When I woke up in bed, I felt nauseous. I did not want to go to school today! Even if I drive by his house ill still feel deeply disturbed. But I've grown to like someone at school, I only have two classes with him but it's still worth going to see him. So I got ready for school and ran down the stairs to find that my dad had made waffles. Which he knows if my favorite.
"Sleep well?" He asked
"Yes." I said quietly.
"Your still going to drive me to school, right?" I asked.
"If you want me too."
I smiled and nodded. Today wouldn't be all that bad, dad was going to drive me to school and I'd get to see Alex when I got to school. 'Alex is my crush, and soon to be boyfriend! '
After I finished my waffles I went out to he car and loaded my textbooks in the car and walked back inside to get dad.
"It's time to go dad." I said in a cheerful way.
"What's got you so cheerful?" He asked.
"Just can't wait to take my mind off of what happened last night!" I told him.
We walked out to the car and of course there he was, blood dripping from his nose again. I just acted like I hadn't seen him and kept walking.
I got to school about five minutes early, enough time to go and talk to Alex. I looked around, he wasn't there. Maybe he is just late....
About twenty minutes later there he came through the doorway and walked up to the teacher's desk and gave him a note. The teacher nodded and threw the note in the trash. Alex, who usually sat two rows away from me, saw that there was a seat beside mine and sat down there. He looked over, I looked over at him and smiled. He smiled back. Feeling a tingle of excitement rise I'm my stomach, I threw my pencil on the floor and asked if I could barrow one of his. He happily gave me a pencil and told me I could keep it. Smiling back at him I said thanks and started writing notes on the study guide for the test coming up. In the middle of writing notes about foreshadowing and how it makes up the story someone had flicked a note into my face, it fell on my paper. I unfolded the paper and read the note,
Meet me at the playground after school.
-Alex
I looked around wondering if someone was joking with me when I came across where Alex was sitting he looked up from his guide smiled and winked at me. Blushing I turned back to my paper and wrote more notes, smiling to myself.
Before I knew it school was over I shoved my stuff into my locker, slammed the locker shut and ran, I didn't even hear the teachers telling me to walk, all I could think about was getting to the playground where Alex would be waiting.
I looked around once I got there, he wasn't here yet. A moment of searching for him I saw that he was just by the slide waiting for me, I ran up to him,
"Hey, you wanted to meet me here?" I asked.
"Um, ya. I wanted to tell you something, well actually ..... two things,"
"Ok, what is it?" I asked trying to look as nice as possible.
"Ok the first thing I wanted to ask is can we study for this test sometime? I could use all the help I can get."
"Sure, and...."
"Um I was wondering ...... I've liked you since the day I came here and I was wondering if we could go to the movies sometime?"
