Friendly Smiles and Confessions

The next day at school I noticed that Lindsey tried to stay as far away from me as possible and completely ignore me, which was ok, because I know what kind of car she drove and I'd make sure to catch her before she left.

RINNNNGGGG The final bell finally rang scaring half of the sleeping class half to death. I grabbed my stuff and ran out and almost ran into two girls. "Hey" they winked at me and smiled, I smiled back waved and ran off rolling my eyes.

Then I got caught by a few friends, "So Westerly, you excited about the surfing championship" one asked, "We think you'll do great, dude you're like the best on the team" another one spoke. I threw my hands up in the air. "Dude chill! Gosh, what are ya'll reporters, I'm busy ok!" I yelled maybe a little too harsh but I was getting pissed and I needed to catch up with Lindsey. They all stared after me as I ran.

I stood by her car and she looked up at me, from the drivers side not saying a word. "Will you move or say whatever you want to say" she groaned. "Lindsey, I remember, I remember you and I feel terrible, please just let me talk" she looked up at me and smiled. "Took you long enough" she pressed a button and the door of the passenger side opened. "Hop in" she motioned with her head and I walked around to the other side getting in.

We arrived at a small café that was down the road and got out. "Ok, now tell me while we eat whatever you want to tell me and I'm out of your life forever, like I know you want and like I always was" I was confused but slowly catching up to why she hated me.

"Lindsey I hate myself for what I did I just…" she finished my sentence, "Had more girls and more friends to look at me" I shook my head. "No, that's not true Lindsey, please believe me when I tell you I'm sorry, I want to be friends" she looked up at me from her plate. "Friends?" I nodded.

"That's not going to happen, face it Westerly, you're gorgeous, popular, the surfing champion in this school and you don't need me" I shook my head. "You never needed me, that's why you never paid attention when I liked you, when the entire school of girls swooned over you like they STILL do" she shook her head and stared at me, I tried to get a word in with no luck.

"Westerly, we're not the type of people who are meant to be friends or anything else for that matter, you have your life and I have mine, so just let fate take us the way we're supposed to go" I nodded, "You're right, fate, ok I'll write my phone number on this paper, give it to Lucas and tell him to make sure it ends up in your locker, now he has no idea who you are so if it does, you call me and we're friends or whatever else, if not I leave you forever" she rolled her eyes and then laughed.

"You were always the creative one huh, well ok why not, give it to him tomorrow morning and if by the end of the day it gets there, I'll call you and I'll quit completely ignoring you flirting with me" I stared at her my mouth gaped open. "I'm not stupid Bradin, I know when someone flirts with me" she laughed, we got into the car and she drove me to the lot to pick up mine, without a word I got out and left, just a simple wave.

(Lindsey's P.O.V)

I woke up, pulled on a pair of jeans and a cute tube top, put on some makeup and got into my car. "Bye mom" I waved to her and she didn't respond, not like she ever did.

I drove down to the school and I saw Bradin, he didn't talk to me all day which was amazing but the school days from Kansas were back, me staring at him as he flirted with every other girl on the planet. Damn he was gorgeous, and his blonde hair covering his eyes gave him the bad boy look even though he wasn't.

"Hey Lindsey" he waved at me and I ignored him, why I didn't know, I wanted him so bad even if just friends but I just couldn't let him know that, we don't belong together and he doesn't need me like this" I pulled out a mirror and looked at my face. I can't believe how my bright pink and tanned face and arms went to this pale white. So quickly getting some powder and blush I covered it up and left to my locker.

The final bell had rung and I was excited. I wanted to be friends with Bradin if nothing else, but had my hopes down maybe too low, this would never happen. Opening my locker I was surprised as a piece of paper with his number flew out. "Wow, he got it here" a huge smile spread across my face.

Running home and driving down the road what even I thought was too fast I ran up to my room and grabbed the paper and the phone. The other line rang and rang but no one picked up. "Maybe this was a set-up, just like Westerly" I was about to hang up when an older woman answered the phone. "Hello Gregory house" I was confused, "Uhh is Bradin there" I figured I'd ask anyways even though the last names didn't match.

"OH yeah sure, hold on sweetie" she suddenly became a lot sweeter as she told Bradin to pick up the phone. "Hey Bradin" I smiled even though he couldn't see. "Hey Lindsey so what do you say, didn't think I could or would do it, well I really like you Lindsey and I want to be your friend if nothing else" I nodded, "Sure Bradin, friends" I hung up the phone and sqeealed to myself. This would be an amazing year.
