Staring At Falling Stars, chapter 1
Okay here we go, you're having one of the best dreams you have had in a long time. In your mind you finally get up the nerve to tell him how you feel. After all these years you've known each other and you are letting it all out. Then right when he's about to speak... "JESSIE GET YOUR ASS UP! WE HAVE TO LEAVE IN 15 MINUTES!" ' Aw Damn it to hell.' You think. " But Mike I don't want to go to school today!" You scream back. " Come on, I don't want to go either but we don't really have a chioce now do we?" Mike says, walking in your room and handing you some clothes folded and just out of the dryer. "Thanks." You say as he leaves giving you a gentle good morning smile. "~sigh~ That was a good dream." you mumble as you pull on your jeans. You look down at what shirt he gave you and it's one of your favorites. It's blue and has a white collar with white stripes down the front. You pull that on after you finally find a bra and some socks in your messy drawers. You walk over to your mirror and start brushing the tangles out of your long blonde hair. You grab some streaker and put some light blue streaks in it all over and under, making sure it doesn't look green. ' Gosh I love this stuff, it doesn't even make my hair stick together' you think as you grab you jewelry box that you got for christmas last year from Tre'. You open it and put in one small silver hoop earring in one ear then mismatch with all different black and blue earrings for the other three holes. You grab your silver studded belt and start to put it on while walking out the door of your room.
" Good morning, Jess!" Says Tre' as you walked down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Morning." You mumble still fighting with your belt. you finally get it and sit down.
" So Jess," says Mike while setting a pancake in front of you. " Are you ever going to tell Billie you like him?" He finishes smiling. " What are you talking about Mike?" You say sarcastically, turning pink. " C'mon Jessie, it's obvious you like him just tell him already!" says Tre' laughing. " Shut up! No it isn't!" You yell and give them the best go-to-hell look you can. " Oh so you do like him!" Says Tre' again laughing more. "NO!" you protest. "It's too early in the morning for this guys, leave me alone." you say as you finish up your pancake and get up to leave. " Too early for what?" says billie walking in the door. You turn bright pink hoping he didn't hear too much of that. " Uh, um nothing! Morning Billie!" You say trying to walk past and look as normal as possible while trying to change the subject. " Morning." He says and catches you off guard with a hug. You hug him back and let go fast realizing how tight you were hugging him, like he was the only thing keeping you on the ground. You turn and walk into the lounge as your stomach does flips of joy and turns with nervousness. You sit on the couch and turn on the t.v. and start thinking about what just happened. ' I can't believe that hug caught me like that....it was so great.' you think to your self.
***Meanwhile in the Kitchen***
" Morning guys, What was all that about?" asked Billie.
" Oh nothing, she's probably just a little tired. " Said Mike trying to cover for his sister.
" Oh." said Billie, with a slight tone of disappointment.
Tre' looked at him and raised his eyebrows, " What's wrong Billie?"
" Nothing." Billie said changing his tone to be a little happier.
"You sure?" Asked Mike.
"Yeah, why?" Asked Billie.
" I don't know. You seemed kind of down." said Mike.
" Huh? Oh no, I'm fine." said Billie, staring at a picture on the wall of the four of them from when they were kids. That was the first day he met Jessie.
***In the lounge***
You look at the clock. 6:40am. 'Geeze, what's taking them so long' you think.
You get up and walk to the doorway of the kitchen. " Hey, um guys we really need to get going." you say as they all look at you.
" Okay, We're ready. Lets go. " Says Tre'.
You're the last one out the door as you lock it behind you and shove the key down in your pocket. Mike and Tre' had already started walking ahead of you. Billie stood at the gate waiting for you. ' At least one of them considerate.' you think as you walk up to him and smile sweetly. He smiles back and you begin to walk.
You walk in silence for a few minutes until billie finally breaks it.
"So..." he says. "Are you ready for exams?"
" Oh exams are this week huh? damn. I guess." You shrug.
' that was a stupid question' billie thinks.
"Are you?" you say and look at him.
" I guess. I don't really understand my biology stuff though." He shrugs, he knew you always aced biology.
"When is your biology exam?" you say.
"Wednesday. It's on like 8 chapters." he says and looks down.
" I could help you...that is if you wanted me you help you." You say with a hint of shyness, hoping he would say yes.
"Really you would do that? I don't want to cut into your social time though." he said happily but then look down again. He always thought Jessie was one of those nice, pretty girls who always went out with friends.
You laugh and look at him. " I'm always at home doing nothing. I don't have any social time except when I go out places with you guys."
"Really? I didn't know that. Most of the time when I'm over there you aren't." He says and looks at you.
" No, I'm always there most of the time I'm probably out in the pool or sleeping in my room. " You say. You always know he's there you usually sit on the stairs, so they don't notice you and watch t.v. while listening to their conversations.
You arrive in front of the school. The bell rings. You look at Billie, He looks like he wants something. The look is kind of a hopefully shy look. You step up to him and wrap your arms around his neck, he wraps his arms around your waist. " I'll see you after school in front of the gym okay?" you say and let go. He looks at you smiling " Okay." he says. You both go your sperate ways. After first block you had cleared your mind and had to get ready for your algebra 2 exam, but you couldn't help thinking about this morning.
" Good morning, Jess!" Says Tre' as you walked down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Morning." You mumble still fighting with your belt. you finally get it and sit down.
