Innocent Girls
"Kate Emelie Williams get your butt outta bed!" My mom yelled. "It's the first day of school and if you're late it'll give a bad impression!"
Ugh. I rolled over, covering me head with a pillow to block her out.
"Kate?" She asked softly.
"Yes mother?" I replied.
"Get out of bed right now!" She yelled, leaving me awake and tired in my room.
I got out of bed, quickly making it till it was perfect. I smiled. Good job Kate. I took a shower, brushed my teeth and got dressed, brushing my hair quickly before running down the stairs. Downstairs my brother, Lucas was eating a big bowl of Raisin Bran. My mother me handed me a bowl filled with it also.
"Here you go Katie" She said smiling.
"Gross" I muttered.
"What was that?" She asked
"Nothing" I said quickly.
She drove us to school, kissing us both on the cheek before we left.
"Mom please!" I said grossed out. "You're embarrassing me"
"Kate Williams, you should be glad you have a mother to kiss you" She said. "Some people don't have their mothers at all Hun so consider yourself lucky"
I was walking away annoyed when I saw him. Chad Kingsley, the school's hottie. I ducked my head when I walked by hoping he didn't notice me staring.
"Hey you…..um Kate" He said.
I turned around quickly, wondering what he could want with me.
"Yes?" I said to him.
"You're cute" He said smoothly.
Oh my goodness…..Chad Kingsley just called me cute!
"Um thank you" I said.
"Wanna go out sometime?"
"Yeah of course, sure"
"How about tomorrow night?"
"Yeah of course, sure"
"Can I pick you up at eight?"
"Yeah of course, sure"
"Are you just going to repeat that?"
"Yeah of cour-I mean no, no of course not" I said blushing. I'm such a dummy!
"Okay so I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah of course, sure" I said. Oh my goodness not again! Ugh way to go Kate! Smart move, really.
He walked away over to his group of friends who hurried inside. That's when I realized everyone was gone and the bell must've rung.
"Oh darn" I said. "So much for first impression…."
The bell finally rang for lunch and I went to get my lunch. I was standing in line with a tray of spaghetti, a muffin and pudding, when someone bumped into me. I fell to the ground, my lunch spilled all over me.
"Watch where your standing jackass!" He yelled at me.
I looked up and saw that it was Chad. What the heck? Why is he being so rude? He just asked me out like 2 hours ago. He payed for his lunched, looked at me, laughed and sauntered away with his friends following after. I couldn't believe it. He just walked away, leaving me embarrassed and smelling like spaghetti. I got up quickly and was about to run to the bathroom when the cafeteria lady cleared her throat.
"You have to pay for that you know" She said rudely.
I threw the money at her, running to the bathroom while most of the cafeteria laughed at me. When I got there, I tried my best to wipe the stains from my shirt. Now I would have to walk around for the rest of the day with a huge stain on my shirt and smelling like spaghetti. I just wanted to cry. Mostly because of how Chad acted. He probably only asked me out for a laugh with his friends.
I got through the rest of the day, ignoring the laughter behind my back. I was waiting outside for my mom to come when I felt arms wrap around my waist. I was shocked and out of reflex, jerked away. When I turned around I was surprised to see Chad with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing?" I hissed.
"Will you be my girlfriend Kate?" He responded.
"What?" I said shocked. "We haven't even gone out not to mention the fact you completely embarrassed me in front of everyone"
"I'm sorry Katie" He said, apologetic. "If I hadn't said anything my boys would've thought I'd gone soft"
"So?"
"Well if they'd thought I'd gone soft, I wouldn't be the most popular guy in school" He said. "And you wouldn't be dating the most popular guy in school either"
"Oh" I said. "Well that's okay, I don't care about you being the most popular guy"
"Well I do" He said, angry all of a sudden.
I stepped back from him. The anger on his face shocked me. I was a bit scared. He saw and his face automatically softened. He stepped towards me pulling me into his arms. It felt so good so I relaxed and leaned into his chest.
"I'm sorry Katie" He repeated.
"It's ok" I told him.
I looked up at his face. He looked ashamed.
"So?" He said
"So what?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Good" He said, smiling. "Are we still on for tomorrow?"
"Yeah of course, sure" I said. Crap. 'Oh you just swore' I thought to myself. Great, now I was going to have to confess my sin, and ask for forgiveness.
Chad let go of me, walking away slightly.
"Ok well then I'll see you tomorrow night" He said.
"Wait, won't you be at school tomorrow?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Then I'll see you tomorrow morning then"
"Look, Kate" He said. "I'm the school's hero basically. I can't publicly go out with you. You're not exactly popular. Especially after what happened in the cafeteria today"
I looked at him confused."Are you saying were going to be secretly dating?"
"Yeah, pretty much" He said backing away. "I'll see you tomorrow night"
And with that he turned around walking to his car, until he drove away, leaving me wondering what the heck happened.
