Secret Love Affair Ch. 4

Knock knock. "Jade, it's time for school," Paul called into my room. I roll out of bed and started to look for my nice jeans and purple blouse. "Paul," I scream downstairs, "can I have a ride to school?" As I rush down the stairs I see mom looking at me in shock. "Sure. I would be glad to." "Honey, are you ok? Would you like some breakfast?" mom asked still in shock. "Ok, what's for breakfast?" "Whatever you want," mom was basically jumping with joy. I turn to Paul and start swirling my finger around my ear and point at my mom with my other hand. "Peggy, do we have enough eggs for everyone," Paul said as he's getting out a frying pan. Ding dong. Someone at the door this early in the morning. Mark comes into the kitchen with Phil and Annabelle behind him. Wow. Do they always look perfect? "Hi, Jade. We were wondering if we could get a ride to school since we don't know where it is." Phil asked looking at Paul. "Can you give us all a drive Paul? Please," I begged. "Why not." I look over at Phil and Annabelle again and notice that Annabelle was looking at the floor. Is she sick? She was fine yesterday when she was kicking me out of her room. Oh shit, she saw me staring at her.

While in the car I couldn't help but look in the rear view mirror. Phil is wearing a plaid button up shirt, which I hate on guys but he looks good in it, and a pair of dark blue jeans. He and Paul are talking about how he was on his old schools football team, so I didn't pay much attention. "What position did you play?" "I was a receiver most of the time," Phil replied with a smile. Annabelle just kept looking out the window. Did she hate school or something? "Do you like football," Phil asked looking at me. "Kinda. I can't really understand the point of it." Annabelle is wearing a red, long sleeve shirt, that cling to the top of her body and loss at the stomach, and faded jeans. "Maybe you could explain it to me sometime," I asked looking in the rear view mirror still. He smiled at me and replied, "Sure, just tell me when you have some free time."

Buzz... I showed Annabelle and Phil where the office was and then started running down the English hall to get to class in time to not be marked late. "Welcome miss jade, how nice of you to join us. I hope you are feeling better?" Mr. Lyons asked with a smile. "Um... I'm better now," I said rushing to my seat. "I thought you weren't coming when I didn't see you this morning," Jess whispered in my ear. "No, I was just showing the people that moved across the street from me where the office is. Oh my god, you should see the guy. He's tall and gorgeous, he's in grade 11 and has a perfect body," I started going on and on about how perfect he was. "So, what's his name?" "His name is Phillip but he told me to call him Phil. He has a sister in our grade named Annabelle." Jake then turned around to butt into our conversation,"is she hot?"
