Quinn Carter is a sophomore at Northwright high , she's shy and can be a little awkward.
Then there's Lee Smith , her heart stopping ,jaw dropping ,mouth watering Korean love interest who she has been infatuated with since the day she met him . Pro...
"Hey?" Alex asks raising a brow at me . Sophie just stares. "Good morning ?" I ask despite the staring . "What are those ?" Alex asks . "What ?" "The sticks your walking on , you look like a newborn giraffe." After all that practicing , you gotta be kidding me .
"I ..I don't know what you mean ." Her eyes gaze over my shaky legs , I'm too off balance so I hold on to my open locker.
"You can't be serious ." Alex says.
"I have to agree with Alex this time ."Sophie joins.
"Also what happened yesterday , you never texted , or called ?" Alex asks .
"Oh my god , I'm so sorry . Brooke was teaching me how to walk in these heels ." I look down at them.
"Honey she failed ." Sophie states.
" Rude."I say and pout .
"What's going on with you ?" Alex asks blankfaced.
"What do you mean ?"
"Sweetie your wearing six inch heels -"
"Seven."I interrupt.
"Whatever , a crop top and a miniskirt that looks like a wide belt ."Sophie finishes.
"Don't exaggerate." I reply.
"Why all this ."Alex asks.
"I haven't seen you guys offer up any other options or try to help and ...woah!" Alex just shoved me and I'm midair processing what just happened when ...
"Hi."
All the air has left my body . I've fallen into the very strong arms of Lee Smith . Who else would be able to suck the life force out of me with just a smile ? Oh I hope this moment lasts forever , he truly looks good with any eye colour . Lee loves wearing eye contacts , green, grey, sky-blue , dark blue , turquoise , gold you name it . I like these grey ones . I think I've just gone dumb.
Say hi , anything! Anything at all, he'll think your a freak.wait no maybe your breath smells. I can't remember what I had for breakfast , was it cereal or last night's garlic filled spaghetti and meatballs ?
The internal struggle is real guys. All I'm doing is opening and closing my mouth like a fish struggling for air . He doesn't seem phased , he's just smirking at my flustered self. It seems like hours , just me and him .
"T...thanks ." I mumble as I straighten my skirt and fix my hair once he helps me stand.
"Sure thing ." He smiles brightly .
"Alex!" I groan in a hushed tone so Lee can't hear.
"Your welcome ." She smirks and slurps her slushy before strutting off proudly . Sophie follows closely behind .
*****
"Guys , ooh !" I stumble over to where they're seated in the empty classroom . I just hit my waist against a desk . Stupid heels.
"Wait are you actually doing your homework ?" I ask Alex .
"I jus-"
"Anyway , Lee just invited us to his party . It's tonight ."
"Be there ." I command and start walking off .
"Oh right , Alex you were saying ?" I halt at the door and half turn to face them.
"Never mind , it's nothi-"
"Okay ,party at eight be there ."
I leave to head to where Lee is , he told me to meet him at lunch . I can't walk fast enough in these heels and I'm already turning red at the ankles . But beauty is a struggle right ?
Left .
Right.
Left .
Through the quad.
"Hey ?" I wave and fall flat on my face in front on Lee.
He immediately comes to pick me up .
"Are you okay ?" He asks worried expression on his face .
"Oh , it's okay , my face broke my fall ." I groan . Lee chuckles .
Behind Lee are a group of his guy friends and the gossip girls of Northwright high .Heather and Katy . If this school had cliques I'm pretty sure they would be the mean girls but because we don't , they have to pretend to be nice to for survival . This school has savages who would tear you down without hesitation should you cross any of the unspoken lines .I'd tell you what they are but they are unspoken .
"Quinn babe hiiii?" Katy greets.
Katy ,Heather and Sophie used to be friends a long time ago .Hence their way of speech is similar .
"Hi ." I murmur in embarrassment . They just saw me drop like a rock , if they don't turn that into gossip worthy news , the holy spirit is upon them.
"So are you coming to the party ?" Heather asks .
"Tots obvi she is , it's her boyfriends party ." She smirks and continues chewing on her gum loudly . You may be wondering why she would say this and not threaten to ruin my life because , "Lee belongs to her " and all that movie cliché , well it's simply because she's into much older guys , a disease she infected sweet innocent Sophie with. She has repeatedly reminded us that she has a boyfriend whose a stinking rich senior who bought her a car which she parks in the teachers' parking area .
I blush ," he's not ...were not ."
" Come on let's go eat ." Lee interrupts and guides me to where they are having lunch with his hand on the small of my back.
Be still my heart.
