As I wake up for a new day, I felt refresh and happy. When I came home my dad was passed out the whole night. I felt kind of positive that today was going to be an okay day.
I grab my stuff and hurry out the door, I usually get ready at the school gym locker room.
Today is Friday, the big homecoming football game. I don't like football but it's another event that I don't got to be home. As I get to school I hurry to the locker rooms to put on my clothes, then brush my teeth, get my hair done, and wait until school started. See in order to get points I go to my first class then after I'm gone until lunch. First class is English, which is great because I love English and it's a good start of the day class.
I hear the doors open and all of the cheerleaders come in whispering about Jordan, Jason, and more about the football teams. I only seen Jordan once, he's a senior (lucky) but he's dating one of my friends, I stay away from seniors there mostly trouble. I don't do trouble because as everyone knows there is consequences. I get a little annoyed about the gossips, I try to sneak out as fast as I could, but I fall down in front of them. They all do there girly gasps and laugh!
I get up with my pride and walk out as calmly as possible, I hear a girl yell "Hey, Willow! Are you okay?" As I look up to see who it is I feel my jaw close up, it was Addison, the most popular girl in the whole school. "Did you hit your head, that was a nasty fall." She comments. "Willow???" I don't know what to say or how to say it!
"I'm okay, I fall alot." stupid answer I gave her.
"Do you need to go to the nurse? Oh and you dropped this, don't worry I got to it before any of the other girls got to it, girls and journals it's crazy!" She giggles as she hands me my journal.
My voice gets caught that is the nicest thing a person ever did for me. I light up and just like that I said calmly. "Thank you so much, I have everything in here, that is the nicest thing anyone has done for me!"
She giggles and then says "No problem Willow, but I better get back to practice the ruitiens for the football tonight. I'll see you there right! We need as much luck as we can get!" She says excitedly.
Her energetic personality got me pump and I say " Yeah, I'll be there!" then she walks away. Wow just wow I never been talked to by someone who is like Addison. Blew my mind away.
As I go to my English class a guy is sitting in my chair that means the only chair open is the one in front of the class. Oh, crud.
As the teacher Mrs. M reads the attendance sheet and calling out each one of our names I realized what if everyone was like Addison, warm, energetic, sweat, and generous.
Lost in thought again until the bell rings, I rush out to the outdoors until I hear a desperate cry. "Willow!!" I turn to see it's Carolina, she's running towards me, mascara running down her face.
"What's wrong, what happened?!" I say holding her, the one thing I can't stand is when people are sad and crying. It makes me sad and understand how they are really feeling.
"My dress tore in the dry cleaners, I got nothing for the dance tomorrow. I don't want to go to the mall alone, and I don't want to ask any of our friends because they will bring there boyfriends and not really pay attention to me!" She bawls harder, over a dress? Come to think about it I don't have a dress for the dance.
" Hey, it's okay, don't cry, I don't have one either, we don't need dresses, plus you look good in anything you wear."
She gasps "You don't have one?" Want to go to the mall with me, I'll buy, don't tell the others, but it'll just be us. We'll go after school so we can still make it to the football game!"
"I would love to!" Meet me at my regular spot?"
"Yes!!! I'll see you before then to!!" Then she rushes off before the tardy bell rings.
...,......................
The cafereria bell rings, I took a nap in the library thinking about Carolina and Addison. Today was just a crazy and awesome day.
I walk towards the table and they all looked glum, probably football blues. Not sure if that's an actual thing before I could ask what's wrong the whole cafeteria went crazy loud as the cheerleaders all came to do there cheer for the football players. Then one by one each one of the players came in with there uniforms on and did a weird skit. I went back to my food and waited for them to stop so I can talk to the group.
"You guys okay?" I asked the table
"No!" Naomi yells. "My best friend Adrian is coming to the football game to hang with us."
Oh man, Adrian Ross. The guy I never met but I know how Naomi feels about him. She is totally crazy about him, he left a few years back to go to a new school, his father is a detective and he goes after big crimes.
"Hey, don't be sad, wear a cute outfit, get some makeup on, show him a sexy you." I advised.
She then looks at me and says "Your right. Your right." Then she got up and left to go to the nurse. Usually when she's desperate she runs to the nurse to call her mom to take her home.
"Willow want to ditch school now and go shopping with me?" Carolina asks.
"Yes!" I yelled
We go grab our stuff and take the back doors to leave the building, its better sneaking out then go to the nurse and such. Plus this one gets the adrenaline going. Then we get to her car and off we go laughing and listening to music!
