Chapter 2
"Is this what love feels like?"
Oh, great! P.E., one of the worst classes ever! One of the biggest reasons is, everytime I run either my shoes are untied or I just fall flat on my face. Anoter reason is because I tend to run to FAST. I cant just to a brisk jog. Its is because of my speed and my lack of grace that I trip frequently The P.E. teacher says to do an easy run, which he thinks is twelve minutes, but really i always run it in seven.
Anywho. As im changing into my P.E. uniform, i hear one of the girls mention Jackson."Oh yeah, He has brothers too. All of them are as hott as he is." Typical...I sighed and headed torwards the was i thinking? I was never going to get a guy like that!
I am staring at my feet not really paying attention to my surrounding. Why am i letting this get to me? I sighed again. "Something worng?" I jumped and turned around. Oh wow! it was him. Wait, why am i so excited? For heavens sake! What is happening to me?!
"Oh well no, Why do you ask?" That sounded way to..whats the word?...Um, well lets just go with adultish. I smiled, knowing if i laughed he would look at me funny. He probably thought i was a freak anyway."Well you seemed a bit down walking in here. To be honest, I think your really pretty, and that frown of yours didn't really match. Did that just make the least bit of sense. Im sorry, I don't usually..I'm not usually" His face scrunched up. Aw..How cute, i was debating whether or not to finish his statement. "Your not usually..At a loss for words?" I smiled. "Yes. Well apparently you don't I see." He smiled back. If only the coach didn't blow that whistle for his class to congregate towards him. "Well see you later. Whens your lunch?" His face looked hopeful. Please be seventh, "I have seventh." Relief washed over his face,and i saw that big toothy grin of his that just made my heart want to melt. "Good. See you there." Thank the goddess.
Ok, now I just need to suffer through three more periods. They are going to be long and practically unbearable, just because I want them to fly by. Sighing I head outside to rum my warm up lap around the feild. I again concentrated on not tripping. I started "jogging," suddenly he was beside me. "Well I was kinda counting on having time to prepeare what i was going to say, but guess this will do." Again with that toothy grin. Just looking at him made you think he was walking not running. Then again it to little to no effort for me to run like this. It would take some time getting used to this.
Every single guy that would try to hit on me in P.E would be so out of breath that they couldnt say anything by the time they reached me. Being fast was a definite plus when it came to boys, Jackson wasnt a boy thougb. I could tell. He was so much more than that. For some odd reason, nothign else mattered but Jackson. In just aninstant he was the center of my world. I just hoped that he felt the same way. This may sound cheesy to you, but i could kind of feel it in my bones that he was the one.
My bones could of been wrong. Well, lets jsut hope (i've been doing a lot of that lately.)
He didnt really talk the rest of the period. Wich teh teachers decided that it was just going to be an open period to do whatever we wanted. Except for illigal things of course. We just sat next to each other on the stairs. I occasionally glanced over his way. His expression was always calm. There ws no actual need for words, and i liked that fact. I could also feel him look at me when i wasnt. Everybody gets that feeling. Like someone's looking at you. I smiled teh biggest smile I think i could possibly make. I even showed my teeth. That no matter what I did were always white. I even tried not brushing my teeth for a couple of weeks. Then I I felt like a slob, so I broke down and brushed them. Everything about my appearance made guys faen over me. I hated it. I hated it with a burning passion. There was a lot of other beatiful girls in this school. They may not be that pretty on the outside, but they are gorgeous on the inside. It just made my insides churn everytime i heard a guy spout out a pick up line towrards me.
The bell rang, he gave me a hug (wich suprised me), and left.
Although, oddly enough, time just flew. Everything just looked like a blur. Because I was walking torwards the lunchroom, and I had no clue how i got there. I usually sit with Jen and the girls, So i had to go tell them i was ditching their table. Jen glared at me, "You are going to go to my house after school. We are going to do our World studies project and you are going to tell me all about him. Dont lie to me Alexis. I know you are sitting with a boy, and from what I hear it is a very hott boy. How in the world did you get Jackson Barnett? Oh nevermind dont answer that. Go sit with him and tell me what happens later." "Is there anything else you would like m'am" I commented. She glared at me and pointed her finger to the table where Jackson was sitting. Oh boy. I walked over there nervously.
