Second day of school

D -

(Alarm clock sounds)

(Wake up)

(See time)

(Typical morning routine before school)

(Look at the ceiling)

(Sighs)

What a good dream I had...

(Thought)

I dreamed of Annie, I dreamed of kissing her again...

(sighing)

I think I was out of line yesterday...

Ughh

(Shakes her hair trying to push her thoughts away)

Why is it that when I'm around her I lose my mind?

Ughh

(Shakes head again)

I will apologize to her.

(He's getting ready to go to school)

(Breakfast)

Mommy... - I said

- Tell me, honey - she said.

I'll take the bike today, I'm a little late and I need to go fast - I warned her.

- Okay, be careful - she replied.

(He's heading for the garage)

(Danna had two Choppers, a black one that she loved and a bright red one with a flame design)

(Today he decided to leave on the black motorcycle)

(Get the bike out of the garage)

(He adjusted his backpack, put on his helmet and went to school)

(He arrived at the school in an impressive way, everyone was perplexed by his arrival)

(Park)

(Secures your motorcycle)

- Danna! Hello... - exclaimed Tamara.

Oh? Hello... - I answered.

- Don't you notice anything? - she asked.

You mean, for the first time in your entire school life, you're early? Well yes - I answered dryly.

(Tamara laughs embarrassedly)

(Someone approaches from behind)

+ Danna! Hi - says Lauren, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

Lauren! It's been a long time since I've seen you, what a wonderful surprise - I said happy.

(Lauren is the typical "Barbie" that everyone wants, and she's my ex-girlfriend, even though she always had full knowledge that I didn't have feelings for her, she always kept the relationship going for both of us)

(I felt a slight tension between Tamara and Lauren, they never got along, Lauren always felt that Tamara was meddling in our relationship)

+ Tamara, I see you're still harassing Danna - Lauren said sarcastically.

If you keep doing it - I said in a funny tone.

- That's not true! I don't harass you - said Tamara in a lamenting tone.

+ You always have, so it didn't work out between us - Lauren said angrily.

In fact... it didn't work out from the beginning, but we decided to give it a try - I responded without interest.

+ I'd still like a second chance... - said Lauren looking into my eyes.

(My weakness has always been when some very pretty girl would ask me for something by looking into my eyes, that's why I try to look away)

I don't know Lauren, I don't think it will work - I said.

(I see Thomas arriving in his car)

(Lower Thomas and open the co-pilot door)

(Lower Annie)

+ Wow, wow! What a surprise, who knew, right? The new one coming to school with Thomas - said Tamara, knowing that would hurt me.

Yeah... who knew... - I said discouraged.

(At that time I noticed that Annie had lied to me yesterday when I sent her a text, she had no intention of coming to school with me today)

(Annie and I crossed glances)

(I turned to see Lauren)

I think if we could try - I told Lauren.

(Lauren opened her eyes as wide as she could)

- Eh... really? - she asked.

Yes, why not? - I said.

(I think I was angry at the time and did things without thinking)

+ Are you serious Danna?! - said a surprised Tamara.

(I think Annie got to hear what Tamara said, in fact, I think half the school heard her)

It's none of your business. - I answered Tamara upset

(Lauren held my hand and we started walking to get to class)

(People began to see us and began to whisper to each other)

(They came back, that's what I heard)

(Thomas, Tamara, Lauren, Annie and I had the same class schedule)

(I entered the room with Lauren and sat down next to her)

(Thomas and Annie arrived)

(Annie looks at me intrigued)

(Thomas invites Annie to sit next to him)

(Annie accepts and that bothers me)

(I look away)

(The teacher enters and starts the class)

(He asks us to do a project among six people, and Thomas says to get together and invites one of his friends, Rick, I think his name is)

- It's good that we get together and not with the others - said Tamara and Lauren in unison.

(That terrifies me)

I would have preferred to do the work with Lana's group, they don't leave jobs until the last minute - I said without any facial expression.

- That's not who we are! - exclaimed Thomas.

So does that mean we'll have the job done by the weekend? - I questioned him.

- Don't exaggerate, we can have it done by the middle of next week -Annie replied.

I hope you work - I answered without seeing her.

+ Someone woke up in a very bad mood today - said Tamara.

(A boy comes up and pushes my folder without wanting to)

(I get up and push him hard)

- Danna! To the direction - exclaimed the master.

Yeah, whatever... - I said.

(I wanted to escape from that class)

(I left the room)

(Someone opens the door behind me)

(It's Annie)

- Are you okay? - she asked.

Yes... - I said, holding back my jealousy and anger.

- I know you saw me arrive with Thomas, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but he had already offered yesterday before I went home and I accepted without realizing what I was doing - she said in conversation.

You lied to me... - I said annoyed.

- I know and I'm sorry, if I hadn't, I wouldn't have hit the same kid to get sent to the principal with you - she said.

(Why did you do that? It wasn't necessary, but it was a nice gesture.)

(And Lauren, what should I do with her?)

- Do you and that girl who was with you have a thing? - asked Annie intrigued.

She's my ex, well... I think we're back together, but I'll tell her not to get her hopes up - I said confusingly, but wanting her not to misinterpret anything.

- Oh, I see, so... you're still single? - she asked.

Yes... - I answered.

(We headed to the principal's office)

(On the way to the office I started thinking)

(Thought)

Why did you ask me if I had something with Lauren?

(We arrived at the principal's office)

(He said we would have an hour of detention after school)

(The day passed quickly, I told Lauren that I had thought about it and that I preferred to remain her friend, she took it better than I thought)

(The time for punishment has come)

(I went to the punishment room with Annie)

(We were assigned to do a 1,000 word essay on what we hoped would be the rest of the school year)

(We started writing)

(The time for punishment is over)

(We deliver the trials)

(I offered to drive Annie home)

Listen... I was wondering if you have a ride home - I said.

- In fact, since you mention it, no... - she answered.

Is it okay if I give you a ride? I came on my bike - I asked.

- Yes, please, although... - she said.

Although what? - I interrupted.

- Although I've never been on a bike - she mentioned.

Really? Don't worry, I'll be careful - I assured her.

- It's okay, I'll hold on tight anyway - she said fearfully.

(We went to the parking lot, there were not many people left)

Here - I told him as I gave him my motorcycle helmet.

- Thanks... how do you put it on? - she asked.

Let me put it on for you - I answered carefully.

(I gently placed the helmet on her)

(She looks beautiful with her helmet on)

(I feel like kissing her again but I don't know if I should)

(I approached slowly)

(Did not back down)

(I felt my heart racing)

(Why do I have the urge and desire to want to kiss her?)

(My judgment is clouded)

Can I? - was the first thing that came out of my mouth, as I was trying to kiss her.

(He was surprised)

- Yyy...yes - she said in a whisper.

(I gave her a warm kiss)

(We looked at each other when the kiss was over)

(He approached and kissed me on the way back)

(I took it from the waist and glued it to my body)

(The kiss is over)

(Cell phone rings)

(We both checked our phones)

(It was Annie's)

(It was his mother)

(Ends the call)

- I must go home quickly, Mom is worried - she said.

All right, let's get going - I answered politely.

(We got on the motorcycle)

You have to hold on tight - I said.

(I wanted him to hug me)

(She did)

(I rest his head on my shoulder)

- Let's go - she said smiling as he stretched out his arm and pointed his finger north.

(He gave me his address and I set off)

(The route was not so long)

(Annie lives by my house)

(We arrived)

(We get off the bike)

- Will you help me? - she said, asking me to remove her helmet.

Sure, let me do it - I answered.

(I took her helmet off nicely)

Ready - I said.

- Thank you for bringing me home, I must go in now - she mentioned.

Okay, see you tomorrow - I said.

(He came over to say goodbye with a kiss on the cheek)

(whispered in my ear)

- Come by me tomorrow - she said in a whisper.

(I froze)

(My heartbeat intensified)

(He kissed me on the cheek)

(He kissed me deeply)

(We look at each other and smile)

(Entered home)

(I left)

(I arrived at my house)

(When I entered the house, I noticed that Mom had left a note)

- "Honey, Dad and I went out on a business trip, we'll be back Sunday night. Love, Mommy and Daddy." - the note said.

