"Ok. Breath. Just breath. I can do this. I can tell him." she told herself.
"He is my best friend. I can tell him," she pauses, "nope. I can't. I can't do it. He is my best friend. I don't want to ruin that. I don't want to make this awkward. Besides, he doesn't even like me." knocks on the door interupted her, "Viv, your going to be late for school again if you dont hurry." Her mom called through the door. Looking down at the clock, 7:45 a.m,
"Its that late!" Viv cryed grabing her bag and her keys off her desk and out the door. "Bye mom! Love you" Viv yelled as she got into her car and threw her bag into the passenger seat and started the car. *Click click click click click* "no no no no, why?!" quickly opening her bag and taking her phone out she called for help.
"Hey cherry bob where the hell are you?" said the guy on the phone.
"Derrick, my car wont start and im already running late. Can you stall for me untill I get there. I have to take the city bus. Again."
"I can do one better. Mr. Gesh asked me to run an errand for him. I can be there in two."
"What would I do without Der?" Viv said in sigh of releaf.
"Most likely still be running around like the headless chicken I met in first grade." Derrick joked.
"Funny."
"See ya in a bit cherry bob."
"Ok Der." hanging up the phone and grabing her bag, she opens a small pocket and takes out a hair tie and pulls her cherry red hair back in a pony tail. A minute later a big black truck with a lift kit on rides up and the driver beeps the horn. Grabing her stuff, Viv gets out of her small silver car and climbs into the truck next to Derrick.
As they headed off to school Viv's mind was racing with ways on how to tell him. Come on Viv. You can do it. You only have a few blocks untill we get to school. Come on Viv. Just ask him.
"So Der... How was your summer?" really? Thats the best you could say? 'How was your summer?' Derrick gave a small laugh and looked quickly at Viv,
"You should know cherry bob, we hang out every summer." Derrick said.
"Right." Viv replaied. After a few minutes of silence they pulled up into school.
"7:58. You gotta run cherry bob." Derrick said.
"Thanks Der." Viv called as she hopped out of the truck and raced to class.
Sneaking into the class just seconds before the late bell rings.
