Hii, so this is the first chaphter of my new story. It's called "But Why?" I'll put up other chaphters later, just tell me what you think so far (: ;
But Why?
My average day at school is getting pushed around, judged, everyday. Honestly people have no idea how much they hurt me, they don't realize it.
I have only a handfull of real friends. But I'd say my life is pretty good. I get home, to find my parents fighting. Thats not unusual, its daily almost.
I'm suprised they haven't gotten divorsed yet, with my luck, they will soon. It breaks my heart. I set my stuff down and start to do my homework.
I have tons. I suddenly get a text from my bestfriend Katelyn. The text reads "I just met a guy that would be perfect for you. He's Austin's bestfriend. Come over!!" Austin is Katelyn's boyfriend, and Katelyn and Austin both live in my neighborhood. So I walk over to Katelyn's house, to find her and two other guys talking.
One of those guys, is Austin. He waves. But the other guy? I'm not sure. All I know at this point, is that he's cute.
I walk over to them and Katelyn introduces me. "Tanner, this is Lauren. She's my bestfriend and Austin knows her pretty well too." Tanner. Thats his name. He smiles at me as I do a short small little wave. Things are silent for about 10 seconds and then Austin and Tanner start talking about football so Katelyn pulls me over to the other side of her driveway, where they boys cant hear us.
"Lauren you KNOW he's cute. Start talking to him, get to know him. If you don't do anything, I will because I can tell already, that you like him.", Katelyn said.
I smile a little bit and say, "Well I don't really know him..But I guess..." Katelyn walks me back over to the guys. I'm too shy to even do what Katelyn told me to do. I'm pretty sure that Austin talked to Tanner about getting to know me. I'm also
completely sure that both of them are trying to hook me and Tanner up. Tanner doesn't seem too shy, he says "So..Lauren, you seem pretty cool. Would it be weird if I asked for your number?
I know thats sounds creepy but I want to get to know you, Katelyn tells me cool things about you. I play football and I skateboard. You play any sports?"
I'm shy as hell, as I reply to him by saying "Sure, I'll get your number from Austin or Katelyn and text you later. And that's pretty cool. I play soccer." He smiles and says "Oh okay, and that's awesome. I used to play. Well I got to go, but text me later. And by the way...You're really cute." He picks up his skateboard and hopps on, and rides back to a house thats about 3 doors away from mine.
What he said, made my day. I just smile a little bit but I'm screaming with happiness inside. Usually guys don't say that about me. I'm not so popular, and I'm not so pretty. Katelyn says "Mom's calling, I gotta go inside." She kisses and hugs Austin.
Then Katelyn and Austin both are leaving her driveway as I walk back to my house. As I'm Happy as ever, I realize I have to get to know Tanner before anything happens. I can't make things go by too fast, or I'll just get heartbroken.
