Andy POV
"Hey Ash," I greeted him, as he got into the passenger seat of my car. I started to back out of the driveway, but Ash put his hand on my arm. "What are you doing?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow.
"Listen," he whispered, rolling down the window, "she's screaming."
I nodded my head as I watched Desi come storming out of her house, her cheeks were tearstained, her eyeliner was running down her face, and she was visibly fuming.
I drove over to her house and parked in the driveway, getting out of the car and walking over to her.
"Do you know that even when your upset your beautiful," I told her. I said this to cheer her up, but it was the truth. Desi could be having the worst day of her life and I bet she would still be drop dead gorgeous.
"Shut up," she sniffed, but I saw her smile ever so slightly.
"Do you wanna ride?" I asked her. I knew better than anyone that when someone was this upset, your didn't ask them if they were okay, or if they wanted to talk, because it just pissed them off.
"Are you sure?" she asked, picking her backpack off of the ground.
"Yes," I replied, taking her bag from her and walking her to the car. I opened the door to the backseat for her, then I put her backpack in the trunk along with Ashley's and mine.
I got back in the car and started driving toward school.
"Aren't you guys going to pick up Jinxx, CC, and Jake?" Desi inquired.
"Nah," Ashley replied, "they live farther away, so they all ride together."
"How far do you live from Ash and I, Andy?" Desi questioned, resting her chin on my seat.
"Two streets away," I replied, "so you can ride with us everyday, if you want."
"I couldn't do that," she muttered, "I'd feel like I was using you."
"You're not using me," I groaned, "you know what? It's not a choice, I'm driving you, deal with it."
She rolled her eyes but giggled, "fine."
"Have you gotten your class schedule yet?" Ashley asked Desi.
"Yes actually, and I already memorized it," she said, proudly.
"Who do you have?" I inquired.
"First block Wikens, for English 4, then Clark, for science, then lunch, then mixed choir with Jeffery, and my last class is Geometry with Jacobs," Desi said.
"Well you have choir with all of us," I said, "but that teacher sucks so it's mostly just hang out with friends, and you have science with me."
"You have geometry with CC and Jake, and English 4 with me and Jinxx," Ashley added, "so you'll have someone with you every class."
"That's a relief," Desi sighed, "I hate being the new girl."
"How many times have you been the new girl?" I questioned.
Desi counted on her fingers, "um," she paused, "I think this is my tenth school."
"Tenth school?" both Ash and I shouted.
"Yep," Desi replied, "when I was in primary school we only moved twice, because I was little, then when I got into middle school, we moved four times, and since ninth grade I'm moved three times, this being my fourth move."
"Holy crap," Ash whistled, "why do you guys move so much?"
"My mom and dad renovate homes," she answered, "my mom decorates while my dad does the construction part. We move because they have business they work with, and every time they use a new business it's in a different part of the U.S, so we move there."
"Do you think that you'll make it the whole year here?" I asked, hopeful.
"I won't matter," Deis replied, "in one month I turn eighteen, so I'm going to move out that day, and then I won't have to be connected to my parents at all," she laughed bitterly.
I frowned and pulled into the school parking lot, shutting off the engine to my car. I got out and popped the trunk, handing Ash and Desi their backpacks, before slinging mine over my shoulder.
"'Sup dude," Jinxx greeted us, getting out of his truck along with CC and Jake, (which was parked next to my car), "and dudette."
Desi laughed, "that works."
"Ready for your first day?" CC asked Desi, and she nodded her head.
"Let's do this," she stated, grabbing my hand and dragging me toward the school. I smiled at how soft her hands were.
I led her to her classroom, then I started walking to my own class with CC.
"You like her, don't you?" CC asked me, both of us sitting down in the desks in the classroom.
"Psh," I scoffed, "yeah right."
CC narrowed his eyes at me, "Andy, do I look stupid?"
"Well you do have 2.0 GPA," I muttered, and he laughed.
"Not funny," he replied, "and I'm bringing it up. But c'mon, admit it, you like her."
I bit my lip, "fine, I do."
CC smiled, "I knew it. Listen, you better tell the other guys because I think their hitting on her."
"I will," I sighed, "wait, you don't like her?"
"No, actually," he replied, "I'm working on another girl."
