Chapter Seven
The break wasn't much. We had Christmas, which was fun for the most part. New years which was typical your excited for a literal minute then it's over. And then the rest I spent reading, laptop time, or hanging out with Savannah. You know that momment when your driving to your first day back from break and your regreting everything you didn't do. Yeah that's me right now.
I walk into school and sigh with frustartion. Why didn't I go to some crazy party on New Years and kiss someone at 12:00? Cause your too anti social. Why didn't I get so drunk, I wouldn't have remembered what happened that night? Cause your a wimp. Ugh January going back to school regrets. The best.
I get to my locker and see Savannah waiting for me. She always comes to school earlier than me, I usually wait ti'll the absolute last minute... for obvious reasons. "Excited?" She asks me with a sly smile.
" Are you really asking?" I say taking out some of my 9000 pound text books.
" No, just thought I could start a conversaition"
We both walk to our first class, Photography... yay. We had to print out twenty of our pictures that we took on the trip and put them in a folder. I have all the pictures Luke and I took. It was suprisingly hard to pick twenty, they all looked so good, if Mr. Gibson even takes the pictures. I walk in and see the class handing in their folders in a pile on Mr. Gibsons desk. I nervously walk over and place my folder on the pile, I turn around about to walk before I got stopped.
" What's this?" Mr. Gibson asks taking my folder and flipping through it.
" The pictures I took in New York"
I try to read his face to see what he thinking, but his face is expressionless and all he says is " Hmmm I see" I'm still standing there silent. " I assume you learned your lesson staying in your hotel room the whole night" He says still looking through the pictures.
I think of getting ice cream and going late night shopping with Savannah and Lizbeth. I gulp " Yeah" Is all I manage to blurt out.
" I'll mark this, but i'll be marking it a lot harder then everyone else in the class" Mr. Gibson says putting back my folder.
" Thank you!" I say, I walk back to my desk with a huge smile on my face. Anything is better than a zero.
Across the room I see Lukes friend Calum. He gives me a friendly smile and I return one. I haven't seen or spoken to Luke since my outburst with Lucie. I'm pretty embarrassed, the only people I cry infront of are fictional characters and Savannah.
Photography went by fast since we did absolutley nothing. I arrive at my next class, english. I sit down and get out my book and start to read. Almost half an hour has past and our teacher still hasn't showed up. I feel someone tap my shoulder and I turn around, it's the new kid Colton. " Is the teacher always this late?" He asks me with a sarcastic smile. I can't help but laugh even though it wasn't that funny it just comes out. Colton is really attractive and by really attractive I mean REALLY ATTRACTIVE.
" She probably heard you were joining the class and was too scared to show up" I look forward again and see Luke standing there.
Colton has a suprised look on his face " I'm Colton" he says
Luke just mutters his name and then walks over to his desk. Why was he being so rude?
" Do you know him?" Colton asks me.
"Um.... no" I say obviously lying. Great lying to some really hot guy who probably knows I lied and probably thinks i'm friends with a really rude guy.
My english teacher finally runs in at the perfect moment and starts her lesson. She starts to talk about universitys and it makes my stomach twist. I'm confident in all the applications I put in. I got staright As last year and I've been getting As so far this year ( accept the ocassional photography mark ). I did a crap load of volunteer work and joined lots of clubs, but Lucie went to one of the best Ivy league schools in the country, and that set a huge standard for my brother and I.
I feel another tap on my shoulder and I turn around to see Colton handing me a slip of paper,
#?
Okay so maybe he doesn't think i'm an akward lying weirdo. I write my number on the paper and pass it back to him.

I walk into my bedroom and immediatly put on a sweatshirt and some fuzzy socks. I pin my hair up in a messy bun and begin to do my homework. Before I can do to much I hear a knock on my door. "Come in" I yell. My brother Jesse walks in and sits on my bed. " What do you want?" I ask him.
" What did Lucie do?" I'm kind of caught of guard by the question.
" What do you mean?" I ask him.
" You and Lucie were yelling at eachother the night you got home, you've both been really distantant and she's been super fucking annoying" It feels odd at the sound of my brother swearing. Even though he's fifteen and that's completely normal. He still seems like my four year old brother who would play legos with me.
" I don't know she's been super rude in general, I guess she's going through some sort of phase" I say continuing on doing my homework.
" What about you?"
" What about me?" I ask
" You've been acting diffrent" He says laying down on my floral duvet.
" I'm just super stressed and Lucie's been bugging me"
Jesse looks at me and stays silent. " What?" I ask him
" Nothing" He says still laying on my bed. My phone vibrates and I look at it.
C: Hey are you free friday? It's Colton btw.
I quickly type a reply.
A: I think so
I don't no whether to add a smily face or and excalmation point so I just keep it blank.
C: Great, i'll pick you up at 6:00
A: Sounds good.
" Who are you texting" Jesse asks me, I almost forgot he was in the room.
" Savannah" I lie. " Hey, could you leave?" I ask him.
" Fine" He says getting up and throwing a pillow at my head. I imediatly call Savannah cause she would kill me if I didn't. We end up talking for an hour and I completely forget about my homework. I hang up the phone and go downstairs for dinner. I'm already feeling nervous for the date.
