I walked the hallway of ReinFeild High , listening to my best friend Kristen Wright, tell me of the events of her experience yesterday in seminar. "Yeah! He's new. Really hot too. Hr just walked in, smiled and sat beside me!!" "Wow. Sounds like you have a crush." I think
I think she sensed the anger in my voice, because she started walking away. I was angry. She always had to brag about guys that she got.. Even when she knew I wanted him. "Hey Jenna, Whats wrong?" My good friend Ryan approached me and took my chin in his hand and held my head up so I could look into his eyes. "I'm fine, just distracted , Ryan." I had been in love with Ryan since 7yh grade, and being a senior in highschool now, it's kind of sad that I havent said anything yet. " I've gotta go Jinnypig, I'll see you at lunch." Jinnypig was my nickname that Ryan created in 4th grade for me.
It wasn't quite ideal, but it was okay. I walked to my second block and took my seat in Mr. Andersons class. The bell rang and a few students ran in, and took thier seat. Mr. Anderson began to speak about The Civil Rights Movement, when suddenly, a new guy walked in. "Where have you been young man?" Mr. Anderson inquired. "Im new, I couldn't find the room." "Stand up and introduce yourself then." Mr.Anderson laughed and went back to writing on the board.
The new guy stood at the head of the class and spoke quietly and clearly. "Hi, Im Alec. I moved here from Washington with my mom." Alec walked back to his seat, beside me. I was blushing and he just smiled back and looked at me. "What page?" he asked. "Oh! 356." I whispered to avoid getting detention from Mr.Anderson. "Id like to know the name of my new seat partner..?" He teased. "Well, Im Jenna.." I looked at Alec and smiled as he chuckled. I studied him closely. He was tall, about 6'2 and had dark black hair, cut in a skater boy look. He had these deep blue eyes that almost looked violet, and this perfect set of white teeth, with these gorgeous lips. "Ms.Caste, Can you please elaborate on the March On Washington? You seem so very interested in the lesson." Mr.Anderson asked. "Well..." I talked for about ten minutes until the bell rang.
I bent down to pick up my Fox bookbag when I felt someone grab my arm. Startled, I jumped around. "Walk with me to lunch? I'm kinda lost around this place." Alec let go of my arm and stood there looking into my green eyes. "Yeah. I have to stop at my locker though." I calmly spoke despite the joy I felt. "I'll walk with you. Common. Let's go." Alec walked beside me down the hallway. He was soo manly. The way he walked said 'back the heck off' and it was so sexy. He was sexy. I couldn't keep my eyes off him. It seemed as though Ryan was a thing of the past We walked into the lunchroom and got in line. We talked and laughed, and hot some weird looks from people. I was envied by so many girls at that moment. "Jenna? Is everything okay?" Ryan came and stood beside me. "Everythings fine here, thanks." Alec spoke evenly but dominantly. " I wasn't asking you. Jenna? Who is this a**hole?" Ryan seemed very mad. "Im fine Ryan." I didn't have much time to reply because Alec got in front of me. "She said she's fine. You can go now. shes obviously happy here." Alec got a sense of sarcasm in his voice. He and Ryans strength was even, although Ryan was slightly shorter. "Guys, Stop. I'm fine. I'll see you later Ryan." "Ill see you after school Jenna. Maybe I'll take you home do we can talk." Ryan was shaking and red as he walked away.
Alec looked at me in confusion. "Who was that? And why did he act like he owned you?" "That was my friend Ryan. He's never acted that way before." " If he ever bothers you tell me." Alec seemed angry too. I was completely confused. Alec and I found an empty table and sat down. " So are you gonna ride home with him?" Alec asked. "I guess ..." " I could give you a ride, If your not afraid of a bike." "A bicycle? No!!" I laughed. "No? A motorcycle?" He laughed at my stupidity. " oh!!! Yeah. I'll see if I can." The school day ended and I found out that Alec and I had 4th block together too. I walked outside to the school parkinglot and waited on Ryan and Kristen. I heard Kristin yelling after me. " Jenna!! I have so much to tell you!!!" Kristin kept talking until Ryan arrived and shut her up. " You ridin home with me or what?" Ryan spoke, still angry with me. "Well..." I said trying to avoid an answer. "Well what?" Ryan stated angrily. Suddenly, Alec appeared, put his arm around my waist and stared at Ryan. "You comin, beautiful?" Alec spoke, still giving Ryan the death stare. "yeah. Where should I put my books?" " I'll get it. Let's go." Alec grabbed my books and walked away. " Are you serious Jenna?"Ryan yelled at me. I turned and said an awkward apology, then saw Alec waving for me to come to his bike. I got on, as the engine revved, and Alec squealed the tires as Ryan stood there red with anger and Kristin beside him, with her mouth wide open.
The next day came and I waited in the school parking lot to see Alec. He didn't show up. I walked in the school and immediately saw Ryan. "Wheres your little friend?" " I dunno. Why are you so mad Ryan? I spoke calm and easy. "Cuz you chose him over me!!!! I thought I was your best friend not sone trashy possesive freak!" "Seems to me like youre the possesive one here!!!!" I almost yelled. "Fine! Screw you!" Ryan stormed off. I was almost in tears. How could he say that to me? It isn't fair that I've waited for him so long and when I finally have someone, he gets mad. He knows that he can hurt me so easy.. "Hey, what's wrong? Are you ok?" He was just there suddenly. Hugging me and telling me it was okay. "I'm okay Alec." I sobbed. "Common, I have an idea." With that, he took my hand and walked with me past Ryan, as we left the school campus on his bike.
We rode on his bike for almost an hour. He had nonplans to tell me where we were going, he just said 'you'll see' everytime I asked. We rode through cities and towns and finally arrived at a resturant named "The Bluestone Diner." We were soon seated and Alec ordered us a few pancakes. We talked and ate for a while, until Alec suddenly stood up and walked over to pay for our meal. "Come on
"Come on I have something to show you." Alec said happily. We walked out of the diner and past his bike. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Shh. You'll see." Alec said. He was a mystery to me. I had just met him yesterday and we were already out together. Alec ran down a hill into the woods, leaving me behind. I heard a loud scream followed by a splash. I ran down the hill and almost fell in to a river. I didn't see him anywhere. I began screaming " HELP!!!! Alec!!!!! Alec!???!!!!" My eyes frantically scanned the water but I saw no movement. Suddenly, I felt someone grab me from behind. I screamed and began kicking around. "Hey that hurts!! Common Jenna let's go for a swim." Alec was dripping wet and in his boxers and looking very sexy with his messy, wet hair.
"I can't get in! I have no extra clothes!" I said to him. "Its either skinny dipping or that." Alec Chuckled and dove into the deep water. I took off my shirt and jumped in with my shorts and bra on. Alec swam out to a huge rock in the middle of the river. I followed behind him and climbed up the rock. "Last one down has to walk home!!" I yelled as I jumped. I came up out of the water and looked up right as Alec jumped. He splashed in right beside me. I felt him pull me under. We both came up for air as Alec said "Too bad you can't drive a motorcycle!" I laughed and dived under and swam to the shore. "Come here!" I yelled to Alec, who was swiiming towards me.
Alec approached me smiling, and asked, "How long can you hold your breath?" "Maybe thirty seconds...why?" I was somewhat worried by the question. "Follow me." Alec winked and disappeared under the water. I followed, just as he said.
