Will I Survive Senior Year? by Bookworm18 (Kayla) (ebook reader color screen .txt) 📖

Chapter 1

~Lyla Marie Johnston~

Don't slip, I thought as I walked from my car to the school. It was the first day back from Christmas Break. Just as the thought crossed my mind, I slipped on a patch of ice, and slid right into someone. I felt a strong set of hands catch me and stop me from falling.

“Thank y-” I looked up and saw the hottest guy in the school. My face turned bright red. “I-I'm so s-sorry. I didn't m-mean to run i-into y-you.” I stuttered embarrassingly.

“It's okay.” He was holding the things that he had picked up for me when I had dropped them sliding into him. I just wanted to get away from him before I said anything dumb. “What's your name?”

“Lyla Johnston.”

“Gage Mc-”

“McCreed. I know. You're only the hottest guy in the school.” I blush realizing what I just said.

 

~Gage Anthony McCreed~

Today is going to be great, I thought as I walked up the school's sidewalk from my car. All of a sudden I get ran into from behind. I quickly turn around to catch the girl from falling. I see that it's the new girl. She's not really new because she moved here at the beginning of the year. Senior year. I don't know her name. I've never gotten the chance to talk to her before.

She starts to say thank you, but stops when she realizes who I am. She turns bright red and stutters an apology.

“It's okay.” I say trying to make her feel less awkward. I picked up the books she dropped and am holding them in my arms. “What's your name?”

“Lyla Johnston.” That's a pretty name.

“Gage Mc-.” I start, but she cuts me off.

“McCreed. I know. You're only the hottest guy at this school.” She blushes.

You're really cute when you blush. I think to myself

“Thanks... I think.” She says.

“Did I just say that out loud?” Now it's my turn to blush. She nods.

“It's okay. You're cute too.” She responds making me feel better.

“Hey do you wa-” The bell signaling to get to class cuts me off.

Chapter 2

~Lyla~

“Hey do you wa-” The bell cuts him off.

“I gotta go. I'll see you later?” I don't wait for a response. I grab my things from him and run off.

~Gage~

She leaves me in a cloud of dust as she runs to class.

“Sure,” I respond, even though she's already gone.

 ----------------------------------

I can't get her out of my mind. I have to see her. I find her walking with her friends Casey and Samantha. I walk over to them. When she sees me she stops walking and her eyes get wide.

“I need to talk to you,” I say. She nods and I pull her over to a little alcove by the drinking fountains.

“What do you want?” She asks, pulling her arm from my grasp.

~Lyla~

As soon as I see him, I stop walking and my eyes get wide. I've been looking for him all day. He's walking over to me. Act cool, I chant silently in my head.

“I need to talk to you.” I nod and he pull me away to a little alcove by the drinking fountains.

“What do you want?” I ask, pulling my arm from his grasp. Way to sound cool, I think.

“I was just... Would you... Do you want...” Would he just ask already?

~Gage~

“I was just... Would you... Do you want...” I sigh. I'm so nervous. No girl has ever made me feel this way.

“Do I want what Gage?” She asks impatiently.

“Doyouwanttogoonadatewithme?” I say in a big rush, holding my breath for her answer.

“Sure.” I let out the breath I've been holding.

“Great. Does Saturday at 7:00 P.M. Sound good?” I ask.

“Sounds great. See you later.” She walks off to her next class. I can't wait. Saturday need to hurry up. I run to class just as the bell rings.

Chapter 3

 ~Lyla~

When I told Casey and Samantha about Gage they freaked. They started planning what I should wear right away. They decided that Friday after school they would come over and help me pick out an outfit.

------------------------

Finally after hours of trying on outfit after outfit we decided on the perfect one. We decided that I was to wear skinny jeans, black boots, a black tank top and my varsity jacket. I looked amazing. Saturday just needed to come faster.

~Gage~

"Dad I'm going out. I won't be back until later." I yell as I leave to pick up Lyla. Friday during school I asked for her address. After school I drove past her house to make sure I got the right one. She was just going in the front door with her friends.

~Lyla~

"Casey hurry. He's going to be here any minute now." I whine as she does my hair. She's curling it. I already have my outfit on. I just need to do my makeup and put my shoes on.

Finally she finishes doing my hair and Samantha starts on my makeup. I'm not good at putting eye liner on. I always end up poking myself in the eye. When she is finished with that I put my shoes on and look at myself in the mirror.

"You look amazing Lyla." Casey says, picking a stray hair off my back.

"Thank you." I respond. The doorbell rings and we all run downstairs.

"I'll get it." Samantha says. "You wait here."

We wait while she goes to get the door.

~Gage~

I'm so nervous that I can't stand still. I've been standing outside her house for 5 minutes, walking up to her door and back down, scared to ring the bell.

"Just do it Gage. It's not that bad." I tell myself. I walk up to the door and ring the bell, wiping my sweaty hands on my pants.

'Hey come in." Samantha says opening the door. I walk in and stand in the hall.

"Is she ready?" I ask.

"Yeah. She's in the other room. Come on." She starts walking towards the other room and I follow. She stops and I look around the room. Lyla stands and I ask if she's ready to go. She says she is.

"Have fun you two. Be safe." Samantha and Casey yell as we leave.

"You look amazing." I say as I walk her to the car.

"You don't look to bad yourself." She teases and smiles climbing into the car. I shut the door and walk around to the driver's side. I get in and start the car.

"Here we go." I say pulling out of the driveway and starting toward out destination.

Chapter 4

 ~Gage~

"Two tickets to see The Faculty please." I say to the ticket lady.

"Here you are sir. Have a nice night."

"You too ma'am." I take the tickets and Lyla's hand, pulling her into the movie room. We sit clear in the back. "I hope you like scary movies." I say.

"Oh I love them." she says sarcastically. "I'll just hold your hand if I get scared."

"I'd be okay with that." I answer honestly.

I really want to kiss you, but I don't want to scare you away, I think to myself while staring into her beautiful baby blue eyes.

"Do it." she says.

"What?" I ask really confused. "Wait. Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes, you did." she says as my face turns red with embarrassment. She kissed my cheek and turns to watch the movie.

Halfway through the movie what she says sinks in. She said that I could kiss her. Was she being serious?

"Were you being serious when you said I could kiss you?" I ask, hoping that she was.

"Yes." she says turing back to the movie.

~Lyla~

"I hope you like scary movies." He says as he pulls me into the movie room. Fantastic. A scary movie.

"Oh I love them." I says sarcastically. "I'll just hold your hand if I get scared."

"I'd be okay with that." he answer honestly. It scares me how honest it is because I like him a lot. "I really want to kiss you, but I don't want to scare you away." he says staring into my eyes.

"Do it." I respond daringly.

"What? Wait. Did I just say that out loud?" He asks.

"Yes, you did." I say and he turns a pretty shade of red. I kiss his cheek and turn to watch the movie.

Halfway through the movie he asks : "Were you being serious when you said I could kiss you?"

"Yes." I say and turn back to the movie.

Chapter 5

~Lyla~

 "Well, that wasn't too bad." I say when the movie ends.

"Sure. I think you broke my hand." He replies nursing his hurt hand.

"Sorry." I say ducking and hiding behind my hair.

 

~Gage~

"Well, that wasn't so bad." she says when the movie ends. She should tell that to my broken hand.

"Sure. I think you broke my hand" I tease nursing my hand.

"Sorry." she replies ducking behind her hair. "Come on." She says pulling me to the car. We drive to her house in silence. I don't know what to say to make her feel