(Thoughts)

I could invite Annie to go ahead with the project we should do together...

I will tell her tomorrow.

A -

(Alarm clock sounds)

(Wake up)

(See time)

I'll go for a run before I get ready and Thomas comes to pick me up.

(Thought)

Why did I agree to have you come for me?

I must have made up some excuse, but it's too late now.

(He gets up to go for a run)

(Goes out to do his daily routine)

(Finish running)

(Goes home)

- Good morning, honey! - Mommy greeted me when I came home.

Good morning ma! - I answered politely.

- I'll have breakfast ready for you when you get out of the shower - she said.

It's okay - I said.

By the way, a friend is coming to pick me up, his name is Thomas - I added.

- Oh! A boy... - said mom, hoping I would tell her something about him.

Yes, I met him yesterday, he's just a friend, I just met him - I finished the conversation and went to my room.

(I went into my room)

What did you expect me to say? It's no one important.

(See time on your cell phone)

Well, I must hurry!

(He's going to take a shower)

(Leaves the bathroom in order)

(Goes down the stairs to go to breakfast)

- Hi! Your mom let me in - said Thomas, surprising me.

Ah! Hello... - I said.

I'll take my breakfast and we'll go, shall we? - I added.

- Yes, of course, I'll wait for you - he answered.

(Thought)

I would have liked to have had Danna pick me up for school together...

(Breakfast)

(Dismissed)

(Thomas and I left my house)

(We get into his truck)

(On the way I noticed that Thomas wanted to hold my hand but, I always kept it away from him, I didn't want him to misinterpret anything)

(We arrived at the school)

(I see Danna with Tamara and another girl)

(Thought)

Who is that other girl with Danna?

(Thomas parks his car)

(We go down)

(Danna and I crossed glances, I think she's upset)

(I heard Tamara yelling at Danna)

(I saw the unknown girl hold Danna's hand and walk into the school)

(That bothered me a little, I don't know why)

(Thomas and I came in, we had the same class)

(I entered the room and saw that Danna and that girl were sitting together)

(I saw Danna intrigued)

(Dodged my gaze)

- Annie, would you like to sit with me? - Thomas proposed to me.

Yes, of course... - I answered.

(The teacher enters and begins the class)

(He asks us to do a project among six people, and Thomas says to get together and invites one of his friends, Rick, I think he said his name)

- It's good that we get together and not with the others - said Tamara and the unknown girl in unison.

+ I would have preferred to do the work with Lana's group, they don't leave jobs until the last minute - said Danna.

- That's not who we are! - exclaimed Thomas.

+ So does that mean we'll have the job done by the end of the week? - Danna questioned Thomas.

Don't exaggerate, we can have it done by the middle of next week - I replied.

+ I hope you'll work - Danna replied, without even seeing me.

- Someone woke up in a very bad mood today - said Tamara.

(A boy comes up to me and accidentally pushes Danna's folder)

(He stood up and pushed him hard)

- Danna! To the direction - exclaimed the teacher.

+ Yes, whatever... - she replied.

(Thought)

What's wrong with it?

(I hit the same kid who hit Danna's folder)

(I didn't think so)

(I was also punished)

(I left the room with the intention of reaching out to Danna)

(I found it at the door of the room)

Are you okay? - I asked her, worried about her.

- Yes... - she answered.

(At that moment I realized that I was upset because I came to school with Thomas)

I know you saw me arrive with Thomas, sorry I didn't tell you, but he had already offered yesterday before I went home and I accepted without realizing what I was doing - I said, trying to strike up a conversation.

- You lied to me... - she said annoyed.

I know and I'm sorry, if I hadn't, I wouldn't have hit the same kid to get sent to the principal with you - I said apologizing to her.

(She was quiet)

Do you and that girl who was with you have a thing? - I asked, I don't know why, but I wanted to know.

- She's my ex, well... I think we're back together, but I'll tell you not to get your hopes up - she said in a confused way, but, trying to make me understand that you didn't have anything.

Oh, I understand, so... you're still single? - I asked to confirm what he said.

- Yes... - she answered.

