Everyday gets Easier
Chapter 3

Finally! The best part of the school day... when it's over duh! I grab my books out of my gym locker and race out of that stench whole as quickly as possible. I wave goodbye to my friends and slip on my headphones. Music definition:
Indefinable by words alone. It is not only something you hear but what you feel. It is something your soul can reach out and touch. It originates from all over the world since time began. Complex or simple, fast or slow, loud or soft. It is what you feel, or it could be your method of escape or it could just keep you alive.
That is what music means to me. Seclusion from all of the drama around me. Seclusion from people who are just fake and from people who thrive on all the drama around them.
As I jump on the bus I accidently trip and all my papers fly into the air. Typical Peyton. Way to be. I roll my eyes at myself and start scrambling for my history notes before they fly away.
“Here let me help you with that.” I look up at the unrecognizable voice before me. My eyes go wide as I look at him. Brian. How could I not recognize his voice? Brian is the kindest and polite guy that I have ever met. He has the best personality in the world and plus he isn’t something bad to look at either. ;) He gave me one of his extraordinary smiles and helped me pick up the rest of my books and notes.
“Uhmmm Thanks Brian. I appreciate it.”
“No problem Pey. Anything for someone in need.” As he said this my heart melted. He’s such a gentlemen. I felt my heart stop. But let’s face it he would never fall for me. Look at me. I’m Ugly and I am a freshman, he’s a junior. How would that ever work out? My thought were interrupted by a small tear running down my cheek and a hand on my shoulder. “Peyton…. What is it? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
I looked into his BEaUtiful eyes. Deep pools of dark chocolate and just wiped the tear off my face. “I am fine. I uhhh just scraped my knee badly. I’ll see you later.” I replied a little too quickly and I jumped onto my bus leaving him there stunned and bewildered.
“Alright Peyton. I guess I will see you later…” his voice faded from my hearing as I slipped my headphones back on since they fell off when I tripped. Why are you getting so worked up? It’s a boy. Just a boy! You barely know him and come on Pey. You don’t want a replay of what happened to you last time you liked a guy. I slipped on my Ray-Bans and tried to forget how much I just embarrassed myself. I have come to learn a few things in my short fifteen years of my life concerning love since I have only truly loved someone once. Yes it’s true you are never too young to fall in love but, falling in love hurts. All that happens is you fall for someone (and boy did I fall hard) and with luck they fall for you too. But you can never really tell if they do. That’s the problem with guys you get me? They never fully just come up to you and say I like you. Why would they ever do that? Maybe they just have too much fun leading on girls instead of being honest when they don’t like us. But I have learned my lesson. That’s why my heart and soul are locked up. Waiting for someone to have my key in there heart.
