The one for me
Peter is in love with Angie, but I could say I had loved him a little from the time I laid my eyes on him. Although Peter and I are very good friends, and we go way back I can't deny it hurt like bitch, when I found out about his feelings for Angie. Truth to be told I was not surprised because Angie is a very sweet person who moved here to Bakersfield, California last year and we hit it off right after we were introduced.Everyone loves Angie, she is fun to be with and she is the nice one when we are together. Me, well, I am Josie Allen, the sarcastic one, the one not to be messed with and Peter is the cool one, everyone wants to hangout with him, also let me tell you he is the same person who turns me to puddle with one look.
Let me tell you something about myself.
As you know my name is Josie, you can call me Joe or Joey. I love to read books and nobody in my class messes with me because they think nothing gets to me but they don't know the truth; the whole story. Something changed in me six years back when mum died, it was an accident and the details are hazy but something in me snapped after that and then most of the people in my class found me intimidating, but I don't blame them, again, they don't really know me. I put up a mask and hid behind the facade I created. Other than that I am pretty much normal- as much as I can be.
Anyway, so here I am at my locker preparing for my first lecture Communication, just when I want to sit in the corner with headphones in ears and drown out the world around me. But I am unlucky this way. Thank god Angie will be there as a buffer between me and Peter, we fight like cats and dogs only I am not a cat, I hate them, on the other hand dogs, I love and soon I will adopt one. Angie keeps us humans, both of us, speaking of... I don't see her. I'll just call her and just as I do, my eyes meet his. We may fight very often but I have to say this, Peter is epitome of tall, dark and handsome. Standing tall at 6' to my 5'4" he smirked and a dimple appeared on his right cheek, blue eyes with golden flecks, midnight black hair, lean build and surprisingly he is walking towards me. The way he is looking at me right now I get a feeling, he is up to something and more often than not it is something to annoy me or piss me off or something which makes me want to strangle him to death.
"Hey! Joe. Morning.Guess what?" He said smiling at me. And my doubts were confirmed, he was up to no good."What do you want now Peter" I said in no mood to start a banter with him."Angie ain't coming today. So I guess it's you and me today. With no one to take your side. I wonder what will you do today". He says with a dimpled smile which makes all the other girls swoon, but I am so angry with Angie right now for leaving me high and dry without telling me, all I wanna do is punch the smug look off his face. But I won't. I don't wanna give him the satisfaction so I turn around and walk away from him towards my class hoping he will leave me alone but nooooo.... he was now walking behind me towards our class great!.
