I walked up stairs after a long day at school. I honestly would love school if it wasn't for the people. I mean I had some 'friends' but never a close best friend. It seems like every teenage girl does.
The academics in school usually aren't my problem. Except biology.
I HATE biology. I don't even get what the point of it is. Can't we just know that the world spins in circles and go on with our lives?
Luckily, it was my last semester of junior year; then summer.
I plopped on my bed and opened up Dreamland by Sarah Dessen. My cousin said I just had to read is so I decided I would trap myself in this book to get my mind off of things.
Right as I opened the book, I heard a mailbox slam outside. I got distracted so I got up and looked out my window to see my next-door neighbor rummaging through his mail. Marcel.
Now that I think about it, I kind of feel bad. I mean, we've only said our common 'hellos', but I never really invited him over or anything when he first moved here in the middle of freshman year. I guess he just didn't attract my attention so I went on with my life. Wow I sound so conceited.
I think we have biology together. And he's REALLY smart so maybe I should invite him over to help me? I don't know it might be awkward and-
He's starting to walk back up his driveway Cameron, do something!
I opened my window.
"Hey Marcel!" He looked around alarmed.
"Up here! It's Cameron!" I yelled.
He looked up and calmed down but then looked worried again and tensed up.
"Um, hi." He said looking down.
"Aren't you in my biology class?" I yelled.
He looked up, "Uh yeah I think."
He seemed so uncomfortable. It's just me. Well, I guess we didn't really know each other. I could change that.
"Well I've been having trouble understanding it lately.. Think you could come over and help with homework?"
He switched from foot to foot.
"Oh well I, um I-"
"Come on Marcel. I know you finished your homework in class." I chuckled.
He looked up. Is that a smile? I think it is. Oh goodness I can see his dimples from here.
"Okay, sure."

I know it's terrible and short but it'll get better just stick with me! If I get a vote or a comment on this chapter, I'll post chapter 2 (:
