I felt a pain running through my chest, as Julia sat on it.
"Wakey wakey, sleepy head!" she exclaimed as she got off me. I rolled over onto my stomach, and shoved my face into my pillow, groaning.
"Come on Eli! It's the first day at our new school, and we have to be on time," she told me. I let out a long, slightly loud groan, pretty much telling her to go away.
"I will pull your bare ass out of this bed if I have to," she said. I didn't even have to see her to know that she had crossed her arms. She grabbed my wrist tightly, and began pulling me off the bed.
"I'm getting up, Julia," I told her, picking my face up from my pillow.
"Good," she said, then let go of my wrist. I began getting up from my bed and Julia walked out of the bedroom, which we shared most nights. I opened a drawer and pulled out a grey shirt and I found a pair of dark skinny jeans off the floor. I put them one, and saw my leather jacket hanging on the edge of my dresser. I walked over to it, and looked at myself in the mirror as I slid the jacket on. I heard the door open behind me, and I saw Julia in the mirror. She came up behind me, resting her arms on my shoulders, and kissing me on the cheek. I sigh.
"This is a new start for us, Eli. I won't get anymore dirty looks in the hallways, and you won't be known as the creepy Emo kid anymore. Things will get better for us." I grab her hands, and gently pull them towards my chest. I lift one of her hands and kiss it gently.
"I'm pretty sure I'll still be known as 'Emo Kid' no matter where I go to school," I said
"Well, that's because of the way you dress. Back there, it meant something totally different, and you know that," she said.
"I know. But it's hard to run from your past," I said. We just stood in front of the mirror for a minute, in silence.
"We should go," she whispered. I responded with a simple "okay." We grabbed our backpacks, headed downstairs, and out the front door. We climbed into the hearse and I began driving to our new school.
"Can you drop me off at the front entrance?" Julia asked me, as we pulled into the school.
"You can't just wait like 5 seconds to let me park, then we can walk in together?" I asked.
"Eli. Please. Just drop me off at the entrance. I want to get into the principals office ASAP."
"Fine," I said, after releasing a sigh.
I drove up to the front entrance, and she got out of the car. As soon as she began walking up to the steps of the school, I pulled away. After a few seconds, I hear the buzz of my cell phone. I pull my cell from the cup holder, and quickly looked at the message.
Julia: HURRY UP!
As I rolled my eyes, I heard a squeal from the sidewalk. I look out the window to see two girls wide eyed, they were staring at my back tires. I stopped the car, and step out to see what they were looking at. I saw that I had run over a pair of glasses. I picked them up from under my car.
"I think they're dead," I say, not really knowing who I'm talking to.
"It's fine, I don't need them anymore," one of them, a redhead, said, "I got… laser eye surgery." This girl was gorgeous. She wasn't the type of girl that would usually even take a second look at, but there is something about this girl. I was so preoccupied at how beautiful she was, that I let "You have pretty eyes," slip from between my lips. Immediately, I mentally scolded myself the second after I said that. Julia would have killed me if she found out about it.
"Thanks," she said, and then paused briefly before saying "I'll see you around?"
"I guess you will," I said, before going back into my car, and driving to find a parking spot. I knew it was wrong of me to think like that about a girl, other than the girlfriend I've had for almost two years, but in all honesty, lately, I had been feeling differently about Julia than I usually did. I didn't really know who changed, but one of us did. Don't get me wrong, I still loved Julia, I just didn't know how strong the relationship was, I don't know how to explain it, but it just felt, wrong.
Okay, so this is the first chapter of a new story. I know it's like the third story I have going on now, but it popped into my head, and I had to write it. I will be kind of slow to update it, I know that already, but I have part of it written, and I kind of like where it's going so far. Anyways, Review to make me feel happy :)
