Mistakes
Lead to the Best
Memories
Part
Two
At around six foot six, athletic build, dark
brown eyes, almost black shaggy hair, and a
amazingly white smile, he is defiantly the cutest
guy in the school. We all laughed when I smashed
into him, including Nick, however there was
something different about his laughter; sorta
nervous, identical to mine..."Fuckk."
That was Sammi breaking up the laughter. When I
glanced at her she was looking at the car clock.
7:38. "Oh shiz seven minutes till the
bell" I said stepping off the curb, pulling
open the back down and pushing Josh over until I
could squeeze in. "Shiz?" Nick repeated
with an amused tone turning around in his seat to
meet my eyes while he pulled the door closed.
Savannah spoke up explaining "EJ only curses
when she is really mad. So she only says shiz,
crap, heck, dang, and fudge." Nick, still
stareing at me said, "But 'crap' is
still a curse word there Ellie Joan." I start
to turn pink now for two reasons. One he is
stareing at me! And two no one calls me Ellie Joan.
I mean no one, like the first day of school I am
sure to inform my teachers of calling me EJ. Still
half blushing I say," Well my five year old
cousin says it so it can't be that bad."
"I guess you have a point." he said
turning around in the seat as we pulled into the
school parking lot. "And uh you can call me EJ
by the way." I added as Kennedy pulled into a
spot fairly far from the door. When we all got out
of the car I started off with my friends when I
heard Kennedy yell "EJ you dumbasss you left
your books up front." When I turned around to
grab my books from Kennedy I was surprised to see
it was Nick who was holding out my books to me.
"Oh thanks Nick I completely forgot about
them." I said grabbing the books from him
while brushing my fingers against his in the
process. When I looked up at him he grinned, so I
smiled back and turned around to meet up
with my friends because they just yelled
that the bell rang. Nick shouted after
me,"Silly sophomores always got to be on time
huh Ellie Joan?" I yelled, "My apologizes
I didn't realize following the rules was
frowned upon," which earned me a grin,
"and its EJ" as I spun around and walked
backwards towards my friends. When I reached them
Josh grabbed my hand and pulled me through the
door. With a small smile I twisted my hand so I was
the one grabbing Josh's hand. Pulling Josh in
one direction I said "Josh, come on lets go to
our lockers. See you later girls. Mwah." I
blew them a kiss and they returned it. Thank
goodness my last name is Stonem and Josh's is
Stone so our lockers so close to each other.
"So," Josh began," we have that
science project due on Thursday. Can we work on it
at your house afterschool?" "Okie dokes
but we might have to do it in my room because
theres band practice at 4 today." I replied
while opening my locker, throwing my books in and
grabbing my spiral notebook."Great, something
else to distract you EJ" Josh said. I replied
with "Jerk." as I felt a tap on my
shoulder. When I turned around it was Josh's
twin brother Ross. "Move over EJ gots to gets
to me locker." he said while shoving me aside.
I noticed again just how similar they both look.
Brown shaggy hair, strong jaw line, six foot one,
and green eyes. Josh has a beauty mark on his left
ear lobe, and Ross's eyes have a bit of brown
in them you would never be able to tell them apart
otherwise. "So did you get a ride from
Vicky's parents today?" "Yeah I did.
Oh there she is, I'll see you two later."
Ross said and slamming his locker and walking
towards his girlfriend. "Aw super duper,"
I started,"Presh." me and Josh said
together. I glared at him and he laughed and nodded
towards the staircase down the hall. We walked to
our English class room. We got there as the first
bell rang. "Seats and Do Nows,"screamed
our teacher Mrs. Sparks as me and Josh made our way
to our seats. We read and discussed Of Mice and Men
and what we thought of George and Lenny's
relationship. When the second bell rang I had to
shake Josh who feel asleep during the lesson. We
waited by the door for our friends April and Maxxie
who sat at the other side of the room. We all have
math next down stairs so we walk together.
"Josh," April said,"I swear I heard
you snoring the second your head hit the
desk." Grinning he turned and said,
"Sorry but I didn't realize a hundred page
book could have suck a deep plot. I mean those guys
are so close! 20 bucks their gay!" April
laughed; a bit too loudly almost like a crush
laugh. Me and Josh thought the same thing because
he looked at me with raised eyebrows. When I
shrugged he winked at me and smiled at April who
blushed. As we turned the corner I heard my name
being called. Right away I knew who it was because
this person yelled, "Hey Ellie Joan! Wait
up!" I glanced over to where I heard that
being called and confirmed my guess. It was
Nick....
