Just Go With It

"obsessed with that guy"

"Carter, Carter, Carter!" I heard the familiar voice of Haley yelling acroos the hall. She ran up to me squealing on all types of excited.

"What, what's wrong!?" I asked in panic. She smirked at me for a minute before breaking her trance

"Guess what I heard?" She teased, I rolled my eyes. I hate the guessing game with her, she'll have you guessing til kingdom come.

"I'm not playing this game with you" I tell her, she sighs.

"You're no fun" she mumbled

"But, I just so happened to be listening to Spencer's conversation in class and he said he's going to ask you out!" She started jumping up and down like some type of weird fangirl.

" Why do you have to lie to me" I whine , she hooks her arm in mine and we walk to the lunch room.

"Oh please, I'd never lie about that"

"Hmm" I started thinking. I've had a crush on that guy since freshman year, but I never actually wanted to date him for some weird reason. Like my mind wanted to be with him but my heart was like ' no lady, we're saving you for someone better'. Thing is , I don't think there is someone better than him. He's athletic, handsome as Hell, nice, and has a body that looks like channing Tatum.

I took my usual seat with my group and we all just talked. Brent and Kyle were having this weird conversation about cheese.

"Hey Brent" I interrupted them.

"Yo" he turned all his attention to me.I gave him my sweetest smile.

"Do you have the trig homework from Friday?" I asked trying to be sweet.

"Yeah . I do" he squinted his eyes at me.

"Can I see it please" I asked, hoping he'd let me.

"Usually I'd say no, but since you always do your work..." He turned , digging through his bag.

"Here ya go" he said

"Thank you" . I grabbed the paper and started copying it.

I pulled my Oreos out of my bag, sitting them on the table. I listen in on everyone's conversations, while munching on my Oreos. I felt a tap on my shoulder, so I turned slightly to see Spencer. Holy crap

"Hey Carter" he gave me that sweet smile of his, I returned the gesture and he sat next to me.

"So I have a question for you" he said quietly and started bouncing his leg. I was trying so hard to hide my excitement.  Everyone at out table was minding their own business, acting as if spencer wasn't there.

"so what's this question? " I faked acting curious but my interest was real. He took a deep breathe before looking at me again.

"so I know you and Caleb broke up .. but I feel like its been long enough and I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me on Friday?" He was nervous,  his knee was still bouncing and his finger tips lightly pranced on the lunch table.

"Yeah id lo-..... Wait actually I promised another friend to hang out with them." I wanted to bang my head on the table so bad.  My one chance with my highschool crush and I blew it out the damn window. He looked at haylee for a second then back at me.

"oh, okay then...its fine , maybe another day?" I nod in response and he gets up to leave.Seconds later I feel a smack on my arm. My head snaps towards valet and I give her the wtf  look"

"You've been obsessed with that guy for four years and you turn him down?!" She stated and she was right, it wasn't very smart.

"I know, but I promised Jason we'd hang out that day... And you know me with promises " I tell her . She gives me that face that she usually does when she knows I'm right.  Just as that was said, the bell rung indicating lunch was over .
          I started walking to my art class. When I got inside the class I noticed we had a substitute teacher.  It doesn't really matter because all we're going to do is work on our books.  I was stuck on how I said no to Spencer, like that was my one and only chance and I turned him down. If I would have accepted , I'm pretty sure Jason would have understood.  I just didn't want to do that to Jason because I barely get to see him as it is. The entire time in art class that's what I was thinking about.  The class came to an end. I went to grab my bag out my locker and went home. On the drive home I stopped at California pizza kitchen to get me a pizza. Pulling inside our garage I hopped out my car and went into the house,  straight to the living room. I pulled out my trig homework and my comic book. I sat Indian style on the couch and began doing my homework.   
          I was packing up my things to carry to my room and I heard the front door open. Being my scary self I quietly walked to the entrace of the living room, peeking my head out just a bit to see who it was.

"MOMMY!" I yelled in excitement, running over to the front door and into her arms.

"hey baby, how are you?" She said in her sweet voice along with a small laugh.

"I'm great now, I thought you weren't supposed to be back for another 5 days?" My curious side came out.

"well the trip was cut short because we got him to be on our team" she explained.

"I kind of knew it would be short... I mean no one can resist saying no to you momma" I joke and she laughs with me.  
          I help her take her bags upstairs and unpack everything.  She tells me about her little adventures while on her trip and I tell her about my times while she was away. Thirty minutes later she was in the shower and I was on my MacBook, looking at colleges.
          My mom entered my room and sat on the edge of my bed. She was texting on her phone for about two minutes then she looked up at me.

"are you hungry?" She questions.

"no, I ate like 45 minutes before you got here". She nodded her head .

"well I'm going to go get panda express, you need anything while I'm out?" She stood up to get ready to leave .

"ummm.... No I'm good, thanks for asking " . She nodded her head again and left me room. I rubbed my temples and laid back onto my pillows.  College searching is a bit stressful. It gave me a headache.  I shut my laptop and set it on my night stand.  Climbing off my bed I do into my bathroom and go brush my teeth. I smile really big to look at my teeth then twist my hair into a bun. I shut off my bathroom light as I leave and go climb into my bed. Thinking about my future, I let sleep overtake my body.
