Young Blood

Chapter Three

| Tuesday September 23 |

" If you could take my pulse right now it feel just like a sledge hammer " I groaned at the sound of my phone going off , telling me it's time to get up for school. You know it really sucks getting up every morning at six A.M and be on the bus by seven.

I slowly threw the warm blankets off my body then trudged to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Ahhh ! I looked like a raccoon that got hit by a truck on the freeway in the middle of July and left there for about two weeks in the blazing hot sun. Wow that was quite the simile I used to describe myself there. I've been told I have got a very good imagination.

After that I cleared all the makeup that was smudged on my face off and started clean. I put on a coat of mascara and a bit I eye liner , then I was done. Next I went to my closet and pulled out a pair of blue skinny jeans and a pink Bench T-shirt. But then I decided I didn't want to wear what I had on so I changed about fifteen times before I was satisfied with black skinny jeans and a grey Aeropostale T-shirt. Then I threw on a purple sweater and went out to the kitchen where my mom was just finishing making my lunch.

Looking at the time it said 6:49. Crap I gotta get out to the driveway. I grabbed my lunch and put on my shoes. " Bye mom " I said running out the door. Just as I got out to the end of my driveway the bus arrived. I hurried on and found my usual seat. The bus ride can be extremely boring at times. I'm the second one on in the morning and the second last off at night , and it's three little kids that are on before me.

I yawned then noticed I was really tired. Should've went to bed earlier but me and Mason were having a pretty good conversation so I didn't bother saying to him that I was tired and wanted to go to bed. Even though he's kinda ink that emo gangster shit he's still really nice. I don't think he is all what people pin point him out to be.

I mean sure he's dated a lot of girls like all the grade eight girls and maybe half of the grade seven girls but you know like sometimes you think you really like someone then you realize afterwards that you don't ..... yeah never mind that was a bad enology. Okay so maybe he's a bit of a player but I have heard he has had some long term relationships. " Aubrey ? " I snapped out of my daze and looked over to see Mason had already gotten on the bus.

Holy shit I was thinking about all that for like ten minutes. Wow I think in starting to lose my mind , over a guy , that I just met three weeks ago. Why does that sound so bad. Oh I know why because I know absolutely nothing about him but yet I claim to really like him.

Maybe it's because of his eyes , that are staring directly at me. Awh shit I forgot to answer him. " Sorry uhm ... I was just thinking... a lot about something " I stuttered.

" Yeah obviously , you didn't even notice me get on or anything " He said. " One question ? "

" Yeah ? " Oh god what's he gonna ask me ? Okay I really need to stop thinking and talking to myself so much. Shut up ! You're gonna miss why he has to say if you get lost in thought again. Right , focus. For goodness sake I'm losing my mind.

" Are you high ? " He asked.

" Huh ? " I said in shock. Awh man that probably sounded really rude. Or just retarded.

" Sorry I didn't mean it as a bad thing it's just you were completely dazed out there for a while and it still kinda looks like you aren't paying attention. " He explained.

" Oh " I laughed awkwardly. " Uhm ... no I'm not high. " I think.

*************************

Wow today was a really long day. I walked threw the front door then read the note on the fridge. " I'm gone to Perth , be back in a bit " I sighed then sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. Just as I put on my favourite show ' Ke$ha , my crazy beautiful life ' when my phone buzzed beside me.

I picked up my phone and saw Mason had texted me. My lips formed a smile.

Mason : Hey sup

My fingers scanned the touch screen then started typing.

Me : Hey nothing much , what about you ?

Mason : Nothing really. Wanna play 20 questions ?

I read it then laughed a little.

Me : Sure , you ask first while I think of one

Mason : Okay.

Mason and I played twenty questions for about an hour before we adventured off into an actual conversation. Somehow we got talking about how we like each other and how I wouldn't want to just be a fling. He told me that he really liked me and that he wanted a long term relationship with me. I was so happy.

Mason : So you wanna ..... ?

He asked. I knew what he was asking but I wanted to make him say it.

Me : Wanna what ?

Mason : Sit on the bus together

Chicken.

Me : C'mon you already asked me that

Mason : Okay , wanna go out with me ?

I smiled so wide , I swear the sides of my lips touched my eyes.

Me : Yes