"Good for you man," I mumbled, then I turned around in my seat and started to do the work on the board before the teacher yelled at CC and I for not doing our work.
~!~
The guys jumped onto the stage, and surrounded me, which wasn't hard, since I was laying on my back. I sat up and drew my knees to my chest, as the guys sat down.
"Where's Desi?" I inquired.
"Coming," Jinxx replied, "the teacher wanted to talk to her real quick, but I told her to meet us here."
"But that's not what we wanted to talk about," Ash grinned at me, "I heard through the grape vine you have a crush on her."
I glared at CC, "fuck you."
CC shrugged, "I couldn't keep it from them."
I rolled my eyes, "please don't tell her, guys, seriously."
"We won't, and we've all talked about it, and you can have her," Jake stated.
"Really?" I raised an eyebrow, "just like that, I can ask her out and you guys won't get mad?"
"Nope," Jinxx answered, "you always let us get the girls, this time it's your turn."
"Well then thanks guys," I smiled warmly, "that means a lot."
"And speak of the devil," Ashley mumbled, "here she comes."
"Hey guys," Desi said, running down the auditorium isle, and stopping at the front of the stage. Her eyebrows furrowed together and she tried to jump on, but she was too short.
"Here," I held out my hands to her, and she grabbed them. I pulled her up and she laughed.
"Thanks," she said, sitting down. I sat next to her.
"So how's the day going?" Jake asked.
"I like this school," Desi replied, "well, I like the classes, you guys make them fun. The school and students itself suck."
"Don't let it get to you," I mumbled, patting her knee, "just ignore them."
"I will, thanks," she replied.
"So what are you doing after school?" CC inquired, looking at Desi.
"I can't think of anything," she paused, "why?"
"You should go to our band rehearsal," Jinxx suggested, "we're really good."
"I don't know," Desi trailed off, "I mean, I would, but today is just not the right day."
"How's tomorrow?" Ashley asked.
"Better," Desi answered, "I'll go."
"Alright," I said, "we go from here to Jinxx's house, then we leave around five."
"Sounds good, but do you want me to ride the bus home today then?" Desi asked me.
"No!" I shouted, "we can be late to practice, right guys?" The guys mumbled "yeses" and "sures," so I figured it would be okay.
"I'll go with Jinxx and them," Ashley stated, "you can just drive Desi home."
I nodded and went back to laying on back. Desi followed my example and she looked over at me. I smiled at her and she blushed.
~!~
"Ready to go?" I asked Desi, both of us walking out of the school. She nodded and I unlocked my Hyundai Accent, opening the door for her.
"Can I ask you a question?" Desi looked into my eyes, and I nodded, starting the car and driving out of the school parking lot. "How come you didn't ask me what was wrong this morning?"
I sighed, "because I've been there, in your situation, and I know that when your feel like that the last thing you want people to ask you is what's wrong."
"Well I highly doubt your in my situation, but thank you," she said, "you changing the topic made me feel better."
"What can I say," I shrugged, "I have the magic power to make people smile."
Desi giggled, "well I think that power is going to come in handy when your around me."
"Whenever your sad I'll make you feel better," I said, pulling into her driveway, "promise."
"Thanks," Desi whispered, "hey, can I get your number?"
"Yeah," I replied, handing her my cell phone, she gave me hers and I added my number to her contacts. When she gave me mine back I turned on the camera phone, "come here, I need a picture of you."
"Do I have to?" she whined, "I don't like getting pictures taken of me."
"Please," I groaned, "you look perfect."
"Yeah right," she mumbled, but she smiled anyway. I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer, then took the picture of us.
When I saw the picture I smiled, we were cheek-to-cheek, both of us grinning.
"I actually like that picture," Desi smiled, "can you send it to me later?"
"Sure," I replied.
"Thanks," Desi put her hand on the handle of the car, "thanks Andy, really." I knew she wasn't talking about the picture.
"No problem," I smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"You got it," she replied, getting out of the car. "Bye!" she shouted, waving to me.
I honked the horn at her then started driving toward Jinxx's.
Yep, I thought, I'm defiantly falling for this girl.
I hope you like it!
I'm not going to lie, I'm really falling in love with this story, I hope you guys are!
