"You know I hate it when you're right," I shoved my best friend Ayla away playfully. We had just talked about the fight that Jake and I had had, and as much as I hated to admit it, we have these stupid kind of fights a lot.
Ayla laughed "yeah I know, that's why I love being right because seeing your face makes it even more funnier,"
"Thanks for that, I'm feeling so loved," I huffed, Ayla laughed even more after I said that. "So ready for school to start back up?"
I rolled my eyes at that question, "am I ever ready?"
She laughed shaking her head "I guess you're right. They did give us a shit ton of work to do over the holidays,"
Ayla and I hung out for a few more hours before she had to head home. I hugged her goodbye then watched as she turned to walk away, then turned around "See you at school on Monday" she smiled then hopped in the car before I had chance to reply.
I looked at my phone later on realising I had missed a call from Monique, I quickly called her back, "hey," she answered
"Hey sorry I missed your call I was with Ayla," I apologised, "All good I just wanted to know if you wanted to come to the movies with me tomorrow morning? I really want to see Cinderella and there seems to be nobody else who wants to come with me," I only had to think about it for a split second before I responded. "Sure I'd love too,"
The next day came quickly, I got dressed and informed Mum that I was going to see Monique before heading out the door.
I got to the shopping centre around 12:30, it wasn't overly packed, but enough to feel a bit claustrophobic, I guess being the last few days of the holidays everyone would be getting their school supplies. I walked to the cinemas really excited, I hadn't seen Monique since the start of this year at my New Years Eve party.
My eyes scanned the place until I found her, I ran over to her embracing her in a hug, "hey, I missed you too," she laughed hugging me back.
"How were your holidays?" I asked as we joined the line to get tickets, I looked at her and just caught her rolling her eyes as she responded, "like hell Mark is a complete dick now that Tom and I have broken up, I hate it. I mean it wasn't even my fault that we broke up,"
I hugged her again noticing she looked upset,
"Ugh, don't worry about him, we'll have fun today and you'll forget all about him,"
~~~~
I hit the alarm as it went off, I sat up running my hand through my hair, rolling my eyes as I realised it was Monday meaning I would have to go to school. Luckily it was my last year of school but that didn't really ease my mind, seeing as I knew just how much work we had to do. I got out of bed, and dressed before racing downstairs to get breakfast.
As I stepped on the bus I felt my phone vibrate, I looked down realising it was only a text from Ayla, 'hey ready for hell?" I laughed at the text and replied 'sure am' I put my phone away, and looked out of the window till it was time to get off.
I really hope Jake and I will be fine this year, I can't lose him, we've been together for nearly 6 years now. Something over the summer between us had changed though. He didn't text or call as much, and when he did he was blunt.
I thought about all the good memories we'd had over the 5 and half years, knowing we were growing apart.
I met him on our first day of year 7, he had shaggy brown hair, and the prettiest green eyes I'd ever seen. I knew I wanted to be friends with him straight away.
We remained friends, my feelings for him getting stronger, until it came to my birthday. I had a party and had invited him but he told me he couldn't come, I was so upset, I tried to have a good time but I couldn't knowing my best friend wasn't there. Later on that night I had felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around and he was standing there with a small box in his hand, the biggest grin was on my face as I had pulled him into a hug.
"Happy birthday Serena," he hugged me back, then handed me the box. I opened it knowing and gasped looking down at the most beautiful ring ever.
"It's beautiful Jake thank you so much," He helped me put it on before turning and stopping the music. He turned back round and faced me, then started talking.
"I may not be perfect, and i know we fight, and I'm your best friend. But I would love to be more than that. I have loved you since the day I met you, even when you were the annoying girl who kept on bugging me until we became friends. It was the best thing I've ever done and now Serena Jade I'm asking you to be my girlfriend," I couldn't stop smiling while he was explaining this, I was speechless all I could do was nod. He hugged me again, then pulled away slightly cupping my face in his hand, before closing the gap and kissing me. That was my first kiss and definitely the best one.
I smiled at this thought realising that tears were running down my face.
I thought back to the fight that we had had, it was so pointless yet he had made a big deal over the fact that I was talking to this guy called Dean, who had been my friend since like forever. There was absolutely nothing going on between us, why couldn't Jake understand that? So much had changed, and I had no idea what to do so I just rolled my eyes and stuck my headphones in, and blared Ellie Goulding to calm myself.
I freaked out when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I spun around pulling my headphones out, it was Jake of all people, I honestly didn't feel like talking to him, so I went to put my headphones back in but he stopped me. "What do you want Jake?" I spat, He looked taken aback a look of hurt on his face, I turned back to my locker so he didn't see the guilty look on my face,
"I wanted to apologise for the fight we had the other day, it was stupid and I don't know why I acted like that, I guess I was jealous, I'm sorry baby, forgive me?" I turned to look at him again, seeing a pleading look in his eyes, I rolled my eyes, "there's no getting rid of you is there?" I smiled.
"Nope!" He smiled back before leaning in for a kiss, I leaned in closing the gap. I felt nothing however, no spark, no electricity, no nothing. It had been like this for a while now. I pulled away "alright I forgive you," he grinned,
"I knew you would, I'll walk with you to assembly if you...." he was interrupted by Ayla running over to me before practically suffocating me from her hug,
"Well it's good to see you too, but are you trying to kill me?" I laughed as she let me go. "Oops sorry babe," we heard the bell go knowing we only had a few minutes to get to the assembly, Jake slipped his hand into mine as we walked, Ayla and I chatting away. As we got closer to the senior centre, I saw Monique, Victoria, and Anaiyas. I ran and hugged them.
"So what classes do you have?" I turned to Monique before looking down at my timetable,
"Psychology, Maths, English, PE, by the looks of things I have a new English teacher, what about you?" The girls told me, but none of them had the same English teacher as me, well great what am I gonna do now.
We parted ways and went to our separate classes. The day passed slowly, wouldn't have expected anything else though seeing as it was the first day back.
I was deep in conversation with Monique at the lunch table when I felt arms around me, I recognised them straight away, "so baby what you up to tonight?" Jake asked turning me around to face him.
"Um nothing I don't think, unless Monique wants to do something," i turned and looked at her, pleading with her that she would back me up, "yeah sorry Jake, she's taken for tonight," I breathed out silently thanking Monique. Jake looked disappointed and you could hear it as he suggested that maybe tomorrow night was better and saying goodbye before heading off to find his mates.
"So what's the deal? Why did you blow him off?" Anaiyas asked curiously. "To be honest I'm still upset with him over the fight, yeah I said I had forgiven him but it still hurts and just other stuff but I don't really want to get into it," She nodded understanding, as we heard the bell ring signalling the end of lunch.
It was finally time to head to my English class.
I turned the corner and ran into someone, I snapped out of my thoughts. "Omg I'm so sorry, I was lost in thought," I apologised as I helped pick up the papers that were on the ground that I had just ran into a teacher.
"It's okay, we all do it," her voice was silky and had a way of calming you down instantly, I finally looked at her handing her the papers. She was young, but not incredibly young I would say mid to late twenties. She had long brown hair, and the most beautiful blue eyes, which had a sparkle in them. She smiled showing her dimples, "anyways I have to get to class," and then she was gone.
I continued to class praying I wasn't going to be late. As I entered the classroom I breathed out realising the teacher wasn't there yet.
I sat by myself, I liked it this way, it meant I could think and no be distracted plus I don't have any friends in this class.
I snapped out of my thoughts, as I heard a voice talk over everyone, it sounded familiar. I looked up and saw the teacher I had ran into just moments ago. I blushed slightly, what the hell Serena get yourself together girl. She hadn't noticed me yet but it was only a matter of time before she did.
Everyone had finally stopped talking, I watched the teacher write something on the board, as she moved away I saw what she had written. It was her name,
"I assume you can all read, but for those who can't my name is Miss Young," I heard Miss Young say, there was a few snickers that went around the room mostly from the boys. She had finally looked up and our eyes locked, she sent me a small smile, which sent a wave of warmth through my body, before turning back to the class. Wow what the hell, something felt weird and I don't know if I liked it or not.
"Serena Jade," I figured she was doing the roll, I looked up and saw her looking around waiting for a 'here', I smiled before replying "yep that's me," her head snapped in my direction, her eyes on me again, another wave of warmth ran through my body. I was so confused what was happening to me.
Throughout the rest of the class I couldn't help but keep on looking at her. Her brown hair fell just enough that covered part of her face when she was looking down that made her even more beautiful, a few times she had caught me looking at her, I blushed every time and every time she had smiled, and I swear she had blushed slightly too. It sent that warm wave through my body which I had experienced earlier.
I watched her as she stood up to help out a student, the way she walked, the way her outfit showed off her curves just made her even more beautiful. My eyes travelled to her lips, wanting to know what they tasted like, wait what! I mentally scolded myself, reminding myself I was straight, and it was totally wrong to be thinking about that especially seeing as she was my teacher.
The bell finally rung for the end of the day releasing us from prison. I slowly packed up my books not really wanting to leave as quickly as everyone else.
I noticed everyone else had finally left and looked up at Miss Young, I stood and went over to her.
"Hey Miss," I smiled. She looked up from her work and she before replying "hey Serena, what's up?" She quizzed. Omg she remembered my name. Wait why do I care?
"I was just wondering how you're enjoying it here, I know it's your first day and all," as she looked at me I felt myself go red, I hid my face with my hair not wanting her to see me blush, but I gathered from her facial expressions changing she had noticed,
"I think it's great, definitely better than Portman which is where I taught at before,"
"Oh yeah that's the private school near the shopping centre isn't it?" She nodded,
"well as much as I'd love to stay and chat I've got work to do," she looked back up at me, looking into her eyes I could tell she really didn't want me to leave, and there was something else as well, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "Alright I'll see you tomorrow," I smiled and walked away totally confused.
When I got home I threw my bag down in my room and laid on my bed closing my eyes thinking about the day.
"You enjoying this hell hole?" I asked Miss Young laughing a bit,
"Yeah I am actually its better than my last school," she replied, "anyways I'd love for you to stay and chat but I have heaps of work to be done," I looked up into her eyes, there was something there that I couldn't quite put my finger on, oh well.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow then," I smiled then as I started to walk away I felt a hand on my wrist. It pulled me back and spun me around so I was facing her. I was totally confused, but the look in her eyes was still there, she took the books out of my hands, and moved closer to me, then it hit me, that look I had seen it before, Jake used to have the same look in his eyes.
I backed away a bit afraid of what may happen next, but she pulled me back, putting her hands on my hips which sent sparks running through my body as my breath hitched in my throat.
I didn't know what was happening but I didn't want it to stop. I looked down at her lips then back to her eyes, before she closed the gap between us her lips connecting with mine. I was shocked at first but realised a million different emotions running through my body all at once, i liked it a lot and I didn't want it to stop. I kissed her back, as she pulled me along with her and pushed me into the wall, one of her legs wedged between mine, which sent another million emotions through my body.
I couldn't get enough, my hands travelling up her arms, I felt her shiver slightly, my hands stopped behind her neck, and as she got a little more aggressive with her kisses one of my hands found itself in her hair, while the other one found its way to the small of her back, as I pulled her in closer I felt her breath hitch against the kiss. Then I heard a knock on the door.
I must have drifted off to sleep because I woke up confused as all hell, I soon realised that the knocking was actually coming from my door.
