New story! I swear I will finish my other one soon but at the moment it is too hard for me. Anyway, I hope you readers don't hate me and enjoy this story. Hopefully there are none other like this out there.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why life is so complicated? According to all of my friends, my life isn't complicated at all. It is just normal teen drama in a normal public school; but to me… life wasn't just complicated it was so much more.
"Dawn?" I blinked as a hand was violently being flashed in and out of my vision. I looked to my left, and of course it belonged to Misty. I was now sitting at the lunch table with her, May and Zoey. We were all talking about some Japanese drama before I zoned out… again. "Dawn, are you paying attention? Or are you too busy staring at Paul again?" Misty asked. Her smile was very devious, and the other girls at the table giggled.
"I wasn't looking at him," I defended. Lies… I was looking at him. I chose this seat mainly so I could get a good look at him. He was sitting over with his two friends, Ash and Drew. Well that is if you could call them friends. In my eyes, it was more of acquaintances, but hey, it was the closest thing he had. Paul was now lying on the full half of the bench with his wispy, lavender locks dangling from his face and four french fries hanging out of his mouth; reading a book. I knew I paid way too much attention to him. However that was obvious… I mean who else notices how many french fries are in other people's mouths? I glanced back up as I heard more giggles. I was pretty sure it was because of my recently growing attention deficit disorder. "Hey, he is just a little hot." I whispered sheepishly. I tried to hold back but I could feel the blush tinting my cheeks.
"Yeah, the way he never smiles all the time explains it all," Zoey muttered sarcastically. This caused another round of giggles from the table.
"Oh well don't forget his charming personality. He is so popular; can't you tell by all of his friends?" Misty added. Once again everyone laughed. This just made my face redder; it was as if they didn't understand that this color wasn't supposed to be there.
"Aw, don't pick on her. He doesn't look bad, also all guys don't have to have a thousand friends," May defended. I smiled sheepishly, finally someone understood. I glanced up just in time to see May fidget with her hands; never a good sign. "Although, I have to admit, you two might be a little to opposite to make a good couple," she stated. I groaned and shoved some of the overly salty cafeteria fries into my mouth.
"I am going to the bathroom," I muttered before grabbing my tray and heading to the trash can. I tried to ignore the apologetic looks that the girls were giving me. However, it made me feel a little nice to see their remorse. Unfortunately, by glancing from the corner of my eye I wasn't necessarily paying attention, which explained how I ended up on the floor. "Sorry," I chirped.
"Troublesome," Paul grunted. It was one of my most popular nicknames from him. A list of others included, "Dummy, Annoying, and Dusk." I was more than sure that he made up the last one just to piss me off since he never calls me by my name.
"Sorry," I yelped once more. I stood up slowly and looked at him. I could feel the blush creeping back onto my cheeks and I tried my hardest to restrain it. He hissed his teeth and grunted before heading out of the hallway with me following close behind. I swore I could see fireworks. There were so many. All of the colors flashed brilliantly in my mind as I shuffled down the hall. I was so close to him… however with the ongoing silence; I could tell I was still so far away. I ran into something again, only this time I was rescued before I could hit the ground.
"Watch where you are going, annoying girl," Paul reprimanded. He then let go of my hand. I couldn't do too much of anything but stare. I had to admit myself that this was pretty bad. So I decided to play it cool for the time being and tried to answer.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Are you ok?" I asked. I groaned inside of my head. Of course he was alright; I was the one who almost fell. I looked from under my lashes to see him with one eyebrow cocked. "I am sorry for earlier too," I whispered. He grunted.
"Whatever," he muttered. I then watched him walk away, leaving me conveniently in front of the bathroom. I darted in and quickly splashed my face with the cool water. I then opened my tablet to my new web page. It was "Coordinator Central". It was slightly different from Misty's version of "Trainer's Post"; which was the adjunct part of the social network. All of the students in the school get entered into the system once enrolled and it makes it so anyone can interact with anyone else.
"I saw my crush again… no progress yet." I updated. I sighed briefly as the bell rung. I had to be to class on time today. If I was late anymore I would definitely get detention.
