Chapter 1: Regrets in Romance.
4:45 in the morning, my alarm goes off and I struggle out of bed to turn it off. A new day, hopefully better than the last. I wouldn’t place money on it though; the only slightly good thing about school is Chase. Chase Durnstrum, whose father works at an oil company and whose mom works with some fashion label. This boy is possibly the best thing in my life right now, except for my mother.
5:35 in the morning and I’m finally on the bus preparing myself for another day of stress. The bus ride is long and a tad smelly, like old gym socks mixed with rancid perfumes and colognes. The bus driver yells at the screaming kid as he swerves to barely miss a passing SUV. I hate mornings.
6:15 in the morning and awaiting the arrival of this lovely boy Chase. I stare down the hallways as I move through the crowding corners, no sign of him yet. A couple of more minutes and I should be seeing those beautiful blue eyes. I see Audria; she’s that popular girl who tends to get whatever she pleases. If you haven’t realized our school is made of mainly rich kids, a few percentage are working-class…I belong in the working class. Here comes Chase, oh wow, he looks so wonderful today. I can’t wait to actually talk to him again. He looked at me and smiled, what does that mean? Hmm, a friendly gesture perhaps or maybe more? I really have to stop talking to myself like this; it must be bad for my health. Here he comes…walking towards me…there he is right in front of me…wow, he’s beautiful.
“Hi Shadow.” he softly said.
“Hello Chase, how are you this morning?”
“I’m doing pretty well now, how about you?”
-Such casual greetings, oh how they bore me.-
“Why now? Was the bus ride smelly and frightening like mine? –giggles.- I’m doing very good. Thank you.”
“Now, that is a surprise my dearest friend and no my bus ride was not smelly and frightening like yours was. Shadow, I have to go to class now, see you at lunch?”
-Look at how cute he is…-
“Lunch it is! See ya then!”
We hugged and he went to Chemistry, I believe. How deeply in love can one person be with just a glance?
