Hope Was Here
Six
It was six in the morning and I was making
my way down the rocky path to the corner intersection where my
bus would pick me up.
I'd brushed out my already straight black hair and worn a
blue and white polka dot blouse tucked into white high waisted
shorts. I had on black ankle high moccasins and I was tugging
on the strap of my custom aztec shoulder bag when Alec drove up
next to me in khakis and a grey knit sweater. He had ray bans
on and when he looked up he flashed me a smile and unlocked the
car. "Get in." I grinned and hopped in the passenger
seat.
"You're a life saver, you know." He kissed my
hand and then revved the engine before speeding off towards our
school. Jefferson High loomed up and my smile faltered.
I was the new girl here, i'd almost forgotten.
"So, will you introduce me to your friends?" He
nodded, but was grim faced. "I doubt you'll have
trouble with friends here." I lightly smacked his arm.
"Come on. I'm the weird new girl." He grinned,
"You're not weird, and frankly, you're kinda
hot.." He trailed off and I blushed, I didn't usually
like the analogies men gave females but for some reason i didnt
mind him calling me hot. "Maybe to you."
We got out and he put his arm lightly around me, I leaned into
him and tried to ignore all the stares.
"shes with him?" I could almost
feel Alec grinning next to me, his arm slung protectively over
my lower back.
But, we weren't together.. right? I mean, I'd known the
guy four days. But we did kiss. Oh dear.
"Hey there cutie pie." Blake said, gently tugging me
away from Alec and into a bear hug.
"er, hi." He dropped his arms and winked at me,
"Give me a call if you want me to show you around."
He slipped a piece of paper into my bag. I staggered back and
went to stand with Alec, who'd stopped at his locker. I
brushed his cheek with my hand, "Don't get all worked
up. It was a hug. can you believe people think we're
dating?" I tried to laugh a little but he shot me a look.
"Of course you think it's funny also. Because why
could a guy like me get a girl like you. Oh wait, I cant."
He slammed his locker and was about to storm off but I dropped
my bag and grabbed his arm tight. "Like, what the hell is
your problem Alec? Why do you think I would think something
like that? All i've been is your friend lately, like
you've been to me. Why is it so hard for you to believe
that I like being around you? God. You're seriously ruining
this." He tugged his arm out of my hand, but came back to
me. "I'm sorry. i'm still self concious about
being with the most beutiful girl here."
I smiled despite it all and he kissed me lightly once and then
bent to pick up my bag.
"Sorry for real, now come on." I let him hold my hand
and we walked to the main office together.
