I realise I haven't posted in over 3 months…woops, sorry to anyone who has been waiting but here it is! Enjoy x
I trudge into science and sit down at mine and Toby's empty desk, my mood had been slightly lifted after talking to Shane but I still could feel my lips stretched into a frown across my face. I pull out my book and pen. One by one I watch students rush into class and take their normal seats, the teacher arrives in last and the class begins. Confused, I look around the class room wondering where Toby is. I felt strangely disappointed that he wasn't here, even though I did embarrass myself in front of him I did want to see him. Dismissing my thoughts, I pay attention to the work.
Somehow, during my work my mind drifts over to Shane. Why was he talking to me? I wonder, putting my elbows on the desk and resting my head in my hands. Did he just want to say hi? Will he talk to me again? My breath catches when a thought crosses my head. Does he feel something for me? I think. A voice in my head takes over No Lindsay, he doesn't even know you and Shane has much prettier girls that he could get, He probably won't talk to you again and he definitely does not have a thing for you. My common sense tells me this and I decide to just believe all these.
"But Maybe…" I whisper to myself as quietly as I can, giving myself a little hope. I suddenly hear yelling from the front of the class room and my head shoots up. "And why are you late?" Toby stands at the door nervously while the teacher glares at him "I was helping a teacher" Toby says, handing him a note. Toby quickly hurries over and sits next to me, I awkwardly look down and Toby stares at me. "Lindsay, are you okay? You seemed upset earlier. Jordan was so worried about you, so was I. We tried to find you but we couldn't, I really hope you're okay" I sit shocked at the sudden outburst. "You guys were worried?" I ask, he nods "Oh, I'm fine , thanks for the concern but it was nothing" I tell him, my mind wondering back to Shane I look out the window. "Okay good" Toby puts his hand on mine, I spin around shocked and blush. "I would be very upset if you weren't okay" he tells me before lifting his hand away. I feel a rush of emotions and I blush even harder.
But then I remember that he has been giving Jordan a lot of attention. This guy is just a flirt I tell myself angrily you don't need him. I gaze at him But he does seem pretty amazing… god my emotions suck. We didn't talk for the rest of science, both of us did our work and I mostly think about everything that's been happening. I wonder to myself what Toby is thinking. Class eventually ends obviously and Toby walks with me out of the class room.
"So Lindsay, are you doing anything interesting this weekend?" He asks me as we walk down the hall, I shake my head "Are you?" I ask, not paying much attention "Nope! Not a damn thing! Total things I am doing is zero!" Toby exclaims, I can feel him looking at me "So, If we both aren't doing anything-" I hear Toby say, but then he goes quiet, I look at him and he looks to be thinking. "Lindsay!" Someone yells, I spin around and see Shane walking over to me. Oh god, what if he makes fun of me in front of Toby I think panicking, but Shane just walks over and smiles "How was science Lindsay?" Shane asks, I calm down and smile "It was pretty bad" I suddenly remember Toby standing behind me, I turn and look at Toby who is glaring at Shane. "This is my friend Toby, Shane" Toby shakes his hand and smile. "Um, Lindsay I was wondering if you wanted to come to a party I'm throwing" Shane asks me "You can come to Toby, It's next Friday" Toby grins and suddenly Jordan shows up. Looks like everyone is here together I frown. "Can Jordan come too!" Toby asks, Shane flashes a grin at Jordan "Yes she can" Shane hands us all invitations, "I got to go, Ill talk to you later Lindsay?" Shane asks, I smile "Yeah sure" Shane walks away. Me Lindsay and Toby begin to walk to class together.
"Lindsay, since when were you friends with Shane?" Jordan asks "Since today" I reply smiling. "Wow" Jordan replies "Hey Toby! How was class" She then asks Toby, Toby and Jordan talk a bit, I felt a little jealous but I was too excited about this party to care too much.
