Lola
I walked the cramped halls of the high school with depression evident on my face. I passed multiple friends, they all said hi but just kept my head down.
"Lola! Wait up" I heard Olivia yell. I heard her footsteps approaching me. I walked a little faster, but suddenly I tripped over my shoe lace. I went flying forwards, the floor approaching quickly. Just as I was about to hit the floor, arms caught me. I gasped and looked up. Curt. He smiled down at me.
"Are you okay Lola?" he caressed my face.
"Oh I'm fine Curt. Thanks for catching me"
"No problem, sweetie"
Once I was on my two feet, I dusted off my pink fuzzy NorthFace.
"You better learn to tie your shoes" Curt said laughing.
"You could teach me sometime" I winked.
He blushed and looked down, scratching the back of his head. "You're funny Lola"
"Thanks" I smiled.
"Well I have to get back to my history class, but I'll see you around"
"Sure" I waved and started walking to my class.
"Lola!"
Oh yeah, I forgot about Olivia. I turned around and looked at her. She had a confused look on her face and she held her hands in the air, "What was that all about?"
"The thing with Curt? Nothing, he just caught me from bashing my face into the floor" I entered my Science class.
"Good Afternoon Lola" my science teacher, Mr. Williams said.
"Hey Mr. Williams" I walked to my table and sat down. I opened my backpack and pulled out a science folder.
Olivia sat in front of me and clapped in my face. "Lola! What just happened is not normal"
"I found it highly endearing"
"You're insane. Do you like Curt or something?" she accused.
"Me? No! Of course not!" I lied, truthfully, I have had a crush on Curt since last year. Just the way his hair recedes, the way his eyes sparkle. He was the complete package.
"Whatever. You're weird" Olivia grabbed her things and moved to a different table.
I smiled as I turned to look at the board.
"All right class, today we're learning all about atoms"

I got off the bus, my sister following close behind. I walked into the house and took my shoes off. I climbed the stairs to my room and shut the door. I pulled out my art supples at sat at my desk. Pulling out a piece of paper I started to draw Curt. I drew everything from memory and when I was done I hung it up on my ceiling. I had been drawing for about two hours before my mom called me down for dinner. I walked downstairs and was greeted with a bag of Wendy's. After eating I went back up to my room and changed into pajamas. Climbing into bed I started up at the drawing of Curt and drifted off into a deep sleep.
