I woke up from last nights sleep feeling amazing. It was early in the morning and I didn't feel need to go back to sleep and I had two hours before school started. I felt great and decided to go running, which is strangely odd because I never liked running, but I decided to go anyways.

I put on a sports bra and a my thin jacket, and threw on some black shorts. I grabbed an apple, slipped into my sneakers and headed out the door. I didn't know where I was going but I didn't stop running. I lead my way through Sierra heights park and watched how quiet it was, no one was going to be crazy like me and run at five in the morning. I slowed to a steady jog when I saw I figure running the opposite direction. At first I was scared as shit, thinking something bad has happened, until I saw the attire the guy was wearing, running clothes, I guess someone is just as crazy as I am.

The man slowed down and started walking just as I had done. As soon as I got closer I recognized who it was, it was him, omg do I look gross? He definitely didn't he looked hot and sweaty which looked good on him. I quickly pampered myself and unzipped my jacket to where it was barely showing the stomach under my bra. I put my my fingers to my neck, pretending to check for a pulse and looked at my wrist, then I realized I had no watch on, so I continued to walk at a slow pace, wow I'm such an idiot.

I crossed paths with him, making sure I didn't look at him but I knew his beautiful eyes were on me. I kept walking until he spoke.

"Hannah?" He called to me.

"Oh Professor Smith, I didn't see you there! How crazy is this?" I tried not to sound suspicious.

"Haha yeah, I didn't know you ran?"

"Ya, I do almost every morning." I lied.

"Thats crazy! Maybe we should run together some time."

Shit. "Defiantly, well I better get going, I have to get ready for school."

He nodded and agreed, I saw his eyes travel from my face down my body, then he jogged away.

I blushed and those butterflies gave me the energy to run all the way back to my dorm.

I quickly showered and got dressed right when Sav woke up, demanding me to go get her some breakfast. I agreed knowing she is not a morning person and I didn't want to get up in that. I headed towards the cafeteria seeing Macie walk in the same direction.

"Hey Macie!" I shouted.

"Hannah shhh, people are still sleeping" She whispered, "Thats why we do this!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Making me plug my ears but laughing my ass off at the same time.

What the hell, I joined her screaming like a little girl on a roller coaster. We chased each other down the hallway until we heard running footsteps behind us. We reached the top of the stairs and we ran down them losing the sound of footsteps.

"Man... I like you..." I huffed.

"Haha... Me too!" She spoke as she slumped to the ground.

I did the same, until we heard a voice saying, 'I think they ran down there' another chimed in saying 'Man they are fucking annoying'

Just as we sat down we hopped right back up and chased each other to the cafeteria, we shoved the doors open, following Macie, I slid under a table just as she did.

Just as the doors shut they were pushed open once again. Two guys standing in their boxers with mandals on, scanned the cafeteria searching for these so called 'annoying' girls. Trying to hold back our laughter I asked, "Why are we under the tables?"

"I don't know, probably because we are stupid and immature." She whispered while giggling.

The guys walked straight up to the table we were under and banged their fists on the table. Scared as shit I thought they found us, but they didn't and kept searching.

I sat their huddled under the table when I saw Mr. Smith walk into the cafeteria. What is my history teacher doing here? I stare at him as he walks up to the coffee stand and helps him self to a nice cup of joe. He holds the coffee up to his nice plump lips and takes a sip, just as that happened he spit it right back out cursing under his breath. He held his tounge while murmuring. I couldn't help but burst out laughing, Oh no. Macie shoots me a glare also with a horrified look on her face.

"Did you hear that?" One of the guys exclaimed.

"Ya it sounded like it came from under the tab..." He was cut off when Mr. Smith walked up to them.

"Hey boys, you shouldn't be standing out here in your boxers, plus you better get ready for your classes." He said while looking at his watch.

The boys figured out what the were wearing and were flushed with embarrassment. They ran out of the cafeteria and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Just as I thought we were safe, Mr. Smith crouches down and stares at me under the table.

"What are you doing down here?" He asks looking confused.

"I um... well...we were enjoying how our floor is nicely polished by the hard working janitors." I reply getting out from under the table.

He looks at me not convinced,"They do a nice job don't they? We are lucky to have them." He plays along.

"Ya...um...well I'll see you soon!" I say speed walking out the door grabbing a muffin in one hand and in the other is Macie's arm.

We laugh the whole way to her room and say goodbye. I walk back to my dorm and set the muffin on the counter for Savvy and watch t.v. till I had to leave for my classes.
