Chapter 2

Finally at school, it's 8:50...

The wind rustles as the silence presumes since everyone is currently in class.

¨you know school doesn't look too bad when I'm not actually in class, it's so peaceful out here.

I missed my entire 1st-period class.

It's alright though it's not like I was excited to have history first period anyway.

Oh, I almost forgot I have pe.

Great.

If I didn't have history and then pe right after IN THE MORNING maybe school wouldn't be so bad to go to every day.

I mean besides the fact that Amaris or as people call her Mari is in my pe class. Just an ordinary popular girl right?

Wrong

She single-handedly the kindest and the best-looking girl in our school

Everyone seems to agree on that too.

That would be great besides the fact that I've developed a crush on her.  

A major one too.

Walking onto the campus I hear that familiar background noise of the popular students getting in trouble by the security for being in the bathroom trying to skip. 

¨ How have these people not been suspended, all they do is skip always the same people too.¨

Heading to the office to get a late pass 

¨HEY XAVIER¨

¨I know that voice, Could it be..¨

¨Amaris?!¨

¨yeah heyy! I thought you weren't gonna come I was starting to get worried hah¨ she looks at him with ´eyes that can only be described being as bright and beautiful  stars in the starry night.´

¨There's no way she is talking to me. I didn't even know she knew my name. She noticed I wasn't here?! I have to be dreaming¨

¨Hello? You good¨

¨Oh yeah I'm sorry about that, I zoned out a bit.¨

¨How did you know I wasn't here?¨

¨quite simple really, you are always coming through speed walking into your class like 30 seconds before the bell rings but this time I didn't see you come through.¨ 

¨She noticed all that. Maybe she likes me. No. But maybe. No, nevermind your just being delusional¨

¨Well we should probably get going to pe huh¨ she laughs

… 

¨Already lunch, pe was okay. Still shocked about Amaris earlier I could not stop staring at her after that. She's so pretty how can a girl like-¨

¨Hey Xavier! You totally like Amaris don't you?¨

¨No way it's Aiden.. how does he know that¨

¨Yes. No. I don't know. Maybe. How do you know that?!¨

He scoffs. ¨How would someone not know? You stare at her like she just saved your life with those shimmering eyes.¨

… 

¨Okay well maybe I do like her so what¨

¨We all know by now Xavier, she doesn't like you. She, of course, likes me. How would she not? With my looks, I'm the biggest girl puller in school.¨

¨He's right. Amaris likes him, who wouldn't..¨

¨Yeah sorry man but she's into me totally, and only me so back off weirdo. Maybe find someone in your league like that trash over there¨ He laughs turning back to go to his popular friend group¨

Coming back home was gloomy as Aiden was so brutal earlier how could he even say that while laughing too? He was right though how can a pretty popular girl like a lonely guy unlike him he has every quality a guy would need for a girl.

¨I need a nap that's what.¨

Getting home he Rests his eyes as he slowly drifts off until

*buzz*

¨What could that be no one even te-¨

His eyes widened 

 ¨Am I dreaming, Amaris just requested to follow me! But why?¨

¨oh but she likes Aiden right.. Okay but a little texting won't hurt right?¨

¨OH, SHE'S TYPING OH MY GOD¨

*buzz*

A: ¨Is this Xavier?¨

Me: ¨yes! :) ¨

A: ¨Oh heyy I saw this account and I was wondering if it was you!¨

Me: ¨ Well you got the right account because it is me lol¨

Me:¨ but hey random question but do you like anyone?..¨

The typing bubble went on for maybe even more than a minute or so

¨did I mess up, oh no why did I ask this maybe she knows I like her now, even though Aiden probably got to her before me but still¨

*buzz*

A: ¨yeah but it's a secret hehe¨ 

A: ¨what about you?¨

Me: ¨It's a secret too¨

A: ¨okayyy lol¨

 ...

Chapter 3

¨finally it's a weekend, I've been drained from all the work they've given me!¨

¨It seems like a great day today, maybe I should go to 7-11, get some snacks and come back. A laid-back day should be good¨

Walking to 7-11 the fresh breeze of the morning is cold but relaxing

…

¨What should I get? A drink should be a good start¨

Walking over to the drink section someone familiar appears. 

¨ Wait, is that Amaris? Maybe I should talk to her!¨

¨Ḧey Am-¨

¨Hey Mari got your drink? Ohh that one is good I love it but not as much as I love you¨ He smirks

¨Aiden really?...¨ She scoffs

I walk backward quickly trying to hide

¨I should've known... Aiden is totally dating Amaris and their hanging out too¨

¨I knew it I didn't have a chance with her¨

Walking out of the store I look back one more time to see Amaris spot me with a shocked look

¨Great now she thinks I'm stalking her now too¨

He quickly walks out of the store not looking back this time.

…

Inside the store

¨was that Xavier?!¨

¨You don't need to worry about that your here with me now.¨ 

¨Aiden yes it does matter, he seemed sad¨ 

¨probably cause he saw that we are so in love with each other¨

¨No we aren't... And why would Xavier care though?¨

¨Are u stupid? That guy totally likes you, but I already told him he has no chance and that you like me isn't that true Mari?¨

¨WHAT NO I DON´T GET AWAY FROM ME WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??¨

¨Hey I was just looking out for you, don't you wanna have a handsome guy like me to be yours?¨

¨NO I DON'T, AND EVEN MORE NOW¨

¨FINE. Go off to your nerdy boy¨ He rolls his eyes

¨ That's what i'll be doing thanks.¨ She spits out

Walking out of the store she spots Xavier sitting by the curb

¨Xavier?¨

¨ Oh Amaris hey.¨

¨You seem upset are you okay

¨Yeah I'm okay..¨

She sighs ¨So, Aiden told me that you liked me?´

Ḧe looks back up at her 

¨yeah it is true, I know it's weird that I do, you don't have to tell me I already know I'm out of your league¨ He looks down

¨What no that's quite the opposite, I actually like you as well.¨

His eyes turn back up to look at her, confused and shocked

¨You do?¨

¨yeah.¨

¨ Then why were you hanging out with Aiden?¨ 

¨Oh that, yeah I didn't even tell him to come he just happened to find me it was really weird maybe he was following me or something¨ she laughs

He lets out a slight laugh

¨so you don't like Aiden?¨ 

¨Yeah I don't, I kinda hate him, he's so self-absorbed.¨ she rolls her eyes

¨ I'm glad we can both agree on something¨ he smiles.

¨ Well what now?¨ he says shyly

¨I say maybe we can hang out right now you know maybe get to know ourselves better?¨ she smiles

¨Really??!!¨ he smiles

¨Yeah of course¨ she giggles
