The Mistakes We Make

You mad or nah ?

When I walk in, my ENTIRE science entire class faces me and I immediately do anything to cover my butt so no one will notice that I sat in some mystery liquid while I was riding with my weird neighbor to school. I gave my teacher the late pass that I got from the office and then I walk to my assigned seat positioned right beside Croix. I'm pretty lucky to be his lab partner. As the teacher is telling us the rules and the way that were supposed to do our lab today I decided that I had better things to do,

"Hey Croix."

Croix turns around and gives one of his amazing grins.

"Its about time that you showed up Princess"

He loves calling me princess because he knows it gets on my nerves.

"Well I lost track of time..."

"That's okay Princesses you haven't missed much"

"He wiggles his eyebrows at me and then I look into his perfect eyes.

Croix had the most amazing blue eyes , they are deep and dark like the bottom of the ocean. He has black hair that is messy and not too short but not too long. He's around  6'2 so he's pretty tall compared to me.His tanned skin and all of his features makes him look like a fallen angel, too perfect for heaven.

Me on the other hand, I am 5'5 so I'm not short . I have dark brown eyes but when the sun hits them they turn different shades of blue and green and brown. I have dark brown hair with purple-ish red highlights, I got my highlights done last month and they look really good. I don't look fat but I'm DEFINATELY not skinny. I have a little bit of Hispanic and native American in my blood, so I have an olive complexion. I think I'm a pretty girl but the thing is I've never been kissed before nor have I had a boyfriend...

I realize that I was staring off into space because I was comparing how different we looked.

"Is that makeup on your face?"

In an instant, his beautiful smile was gone.

"Um...Yeah. Why?"

Is it just me or is it starting to get really hot in here?

"I don't know .'

He looked down at the table and then back at me.

"I was trying out a new look."

"Oh."

"What do ya think?"

"Its nice."

*CROIX LOOKS DOWN

"Really?"

*CROIX LOOKS AT ME

"Yeah."

*CROIX LOOKS BACK AT THE TABLE 

I don't know why but Croix looked sad or disappointed or both I don't know but I had a feeling that it was  because of me. So I quit talking to him about that and pay attention to some stupid lab about water and food coloring and paper and...yeah I'm not really paying attention because out of the corner of my eyes o keep looking at Croix and I wonder what I did wrong .After class is over I decide that I'm gonna ask Croix what's wrong

"Croix."

"Yeah."

"Are you alright."

"Of course, Why wouldn't I be?"

"its just that you were not acting like yourself in science class..."

He cut me off.

"you wanna know what's wrong?'

I nodded my head

"He lifted his hand to my face ,just centimeters away from touching it too when he jerked his hand down and walked away.

I died a little inside today.

A FEW HOURS LATER in English Language Arts, we had to practice writing poems and here's my rough draft;

I woke up today, with him on my brain.

lost track of time , missed my bus and I am to blame.

My neighbor drove me to school, God she is insane

At least I made it to school so I cant complain

I wore makeup to school so I could impress my main

But instead he looks at me with disdain

And he didn't touch my face, he decided to refrain

But the morale of this story that I have obtained

is that I will never, ever miss the bus again.
