These forgetting sights by savannah palmateer (the snowy day read aloud TXT) 📖

Mr. barns is boring, i thought during history. I looked at lucas and i had butterflies. he looked back and my face turned red. he gave the note to amanda and she gave it to me. cassie glared at me as i read the note.... it was weird. thats when mr. barns called on me to answer the question. i just blurted out "Exodosis 22:18?" and everyone laughed.. i sank down in my seat. FINALLY the bell rang. i ran out and out of the corner of my eye, i see lucas walking toward me. then he turns for his locker which, unfortunetly, is right next to mine. "hi, alana" i turned to see his whole torso in my direction. again, i couldnt help blushing. i put the note in my locker and smiled softly. "um, hi lucas..." "did you get my note?" he smiled so gently i almost fainted. "um yea, thanks"
then the bell rang and he went to math.. being the new girl and all, the teachers didnt count me as late yet. i went straight to chemistry. haha i thought to my self your such and idiot! why did your whole face go red! o great, here comes cassie the witch.. " hi cassie.." "whatever"
well god.. attitude much
" i saw your little game with lucas.. stay away from him. he is mine", she nearly growled. " i dont know what your talking about".
cassie may be a soccer chick.. but i am almost a foot taller then her. me an lucas are the same height, so obviously, i knew who was winning. " dont think i dont know it. the whole 'oh, i'm miss perfect and innocent' act.. he will never be yours". i nearly back handed her. "we'll see then"
and i went toward my class. then i saw a boy, tyler i thought his name was, wink at me. he winked at me! Oh my gosh... was it always gonna be like this?! "hey, your alana, right?" he smiled like he was a creeper. which i kinda thought he was. "yup. thats me." " awesome. i'm tyler june." he shook my hand randomly and i jumped. i was scared easily and jumpy. "oh, sorry." he took his hand back. "its ok. i am a little jumpy." why did i just say that? "oh. ok. so what brings you to everynight acedemy?" i didnt like that name. and we had bad uniforms.. "my parents dragged me here." " this school isnt normal, alana. watch your back." i smiled. someone actually cared if i got hurt. that made my first day the best! "wow. thanks!" he gave me an awkward wave an went to math, where lucas was. My teacher thought i had trouble with my locker, so he let me pass.
The class flew buy. then the bell rang for lunch. i was the last one out. At evernight, you can walk around with your Ipod in and do stupid stuff. so i turned on My favorite victoria justice song, sat by my locker, and read my favorite book. Then comes lucas. he came an sat by me, but didnt open his locker. he put his stuff down, an sat so close me to that our thighs almost touched. "hey, watcha listen' to, alana?" the way he said my name made me laugh. " haha. beggin' on your knees by victoria justice." " Oh my gosh! i love her! can i listen?!" haha we both laughed. so i gave him the earphone or my right and we talked...allot. he was really funny, so i wouldnt stop laughing. the bell rang for out last class of the day, which we had together. it was english, with that evil mr. taylor who glared at me the whole time, her eyes saying 'why are you here, you are ruining everything'. i sat at the very back. "alana, your seat is up here. now" lucas turned back an saw we sat next to eachother. he smiled the whole class. " alana, the answer please." she did that to me for every question, like she was testing me... TESTING me about english like hello, i could speak, couldnt i? " idioms." i blurted out. she galred at me and said "correct." the bell rang then. i ran, like actually ran to my locker so i wouldnt see cassie. i took my backpack and went to my bus. amanda walked by, gave me a note, an got on her bus. it said "alana" on the front. i wouldnt open it yet. not just yet.
I open the door and ran straight to my room. i laid on my neat, made bed i made this morning, thats right, i'm one of those girls.. and opened the note "dear alana, i liked seeing your nice side.. i wanna see more, id ya dont mind. i really like you. but dont mind cassie, she is jealous. love, lucas:)" it said LOVE.. not sincerly, or from, it said love! i was gonan faint.
i woke up still in my uniform, with the note cradeled into my chest. good thing i had just three versions of the uniform. so i got dressed, got my homework into my bag an went on into the death trap called "Evernight acedemy". Me and lucas talked while at our lockers about the note, but he talked softly, trying not to make cassie overhear. he said what he said was true, and asked me if i liked him back. "yea, i do kinda, maybe, sorta like you". from that very second, he smiled the WHOLE day.. i mean all of it.
that day went faster then my first one. but before i got on the bus, he grabbed my arm, an pulled me behind the buses. " alana?" "yea, lucas?" "well i was wondering if, maybe you would maybe wanna go to the beach with me on saturday, if you want to?" he was sweating, like he had a hard time asking me. i smiled real big an said, "i would love to. are we gonan swim?" "only if you want to, alana." he loved saying my name. we said out goodbyes and went our ways. i smiled to my self an said mentally, " take that, cassie!!" When i entered the door, my parents were on the cough, talking softly. "i'm home, mom and dad!"
this is the scay part..
