Torn Between Two
Chapter 1
23...7...21.
Brianna had
opened up her locker at 7:45 AM. She only had 5 minutes to get to her
first class. Her friend Samanatha walks up to her and gives her a hug
from behind.
"Morning! How are you?" she says as she
begins to open up her locker, who's locker is right next to
Brianna's.
"I've been better," Brianna croaked. Her
voice was still a little hoarse.
"Couldn't sleep? Me either,"
Sam said as she stuffed her backpack in her locker.
"No. I
was talking to Zach last nig-" Brianna was explaining when Sam's
boyfriend Cody came up and gave her a hug. Brianna had always judged
her friend's boyfriends, mostly because she never thought they liked
her for her. Samantha is one of the really pretty girls at school,
but not a popular girl though. She is more in the middle, but yet the
really pretty one.
Sam begins to forget that Brianna is there though, and she just rolls her eyes and closes her locker and goes to her first class. This happens almost every morning, so she's used to it. She never had a really good conversation with her when her boyfriend comes.
As Brianna walks to her class, she sees Zach
coming her way. The night before she had told him how she had felt,
when he told her that he is in love with a girl named Jessie. Jessie
is in fact one of the popular girls. She doesn't have the best
personality, but of course, Zachary doesn't know that. He only
happens to like her because she is "pretty".
Her and
Zach make eye contact. He nods his head and says, "Sup, dawg?".
All she does is give a little fake smile and opens the door to her
first class, TechEd. As she walks into her class she continues to
look at Zach as he walks by. She watched his perfect self walk as she
knows that she can never have him. She keeps on walking when all of
sudden she stumbles back. She lands on her butt and everything that
was in her hands had slipped out. She had accidently ran into someone
in front of her.
"I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention..." She was explaining when she looks up to see who she had ran into. In front of her two eyes was a young boy, probably the same age as her, maybe a year older, with dirty blonde spikey hair. He was average built and really cute. He looked up at her and she stared into his beautiful brown eyes. He shook his head like he was a dog shaking off water, and he just smiled at her and simply said, "No need to be sorry. Here, let me get your stuff.".
He stands up and extends his hand out to her, offering to help her up. She accepts it and he pulls her up and she stumbles a little more and their faces were not even 5 inches away from each other. They stare at each other for a few seconds when he leans down to pick up her books. He comes back up and he hands them to her. She takes them out of his hands and he smiles and begins to walk by her. She turns around and says, "Wait!". He stops right there, with his hand on the handle, and turns around to look at her.
"What's
your name?" Brianna asks stupidly.
He chuckles a little bit,
and simply says, "Blake.".
