I know this chapter is short, but it was a good stopping point in my mind. Probably one more chapter of day one before I go on. I'm going to start naming chapters after songs that I like. If you can name at least 4 of the next 5 I'll let you give me an idea that I have to use in the story (within limits of what I sort of have planned, which should be done by the time this comes around). So here's a short chapter.
Chapter 4: Wasting Time
12:15 PM
The Hallway
Gavin's POV:
I headed off to 5th period after leaving lunch. I was just about to put in my headphones when I heard my name being shouted from down the hall.
"Gavin, wait up!"
I caught a flash of red hair as I turned around. "Hey Cat," I grinned, "What's going on?"
"I saw you walking this way, and my next class is over here," she said with a smile, "What do you have?"
"I have English with, uh, Thomson."
"No way, me too! You should sit in the empty desk behind me!"
"Let's hope I can," I said, "I still need to meet more people here."
Cat's POV:
"What's that supposed to mean?" I yelled, confused why he didn't like me and my friends.
He laughed, "I like you guys a lot, I just would like to actually talk to more than 6 or 7 people at this school. I try to be a social butterfly."
That calmed me down a lot. "I like butterflies. They're so pretty."
"I do too."
The silence gave me a chance to look at him. He took his glasses off to clean them, and it surprised me how blue they were. I giggled.
He looked at me funny. "What's the giggling for?"
"You have pretty eyes. Blue makes me happy. "
He laughed. "Because that's what every boy dreams about, having pretty eyes. Thanks though, I'm glad my eyes make you happy. . . I think."
1:50 PM
History class
Tori's POV:
"Alright, go and work with your partners on the worksheet."
Finally.
"Tori, be my partner!"
Of course it's Cat, I thought with a smile.
"Give me a sec, I gotta get my stuff together."
"Kay kay!"
After a couple minutes, I realized Cat wasn't working on the paper. "What are you thinking about, Cat?"
"Nothing," she said with a guilty smile.
"Liar," I said mischievously, "Come on, you can tell me."
"What do you think of Gavin?" she asked with a dreamy smile.
That surprised me a bit. "Umm, he seems pretty cool, and he's nice. Why?"
"Do you think he's cute?" Now I saw where this was going.
"I would give him. . . a 7. But that's only looks."
Cat perked up, "I think I like him. You know, like like."
"Cat, that's great! You should ask him out!"
She blushed a little bit, "I don't know, Tori. We've only talked once or twice, and he's new."
That surprised me. "That's really thoughtful, Cat."
"I know," she said with a smile, "I think a lot."
