I pick Emily up from her house and she gets in the car, kissing my cheek in the process. I smile at her and drive to school.
I put my arm around her and we both walk over to our group, They all cheer and Anthony looks especially happy.
“Well well well, look who’s together.” He says, laughing.
I force a smirk and Emily kisses me, and giggles off with her friends.
Anthony pats me on the back and everyone else congratulates me. I feel uncomfortable by this but go with it.
“Yeah I’m happy, It’s cool.” I laugh.
“Mark’s party tomorrow, you ready to get fucked up?” Sam asks.
”Definitely!” I reply, feeling the need for a drink.
All the other jocks and other cheerleaders start gossiping and laughing about tomorrow night.
The bell goes and we all separate into our directions, Emily runs up to me and puts my arm around her and goes in the same direction.
I was happily walking but then I see him. He turns around from his locker and looks at me. I feel my face heat up and I suddenly pull away from Emily, his face is so.... wow. I think to myself then realise what I did, I was watching him for way too long So I look down back to Emily again and she smiles at me.
She kisses me as I leave her to go to her classroom and I enter my English class.
All English class I think about the boy again, I DONT EVEN KNOW HIS NAME! I feel awful and embarrassed on how I looked at him for so long. I feel like pulling my hair out. I really need that drink right about now.
At break I sat with the guys and some other cheerleaders with Emily included. She sat on my lap and we were all laughing.
”Emily I gotta go to the toilet, Ill be back.” I whisper to her, she kisses me and gets off.
”Ill be right back guys” I wave at them as I leave to go to the toilet.
After using the toilet I take the long way round to take some time to myself, I pass the library and look in to see him again.
He’s reading a book, alone, on one of the sofas. This made me feel so, bad? It made my heart ache so I made the split second decision to introduce myself to him.
I sit down opposite him and pick up a book.
“I like the book you’re reading” I whisper to him, hiding my face behind the book I had picked up.
“Me too, It’s a classic” He answers, he looks up from his book and frowns.
I look up from the book and see his confusion, I turn over the book and realise I picked up a spell book for witches. We laugh and I put it down on the table.
“Im not a wizard, I promise.” I wink at him and I thought I saw him go a small shade of red. “Anyway, My name is Evan” I put out my hand in a foolish attempt to make friends.
”My name is Jack” He smiles at me and takes my hand.
My mind suddenly flickers to Mark’s party.
“There’s a party this weekend at Mark’s house, everyone is coming, do you want to come?” I said, shifting in my seat.
”My friends are trying to make me go, I might come” He smiles.
”Why aren’t your friends here right now?” I tilt my head and sit back.
”Needed a bit of time to myself, Why aren’t you with your popular crowd?” He lifts his eyebrow in interest.
I stare at his facial expression for a little while, It felt perfect to stare into his eyes.
“Oh I um, I needed the toilet then saw you in here and wanted to make friends.” I looked down at my feet and back up to him.
He smiles.
I begin to get up but he stops me.
”I will come to the party” He looks up into my eyes and my heart fluttered.
“Good, be good to see you there.” I wink again and saunter off back to my friends, not without another glance back to him, picking up his book to read again.
Walking over, the bell goes suddenly and I roll my head, making the guys laugh and turn around. Emily came over by my side.
“Why were you gone so long?” She looks up at me.
”I uh I had to talk to a teacher about something.”
“Oh ok, Is everything ok?” She asks, worried.
”Yeah, peachy” I respond.
Why did I lie? It’s not like I did anything bad? Why do I feel guilty?
The rest of the day sucked, shitty classes on maths, History and Art. I just wanted to get home and Scream.
