Junior-high, ugh I hate that word. Everyday, is like a new struggle, trying to cope with harsh reality. I hate reality, so I spend most of my time with my nose in a book, taking me to fantasy worlds and lands. Today is the first day, and so far it sucks. I sit in my desk, at school, tapping my foot to the sound of the ticking clock on the wall. It's the first day of being a fucking eight grader, and so far, I am so done. It's felt like hours waiting for school to end, staring at the clock. The bell rings and I eagerly jump out of my seat, as the teacher dismisses us. I gather my bag and pile of books and head to the door. I start walking toward the door of the classrooms, when somebody trips me. I almost fall but catch myself. But all my books fall in front of a boy walking past. I hear the giggle of the girls behind me and instantly know that they tripped me. I turn around and say "At least I am not a stuck up, plastic, bitch." The head of the group Annie, shrugs and walks out the door with her bitchy posy following her. "You okay?" Asks the boy who has the books in front of him. I forgot he was there. "Okay, thanks." I say as I drop to the floor and start to pick up the books. "I'm Eric Matthews by the way." He say as he holds out his hand for me to shake. "I'm Audrey Tyler. I say as I take his hand to shake it, but he holds it a little too long, and I pull away awkwardly. He has straight brown hair that is gelled back, and hazel eyes. He is tall and has broad shoulders. I find it cute the way he smiles, and giddy personality. He also has that mischievous smile that spreads across his whole face when he grins. We walk out the door of the school, and as I walk away, he grabs my shoulder. I flinch, and turn around. He stretches out his hand and hands me a slip of paper. "Just in case." He says and he runs down the street, and disappears. I unfold the piece of paper, and it says: If you want to talk more, 141-577-8906 I smile to myself, and put slip of paper in my pocket, and start walking home. When I get to my house, I take out my key, and fiddle with the lock to open it. I get inside, and go upstairs to my bedroom. I pull my phone out of my pocket and start to text him "Fine then." I say as I text him. Hai - Audrey He immediately text back, as if he was waiting for me. Hey - Eric Sooo, what you do like to do? - Audrey Pretty girls, like you, jk- Eric Umm, I like everything disney-Eric Omg, me too! I responded smiling at his last comment. Who is the most attractive disney character?-Eric Hmmmm... Peter Pan. I texted back. I had a Peter Pan fetish since about 4th grade. If there was a boy who looked like Peter Pan, I would immediately kiss, and fall in love with him." I texted back giggling. I look like Peter Pan. -Eric Well, you have brown hair and hazel eyes..I suggested Would you kiss, and fall in love with me then?- Eric I hardly even know you! I texted back sheepishly. We'll you didn't say no, so maybe I have a chance...-Eric I gotta go, bye- Eric texted Bye - I texted back blushing. I couldn't believe I was talking to a boy, who was attractive, and who payed attention to me. I mean, he is cute, and has a fit body, and his eyes change from green to blue to brown every second. Oh no, I think I like him. It feels weird talking to a boy, I mean. It's like he's a fictional character that is easy to fall in love with, but he isn't fictional.