"alana, can we talk to you for a minute?"
"ok. whats up?" i set my bag down an sat on the coffee table, which they hated me daing but said nothing. "alana, me and your father are... alana, your going to be a big sister." she smiled so taht her whole face lit up. a tear escaped my eye and i ran upstairs. they said nothing but just looked at eachother. i thought about lucas's offer. i would meet him at the beach tomorrow and we would have fun. he said about noon..
i woke to find that i had changed into my fluffy mickey mousy bottoms and the matching tank top. it was 11:30. "Oh crap!" i got my bikini, a towel, and my shoes and went outside. my parents didnt care. i lived five minutes away from the beach, and when i reached the edge of the sand, i saw lucas looking out to the horizen. i walked to him an stood at his side. he smiled wide an greeted me. "hey! you made it!" then he randomly hugs me. i hugged him back an said i still had to get dressed. my face turned red as he looked down at my mickey mouse pajamas. he let me leave an went little by little into the water. he stopped at knee deep. by then i was done changing an put my cloths and towel on a nearby bench rite by his cloths. i went out and he motioned me to join him. he looked over my body an he smiled like he saw what he liked.
i had brought my sterio and Ipod. i plugged it in an played a song we both liked. i ran into the water an he picked me up. he flung me into the water then flung himself. we played for hours, an when it was almost dinner time, we were both sunburned and tired. luckily he offered to buy ice-cream. i couldnt resist and pulled out my wallet. "alana, ill pay. come on." he grabbed my wallet, set it down an we raced to teh stand. the ice cream man was middle aged, a short stubby guy. "welcome to beach nation. what would you like?" "alana, you can choose first" i chose a snickers ice cream bar an he got the same. "that'll be 9.95 please." he puleld out 10 dollars and we grabebd my hand to pull me along. he sat me down on the beach an sat really close to me. he held my hand and intwined our fingers. "alana?" "yea lucas?" we looked at eachother. " so i was wondering if maybe, you would maybe um, wanna go out, you know, with... me?" he choked up then and i started laughing. my mouth was full of ice cream but i still managed to say " yes". we both started laughing and ate insilence, still hand in hand. we went into the water one more time just to see how far we could get. he splashed me an went underwater. "lucas! you cant hide from a professional swimmer!" and we played until it was almost dark. and we walked me home, hand in hand.
i invited him in and offered for my mom to drive him home in a bit. my parents were pleased to see i made a friend. they saw us holding hands and smiled even wider. they obviously didnt mind. so i showed lucas where my room was so he could change. i took the bathroom. see, i had manners. when i was done, i found him sitting in my computer chair, looking at the screen. he smiled and said "hey" i sat on the bed and he sat next to me. "hey, can i use your phone to call my mom?" "yea sure. here" i handed him my cell. he went into the corner an talked. then sighed and pressed 'end'. "she said she cant come get me. she said ill have to sleep over and get a ride tomorrow.. is that okay?" the look in him eyes looked like he was begging me to say yes. "ill ask my parents. ill be right back" he sat on my bed and waited while i asked. i told them what his mom said. "well, sweety, of course he can. after all, he is your friend. "
"thanks, guys." i hugged them both an went to my room. "they said yes" he jumped up an said "really?!?" "yea!" he tackled me an hugged me. he pulled back slightly an starred. his free hand went around my small waist an his other was caressing my cheek. he whispered my name "alana...." and kissed me. after a few seconds, his lips were firm against mine, as if saying, 'i'm sticking to this. i wont step back until you say so'. " alana! lucas! are you hungry!?" my parents called, makeing me jump. we started luaghing like crazy an continued down the stairs. mom had made pizza. " thanks, mrs. hamilton. it looks awesome!" she smiled an winked at me. " lucas, lets eat in the living room." "ok." we walked close, an sitting together in the love seat my parents kept.. "alana. you give me butterflies." i smiled an stared at him. he smiled back an we