(We went to the principal's office)

(He said we would have an hour of detention after school)

(The day went by quickly)

(The time for punishment has come)

(I went with Danna to the punishment room)

(We were assigned to do a thousand word essay on what we hoped would be the rest of the school year)

(We started writing)

(The time for punishment is over)

(We deliver the trials)

(Danna offered to take me home)

(She is very considerate of me)

- Listen... I was wondering if you have a ride home - she said shyly.

In fact, since you mention it, no... - I responded with concern.

- Is it okay if I give you a ride? I came on my bike - asked Danna, looking at me with those pretty eyes.

Yes, please, although... - I said, when I was interrupted by Danna.

- Although what? - Danna interrupted.

Even though I've never been on a bike before - I finished what I was saying.

- Really? Don't worry, I'll be careful - she said, calming my fear.

It's okay, I'll hold on tight anyway - I said fearfully, but at the same time, confident that she wouldn't do anything to put me at risk.

(We went to the parking lot, there were not many people left)

- Here - he said as he gave me his motorcycle helmet.

Thanks...how do you put it on? - I asked because I had no idea.

- Let me put it on you - she answered so attentively.

(She gently placed the helmet on me)

(She looks so cute helping me)

(I want him to kiss me again like yesterday)

(I'm dying to kiss her)

(Why do I feel my heart racing when I have her around?)

(It slowly approaches me)

(I think he will try to kiss me)

(I will not move)

(I felt my heart beating faster and faster)

(Kiss me, please)

- Can I? - she asks me, referring to whether he could kiss me

(I was surprised that he asked, since he didn't ask for permission yesterday, I think he felt bad about doing it that way)

Yyy...yes - I answered in a whisper.

(He gave me a warm kiss)

(I don't want it to end)

(We looked at each other when the kiss was over)

(It's now or never)

(I went over and kissed her on the way back)

(He takes me by the waist and hits me to his body)

(I felt his heartbeat, his heart is beating just as hard as mine)

(The kiss is over)

(Cell phone rings)

(We both checked our phones)

(It was mine)

(It was Mom, she was worried because it was late)

(I hang up)

I must go home quickly, Mom is worried - I told her.

- All right, let's get going - she answered politely.

(We get on the bike)

- You have to hold on tight - she said.

(He wanted me to hold him, and that's what he planned to do)

(I hugged her and put my head on her shoulder)

Let's go - I said as I stretched out my arm and pointed my finger north.

(I gave him my address and he started to walk)

(The route was not so long)

(We arrived)

(We get off the bike)

Will you help me? - I said pointing to the helmet so I could take it off.

- Sure, let me do it - she replied with a smile.

(He took the helmet off nicely)

(She's so cute)

- Ready - she said.

Thank you for bringing me home, I must go in now - I mentioned.

- All right, see you tomorrow - she replied.

(I wanted to kiss him goodbye but my nerves were getting the better of me)

(My judgment is clouded and I act)

(I approach to say goodbye with a kiss on the cheek)

(I whispered in his ear)

Come by me tomorrow - I said, it was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

(My heartbeat intensified)

(I gave her the kiss on the cheek but, she was not satisfied, I wanted something else)

(I kissed her deeply)

(We look at each other and smile)

(I went inside)

- Until you arrive! - exclaimed my mother.

Sorry, I had a little punishment for supporting a friend, nothing to worry about - I responded by trying to calm her anger.

- You were punished?! - shouted my mother.

Yes, but it's nothing, it was more like a warning - I said with a "I hope you believe this" face.

- Don't make a habit of it, and if you're going to be late, let me know. - replied mom, still angry.

(I went to my room)

(I closed the door and slid to the floor)

In spite of everything, it was a good day.

(I smiled)

(Thought)

I've never felt this way about anyone

From the first time I saw Danna I felt something I had never felt for anyone before; from the moment we bumped into each other I felt an instant connection, one that did not need to be expressed in words.

Should I go on with this?

She's a girl...

But...

I want to have her by my side all the time, I want her to look at me only, to kiss me only.

Is all this possible by knowing someone only for a couple of days?

She must feel that way too, otherwise why kiss me all of a sudden?

But...

I'm not sure if I want this to become public...

(shakes head)

Ughhh

It's too much for today.

(Look at the ceiling)
