When I Met You

Chapter 5

"Ring!"

The bell went off and everyone was going to their lockers to put their homework in them and head to lunch.

"Hey." A quiet voice says behind me and I feel a hand on my shoulder.

I turn around to see chad standing behind me and my heart starts pounding.

"Hey, shouldn't you be headed to lunch?"

"Yeah I just wanted to see how your day was going first."

"Oh its doing pretty good, will be better when I leave this hell hole." I say back while chuckling.

"Yeah i know what you mean, but I'll let you go to lunch now. Have a good day, see you after school"

"Okay, and yes you will."

Luckily I moved at a good time of the year. Theres only two days left of school and it'll be summer of 2014. There's nothing I love more then summer. And i had a feeling that this one, was going to be remembered.

Walking down the hallway back from lunch to study hall I get to thinking about when I get on the bus to go to Jerica's. I get nervous and kinda anxious at the same time. What if's began to run threw my mind.

"What if I do something stupid, and embarrass myself in front of chad?" About that time, the last bell of the day rang and i rushed out to my locker, got my book bag, and headed for the bus.

I'm sitting on the bus then Jerica sits by me.

"Hey, how was your day?"

"Good, gotta lot of homework though"

"Woah, woah, woah, get out of that seat" Chad says as soon as he gets On the bus.

"No, I was here first."

So chad sits on Jerica and gets in the middle of Jerica and I.

"Cassidy! How was the rest of your day?" Chad says as I'm squished against the window

"Oh it was just peachy."

"Well good."

Getting off the bus and I trip going down the stairs and almost face plant but some how manage to keep my balance. And just walk silently to Jerica's. I just felt like being quiet. I didn't really want to talk. Nothing was wrong, just quiet.

I unload my book bag on the kitchen table and start doing my homework. Jerica's mom pushed me to go to school and do good for myself. When I was at home, I never got any sleep, my mom drank 24\7 and felt the need to blare the music so loud and I couldn't sleep til 4am so I didn't want to get up for school the next day. And she wanted to be a mother figure to me because I don't really have a mother figure in my life, and my dad, he skipped out on us 3 years ago. So Jerica's step dad wanted to be a father figure to me, so I gave it a shot.

"You Need help with that?" Jerica asks right at the end of my homework.

"Well I'm done now, what's the point?"

"I can look over it if you want"

"No I'm good, thanks though"

Jerica was in one grade higher then me. We are the same age, I'm just not in the same grade as her becuase I started school late. My birthday is 12-20-2000.

About that time Chad walks in...

"He's so perfect. Like he's handsom and those eyes, I could get lost in for days" I saw in my head as I watch Chad walk in.

"Jerica, you know Cassidy and I are going out?"

"No.. why didn't you tell me Cassidy?"

"I don't know, totally slipped my mind."

Sitting in Jerica's room I'm on my phone then all the sudden it gets snatched out of my hands.  I jump over to where Chad is and try to grab it out of his hand but end up getting my hand interlocked with his, yes, this is truly the most amazing feeling ever to have my hand interlocked with his. I just stop for a second and look at him in the eyes and wonder how I could get this lucky.

*CHADS POV*

Her hands interlocked with mine and she's looking right at me. I just look into those big beautiful brown eyes and can't help myself, I squeeze her hand a little bit to make her realise we are holding hands, she looks at our hands together and just smiles. She doesn't let go, she smiles. I resell like this girl and I want to give her the best, but my past might run her away. My dads a jackass... my real dad that is. I visit him, if I have too. My last visit is one I'll never forget.. worse thing ever.

"You want your phone back?"

"Yes please!"

I give her the phone and keep holding her hand. Her hand fits in mine so perfectly. When im holding her hand, I feel safe, and I have this feeling that I never want to lose.

*END OF POV*

He's holding my hand.. its amazing. I love this. I never want to let go.

"My phones vibrating, wait a second."

He pulls it out of his pocket and its a call. I see 'Mom' written on the screen and he answers.

I can hear her talking and I'm not even on the phone with her.

"Come home, I need you here" she says.

"Okay, can I come back over?

"Yes later"

He hangs up and gets up to leave.

"Cassidy, walk me out?"

"Okay." I say as I get up to walk him to the porch.

We get to the door and I don't want him to go. I want him to stay here and hold my hand.

"You'll be back right?"

He chuckles.

"Yes ill be back. I promise."

"Okay, see you later."

I watch him walk out the door and I go inside.
