New year, new me
"get up! you're going to miss the bus" I heard my mom shout from downstairs. My alarm clock reads 6:45. "Great! 15 minutes to get ready" I think as I get out of bed. its a new day, a new year. let's just say school hasn't been that great for me. I feel different this year. "beep beep" "Crap!" I've been day dreaming! I'm not ready yet! I have to look decent for the first day of my last year of higschool!
thankfully I have a fashion guru for a best friend. I quickly text Valerie "Fashion emergency" as I run out the door for the bus.
As I get to school I grab Valerie and pull her into the bathroom before anyone can see me. "what did you bring?" she laughs at me. We've been friends for 5 years, she knows I value the few extra minutes of sleep more than taking a few minutes to doll myself up. She is the complete opposite. Her hair and makeup is always perfect and she always has the most beautiful and colour coordinated outfits I have ever seen.
She pulls out a black T-shirt with a knot at the bottom allowing for just a bit of belly to show as well as her makeup bag and a brush. It takes her only 10 minutes to completely transform me into someone else. "perfect" we say at exactly the same time as we look in the mirror. "See you after 1st period" she says as she laughs and walks out the bathroom, I take one last look at myself before leaving the bathroom. I walk head-on into what feels like a rock solid wall shaped like a human being. That hurt. I look up to see what kind of i***t doesn't look where they're walking when I look into the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen in my life. My heart skipped a beat. "are you okay?" the sound is music to my ears. his hair messy and brown, he's wearing a tight white shirt and his lips. Oh, his lips "Uh, I guess I knocked you a little too hard there" he smirks. Oh no. How long have I just been standing here staring at this beautiful man. "N-no I'm okay. it's okay. Blair. me, I'm blair. Hi" I eventually let out. are you serious? THAT is what comes out of my mouth? the ground can just open up and swallow me right now.
He chuckles. "Hey, I'm Nick" he winks at me and continues walking to class. all the girls are staring at him. I dont blame them. he is so perfect he can't be real. Ugh, why bother a guy like that will never go for a girl like me.
**Nick's POV***
There she is. She looks like she just crawled out of bed but she is so beautiful. Heaven on earth. How am I going to introduce myself to her without looking like I've been watching her for the last 3 weeks. I had to be sure she is the one, its not like I'm a weird stalker or anything. I guess I have the whole day to figure that out, for now I need to give these transfer papers in.
I leave the schools office. Walking down the halls as a door opens and I walk straight into someone. Its her. This is my chance. "are you okay?" I ask her. my heart is racing. I can't believe I'm so close to her and she has no idea who I am. who she is. rather, what she is. she's not speaking , did I hurt her? does she know who I am? "I guess I knocked you a little too hard there" I joke.
Finally she speaks, she seems nervous around me but its cute. I like it. "hey, I'm Nick" I say. I cant believe it was that easy. For weeks I have been trying to figure out how to speak to her. I carry on walking before I embarrass myself.
I knew since the moment I saw her that it was her. I wonder if she has any idea how powerful she really is. How powerful we are together.
