This is a story about an insecure, awkward, outspoken, teen who just moved to a new school and is trying to figure out life. Mariah is a 16 year old girl, who is originally from Louisiana but moved to Texas at a young age. She's a short Cajun girl w...
Random disclaimer:Above is how I imagine Chris . ---------
Today is Wednesday, third day at my new school. Today I wore my white adidas soccer jersey with leggings and my adidas superstars. My hair was in a long, curly, messy braid, but somehow it looked cute.
Today hoodie boy had on a turquoise hoodie that said supreme in the corner. He was waiting at the corner. "Are you waiting for me?" I called out to him.
He flashed a smile, "nah, I'm just opening Christmas presents ."
"Did you get me a present?" I asked trying to be friendly.
"No sweety I was being sarcastic." He said bending down with his hands on his knees, like he was talking to a little kid.
"That's right go lower, make your elbows touch your knees." I said walking past him.
"So you're being nice to me now?" He asked confused
"Only because I want a good grade on our project."
"That makes sense... So um... Yesterday I saw that you and Chris were hitting it off pretty well."
"Yeah, I like him he's cool people."
"How much do you like him?" Said Josh in a low voice.
"Why do you care? I scoffed.
"Because- uh don't tell him I told you but he and Brandon are bumping heads because they both like you." What, fire is in mine ears? Could this be true? That's right I know a bit about Shakespeare.
He has to be lying to me. I've never really been seen as attractive to guys, I've never had this much attention from a boy until I came to this school. "How do you know?" I asked.
"Chris posted something about it on snap chat." He replied, "but you can't tell him I told you."
"Whatever." I said. I still dislike hoodie boy. If I feel the need to tell Chris about it I will. I don't care about Josh's feelings.
On the bus Brandon practically snatched me on to the seat next to him. "Chill dude I'm not going anywhere."
"Yeah I know. Listen we're having a game tonight and I want you there."
"Uh ok I'll have to check in with my parents..." My voice trailed off.
"Good I wasn't taking no for an answer anyway." He said with a smile. --- During first period I was greeted by Chris, "aye girl, you like soccer?"
"Yeah," I replied , "I played for my old school."
"That's what's up are you gonna play soccer here too?
"I hope so" I sighed.
"Good, we'd be a cute soccer couple." He said with a wink. I wanted to scream like that annoying group of overly excited girls on Tv.
I laughed, "I guess we'll see." --- That day nothing else went on just me and Ashlyn hanging out in class and us working on our project.
In my last period Jaiden kept texting me.
