Loser like Me

Chapter 5- Goosebumps

This past week was the most unrealistic week I have ever had.
On Monday, I entered school as usual, got my needed books from my locker and headed to class. But let's stop right there. USUALLY I get shoved head first into my locker, but that day, not a single hair on my head was even blown out of place. At the time I didn't realize any of this until I got home.
Tuesday, the same thing occurred but something else changed. At lunch, Chase and Ash, including their usual clique, invited me to sit at their table. I politely declined and rushed over to Emma to tell her the news and after she squirted mustard on me.
Wednesday was the same except for the fact Ash Didn't partner up with Courtney, but me. He explained to her that he "needed to bring up his grade." I didn't buy any of it but shook off the weird feelings.
Thursday and Friday were normal.

"I think the school is just warming up to you. " Cory smiled over to me as he drove. I scrunched my nose and laughed.

"It's my senior year! Don't you think it's a little to late for That?"

"C'mon don't be so hard on yourself. YOUR AMAZING!" He pinch my nose.

"WHATEVER. You can tell me that all you want, but it won't change the fact that the whole school is hiding this huge secret behind my back and I know for a fact that Ash Kenton is the culprit. " I slide my glasses swiftly up the bridge of my nose.

"So what is the secret?" He raised an eyebrow.

I shuddered, "They are planning to copy the movie 'Carrie'. I know it. And I am the center of the show. Before this is over, I will by a blood soaked psycho. "

He chuckled, "Well miss Tori, if they even think of doing you that way. I'll be the one to stop it. I promise."

I wanted to believe Cory, I really did, but my gut was telling me that something was happening and no one was in control of it. So when Monday rolled around and I entered school, the first thing I heard was, "Ash and Courtney are over."

This had to be the most shocking breakup in the world. I knew for a fat fact that Ash wouldn't want to jeopardize his Label with Courtney, so it had to be a lie. Until after I saw Courtney, I realized it was all very true. She had mascara stained cheeks and her hair was out of place, even the way she walked was off.

I tried to ignore the news but even me, the girl who didn't give not one f*ck about school drama, couldn't get over it.

I decided to study for my trigonometry quiz during lunch. I figured the awkwardness of the lunchroom would be best to avoid and I could use my time more wisely this way, so I went to the Library. It had been 20 minutes since I arrived and I knew the bell would ring soon to release us back to class, so I quickly got up to search for a book to help me in history class.
The history section was in the very back of the room. I was studying a book I found when I was pinned against a bookshelf. I was in shock and it took me awhile to come to terms with my situation.
His arms trapped me between his body and the bookshelf. The look on his face made me feel like my knees couldn't support my body anymore. He pulled my glasses off and sat them on a nearby shelf. I could still see him but he wasn't as clear, thankfully I was more nearsighted and I didn't really need my glasses to see up close. Goosebumps rose up my arms and my heart beat quickened as his body pushed even closer to mine. I could see him studying me through the dark shades he had on. His Cologne had consumed my nose and I couldn't help but take a deep breath and sigh in delight. He noticed me taking in his scent and he smirked down at me.
I swallowed the dry lump that had formed in the back of my throat. His arms descended down the wall to my waist and I tensed as he softly gripped at my hip bones.
I was scared. Not the scared you get when you watch a horror movie, but the scared you get when you realize someone is acting like a totally different person. He made me feel small as he towered over my small frame. His head lowered to mine and before I could gather my thoughts together he pushed his lips to mine, sending all my thoughts into a twilight zone.
It felt like an infinity passed as our lips entwined together and I didn't seem to care that the boy I grew up hating was kissing me as if he had done it a million times before, and I was allowing him all the access he could ask for.
The dismal bell rang which scared us apart and I dropped the book I had in my hand to the floor. He looked at the book then me but his gaze landed on something to my left. I had a dreadful feeling, not from what just happened between us, but because I knew if I looked at what he was staring intently at that I would regret it, but I did anyway.

"Principles. Office. Now." The librarian told us sternly.

Ash pushed his self away from me and I immediately felt naked to the world. I found my glasses and shoved them back on while flashes of the seconds that had just passed kept replaying in my mind. I couldn't find the strength to look at Ash and knowing he was looking at me made my face flush red. He kissed my cheek and started walking proudly to the office.

I stood in disbelief as I realized I was smiling like an idiot.
