I awake to a loud beeping in my ears. I open my eyes and quickly slide the alarm off on my phone. I set it for six. I close my eyes and allow my self to adjust to waking up. After a few minutes of silently laying with my eyes closed, I sigh and flung the blanket off of my body and step onto my cold hard wood floor. I grab my clothes from my dresser. A pink crop top with the words "Love God" written across, and my white Miss Me jeans I got at the mall yesterday. I turn my straightener on and lotion my legs.
After I put my clothes on I grab my shoes and my back pack off of the ground and quickly make a toaster strudel. I sit in my chair waiting for my food to be done. I frown at my phone as I get a message.
Kacie- "Don't forget to get a pack of gum before school. Love you.xoxo!" I always get a text from her in the morning. Pop! I jump as the toaster pops my toaster strudel out. I get up as head towards my car, chewing on my breakfast.
After I get Kacie's gum, I pull into the high school parking lot. I look up to see two people making out by the school doors. Taylor Caniff. Taylor is the high school hot guy, he's a player, and rumor has it that he has hit on every girl who will look at him. His parents are loaded, and he has no care in the world about any body but himself.
I groan and walk into the building. The two eating each others faces don't even notice that I am here. I walk down the hall and wait at Kacie's locker, as I do every day. We have been best friends since we were little. As I'm waiting I see Taylor split apart from his girl. From what I know, the girl is Hannah. She often is seen with Cameron, even though Tonie is dating him. Hannah is always with a different guy. She gets all the guys with her good looks and her pretty, flowy hair. As I watch Taylor strut down the hall, he passes me. He looks at me, straight into my eyes and winks. A flutter of butterflies flies though my body. But why? I never liked him, sure he's mouth watering but I had always though of him as a Player. Nothing more, nothing less. Then I see him walking down and he turns his head. He smirks at me, as I probably look like an idiot drooling over him. Standing there, I watch as he walks out of the school doors. For what seems like hours I stand there watching the hallway. I hear a voice.
"Kayla?" Says my best friend. But I can't move, I want to drop to my back and cry, or laugh?
"Wake up? Hello?" Says Kacie. Finally I snap out of it and begin walking With her to class.
But as I get into the lesson, I can't stop thinking about Taylor. The way he winked. The way my stomach exploded with butterflies. But why? When did I discover these feelings? I usually hate his guts. He's just a player looking for a slutty girl to go to bed with. All I can ask myself is: Why?
