Chapter Two
Sarah's p.o.v.
When I woke up at 6:00 a.m. I tried my best to avoid my father at all costs. I made him pretty mad last night trying to sneak out. It wasn't the first time he caught me, but I guess he's tired of me trying. I didn't care about being quiet going past his room and down the stairs. He deserves it for not letting me go out with Alex.
I was taking out a bowl from the cupboard when I heard him come down the stairs. I tried to keep my anger to myself.
"Good morning." He yawned scratching the back of his head. I stayed silent.
"Oh come on you're still mad 'bout last night." He said smirking. "It's not my fault that you're not quiet." At this I turned around and glared at him. His humor went away immediately and he glared back.
"WHY. CAN'T. I. DATE. ALEX?!" I stated grinding my teeth together. And holding onto the counter.
"Because, he's too old for you."
"He's only a half a year older!"
"No." He sat down and looked at me. "You do know why I'm mad at you, don't you?"
"Why? Just because I tried to sneak out? You of ALL people should know that I'm not good at that."
"I'm mad because YOU haven't learned your lesson yet." He almost yelled this out.
"Fine." I said as calmly as I could. "I'm going to school." I turned toward the backdoor and slammed it. I think I heard 'I love you to!' Behind me but didn't care. My father had gotten on my nerves enough today.
-School-
When I arrived to school I started toward the lunch room. Alex and I decided that would be the best place to meet because it's not that crowded in there. I spotted him in the farthest corner of the lunch room. I waved to him and he waved back. As I got closer to the table he was at I noticed something black around his eye. When I reached him I gasped as I realized what happened. He got a black eye.
"Alex. What happened to your face?" I said sitting down with a look of shock on my face.
"You wanna take a guess at that?" He said pointing to his black eye.
"Your father?"
"Bingo. He got me pretty hard when I tried to sneak out. I almost got out to!"
"Did you try putting ice on that?" I asked concerned. I know that some guys don't mind pain, but to us girls it looks like it hurts.
"Nope."
Right at that moment the bell had rung. I moaned and let my head fall to the table. I hated that stupid bell. All it meant was that I didn't get to see Alex until 3:00. We both got up and he leaned over and kissed me on my cheek. I blushed a little.
"See ya after school Sarah!" He said waving as he moved toward his class.
It was 8th block and five minutes until 3:00. I sighed and looked away. This school day was too long. Every time I wanted to do something fun the day went by slowly, but when I was bored to death it would get by fast. I blamed karma for this.
Finally the bell rang throughout the school. I practically jumped out of my seat and grabbed my bag. I went toward the door and opened it. I looked into the hall full of students happy to be going home. I looked and looked for him but couldn't find him. I went outside and had no luck. I folded my arms and sighed. I then felt someone's hand on my right shoulder. I looked behind me and hugged him.
"I thought you left already." I said not letting go.
"Sarah? Why in the world would I leave?"
"I dunno." I said to happy that school was out.
He looked down at me and said, "Usual place at the park?"
"Yes. Remember 5:30 sharp!"
He leaned toward me. I knew he was going to kiss me and I wanted him to. Before he kissed me I heard my name. "Sarah Fisher! What in God's name are you doing?"
Alex also heard his name being called. "Alex! Get away from her now!!"
We both froze immediately. Behind Alex I saw his father and behind me Alex saw my father. I turned around and looked at my father with the meanest glare I could come up with.
