Abby ;)
I could barely hear myself breathing. My heart was racing in my ears. I was beyond anxious to get to homeroom. Or school in general. This is not normal.
"Hey" I breathed as I sat in my seat beside his. His gloomy expression lifted slightly as he watched my face. Jeff wasn't here. Something was different. Where's Jeff today?
His smile grew bigger. "Well, let's just say, he's with someone else." My confusion must have showed on my face because he laughed a cool, sweet laugh. "Abby," every time he said my name my heart leaped higher, "Who else isn't here?" I turned my head to where Emily usually sat.
"Oh." I realized. "Aww." I said. "So does Jeff like Emily?
"I don't know," He smiled. "Does Emily like Jeff?"
I giggled. It was sooo easy to just stare at him and forget what I was saying completely.
Then his smile faded and he looked down at my hand resting on my desk. I looked down suddenly too thinking something was wrong. His face looked anxious.
"Abby?"
"Yes?" I breathed. The butterflies in my stomached fluttered faster and harder as the seconds ticked by.
"I was wondering… if your boyfriend was taking you out this weekend…"
I sat there motionless in my seat. Then I started to laugh. Hysterically. He looked up at me, confused.
"Do you really think that anyone of these guys would ever ask me out? They're all too full of themselves." I pointed at a guy holding a mirror at his desk to check his hair. "Besides, I'm too 'unique' for them."
He looked up at me and I thought I as going to faint. His eyes locked with mine. "Well, then they must be smoking some drug. Because I think you're beautiful. And I love that you're unique." He smiled a little and reached for my hand. As soon as our skin touched my body felt full. I felt complete when I was holding hands with him.
His skin was warm and welcoming. I wanted to hold onto him forever.
"So since the druggies seem to be not interested, will you come to the beach with my family this weekend?"
I smiled. "Well… I'd have to think about that." I watched as his face fell a little bit. "I'm kidding. I'd love to. Jeez, I figured you'd have figured that side of me out by now." We laughed for a little bit and then the bell rang for first period. Our fingers stayed intertwined until the end of class.
