Somehow, I never noticed him in my history class until today. I had decided to forgive his 'insolence' yesterday and ignore his presence but when we walked to class and waited at the door he came next to me. Bringing his mouth to my ear he said. "I won that argument yesterday." I was furious. There is NO WAY this boy thinks he topped me, ME! Who does he think he is? I gave him the evil eye before turning my attention to Miranda and her new boyfriend Spencer. The three of us sat at a table of four and I was third wheeling until, Adam one of the new boys in our class - and a new edition to our decided group - came and sat with us.
I'd be lying if I said he wasn't cute or attractive, in a lost puppy sort of way. I'd had a small crush on him ever since we were introduced. He was just so pure and kind and wholesome.
The week passed like that, nothing really happened or changed until we came back to school the next week. We were switching seats and I was moved away from Miranda. Instead I sat with two girls Alyssa and Morgan and JOSIAH.
Our argument had long been forgotten at this point and we hadn't spoke since but I was still unhappy. We all sat down getting used to each other. My desk, of course just HAD to face his directly while the two girls sat together on the left side of either of us. I was determined to ignore his commanding presence and keep my head down. I couldn't stand preps and here he was the leader of all of them sitting with me. I sighed. "Have you guys ever kissed anyone?" he asked suddenly. I was shocked and silent, still keeping my head down. "It doesn't count if its your family either." he stated. Both of the girls replied with a quiet meek "no." One -Alyssa- was completely taken and in love with him, the other feigned indifference. I still refused to reply. "Well I have." he said proudly. "I've made out with a bunch of girls." I rolled my eyes and scoffed under my breath. 'Of course you have' I thought.
"Ok class..." the teacher grabbed our attention and the day went on like that. Me trying to ignore him and listen to the teacher while he tried to make small talk with us. I was still surprised he even bothered to 'acknowledge' our existence. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad afterall.
