Before school I had texted Toby and he had suggested we meet this morning for coffee. I had replied without a second thought and was waiting for him outside the cafe, with his order and mine in hand. I knew exactly what we liked, and he knew my preferences as well. I found his eyes in the crowd of people and he ran up and hugged me, carefully though, so that we wouldn't spill the drinks. I could smell his cologne, which was comforting for some reason.
"You are the most thoughtful person ever Spence. Really though, thanks!"
"I would do it anytime for the best boyfriend ever! Hows your truck?" We sat down at the table right in front of the window that we always claimed.
"Awesome! Apparently the problem with the odometer was an easy fix. What's going on with you?" I sighed. I was still tired from last night.
"Same old. My parents being awful, Melissa being awful, fighting. I don't know, I don't really care." I wasn't really sure how to answer, I knew he would be accepting of anything I said though.
"You know if they ever get on your nerves you can call me up and come over. I'd sure love to have you." He smiled and raised his eyebrows pointedly. I smiled back.
"It'll be fine, but I'll keep that in mind." It sounded pretty nice actually, I might end up taking him up on that.
"Wait, what did you get? It sure cooled down fast." I looked down at the cup of milk I had gotten, which had to have been so much healthier than coffee.
"A refreshing glass of low fat milk. Why?" I gave a corny thumbs up and a commercial smile, but Toby just gave me this confused look of disbelief.
"Why would you want milk instead of coffee? You always drink coffee, you adore it."
"Because it's less calories, and just better for you." I took another sip. He still looked confused.
"Oh common Spencer really? Less calories?"
"Yeah, It's nothing, okay? Do you wanna head to school? I still have to retake that science test."
"Whatever floats your boat. Let's get going!"
We pushed in our chairs and walked down the sidewalk with our arms around each others waists. He was so wonderful. Thoughtful, caring, sweet, and what girl can complain about a six pack? And soon I knew I would be beautiful enough for him.
Later in the day I walked to lunch with my friends. Hanna was ranting to us about how dumb our science teacher was and I was agreeing with everything she said. We took our usual table in the cafeteria. Everyone got out their food while Hanna continued on her relentless rant. I reached into my sack to see the sandwich I had made myself this morning, orange slices, and a bag of chips. I set out the sandwich and the orange slices, but hesitated with the chips. I probably wouldn't be hungry enough for them anyways, and who needs the extra carbs? As I was reading the nutrition facts, Emily interrupted my thoughts.
"Spence what are you doing?" Suddenly everyone was baring a questioning expression.
"Math. It's fine guys." Which, technically I was, mentally calculating the calories and fat. I put the chips back in the bag and turned my attention back to Hanna, who didn't look like she was going to continue.
"Okay, we know your a nerd and smarter then smart Spence, but nobody spends their lunch time doing math."
"Were you reading the nutrition facts?" Aria gave me a weird look. And then Hanna and Emily started giggling. I wanted ask them what on earth was funny.
"No, it's fine okay? No big deal, lets hear the rest of Hanna's rant shall we?" Aria stopped me.
"Spencer, you don't need to be adding up calories, and you definatley don't need something else to be worrying about, your already OCD about too many things." The other girls agreed to her lies and began eating their lunches. I started on the orange peels, knowing those would be acceptable, but decided to throw away the chips and only eat half the sandwich. And then this afternoon I could go running. And then maybe do some crunches. It would be fine.
