One More Minute With Him

New Guy

I’ve been in the shower for ten minutes now. I woke up an hour before the time that I get up every other morning. No one else was up yet. After ten more minutes I got out and got dressed. It looked like it was going to rain. The clouds were black. I walked out of my closet and grabbed my phone. It was from Kaylee saying that she and Cody weren’t even in town. That meant no ride to school. Well it was a good thing I woke up an hour before. I really fast did my makeup and grabbed jacket and book bag.

After ten minutes of walking I broke into a run.  I pulled out my IPod. I was looking down at the ground. Three cars pasted me.  I looked up to see a jeep that looked like Brandon’s past but it wasn’t. The rest of the run/ walk to school was calm. I got to the light right in front of the school. My favorite song was playing Stay With Me by You Me At Six. Once in the school I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls from Brandon and Kaylee, three texts. I looked down the hall to see that no one was here yet.  Looking at the time to see that it was only eight, school didn’t start tell eight-forty? I turned and started for the front doors when I run into the Queen Bee Michelle. What was she doing here at this time? I looked down and turned my back to her. I walked to the second floor to put my books in my locker.

I had time to go eat but I hated the school food, so that meant going back down to the first floor and maybe running into Michelle. Oh well? I think it will be okay. I walked back down the stairs. I didn’t see her so that was a good sign. I got to the front door and pushed them open coming face to face with a boy that was on the football team. How I knew this well because of his jacket. I slammed right into. Big and bad move. I fell to the ground like a dork. I stayed there thinking he was just going to walk past me. After a few seconds I looked up to see a hand out. His hand.

“Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t think anyone would be here at this time of morning. Are you hurt?” He asked. I looked at him. He was smiling. Something was up I thought to myself.

He was still looking at me. Crap I most like I’m stupid or something. “Umm. No I’m not hurt. Kind of shocked.”

“Why are you shocked?” He asked confused.

“Well for starters-” I grabbed his hand. “You are a football player at school forty minutes early. You’re talking to me.” I looked down at my outfit. I was good. No wet spots, dirt, nothing. I looked back up at him. He had Black hair with a blue piece in it. It was long. And straight. That was weird. I don’t think I have ever since him around.

“Nice hair.” I wanted to slab myself. What did I just do? Did I just tell him nice hair?  

“Thanks. I did it about a week ago.” He said then adds. “So why are you shocked because I’m talking to you?” 

“Well you’re a football player like I said and because I’m not in to cool crowd so I’m shocked because you shouldn’t be talking to me. You would be looked down on if you were to be seen talking to me.”

“Really now. Well if that is true then I should hide and talk to you.”He smiled.

“Or have it be easier on you I walk always and go get something to eat and you go on into school and do whatever it is you were going to do.” I started walking about him.

“I was just going to look into so homework but I guess I’ll see you around, might say hi or something. You never know.” I didn’t look back when he said that.                                                                                                                                                      

I walked into the coffee shop and got a peppermint mocha and a muffin. Once I paid I walked to a table. The door open and the same kid that I ran into walked in. I smile to myself.  I don’t know why I did but oh well. I watched him order his coffee. The girl was flirting with him while she made it. He was cute after all.  Wait I can’t think about it or him. I like Brandon and to me something seemed up.  He turned and started for the door. He stops with his hand on the door handle. He turned around with a shocked look on his face.

“I didn’t know that you came to this coffee shop. What are the odds? Huh?” He said as he walked to the table I was sitting at.

“And I know that you don’t come here. I’m betting that this is your first time even stepping foot in here.”

“Second you would lose that bet.”

“Why is that?”

“Because this is the second time I’ve been in here.” He smiled.

“I see well have a good day.”

I thought with that he would leave but he sat down.

“So beautiful what’s your name?” So he is up to something. That or he is just a flirt.

“So you’re a flirt. I see well you’re just going to have to find out what my name is through someone else at our school.”

“I’m not a flirt. Well much, I only flirt with girl that I think are good looking and well you’re not just that your Beautiful. “

“That’s where you’re wrong. I might have to looks but I’m nothing to the popular girls.”

“You’re right you’re more than that. And you’re not a b***h like they are. Like Michelle. She think she all that because she dating Brandon. But I think at the rate they are going he is going to leave her. He should too. He can do way better.” He took a tip of his coffee.  And I smiled.

“So what’s your name?” I asked.

“Well no name well should I tell you?”

“Because I would like to know what your name is.”

“Here let me see your phone.” Pulling my phone out I handed it to him.
