Welcome back
Here we go, down the hall, through the doors. To get changed for the worst class of all: Weights. The gym class for the athletes of the school. Its the It's two days before memorial day break and I am already itching for school to end, but I am not one to skip class so lets do this.I went to get changed and then I closed my locker and walked over to Rachel's. When I got their we headed out the door and into the hallway. As we walk through the hall’s to our different classes she ask me
“Did you ever make sense of that dream you had the other day?" she asked
When I didn't respond she pulled me out of my trance
"Uh Kahlen".
"Kahlen, she said waving her hand in front of my face."
"Kahlen, Earth to Kahlen”.
“What sorry, I was just thinking about the dream I had the other day. It just so weird, ya know, I have been thinking about it for a while and I have no idea what it means or who that guy even is. I have seen him around school but I have no idea where. Rachel it feels like the world is trying to tell me something, but I have no idea what”.
" I get it sort of but maybe you should start off by figuring out who that guy is.
You just want me to find who that guy is so you can date your lover boy Mr Alec over their, I tease Rachel as I walk into my class and she walks to her’s.
When I walk in, I go and sit next to Maci and my little freash-y friend Kayla and wait until we take attendance.
Note: I call her that cause she is the only freshman we let into our friend group.
When our teacher Mrs. Fredrick calls for us to take attendance, Kayla and I go to line up. After I stand in my spot, I turn to my right to look in the mirror and check to see what my hair looks like. While I am fixing my hair, the boy I stand next to turns around puts his fingers through his hair, and then proceeds to lean against the mirror and look at me.
He looks me up and down then gives me a smirk type smile. that’s when I look up at him through the mirror and say “Hey um, watch-a doin there buddy?"
He smiles even bigger and says, "Day dreaming . . . I thought".
I roll my eyes, "What where you dreaming about?"
"Well I was dreaming about making your hair a mess again", he says as he takes a step towards me.
"Oh really? And how where you plaining on doing that," I say taking another step towards him.
We where so close to each other now that all he need to do is grab me and we would be in a full on hug. He was leaning in and all I could think was nothing and the occasional 'I am going to have my first kiss in a weights room how gross'.
That’s when Mrs. Fredrick called, “Okay, you can go get ready for warmups."
He turns around and walks towards his bench. We go through warm ups and, surprisingly, I heard nothing from Kayla about what she did or did not see during attendance.
It was Wednesday, so you know what that means everybody... leg day. Whoopee.
Our benches are across from each others so I could tell something was going to happened; if only I had know what really was going to happen.
When I was doing back squats, I felt his eyes roaming on me but I couldn’t tell because my back was facing him. What I do know is that when I was power cleaning he definitely was watching me. How do I know that you may ask? Well I could see his face duh. He would smile and wink at me like it was nothing.
When I thought I had enough of him, and power cleans, I walked over to get a drink of water. When I turned back around he was there. He reached out and touched my hand as I walked away.
Thank God Mrs. Fredrick blew the whistle signaling us to clean up. After Kayla, Rachel, and I cleaned up our station, we started walking towards the locker room.
We walk through the locker room door and that’s when the questions started.
“Who was that?” Kayla and Maci asked.
“What did he want?”
“Do you know him?”
I took a deep breath.
“To answer your questions, I have no idea who that is. I also don’t know what his intentions were, and the last one is kinda tricky."
"What’s tricky?" Rachel asked as she walked into the locker room.
I was about to tell them, but that's when the triplets walked.
Chloe, Grace, and Ivy Weatherly; lets just say they weren't my favorite people in the world.
"Don't look now. The triplets just walked in at 12:00. I can’t risk them hearing our discussion." I explained.
They all nodded, that’s when we all parted ways except for Maci and I. It was now seventh hour, only two class periods left, but because we where blended this hour and we had a free period next hour, we just decided to head back to my house.
When we got to my house I was greeted by my brother Hudson. We exchanged our 'hellos', and then Maci and I walked up stairs to my room.
As soon as she sat on my bed she says, "Okay spill. What were Maci and Kayla talking about in the locker room?"
I sit down next to her and I start to explain.
"You know the guy from my dream? The one I was telling you about?"
"Yeah, go on.", she said.
"Well, I finally figured out why he was so familiar. The guy is in my weights class. I have been standing next to him for the past week, and I didn't even recognize him till now."
"Well, did you figure out his name since you stand next to him in attendance?"
"Um well sort of...
Actually yea...
It's Asher Blake."