When we get to the mall we go to J.C. Penny's for dresses. She picks out a really beautiful short, tight, faded light blue dress, which goes perfectly with her blue eyes and blonde hair.
I pick out a short grey dress that go with my smoke grey eyes and black long hair. My dress isn't tight that shows the curves it's kind of tight for my boobs but Carolina said it's normal and plus I look great. Carolina has the body of a model, me I am skin and bones, the only thing is big are my DDD boobs and thats it.
We both get our shoes and go to the cashier. "Football game we need cute outfits for the players" She laughs as she looks down at her sweat pants. So we go to another store. She picks out a really cute top and shorts with sneakers. I pick out a gray tank top, and a black mini skirt, I also found some cute long socks that are grey and black combat boots. She thought I needed to look a little slutty so we go get our hair done, our eyebrows waxed, and our bikini wax done. We felt fliry.
It was 5:30, we been shopping since 1:00, the game doesn't start until 6:00. We rush to the game and as soon as we got out of the car the guys from the other school started cat calling. I couldn't help but laugh and join them towards Carolina.
We meet up with the gang and they all look at us and gasps. We did look a little dressed for a football game but I couldn't help it. I never felt so free in a long time. We noticed Naomi wasn't in the group. I hope she was okay, and I hope Adrian asked her out finally, then I hear "Hey, guys." It was Naomi, and oh my god Adrain is next to her, and I can see why she has strong feelings for this guy.
Blonde shaggy hair, bright blue eyes, muscular, jaw bone, the whole vibe around him. I get shy and lost of words. For some reason I wanted him, all to myself. I dislike my feelings that I had over a guy I don't know, who is drop dead gorgeous! He only has his eyes on Carolina, which means they finally did it! I'm jealous but finally, and how he looks at her is like how I want to be looked at by my future hubby.
We all sit on the ground and they all asked about Adrian, who answered all their questions, I wish I could talk and keep a discussion going but it's hard for me. I wanted to know more about him, get close to him, find out who he is.
Half-time, thank God I can start moving my body around. "Anyone hungry?" A beautiful voice asked to the group. I melt big time, his voice is like a really beautiful godlike angel. I think time stopped and I'm sure there is noise around me but I can't hear them it's just Adrain and I. Then reality hit me. Or someone did.
"Stop being rude, are you hungry or not!" Naomi yells at me. I rub my arm and shook my head I'm not hungry.
"Would you like to walk with us.... uh?" Adrain says, looking around to see if someone will say my name.
"Willow, my name is Willow." I answer to him. "But, no I'm not hungry but I'll walk with you guys." I actually responded to him!
As we walk to the concession stand they all ordered what they wanted. Adrain paid for everyone, which is super sweet but Naomi didn't like that at all. He then turns to me and my heart stopped, why is he looking at me like that, why am I lost in his eyes. Time seemed like it stopped again. Why can't I talk. Wait why do I need to talk? I'm so confused.
"Willow are you sure you don't want anything?" He asked me.
"I'm sure, thank you." I said to quickly then he smiles at me. Like actually smiles at me!
There is three things I noticed about Adrian.
1.) He's drop dead gorgeous, and everytime he speaks I'm lost.
2.) He's taken by one of my friends (No go)
3.) I never felt for a guy in my life until I met Adrian Ross.
As we all walk back to our spot I start getting cold I don't know if I show it or not but all of a sudden I feel a jacket go on my shoulders. It's a blue flannel looking jacket that smells very very nice first I thought it was Jeremiah's jacket. I say thank you not turning my head from the football dudes that passed us. Oh no I turned boy crazy didn't I.
"Your welcome." says Adrian. I gasp and look at him. He had a sparkle in his eye, he seemed troubled about something. Then he quickly hid it, and his face went back to his normal expression which is (Dangerous, mysterious, and so sexy!) Then the whistle blew and the game continued. I heard the group talking but I was lost in the game then it gotten quiet I look at the group and it was just Adrain, Jason, Jeremiah, and I. I felt really weird being alone with three guys.
"Jeremiah, were did the girls go.?" I asked him.
"To the bathroom, they asked if you wanted to go but you were lost in thought." He replies.
I felt guilty I didn't even hear them, I was so lost in thought and focusing on the game that I didn't even realize they invited me to go with them.
"Hey, don't be sad, there are always more opportunities to go to the bathroom with your friends." Adrian says and I couldn't stop myself I started to laugh. He smiles at me and my heart stops again! "So tell me about yourself?" He says seriously but still amusment was in his beautiful blue eyes.
