Who am I in love with?

Chapter 1: Hey smoker

         I'm sorry about the mistakes in this story! Also my first time writing something scratch that anything so bare with me. I know this can be really dramatic or boring or rushed but I'm going to make mistakes. Hope this is enjoyable!


I'm looking around the school hallway, nothing new. Same hustling people moving class to class. I plop my earbuds in, turn my music up so I can block out the world around me. I reach into my locker and dig around the wads of paper and grab my health book. I really hate health class, mostly because of the people in my class. I love the teacher though she's so sweet and kind. I close my locker and proceed to health. When I get into the classroom no ones there, so I give Mrs. Scott a nod and sit in the back row of seats.

"So Henrietta, we need to talk about this group assignment." I see out of the corner of my eye someone standing beside me. I pull out one of my earbuds and look at the person. I realize its Mrs. Scott and so I turn in her direction. She's looking at me with a small smile. "Uh.. sorry did you say something?" I ask oh so nicely.

 " Yes actually, Henrietta we need to talk about that group project." She said emphasizing the word group.

 "Yeah.. about that I don't really think group projects are my thing Mrs. Scott."

 "Well honey, you need to figure out this group project because its a big part of your grade."

I started to notice that people were filing in so I smiled at Mrs.Scott. "I'm sorry Mrs.Scott I'll figure it out." She nodded and went in front of the class room. I felt my right elbow being nudged so I looked to my right. "Oh hey smoker!" I saw it was my childhood friend Parker, aka smoker. "What are you doing here!" A smile grew on my face, ear to ear. I loved Parker, he was so sweet to me and a jack ass to everybody else. Just that quality made me love him.

"Hey slugger!" I loved his raspy voice, it was sweet to my ears. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" I turned myself in my chair so I was facing him. "Shouldn't you be in Florida?" As quickly as my smile appeared it was gone. Something was off about Parker, he seemed like he lost something.

"I guess your parents haven't told you." He let out a low dark laugh, and ran his hand through his coal black hair. I shook my head as his blue eyes poured his sad energy into mine. "Um.. well I'm here.." He was soon interrupted by Mrs.Scott when she was trying to get the classrooms attention. "I'll tell you after school, meet me by the bus doors." Parker said and then nodded to me with a sad smile on his face. I turned to face Mrs.Scott and she was smiling at me, she must have realized I was actually talking to someone. She cleared her throat and started talking about the class project.

I zoned out and glanced over at Parker, taking in his presences. It'd been so long since I've talked to him, or seen him. His parents moved to Florida when we were 12, it was hard to say goodbye to him. Since our parents were best friends longer though, we went down to Florida every year to see them. We've been best friends since we were 6, ever since I walked into his backyard and saw him smoking. Yeah, I know a 6 year old smoking, that's insane. So I walked over to him and punched him till he put it out. His parents weren't the best parents, but they tried so hard to be perfect parents. 

With out realizing it the bell had rung, Parker was standing next to me with a smirk on his face. " What you smiling about slugger?"

 I laughed and shook my head. "Nothing, so whats your schedule we might have some classes together!" I put my smile back on my face so I could try to make Parker in a better mood. I got up and started out the door while Parker was running after me. "Oh yeah oops, sorry I forgot you don't know your way around." I glanced over at him and he had a smile small on his face, I guess something is better than nothing. I turned back to the hallway and slowed my pace and started walking next to Parker. Parker put his arm around my shoulders and kissed the side of my head. "I missed you Henry, it's been to long." I tried not to laugh at the glances we were getting, and the people with their jaws to the floor. It was true Parker was cute, scratch that hot. He looked like a model, he had the perfect amount of muscles. I don't know if we'd be friends if we didn't live next to each other when we were younger.

I smiled "Yeah way to long Parker, now where's that schedule I hope we have classes together." His right arm shifted around and brought back a bright white slip of paper into my view. I grabbed it with both hands and smiled. "Hmm seems like we have next period together and 5th 6th and 7th together!" I turned next to him and smiled "I don't know about you but this will be fun." We reached my locker, while I was getting into my locker Parker moved his arm from my shoulders. I missed the warmth but noticed that he was leaning against a locker next to mine, he seemed deep in thought. "Penny for you thoughts?" He glanced at me and then looked into my locker and laughed. "What?" I said as I crossed my arms and leaned on one foot. "Some things never change Henry." He said with a shake of his head at my locker, I looked and realized what a mess it was. "Oh whatever let's just get to class before Mr. Mathews scolds us."He nodded and we took off to 2nd period. I really wanted today to go by fast so I could know why he was here.
