Chapter 2 Sage
The rush of the cool air and the smell of sneakers fill my lungs, another school year. I tugged slightly at my brand new shirt that I picked out especially for the new year. I was finally in 8th grade and I was paranoid. When I finally settled in homeroom I saw him. My dream boy, the hottest of the hots, Jake. Gosh I was just taking in his beauty to help fill those empty summer days when I thought I was going to die if I didn't see him soon. And now the day was here and I couldn't stop looking at him. Of course I didn't see my friend Rose come over to me just as I was staring at him and she took my by surprise.
Nothing will ever compare to the pain I felt for Rose when she caught her boyfriend cheating on her. Gosh she just never stopped crying for weeks. She is one of those pretty girls that you look at twice because they are one of a kind. But for some reason she doesn't think that. She thinks of herself as just a normal 8th grader that wished to have thin blonde straight hair. But no matter what I tell her she won't believe me that she is special and she could date any guy in the school that she wanted to. But of course her being Rose she wants a relationship that's deep and romantic. So when I turned around to take another look at Jake in homeroom I saw this new kid with these bright green eyes and dark brown hair looking right at Rose. He didn't turn his head or laugh he just looked at her with that look that you know he is the one. So when I see Rose coming towards me in homeroom to probably tell me off I stop her and show her the guy that was looking at her and I swear they just starred at each other for like hours on end and I knew it. They were meant to be together. Gosh I wish Jake would look at me like that. If he just opened his eyes I could show him that I truly love him and that nothing would break us apart. What am I talking about, love? Naaah, but a crush, that's for sure.
So it was fourth period and I was pretty pissed off because who likes the first day of school and I was tired so just as I rounded the corner I smashed right into someone and my and his books flew across the floor. Oh gosh, I say in my head. Rose's klutziness is contagious. And this is how it went down.
I said "Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going and I'm kinda tired but who isn't on the first day of school right?"
And he said, "No it wasn't your fault. I'm a clutz."
And then I looked up and he looked up and guess who it was? Yes you know, Jake. And I swear for like 4 seconds we just starred into each others eyes. His eyes were a deep blue that you could get lost in for hours. But the way he looked at me I couldn't shake. He kind of half smiled and just looked at me like we were the only two people there. And he turned away just as the bell rang and his cheeks turned pink. And then he got up and said sorry to me one more time and then as he walked away he brushed my arm and I thought I would explode right then and there.
