Thank you so much for my review. It means a ton to me. Even if it is just one, I'll keep writing just for you.
Disclaimer: I own no one. Talk to Summit. Although they'd deny making this movie. Poor advertisement killed this amazing film.
Will Burton's mom, Karen, came into his room. It was about 8:00. She saw that Will was still sleeping at his computer. She sighed. Ever since they moved here, it seemed like he just, didn't want to communicate with her as much anymore. She was his only friend in Jersey. She hated that he barely spoke to her anymore.
"Will? Will sweetie, it's time to wake up for school." She said.
(A/N: I guess the rest will be in Will's POV now.)
I awoke with a start. What time was it? I looked over to the door and saw my mom standing there.
"Mom, what time is it?" I asked groggily.
"It's 8, now get ready the bus will be here in about thirty minutes." She replied. She had a sad look in her face. I wanted to ask why, but I had no time. I grabbed my I Can't Go On shirt and some ripped jeans and raced to the shower. I showered up, and finished preparing for the morning. I ran outside just in time to see the bus go by.
"Really!?" I yelled at the bus driver.
"The bus waits for no one, not even the kid taking a shower." Charlotte said from inside her car. I looked over her way and saw someone was occupying the passenger's seat.
Ben Wheatley sat there glaring at me. He was still mad because I took Charlotte away from him. Well, not in the dating sense, but in the way that she wouldn't compete with his band.
"Hey Dewey, I mean Will." He said with a cocky grin on his face. I turned away and started walking to school. Charlotte pulled up beside me.
"Will, stop. Ben tell him you're sorry." Charlotte said with an angry tone in her voice.
"But Charlot…" He began
"No. Ben. Apologize. NOW." She said very angrily.
"Sorry Will…." Ben mumbled. I believed his apology about as much as I believe that the cafeterias food will be good today.
"Yea..Whatever." I replied. I again continued my walk. Charlotte cut the car off and got out. She ran up to me.
"Will…Hop in. I'll drive you to school." She said calmly as if that whole ordeal didn't just go down.
"It's fine. Really. I'll walk. No big deal." I again tried to continue my walk, but once again was stopped by Charlotte.
"Will, you'll never get there in time for class. It's on my way to work. Please? Just hop in." She said. Why was she trying so hard to get me to ride with her? It made no sense to me.
"Charlotte. Please. I'm fine. I want to walk anyways." I continued my walk. This time, I put my iPod in so that I couldn't hear her anymore. She apparently gave up and got back in her car. The next thing I saw was her red car driving by me.
She was right. Walking I didn't make it to class on time. I was about ten minutes late to my math class. Who needs math anyways? I mean I pass it every year without really studying. Math is the one of the 4 classes that I don't have with Sa5m, which really sucks. I didn't even get to see her on the bus this morning. So instead of listening to the teacher, I kept my iPod in and started listening to Sa5m's recording of "Everything I Own." Granted Bread did an amazing job with the song, but no one could do better than Sa5m. I see no possible way. Her voice, our ska beat, and just the electricity that is felt when she sings that song is unbeatable. I sigh as I feel my leg vibrate. I slowly take my phone out to see who texted me. I smiled as I saw Sa5m flash across the screen. She was asking where I was this morning and to go to the bathroom. I put my phone up, took the headphones out, and raised my hand.
"Yes Mr. Burton?" Ms. Lockwood asked.
"May I use the bathroom?" I replied casually.
"Go ahead." She sighed.
I jumped up and hastily left the room. I shut the door and saw Sa5m waiting for me.
"And where were you this morning?" She asked with a smirk on her face.
"I missed the bus. Stupid showers. "I replied.
"Oh yes, curse the thing that makes us smell better." She shot back taking my hand into hers.
"Trying to say I don't smell good?" I asked firing back. I loved getting into little arguments with her about stuff that really didn't even matter.
"No. You smell awful." She sarcastically said giving me a little push.
"So, where are we going? I have a math class that thinks I'm using the restroom." I said.
She shrugged and turned her head towards me. A lock of her beautiful hair fell in front of her face. I gently brushed it aside.
"Whoa there. Don't start petting me again." She laughed.
Her laugh sent a shiver down my spine. I loved her laugh. She didn't do it enough. For some reason, although I know she's happy, she seems so unhappy.
"Not my finest hour, no. You were my first kiss. I was nervous." I said. For all she knew she WAS my first kiss. No one had mentioned to Sa5m that I had kissed Charlotte for practice. Nor would I like for her to find out that I kissed Charlotte for practice.
"By the way, I want a new Sense and Sensibility book. You destroyed mine." She said completely serious.
"Fine. We'll go buy you one after school, if you want to hang out?" I asked. I had become so much more comfortable around her now. Not just her. I finally had friends. I had Sa5m, Bug, Basher, Omar, Kim, Irene, and Charlotte. Charlotte. I still don't know how sincere she is to me. Ever since yesterday in her car I wondered how much she really considered me a friend.
"Um. Will, your class is there, unless you want to keep going with me." She said. She gave me a look. Her beautiful brown eyes were looking at me with concern.
"Oh yea, so I'll see you in a few then?" I asked.
"Of course." She replied with a smile. She raised up and gave me a peck on the lips. "Bye Will." She said with a wave.
I stood there for a couple of seconds before I whispered. "Bye Sa5m."
Oh, so I wonder what happens next?! Well, not really because I know. Please, if you read this. Review it. Even if you don't I'm still writing. You guys tell me some things you'd like to see in here.
