Chapter 1
It was like I was blind. And he was the only thing I could see. It was if everything else was blurry and he was the only thing that was clear. Then I fell and everything was clear once again. "Are you okay?" he asked me, while he was helping me get up.
"...Yeah," I felt like there was a lump in my throught. It was very hard to talk.
"That's good. you took quite a hard fall. Well I am JJ, nice to meet you." He said shaking my hand.
The touch of his skin made my heart skip a beat. His skin was cool and smooth, it was lovely. "I'm Alex, nice to meet you as well. I better be going don't want to be late. Seeya around." I can't believe I said that many words without sounding like an idiot.
I turned around and strted walking to walk to English, I think he called out "Seeya around Alex!" But I couldn't be sure cause I was quite far away from him.
In English I couldn't quite concentrate because my mind was trying to figure out when "later" was. It could be lunch or it could be next year for all I know. It will probably be never, cause he doesn't seem to find anyone in this school attractive enough, but that doesn't stop them -actually us- from trying.
I walked to lunch still deep in thought, as I made my way to the table I usually sit at when JJ came up and said, " Hey Alex do you want to sit with me today?"
I looked at Steph -my best friend- who was giving me the thumbs up sign, I gave her a barely noticeable nod and then tried to say yes to JJ. JJ put his free arm around my waist and led me towards a free table. I had stopped breathing.
" So Alex what are you in next?" JJ asked me all of the sudden.
I had to think about it for a minute, what am I in? Oh yeah, P.E. my favourite subject, "P.E. what about you?"
"P.E. as well, that is so funny!"
I laughed, then thought "Yes, we have swimming which means I could show off my althletic body."
After I had finished my lunch and put my tray away, it was time for P.E. JJ walked with me to the P.E. department with his arm around my waist. It felt good, like it was ment to be there.
I love swiming, it was one of my favourite sports -after dancing and gymnastics that is. The activity in swimming was diving, diving wasn't my favourite part of the swimming block but at least I was good at it. JJ was up first because his surname is Allan. He preformed a great dive, there was hardly a splash. It was like he was a pro, I waited till it was my shot I was the last in the class -it isn't fair I am always last- because my surname is White.
When it was my shot I tried to do a perfect dive without a splash, I think my dive was very straight but I heard a very big splash. Hopefully I was wrong and it was only a small one because if it was a big one all my hopes and dream were down the drain.
When I was out off the pool JJ came up to me and said, "That was a really good dive, are you going to try out for the diving team at the tryout tomorrow?"
"Mabey, I'm not sure diving is really fun. Are you?"
"I might, I do like diving and it is fun but my favourite sport is cross country and I would rather go in the the team for that. Do you like cross country?"
"Yes, cross country is one of the things at school I was great at," I thought. So I replied enthusiastically " Yeah I love it."
"That's great, will you come and try out for the team with me on Monday?" He asked me looking intensely into my eyes, it gave me butterflies in the pitt of my stomach.
I couldn't reply because when I went to speek it felt like the butterflies were making there way up and out of my mouth. It felt strange but I liked it, so since I couldn't talk I just nodded like an idiot.
After P.E. I ran to maths because the bell went five minutes earlier. When I got into the class I saw that JJ was sitting in the seat next to me. I blushed bright red and went to sit beside him.
The intense connection between our bodies was so over powering, I just wanted to move his head towards mine and kiss him. Then he tuned to look at me -just the way I wanted him to- his beautiful face made me stop and stare, -also I think I was drooling- it was breathtaking. That is when I fainted...
