Forever with Boys (sequel to Competing with Boys)

Forever with Boys (1)

So heres the first part of 'Forever with Boys'. I'm going to try and write a lot now while I'm in my writing mood and post them one by one so that u guys wouldn't have to wait soo long like before... enjoy!

I grew up learning that boys were to forever be in our lives. It was kind of a given. My grandma told me about how her mom boarded with boys. My mom told me about how my grandma was a total tomboy and hung out with boys. My older sister, Alice, told me about how my mom was kind of competitive and competed with the boys. That’s how she met my dad, or well, fell in love with him.

It seemed to me like the women in my family attracted guys easily. Even my sister Alice was a beauty that was probably one of the most sought after girl at my school. She’s a senior this year.

I guess I’m the odd ball out. I kind of repel boys. Not that I’m ugly or anything, but because I’m so painfully shy. I can barely speak 2 words to a guy before my face becomes beet red and my speech gets jumbled together. No guy finds that attractive. In fact, they think it’s weird and keep away from me. Even the boys that are supposed to be at the bottom of the food chain.

I don’t really care much for the guys at my school. No, I’m not lesbian or anything, but I just don’t take interest in them. My sister says I’m a freak for that. She’s traveled a lot, and she says, by far, the best looking guys are right here at home.

Well, I guess I did find one boy attractive. For the past 2 years.

Luke Langston was the hottest boy ever in my eyes. Apparently to a lot of other girls too. Everyday, he was swarmed by girls who fancied him. He had blonde hair that always seems to be in his eyes, and baby blue eyes. He seemed like a good person on the outside, which only added to his image. Luke was a year older than me, being a freshman. Yeah, I was in 8th grade at the time. How did I meet Luke? He was Addie’s brother’s best friend.

Before I go all confusing. Addie is my best friend. She’s my only friend. She hates boys. Completely. But she’s not into girls either. It’s just that she believes the world would do better without guys. I guess that’s why she stuck with me.

Anyways, Luke was always over at Addie’s house, and so was I. Just not for the same reason.

That’s how I met him. He was like forbidden fruit that I couldn’t have, which just drew me to him even more. Summer going into freshman year, we all hung out. Addie, me, Luke, and Declan, Addie’s older brother.

That’s how I first saw Luke. It was like the sun’s ray were shining on him just right and made him look like a guy that had just walked out of a magazine shoot. It was one of those rare times where Declan and his friends even gave a damn about us. It was also a time where, for once, Addie was happily hanging out with the guys.

Luke was perfect, in my eyes. He was funny, all night telling us jokes. He was playful and charming. He may be the only guy ever that I’m interested in.

But it doesn’t matter because he’s definitely for me. He’s usually after those girls that throw themselves at him shamelessly. He goes for those confident girls who’s not painfully shy like me. I would never have a chance.

“Ever, want to come over?” Addie asked over the phone. I looked at the time. It was 5 in the afternoon.

It was Saturday and I had absolutely no plans, like usual.

“You could sleep over too,” Addie added.

I contemplated on whether or not I should go. I mean, I was kind of lazy to go.

“I heard Luke will be here.” And just like that, my mind was set.
