A Moment In the Hallway
The minute we got into the hallway Emmett started rolling on the floor laughing, literally. He sat down in front of a locker and I slid down next to him. "I don't get what's so funny," I told him. I was so confused. We had gotten in trouble and all I said was that I felt like I hit a wall in the note and then he hysterically starts laughing? He was still chuckling on the floor so I waited for him to stop. When he was finally finished he took a breath and started to talk.
"Inside joke between me and my family. We're kind of hard …" he started laughing again but managed to choke out his last word, "people."
"You know what? I don't even want to know. Let's just go to the office now, I don't want to get into anymore trouble as it is, on my FIRST day."
He raised an eyebrow at me, "Why? If you're hanging around me you're going to have a bad reputation anyway."
"Oh so you're not Mr. Perfect-Jock-Who-Charms-Girls-With-His-Good-Looks?"
He was trying to look like he was thinking again, "Hmmm, not really, but close. More like Mr. Perfect-Rich-Jock-Who-Hates-School-And-Would-Rather-Be-Charming-Ladies." He gave me a bright white smile. If his smile could sparkle while he was pale I was wondering what he would look like with a tan.
"Oh so that's why you got us kicked out of the classroom! So you could charm me?" I smiled back at him.
"You're really fast," he laughed, "let me guess who you are though." I nodded at him to keep going. "Okay, Ms. Normal-Hazel-Eyed-Girl-That-Likes-To-Be-Charmed-By-Hott-Guys." He smirked at me. I pretended to think and he laughed at me.
"Okay, hmmm, not really, but close. More like Ms. Normal-Girl-Who-Doesn't-Care-What-People-Think-About-Her-And- Likes-To-Be-Charmed-By-Hott-Guys."
"So I wasn't too far off."
"Just a little bit."
He stood up and held out his hand to me. "Come on, we have to go to the office Ms. Normal-Girl-Who-Doesn't-Care-What-People-Think-About-Her-And- Likes-To-Be-Charmed-By-Hott-Guys." We both smiled at each other and I took his hand.
