I'll Wait For You Book 1

Joel

My brother and I walk through the entrance of highschool as we both part ways to head to our lockers. I arrive at my locker and put some of my books away and take my first period English book out.

While I put my books away I look to the left and see a very pretty girl that I haven't seen here but something about her makes her shine from this big crowd.

Suddenly Liam the bully comes and blocks my view slamming his hand hard on the locker next to mine.

I look at him with a frown as he says,"Hey loser."

I roll my eyes and say,"Leave me alone Liam."

I close my locker and start leaving but Liam pushes me to the locker and says,"Why don't you go and buy some drugs? I hear they're selling it in the cafeteria."

My fists clench and I push him away saying,"Shut up!"

He gets up and charges at me as I do the same but before we can fight my brother gets in the middle and says,"That's enough."

He gives me a glare as I start calming down but Liam comes closer to me saying in a whisper,"Your nothing. You're just a piece of trash. Nobody cares about you."

I take a deep breath and say,"You're wrong the Lord loves me and that is enough for me."

He chuckles and says,"I see why your dad left you. I would have done the same."

My brother gets in front of Liam and says,"Leave him alone Liam."

He chuckles saying,"I'm just saying the truth just like bible says to always say the truth."

He turns and leaves as I turn around and look at my locker.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and my brother says,"Hey don't listen to him. The devil is trying to get to you. Don't let him. Remember that God loves you."

I close my locker and say,"Even if dad didn't."

I walk off leaving my brother there. I start heading to my first period but stop when I hear someone playing the guitar.

I turn and see through the window of a classroom and see the back of a girls head but what got my attention is her beautiful voice.

I can't clearly hear here but I can get a few words out as I hear her sing about God. I smile knowing at least there is someone like my brother and I.

I then hear the warning bell and I quickly run to my class. I walk in as the teacher looks at me with raised brows.

I give her a small smile and head to the nearest desk. The bell rings but quickly a girl walks in.

The teacher looks at her with the same face she gave me and says,"Have a seat. You got saved."

She nods and sits at the far back of the class. The teacher starts saying,"Okay class we have a new student today. Please tell us your name and where you come from."

The whole class turns around and looks at the new girl. I don't turn not really interested just wondering who that girl that was singing was.

Suddenly I hear the new girls voice as she says,"Umm..hi my name is Moriah Peters and I come from LA."

I hear her voice and I then know she was the girl singing. I turn around and see she is the beautiful girl I saw earlier in the halls too.

She gives the teacher a small smile and quietly sits back down. I turn back as the teacher starts teaching the class but I don't hear her cause all my attention is on Moriah.

I turn around and see her paying close attention to the teacher but then her eyes land on me.

I quickly look away with embarrassment but something inside me makes me turn back around.

I see she is looking at me with a small smile. I smile at her as she gives me a small wave and chuckles looking back at the teacher.

I turn back to the teacher with my heart pounding for this new girl. Something about this girl is different but it's a good difference.

She is one special girl in my eyes and pretty sure in God's too.
