So I wrote this in the car and I kind of forget where the last chapter ended so I'm just going to skip to where I want to. And guest, no sadly I'm not the same author. I read a story most likely similar to yours and an idea was planted Into my head. I hope you can enjoy this story like you enjoyed the other. That goes for everyone, please enjoy. :)
I groaned as I woke up, it's a Friday morning. Now the Friday is the good part, school is the bad part. I sighed as I peeled the light pearl blanket off of my warm body. Reminder; open a window next time I go to sleep. My feet found the hard wood floor as my hands found the knobs to my closet. I opened the door to see the perfect outfit to match the hot summer weather. It's a light pastel purple color and it's knee length. Wanda bought it for me last year when it was my birthday. I smiled as I slid it up my body, I've never worn a dress to school before. It's not too dressy though, hence why it's a sun dress. I quickly braided my hair to the side and put some mascara on. I guess Friday does have some sort of effect on me, it makes me a little cheerful. I looked at my phone to see its time to go, I quickly slid my sandals on. I quickly made my way out the door after leaving a note and money for Jamie. I rushed on my way to school, I don't feel like getting In trouble for being late. When I pulled in I seen Jared and Ian talking, they some how get along. I started looking around for Wanda, she never strayed away from him. Oddly, she never went a morning without texting me. I got out of my car and slid my book bag on, I'm a little too ready for today. I walked over to the two boys talking and got strange looks from Ian.
"Are you wearing a dress?"
Before I could answer I heard Wanda's loud high pitched voice yelling something.
"Your wearing the dress."
With that she was by my side hugging me. I smiled as I pulled back from the hug and looked around to see people looking at me.
"Why are they looking at me?"
"Because you look super cute."
Wanda pointed out as she drug me into school with the boys following close behind. I felt one pair of eyes on me though. I quickly turned to see Jared's eyes glued on me, strange. I shrugged it off as i led them over to my locker. I opened it and tried to get books on the top shelf, and today it wasn't happening with ease. It took a few tried before there was a strong figure behind me grabbing my books and setting them up for me. I took a deep breath at the closeness of this person being this close to me, and the reaction I was having. My stomach feels all warm, and my limbs feel weightless. I turned to thank the person when I seen it was Jared. Of course he helped, he's my friend. I playfully punched his arm as I thanked him. The bell rang which told everyone it's time to go to first period. I waved to everyone and started to make my way to my first period when I heard someone walk up beside me. I turned to see this boy beside me, and he was actually really cute. It only took a couple seconds to realize it's the same kid who asked my mom if I would be his date for tomorrow. I could suddenly feel my throat begin to get warm and dry.
"You look pretty."
"Thanks."
"So you have another date for tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm still happy that I get to see you tomorrow. Maybe I'll get to steal a dance or something."
I suddenly felt bad for being quite rejective to the kid.
"Yeah, I'd like that."
I smiled at him as I waved goodbye, and sat down in the classroom. Was he actually showing an interest in me? I shook my head as I tried to focus on history. Apparently Theodore Roosevelt was the main topic of today's talk. I accidentally shut everyone off as I began to think to myself. Is it actually so bad to talk to someone and maybe date them. I've never actually had a boyfriend, would it hurt to have one? No. He doesn't look like Jared though. Wait, why would I want him to look like Jared? I don't. Jared's my friend, maybe even possibly my best guy friend. I've never had a guy best friend and it's very relaxing, almost kind of cute. Wait does this mean I think Jared's cute? No. I,uh,our friendships cute. I tried to think of something else as the bell rang. I quickly left and made my way to my next classes. Before I knew it, it was fourth period and I was walking with Wanda. We basically had our own little routine down, go outside. We sat on the grass by the last field. The usual boys were out playing football and we were just watching. I looked up to see someone standing infront of me, the kid from earlier. Oh wait his names Nate.
"Your here to watch me Melanie?"
I swear, Jared used to say the same thing to me.
"No I'm here with Wanda."
I said as I pointed over to a confused Wanda.
"Wanda, your remember Nate!"
Her mouth made an O shape, she clearly remembers now.
"So, what are you two doing here?"
He said as he sat down beside me, but my stomach never did flips.
"Watching Wanda's boyfriend."
"And Melanie's little boy toy."
"Wanda he's my best friend, shut up."
Wanda still thinks Jared and I are bound to have a thing. I tell her were just friends.
"Who's that?"
"Jared Howe."
"Oh your friends with that thing? I expected more from you."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Our kind don't go around his."
"He's a great kid."
"And he's got a bigger record than his buddy Kyle."
I could feel myself start to get a little angry.
"Well he's my friend."
I seen Nate scoff as Jared made his way over to us with Ian.
"Burns."
"Howe."
"How's your mom? I heard her leaving my house last night."
It wasn't long until Jared had Nate on the ground.
"Watch your words burns."
"The only reason she ever married your dad is because she didn't want to have a bastard as a son."
I closed my eyes as I seen Jared raise his fist. I heard a smack and a groan. I opened my eyes to see Nate holding his nose and Ian holding back a very angry Jared. I walked closer to Jared to see he was shaking. I've never seen him this angry before, I can feel myself start to get a little nervous. It wasn't long until I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see a player from the team.
"Give him some time, I don't want to see him accidentally hit you."
I just nodded as I sat back down with Wanda on the grass, we still had a good half hour left in this free period. I seen the boys walk back over to play, all of them. Nate was back on his feet, and Jared's glare never left his face.
"You know, I think Jared got a little jealous."
I turned my head to look at Wanda.
"Your stupid, did you hear what he said to him. That was rude and disrespectful."
"Well Jared came over here for a reason."
"Wanda, were just friends. We will always be just friends. I give him props if he tries to leave the friendzoned bubble."
Keep telling yourself this Melanie, and you'll believe it.
"Sure, because you really friend zoned him right?"
I nodded as I looked back over at the boys, to see a fight break out once again. I quickly stood up and jogged over to see Jared in another fight with Nate. His helmet was ripped off of him, and Jared was throwing punch after punch. Maybe Nate was right,Jared isn't one of us.
"Jared stop!"
I yelled and everyone turned to look at me,I noticed a teacher was walking over. I swallowed hard as I tried to quietly tell them to knock it off before the teacher made their way over. Thankfully, Ian pulled Jared off of Nate and grabbed him by the jersey he wore.
"Get it together man."
Ian hit Jared's shoulder and earned a glare from Jared.
I got closer to Jared to see he had a cut on his lip.
"Let me clean that up for you, come on lets go inside."
I said as I grabbed my bag and drug Jared inside the girls locker room with me. He leaned against the sink, as I grabbed a paper towel and got it wet with hot water. I started to clean his lip off when I decided to ask him what happened.
"He was saying stuff about you."
"Like?"
"What he was going to do to you."
I could feel my skin begin to crawl, I didn't bother asking any further.
"Thanks for cleaning my lip up."
"That's what friends are for."
I smiled and turned, not before a heard a slight murmur.
"Yeah..friends."
It was a mumble but it was enough to make my heart stop for a split second. I felt nervous all of a sudden, he can't possibly think of me in that way. Not to mention we have to go some where tomorrow. I turned back to him and pretended like I didn't hear anything.
"Your still okay with going tomorrow?"
"Absolutely."
"Thanks."
I smiled at him as we began to walk to our next class.
He walked me to the door and I quickly hugged him without thinking. When I sat down I seen Wanda's wide eyes.
"What?"
"You hugged him?"
My palm found my face.
What did I just do?
