Standing Out
CHAPTER TWO
"Yeah, Collin's my neighbor..." I replied to the group of people staring at me waiting for an answer. They all looked at each other and smiled as if they were all thinking the same thing. I asked them what the big deal is about Collin Walker and they all giggled and a girl named Lauren starts to say
"Collin Walker is the captain of the football team, he's a straight A student, and he's absolutley gorgg."
Then Julia chimed in
"Hes super duper rich and has the nicest family ever, including an adorable baby sister!!!" Julia was obviously one of those teens who loves kids.
Then Haylee finally said
"AND HES SINGLE!!" We all let out a laugh and then we went on talking about things like shampoo and perfume. Finally it was time to go back to our classes so I stopped by my locker to grab my binder for the second half of the day, Then I ran into Collin again he smiled and said "Aldie!" I replied with a smile and I felt myself blushing, then he asked what class I had next, which was Biology, he replied
"No way! Me too! Oh I gotta go get my things, see you soon!"
And before he left, he kissed my cheek! Then I saw a group of girls start to look at me and sigh, then my friends came up and started to squeal when I told them what happened, then I headed off to Biology, when I got there I sat at an empty lab table. Then when the bell rang everyone was scattered around sitting by their friends chatting until the teacher came in. he wrote his name on the white board. Mr.Camponelli, I looked around the room and saw Collin sitting by a guy who I recognized from the whole lunch fiasco. Mr.C then announced that we would have assigned seats, "phew." I thought to myself, I didn't want to sit alone all year. As the teacher began calling off names I wrote down what happened in the hallway in my journal, it felt like I had escaped to my own little world.
I was brought back to reality when Collin tapped on my shoulder and said
"Hey lab partner!"
I jumped and quickly closed my journal, then he laughed and I could feel myself start to blush agian, dang! Why did he have to be so charming?
After Mr.Camponelli finished his lesson he had us get to know our lab partners, so naturally people started to talk and the noise grew louder and louder until Collin started to talk to me, then everything else was quiet.
"So where you from, Aldie?" Collin asked sweetly
"Minnesota" I answered blushing. He smiled and then replied with a calm "Ahhh i see."
After biology Collin walked me to the locker and said to me "Well Aldie from Minnesota, it was nice getting to know you.. I was uh-wondering.. if you'd.. ya know, like to hang out tonight? My house?"
I felt my heart jump as I said probably a little too loud "Yes, I'd love too!" He smiled his little Collin smile and said "Sweet, I'll give you a ride home?" I agreed and we went off to our separate classes, the rest of the day flew by, probably because I was thinking of Collin the whole time. After school I practically ran to my locker and shoved my books in my bag, then I rushed to Julias locker which was super close to mine and told her and some of the other girls standing there about today, but in mid-sentence they all started to grin and I felt two arms come around me from behind, I screamed and snapped my head around to see Colin there. I playfully hit him and yelled "You scared the crap out of me!!" He yelled and tugged at me to head his way. He asked me if he could put his arm around me and I sarcastically replied "I guess so" while smirking, then we walked up to a group of guys who looked like they were on the football team, they all started to stare at me as we walked up then Collin punched one of them who practically had their mouth hung open, then he introduced me to them, until he got to the last one, his name was Issac, he looked different from the rest, his eyes, it seemed, they looked innocent.. but Collin drew my attention away from Issac as he said "Well Aldie and I have got a date with some movies and popcorn, see ya guys!"
I yelled back "Buh-bye boyss!"
When we got in the car Collin didn't start it immediatly he looked over at me and said "Did you see how much those guys drooled over you??" I laughed and said "yeah.. I know." He just smiled at me and leaned over to kiss my cheek before starting the car. We finally pulled up to his house, and he said "Great first day, huh Mrs. Baker?" I replied "Yeah it really was!" He smiled and we walked inside, he introduced me too his family and sure enough he had a baby sister. Then we walked up to his room and I sprawled across the floor and he lied down next to me, and we just lied there talking about anything and everything for what seemed like hours...
