As I walk into my first class i see that there is a new girl, she has short hair, it's shaved on the sides and shiny dark blue on the top. She is wearing a white V-neck and ripped black jeans, it fascinates me and I can't stop staring. Maybe she felt me staring because she looks up and meets my eyes, she smirks and winks. I am normally a relaxed person, I am always the one that leaves other people flustered and now this girl I never met before has this effect on me. I end up blushing and quickly walk to my seat, which is -of course- next to her. I grab my books and try to pay attention but my mind keeps wondering to the beautiful girl that is sitting beside me, I look over to her and see she is drawing. It is a drawing of girl with long blond hair and the most blue eyes I have ever seen, but the girl is crying and seeing it instantly makes me sad.
'So she looks gorgeous, she has confidence and she can draw, this girl must become my friend' I think to myself. In meantime I am staring again and the class has ended, she sees me staring.
And again she smirks "do I have something on my face"
"N-no" I stutter.
"Good" she says "you coming?" And she walks to the door, I grabs my books and follow her. She waits for me to catch up and together we walk to the next class, "what's your name" she asks
I could slap myself, I didn't even tell her my name. But she didn't tell me her name either. "Alex" I say, trying to sound as relaxed as possible.
"Nice to meet you Alex, I'm Piper" is her response.
We walk to the next class, talking
P: "tell me something about yourself"
Me: "I'm an only child, I don't have a father. He's not in the picture, I have one good friend and I think you'll like her."
P: "what else do I need to know about you?"
I kept telling her things about me and when we walked into class I realized that I had been talking all that time and I still didn't know anything about Piper.
The rest of the day is a blur, I didn't see Piper during lunch break nor did I see her after school. I figure she has to work right after school, So I go home and make my homework, I still can't seem to keep Piper out of my mind and it is annoying me.
next day:
I walk to school, I'm a little early and I don't see many other students. I should've taken the bus, it's way too cold to walk outside. When I'm almost there I hear a motorcycle approach, I love them and I always wanted one for my own. I turn around and see a white Ducati, it slows down and stops beside me. The driver takes of her black helmet and it's Piper, at this point Piper can't get any cooler in my eyes. and Jesus she looks hot in that leather jacket, I let my eyes roam over her body.
"Wanna ride?" She asks, she is asking if "I want to sit behind her and wrap my arm around her while sitting on the coolest motorcycle I have ever seen, of course I want a ride!" Piper starts to laugh and my face turns red "I just said that out loud didn't I"
"Yes you did, hop on"
I sit behind Piper and she starts the beast, the way to school is a lot shorter then I wanted it to be. I could sit on that bike for hours, but we have to go to school, sadly. after Piper put her bike in the garage we walk to class
Me: "what kind of bike is it?"
P: "it's a Ducati 595 panigale"
Me: "you got it from your parents?"
P: "nope, I bought it with the money I earned with my job"
Me: "you a drug dealer or something"
P: "not anymore"
Me: "what!?"
P: "just kidding, you'd believe anything I say"
Me: "that's because I don't know what to expect, I don't know anything about you"
P: "you want to know more? Ask me almost anything"
Me: "okay, ehm... what's your favourite colour?"
Piper laughs "that is your question, after I told you to ask me anything. Well if you really wanna know" she points to her hair "it's blue"
Her nonchalance and the fact that she is right that is was indeed a stupid questions makes me chuckle. "So it's your turn now right?"
"Yeah, are you gay?"
"Yes, although I am curious why you asked that"
"Is that your question?"
"I guess"
"Okay, I wanted to know that because I might take you to a party at Ruby's and in our crew everyone is gay, you'd stand out."
Piper stops next to a door and waves goodbye "this is my first period, I'll see you later"
"Bye" I say, I realize I still don't know anything about Piper but I feel like I know her and I know she is a lesbian that has a motorcycle, can draw, has blue hair and might be a party animal.
In our school Piper is well known, she is 'the one with the blue hair' and Piper could get many friend really easy. I am glad she isn't like that though, I'm guessing she grew up in a rich family and her parents are now paying for her apartment. That is the only way she could possibly save up for her bike, at least I think.
Later that day I get a text from an unknown number
I couldn't find you so I asked around and got this number, I'm gonna kill that dude if he gave me the wrong number.
I laugh, that must be Piper. I respond right away, deciding to prank piper for a bit.
ยปhey! So I gave you my number because I thought you were hot. The name's Larry btw
you know I can see you standing there texting some person, Alex
I look up and see Piper walk up to me, she's smirking. God I love it when she smirks...
Pipers voice snaps me out of my thoughts "what I wanted to offer you was that I can pick you up in the morning and give you a ride to school"
I am surprised but I would love to "yeah I'd like that"
"Nice, text me your address. I have to go to work now but I'll see you tomorrow." And with that Piper walks away again.
I notice that I'm looking forward to the next morning.
When I get home I call Nicky
"Yo Nicky"
"Hi Vause, what sup"
"You know that new girl"
"The hot one with the blue hair"
"Yeah, she is in almost all of my classes and we got talking"
"You fallin' for her stretch? Cause if you are I have to talk to her"
"I don't know Nick, I honestly don't know"
And I don't, I really don't know what it is with Piper but I do know I want to try whatever this is.
The next morning:
A knock on my door snaps me out of my thoughts, I look at my watch and see it's too early. I open the door and see Piper standing on the other side, her lip is busted and she has a black eye. "Jesus Christ what the fuck happened to you!"
"Good morning to you to" is her response, Piper sounds chippy. "Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sorry" I step to the side and Piper walks in, she is looking around my apartment as I walk back to my breakfast. "You want some" I point to my plate, piper shakes her head. "Are you going to tell me what happened?" I ask
Piper sights "it's my job"
"What do you do"
"That's a story for another time"
"Why do you always avoid my questions"
"Because if I answer one question other questions will follow and I don't like answering questions"
"Okay, whatever the fuck you want" I decide to leave it for now. I quickly finish eating and put on my jacket, Piper hands me a helmet.
"It's my old helmet, you thought I was gonna drive you around without one" she puts her finger on her forehead, showing me just how crazy I am. I laugh and take the helmet, we walk to the motorcycle in silence and drive to school in silence. I step if the bike and ask "can you drop me off at the end of the day?", piper shakes her head "I'm not going to school today Alex. I mean, have you seen my face... I don't like answering questions, always remember that. Have fun today"
I see a sadness in her eyes that I have never seen before and it worries me, I want to ask about it but I remember what Piper just said; I don't like answering questions, always remember that. So I don't ask, I just thank her and watch as she takes off. This is going to be a long day.
