Just Missed Me
Part Two Darcy’s
POV
Nov. 5
"So, whatcha doing this weekend?" Julia asked me once we
got to school.
We started walking in.
"The usual, probably. Tumblin, Witty..." I shrugged.
"Well, don't you party hard?" she laughed and so did
I.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"I'm actually going to a party. Stephanie Melbrook is
throwing one--"
"Again," I interrupted.
"And I thought that it might be fun to go."
"Well, aren't you just little miss popular?" I used
the same tone she used before.
"I think you should come, too. Might be fun. There's a
pool. And hot guys."
She winked.
"Fine. You had me at 'hot guys.' Pick me up before you
go. When is it?" I asked.
"Saturday night. At seven. I'll pick you up then.
Now," we entered the building.
"I have to get to homeroom. Text ya soon." She wiggled
her fingers good-bye
and I did the same.
I turned a corner to go to my locker, and banged into a guy.
Correction: a hot guy.
"Oh, sorry," he said.
"It's okay. Me too," I gazed up at him.
"Nah, it's cool." He looked down at me for the first
time. He started to grin as his
eyes locked with mine. Elephants started marching around my
stomach. RIIIIIING!
"I gotta go. Catch you later?" he said, talking so low,
only I could hear it.
"Yeah..." I trailed off and wandered up the stairs to my
homeroom. I got there
just before the late bell rang.
"Close one," my teacher told me.
I nodded a little, only thinking about his grin when he saw me. And
his eyes. His
beautiful, beautiful eyes...
The bell signifying homeroom was over woke me out of my
trance.
How was I going to make it through the day not seeing him
again?
