Its 7am and I'm still not ready for school
I honestly don't want to go, but I also have to tell Damien my mind
"Honey, aren't you going to school today?" My mom asks walking into my room with a piece of bacon in her hand
"I'm just feeling a little lazy today mum"
"Its Monday Ariana. You can't miss school now get up. Your friend is waiting for you downstairs"
Oh my God! Friend?! Could it be Damien? Why would he come to my house oh no.
"Are you okay?" Mum asks not icing how tensed up I got
"Yeah I'm okay" I say sitting up "whose downstairs mum"
"Uhm, I think he said he's name is Gerald"
And I sigh a breath of relief
But wait. Why is Gerald outside my house? We haven't talked in ages. Seems we've been too busy with our own thing but he's finally made time for me
Ughhh
"OK mum. Tell him I'll be downstairs in 15mins" I say getting up.
Mum just shrugs and leaves my room
------
"Hey Gerry" I say as I approach him sitting on my couch
"Ari. How are you"
"Well, I'm okay Gerry. And you? How've you been? You disappeared from the surface of the earth huh?!"
"Well"
I have to admit that Gerald looks way hotter than before. Whoa
"So I heard I have a private driver for this morning. How true is this?"
"It seems you heard correctly cause I'm at your service to drive you anywhere you want ma'am"
"I'd like to get to school now Gerry. Thank you"
This is just stupid though
"Bye mum" I wave as Gerry and I walk out of my house
"So" he says as he ignites the engines of his 2017monster truck
"Any new victims?" I ask smiling
"Well, I'm a changed person Ariana, I don't flirt anymore"
"And may I ask what inspired your change of heart"
"Well, let's just say I fell in love"
"Seriously?! I yell a little bit too excited. Well that's amazing. Who's she? Does she know? Oh my God. Is that the reason we haven't seen you in ages?"
"Whoa, one question at a time" he says laughing
"Well?"
"As a matter of fact she is the reason why I've been incognito for a while now. But".
"But what!"
"We're not together. She doesn't even know I'm in love with her"
"But why"
"I don't think she feels the same way about me, and I don't wanna get hurt by being turned down. Trust me, its not a good feeling"
And I remember what happened on Saturday
"Are you okay" he asks noticing how quickly my smile dropped
"Yeah I'm fine. But how does this affect you distancing yourself from the rest of us"
"Well. Its a long story"
"OK. But who is she. You have to tell me how you of all people fell in love"
