Hey guys. Thanks for the reviews. Sorry for the long wait. Here's chapter 3!
Cara's pov:
I wake up the next morning. After I take a shower, I look for my best outfit to wear. I wear my hot pink shirt with my blue skinny jeans that are sparkly. I put on my pink headband. I get up an hour early just to straighten my hair so I can wear it down. I then choose whether or not to wear my contacts or my glasses. I would wear my contacts, but my contacts sometimes irritate my eyes so I wear my pink glasses. I have like 5 pairs of glasses that are different colors. I put on my boots that have a 3 inch heel on them to make me a little taller so I don't have to look up to Max as much when I talk to him. I grab my bag and I head off to school. I see Bree standing by her locker.
"Hey Bree" I say.
"Hey. Hey! You straightened your hair!"
"I know" I reply pushing my hair behind my shoulder, "I got up an hour early just to straighten it. Does it look ok?"
"Of course it does Cara."
"It better. I'm asking Max today."
"YOU ARE? OMG girl I am so proud of you. Now I know you're a little scared and nervous but I just know he'll say yes!"
"You really think so?"
"I know so!"
"Even if I'm a nerd and he's popular?"
"Cara! You are NOT a nerd. You may not be as popular as Max, but don't go by that. Who's so important at this school that they can label who's popular and who's not?"
"Well….I guess nobody is…"
"See? Just ask him. Please. You're killing me right now!"
"Ok. I'll ask him after school."
"YEAH!" We laugh and head off to our classes. At the end of the day, I search and search for Max, but I can't find him. I do happen to see Adam though.
"Hey Adam" I say walking up to him.
"Hey" he answers back.
"What are you doing here still?"
"Oh…I failed a science quiz so I had to retake it. The retake was HARDER than the original quiz. Why would the teacher make a retake harder if the original was already hard?" I giggle.
"Adam I told you. I could totally help you out with your academics. I live, eat and sleep academics. I'm a nerd."
"Haha thanks Cara. I just don't like asking for help. You know? It's kind of embarrassing."
"You don't have to be embarrassed." I say, "Everybody needs help sometimes. Even I do." I think about Bree helping me with my boy problems.
"I guess you're right Cara. You think you could help out a dummy like me?"
"Adam you're not a dummy. Some people just learn in different ways and paces than others do. Sure. I would be glad to help you."
"Thanks." We start to walk out of the school. I guess I'll talk to Max later. After all the days he stays after school late he decides today not to be here. I wasted an hour of sleep to get all dressed up for nothing.
"You coming over my house today?" Adam asked.
"Oh no. Not today. I have a lot of homework tonight and plus, tennis practice."
"Ok. I'll walk you home then."
"Oh ok thanks." We start to walk to my house.
"So why were you at school afterwards." Adam asked while raising an eyebrow at me. I laugh.
"Adam don't look at me like that" I chuckle, "You know raising your eyebrow always makes me laugh."
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Alright. I was here, because I wanted to ask somebody a question."
"Somebody like who?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Just curious."
"Fine. But you can't tell anyone ok? I already have told Bree and Chase knows too. I was going to ask Max to homecoming."
"Max? You mean the popular soccer player Max?"
"Yup. That's the one."
"Awww….you guys would be perfect together. What happened?"
"He wasn't there. He chooses the day I want to talk to him to not be there."
"I'm sure he'll be there tomorrow. I think he had a soccer game today."
"Yeah sure." Finally we get to my front doorstep. "Well this is my stop Adam."
"Ok Cara. So when do you want to start tutoring me?"
"Ummmm….how about tomorrow?"
"Ok tomorrow it is!"
"See ya then!"
"See ya!" I wave him goodbye as I see him disappear down the street. I walk into my house.
How was that? Feel free to review. See ya next chapter!
