New love

One

I wake up, only to remember the night before my boyfriend had just broken up with me after admitting to cheating on me, with my BEST FRIEND.

I feel sick. everything about last night was awful in every way imaginable.

But I had to push through because I had to go to school.

Ugh I hate Mondays.

I slowly remove my blanket off of me revealing the cold air surrounding my room, I place my feet onto the ground as I sit up and rub my eyes.

Once I'm fully awake I get up and head to my bathroom and take a quick shower.

Once I get out of the shower I get dressed and do a light, natural makeup look, then I head downstairs to see my mom making pancakes, eggs, and bacon.

Yum.

I walk up to her and give her a hug as I sit down at the table and she hands me my plate.

I eat my food and get my backpack as I put my shoes on and run out the door due to me being already late for school.

"I love you mom! See you after school" I yell to her as I run out the door

"I love you too sweetie!" She yells back.

I get in my car and start driving.

Finally, I arrive at school.

I'm trying to keep my mind off of what happened last night as best as I can but I really liked him.. and worst of all I trusted him.

I get out of my car and race to the front door of my school.

I head to my class.

As I open the door my teacher says "you're late"

"I know I'm sorry mrs. smith, I woke up a little late" I apologize

"It's fine just don't let it happen again" she warns.

I take my seat, but who is sitting in the seat next to me looks.. unfamiliar?

"Oh, hi I'm Jackson" he says as I must've been staring at him.

"Oh I'm sorry, I'm nova!" I give him a slight smile as we make eye contact and shake hands.

"Why are you guys talking?" Mrs. smith questions.

"Uh we-" I try to say but get cut off by Jackson.

"I was introducing myself to nova" he looks at me and back at the teacher and glances a slight smile.

"Alright just be quiet" she replies seeming frustrated.

After the bell rings I get out off my seat and head out the door but get stopped my Jackson stepping in front of me.

"Uh hi?" I giggle and wonder why he's standing in front of me.

"Sorry" he says moving aside so we can continue walking. "I was wondering what your doing later today?" He questions.

"Hmm we just met.. Jackson, are you asking me out" I say jokingly and smirk at him, then giggle.

"No I- I just was wondering if you wanted to hang out" he gives a nervous laugh.

"Yeah, I'd love to" I smile.

We're at lunch and we're sitting next to each other, just talking.

"So.. what's your favorite color?" He asked not knowing what else to say.

I giggle "Blue, how about you?"

"Green or blue for sure" he replies.

*idk if that's right pls don't attack me*

"I like green too but blue is for sure my all time favorite" I smile

"Hmm interesting" he says sarcastically while observing and taking in my facial features.

"Not really" I laughs.

He laughs as well.

The bell rings for my second class which I surprisingly have with Jackson as well.

But I mean no complaints ;)

"We have this period together too?" He asks.

"I guess so" I say as we walk into the class and sit next to each other.

The whole class me and Jackson just give each other small glances and oml bUtTeRfLiEs.

I know I just met him but i don't know how to explain it he is just.. perfect.

Well so far.

I was looking down at my hands as I Fidel my thumbs when the teacher says

"Nova!" Calling on me to answer the question he just asked the class.

"Yes mr. green?" I reply not knowing what's going on.

Partly not paying attention, partly knowing anything about history.

"Who were the top five female historical figures that fought for women's rights?" He asks me knowing I wasn't paying attention.

"I'm sorry mr. green i dont-" i start but get cut off by Jackson.

"Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Alice Paul, mr. green" I smiles at me as he answers the question that I couldn't.

"Thank you.. nova?" Mr. green rolls his eyes and walks up to the board continuing the lesson.

"Hey thank you for that." I whisper to him.

"No problem" he whispers back and smirks.