I look down and think what should I say to him, what should I tell him, I don't want to tell him my pity life, or that I don't do much, I don't want to lie to him either. I'm in a pickle. Luckily my friends came back at a good time. Naomi sees my face and looks at the guys.
"I seen you and Willow laughing what was that about?" She announced. Everyone looks at me then Adrian. I felt my face go warm, did I just flirt with Adrian... I hope not! I respect other peoples relationship it's my head that it going crazy which I'm glad they can't hear my thought. I smile at the comment in my head. "Why are you smiling! You were flirting with my man!" She screamed at me.
"Naomi, I like to talk to you" Adrian says to Naomi. I watched them walk away and I felt sad for Naomi, why did I do this to her. I didn't mean to flirt with him, he made me laugh, and maybe my thoughts are showing my face expressions. Oh lordy there in a big discussion.
"Willow, that wasn't flirting, don't be sad or upset. You laughed at his jokes we all were tonight, even the girls were laughing earlier. Naomi is just jealous of you, don't take it to heart." Jason says.
"He's right you know, Adrian and Naomi aren't even dating or anything like that. She want to seduce him and claim him. But, he doesn't want her." Carolina says.
"Yeah plus he looks at Willow like she's something to eat." Hope yells and that made us all lighten up.
"TOUCHDOWN!" The announcer yells! "FOURTH QUARTER IS ABOUT TO START!"
We all cheer for our team, then go back to our conversation, and we all see the two walking back. Naomi says she's not feeling good, so Hope gets up and starts walking her to the parking lot. Adrain had a sour mood, I get up and sit next to him.
"I don't want to talk about it." He sneered.
"I wasn't going to ask you what's wrong, it's nice to have someone by your side without talking." I reply. He smiles at me again.
"Your something Willow, I just can't put my finger on it." He says softly.
Then the rest of the game we watched together, sitting close, and then the game ended way to shortly. As everyone is getting ready to leave I stay put and start getting my book out. I wasn't planning on going home tonight, I had such a great night I couldn't possibly go home.
"Are you going to the dance tomorrow?" Jeremiah asks me.
"Yes. Don't tell anyone." I warned. Then we both laugh.
"Cool!" he says happily, but then his mood changes. "Not going home tonight?"
I take a big sigh, and reply. "I can't go home I had an amazing day, I don't want it to end." He then puts his hand on my shoulder, I'll be back, I'm going to get you some things for the night." Then he goes up to Adrian then hurries to his car.
"You okay? Do you need a ride home, Jeremiah said he's coming right back, but I don't want to leave you here alone."
"No, Adrian, I'm staying here for the night. It's peaceful."
"Your going to sleep outside, alone, on a Saturday Night, at the school grounds" He says.
"I'm use to it, don't worry, and I'm sorry for hurting Naomi." He then smiles.
"You didn't hurt anyone, but your very sympathetic, I like that." He then runs his hand through his hair. "I know I don't know you very well, and we just met tonight, but I can't picture this, it's wrong, I can't leave you here alone at night, would you like to stay at my place we have a big back yard and my parents won't mind as long as I call them, it's up to you."
"I wouldn't mind that, but can we wait until Jeremiah comes back I don't want him to worry and ditch him." I say
"Of course, I'm going to call my mom." then with that he leaves me but not too far where we can't see each other. It gets colder and his jacket isn't really helping right now. Where is Jeremiah.
"Good news, I told my mom the situation, you can sleep in the living room, she says it's to cold at night." He says
I just met the guy and I'm going to sleep at his house, what if I fart, or something!
"Sounds perfect!" Then I hear "guys" It's Jeremiah I get up and I grab my stuff and we rush to him.
"Change of plans Jeremiah, Willow is staying the night at my house tonight, your welcome to stay as well." Adrian says.
"Thank you! I'll go, Willow shouldn't be alone with you anyway." He jokes but I knew he was serious.
So I hopped in Adrian's black mustang while Jeremiah followed us in his truck.
......,.....................................
As soon as we get to his drive way, which is like a 50mile drive way. Private property that leads the road to only his house. As soon as I see his house I gasps! Big white mansion with a brown roof, I never seen such a house.
"Welcome to Ross Mansion." Adrian says, laughing at my reaction.
"It's so beautiful!!!" I open my door to grab my things and then he picks me up and put me down behind him.
"No, you don't need to carry anything inside I'll get your things." He says
"What a gentleman" I say in a really sexy accent. Which made us bark in laughter. Jeremiah comes and joins us and we all walk to the Ross's mansion.
