The players don't have to came to last period on away game days.
Walking up the first couple of bleacher benches I sit down and pull out my songbook as I watch the boys for a couple minutes before tuning them out and working on my songs.
An hour comes and goes, like the early autumn wind and lyrics for my songs just keep coming like a crashing wave.
In my peripheral vision I see a figure coming over and it stands towering me as I sit on the bench. Looking up I see that it is the red-head from earlier.
"Can I help you? " I ask.
"Yeah, stay away from Liam." She growls.
"Excuse me? Who are you to say I can't be around my best friend? " I question already annoyed by this bitch.
"I am Megan, his girlfriend. And I say stay away from him. He's mine."
"Ok... good for you. I am gonna hang out with anyone I want... including my best friend. So you can take that fake bitch attitude and shove it." I say standing up and walking away.
"You'll regret that!" The bitch yells after me.
"Doubt it." I yell back.
Walking over to my Jeep, I see Liam coming out of the field house and heading to his truck. He has a white Chevy 2500, with a 6 inch lift. It's a badass truck.
Getting in my car, I drive over to his truck.
"Hey Li!"
"Hey Gabs! Where ya headed?"
"Well I told my dad I was gonna go to your house after school, sooo here I am."
Liam smiles and his eyes lighten to a crystal blue from the angle of the sun.
"Ok. You go on over... I'll text mom that your comin'."
"Where are you going?"
"To the store, silly! I'm getting us snacks." He drawls.
"And by us... you mean you're getting all of my favorite snacks."
"Yep!" Liam smiles and starts his truck. It comes to life with a growl, and it sounds oh so good!
Waving to Liam, I put my Jeep in drive and head in the direction of Liam's house. Liam lives on the other side of town, so I drive through our small downtown area and get stopped by the only red light in town.
While I am sitting at the red light, my favorite song, Girl in a Country Song by Maddie & Tae, comes on and I turn it up as high as i can and sing the words. I actually learned to play this song on my guitar.
Bein' the girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?
Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend
Nothing more
We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep our mouth shut and ride along
And be the girl in a country song
The light turned green and on I went.
After a couple minutes I pulled up in front of the Walker's house. I knocked on the door and walked in,
"Mom & Dad Walker?"
"In the kitchen Gabby dear!" Mama Walker yelled happily.
Walking into the kitchen, i see mom and dad Walker are dancing around the kitchen to 'I Cross My Heart' by George Strait.
I want a love like theirs, happy and all-consuming.
"I am gonna go start my homework in Liam's room, if that's alright."
"Ok." With that I went to Liam's room.
