The Bachelor Girl

Just in the Shadows. It's just another normal school day at West Valley High. After the very exhausting lab work in Biology, Jamie rushes down to the gym to get ready for her dance cheer practice. "Sorry guys I'm late. I Needed to scrub those floors after our experiment got out of hand. Anyways, are you ready?… still tying her shoelace. "HEY Jamie… look at the corner for a second. Isn't he cute? I talked to him yesterday and he seems to be a sweet guy. What do you think? Angel asks with her smile reaching her eyes. " Oh Angel, you're so naive. Didn't you know? Guys give their best foot forward. And I don't find him that cute, well at least for me." Sorry. Angel just shrugged what Jamie said. She's used to her friend being so frank. "OK girls... in your position" That's the que to end their discussion. But at the back of Jamie's mind… is the fact that she doesn't want to hurt her friend. That guy Brandon has been secretly sending her text messages for a week now. At first, she's just reading his texts.. but she really finds him with lots of sense of humor. And so she sees herself responding to him and laughing at his minor jokes. "Do I like him?" Jamie asks herself. Lost at the thought, she suddenly tripped… spraining her ankle. "Didn't you said to focus on the dance? Your mind is somewhere else. And now look.. " Come let's go to the clinic. " Angel jumped to her side. "But we need to finish this routine on time." Go to your places and let's have one last practice. I'll just stay here and watch." Jamie being the hard headed one refused to go. They need to win the competition, her name is on stake. She couldn't bear the thought of losing and being the talk of the campus. Jamie the Loser. As they walked passing through the other side of the room, two eyes followed them. Brandon at the corner got caught up. He doesn't know what to do. He almost flies to her side when he remembers her text message… "DON'T APPROACH ME IN SCHOOL. I JUST WANT US TO BE LIKE THIS." He stayed sitting down, fist clenched as he argued with himself. "WHY? Why can't I be with her? What's wrong with that? We need to talk. I don't want to be in the shadows. And so he thinks of a way… I will surprise her!!! 7:00 PM. "Dinner is ready." Jamie's mom calls everyone in the house. "Jamie… jamie… come on, let's eat! I cooked your favorite. Jamie….!!! %×&@*!% Mom, I heard you, I said I'm coming. She shouted angrily at her mother. She doesn't want to.. but she's feeling uneasy! Her hands are cold and her heart is pounding like crazy.. and she doesn't know why! She sat quietly… smelling and feeling the heat on her face… her mouth devouring that cheesy,meaty and HOT…Lasagna! *Dingdong* the doorbell rings. Jamie get the door please. Says her Mom. " Grrrrr… not now! Who the hell is it? Jamie is so pissed because she wanted to eat already. And for Jamie..eating is solemn. And that's her favorite for Christ sake… and now someone is interrupting them. She stood up with heavy feet and got to the door… And there stood another cheesy, meaty and HOT… To be Continued..
