Day Fifty-Six: Crazy/You Drive Me Crazy by Aerosmith/Britney Spears
"Are you sure you can't just let me ditch school with you?" I asked with a small pout. I really hoped he'd say yes.
He shook his head. "As enticing as it sounds, I don't think so, Spence. It's the last day of finals, anyway," he said before pushing back a strand of my hair.
Seeing his piercing blue eyes staring at me made my heart jump. I hated knowing I couldn't do anything about these butterflies he gave me.
I kissed him once quickly before I pulled my backpack closer. "Will I see you later?"
He nodded. "I'll see you later."
I smiled, recalling that the next day was Senior Ditch Day, and most of the seniors from both of our schools would be going to the beach.
"You look like hell, Spencer," Aria commented as she took a bite of salad. I scowled at her.
"Don't tease her, Aria. She was probably up all night last night," Emily insinuated.
I gave her a surprised look. "Doing what, exactly?" I asked.
Hanna smirked beside me. "Doing who, more likely. Should we be asking Toby some questions?" she inquired.
"Don't be ridiculous, Hanna!" Emily scolded. "She was probably up all last night, just thinking of him."
Aria laughed. "Em, don't be ridiculous; she was probably up all night studying for the big History final today," she corrected.
I just sighed. "No, Emily is right," I disclosed. "But I don't really care. I think he's coming over with some of his friends later. Are you guys coming?"
Hanna was the first to nod eagerly. "Is Caleb coming?"
I shrugged. "I didn't ask, but he's Toby's best friend; why wouldn't he come?"
Hanna tugged on my braid before taking it out. The four of us were in the barn getting ready for the guys to come over. But all of us were too lazy to change out of our school uniforms, so we were still in our short pleated skirts and dress-code shirts.
"I'm going to go get snacks," Hanna announced before getting up to go back into the main house. Aria, Emily, and I stayed in the barn.
Hanna walked outside. She noticed Toby, Caleb, Jason, and Noel rounding the corner, but decided not to greet them. She hid behind some trees, trying to hear their conversation.
"You're dead. She's got you wrapped around her finger," Jason teased, with Toby trying to conceal a small blush. Hanna couldn't help but snicker quietly.
"Are you even dating her? Are you guys actually going out?" Caleb asked.
"I really like her, but I don't know. What if I like her and it's pointless? What if she could really care less what happens to our relationship when she goes off to college?" Toby inquired.
"Guess you'll just have to follow her there."
I was digging my feet into the wet sand. Everyone was being rowdy and reckless on the main part of the beach, but I liked having this small section to myself. It was a quiet little spot right around the bend where the land curved.
I stared at the sunset. In order to really enjoy it, I had to block out the stupidity that was no doubt happening amongst the seniors from both the boys' school and the girls' school.
"Hey!"
I turned around and saw Toby. He had a special certain sparkle in his eyes. I didn't know what to do now that he was here.
He sat down beside me. "What are you doing here by yourself?"
I was quiet for a moment. My breath hitched. "I needed to…get away from all of that."
He nodded. "Too much of people acting like idiots?" he asked.
I couldn't help but laugh a little. "Exactly."
I looked at him for a few seconds more. A little part of me just wanted him to lean over and whisper a bunch of sweet nothings in my ear, for him to tell me that he really liked me—maybe even loved me—like I thought I just may have loved him and only him. This whole time, the butterflies made me feel insane.
"I'd love to get away from that more often," he said absent-mindedly as he looked down at his hands.
I nodded slightly. I could feel my heart racing faster. I knew I just had to ask him.
"Toby? Can I ask you a question?" I asked.
He nodded, looking at me with those piercing blue eyes again.
I had to take a deep breath. "What are we? I mean…I like being around you and we've kissed each other…a lot. But…I don't know what you are to me. If that makes any sense," I said.
I couldn't have phrased that in any worse a way.
He thought for a minute. "I don't know. I guess I'm scared to call you my girlfriend because of what happens after this summer," he disclosed. "What if we go separate ways?"
I thought for a minute. "Then…we go separate ways," I said with a small shrug.
He thought again. "I guess that the future doesn't matter to you?"
I was silent for a moment. "No," I admitted quietly.
I saw him bite his lip, like he was contemplating what to say. But he didn't say anything. He just kissed me. I was taken aback to say the least.
I felt my back press against the cool, wet sand. He pulled away for the first time.
"Whoa, I—"
I didn't know what to say. It was one of those kinds of life-changing kisses, the kind you can't describe with words. All you knew about them was that they changed your perspective on everything.
Sarah: Awesome! I am actually looking into publishing a book. I was originally thinking of taking FMN and changing the names (since it might as well be AU anyway), but now I want a whole new story. Ideas are always welcome :) I love John Green's series Crash Course. If you've never watched it, it's FABULOUS. Just awesome. Okay, my writing was pretty bad back then (and yes, we call them grades) in like Grade 1-5, but the ORIGINALITY of some of those stories, though...that was good. It was actually better than good. I wish I still had that...thank you!
AL3110:Don't shoot me, but I actually don't care much for accents. IDK what it is about them. I just...meh. And UGH that reminds me I AM SO PISSED because Toby isn't in the first episode of Season Five. I feel violent and not in a good way. I just want to punch someone in the face. I want my Toby Cavanaugh on my TV screen June whenever.
MizzIsTheFizz: Thank you. And yup, sums up my life. I just had French Vanilla ice cream with oreos. No wonder I'm unhealthy. Actually, I'm not that unhealthy. Just making unhealthy dietary choices.
NewEnglandMuggleGirl: Thank you very much.
Yeah, soo...I didn't exactly know how I felt about this one. On one hand, I liked it, but on the other...I'm afraid to get too attached to it. And I feel like I really screwed up somewhere.
So I'm rushing so I can watch my new ep of DM before my mom comes...
The next one-shot will be one of my favourites so far, Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat and if you do not know this song IDK what to even tell you...
Okay byeeeee -Kayson
P.S: If anyone is interested, I am willing to look through my boxes of yesteryear crap to tell you guys about the stories I wrote when I was a littlun.
