My Sophomore Year by Katie Such (icecream ebook reader .TXT) 📖

on my first day I thought you were the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, I didn’t know how to tell you in person but I love you and I have since the first time I met you. When we were on your porch and I kissed you, I didn’t think that you wanted to be with me so that’s why I said friends. But ever since then I regret not asking you out I have loved you for the longest time and I want you to be my girl and everything. Will you please go to the winter formal with me?

I read this and I felt the tears well up in my eyes. This is the guy I’m in love with and the guy I really want. I have never felt this way about any other guy.
Not letting Aiden know I read the note I walked into my next class. He looked at me and I smiled. He gave me a confused look. I just ignored it for now. I was going to make him wait just like he made me wait for him to ask me out. He’s going to have to wait for an answer.
After school I walked up to Aiden and said, “Hey,”
“Hi so did you get my note?”
“Yeah I did.”
“So what do you say?”
“I’d rather do this,” I pulled him really close and kissed him. He pulled away.
“I take that as a yes.”
“Hmmm do I have to make it any clearer?”
“I think you should.” He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck and kissed him.
“Get a room,” I heard someone say. I didn’t recognize the voice at first. I turned around and saw Jake standing there.
“Shut up Jake,” I said.
“No, by the way Aiden have fun with my sloppy seconds.” He said and walked away.
“You dated him?” Aiden asked surprised.
“Uhh yeah for a while.”
“He’s a jerk though. For how long?”
“A year and a half, he was my longest relationship.”
“Oh, well we better get to the bus.”
“Wait, your not mad are you?” I looked at him with confused eyes.
“No but tell me one thing. Did you sleep with him?”
“No! I’m a virgin. Are you though?”
“No,” He kinda looked away when he answered.
“Oh, well let’s go.” I started to walk away and he followed
“It was with only one person and we were together for 2 years, but she broke up with me for someone else.”
“Okay, I get it,” I said and boarded the bus. I sat down and when he sat next to me I looked at him and said, “Just so you know I’m not ready to have sex and I’m not going to be for awhile, Ok?”
“Okay,” was all he said. I looked out the window on the ride home. We were together and already having problems. This isn’t good. But I guess we will see where this all goes.

I started to put on my dress, its blue with sparkles on it. It goes all the way to the floor, and its form fitting. I actually didn’t look as emo as I always do. I took out all my piercings and I straightened my hair so it looked normal. I don’t really like looking like this, but I want to prove that if I want to I can make my self look pretty and not like an emo Goth.
As soon as I was completely ready I sat on my bed to wait for Aiden to come. He was here within ten minutes. I heard the chime of the door bell. I started to walk down the stairs as my mom let him in.
“Wow, umm Elissa you look. Wow,” That’s all he could say. (Haha)
“Thanks, you look amazing yourself.” He had a tux on with a tie to match my dress, it was even sparkly. My mom took a few pictures of us and we left for the dance. His mom drove us. Neither of us can drive yet. But I have my permit. I’m not sure if he does.
After the dance we walked out side and sat on the bench, he hadn’t called his mom yet. I didn’t really want him to. It was going good so far and it’s nice to know that there is someone like me out in the world. I use to think I would end up alone because I was the odd person out, but now I know that there is someone for me and like me in this shitty world.
“So, what should we do now?” Aiden asked.
“Whatever you want to.” I looked at him and kissed his cheek. I started to turn my head away again and he pulled me back to him and kissed me. It started off just a slow kiss, we deepened it and he opened his mouth and ran his tongue along my bottom lip begging for entrance. I teased him a little and then let him in. His tongue explored every inch of my mouth. Then I heard someone clear their throat. It was Mr. Jackson our principle.
“Ummmm Elissa did you ever finish that service learning idea for the school yet?” he asked.
“Uh yup, I’ll have it on your desk Monday morning”
“Okay thanks.”
“No problem.” I said and he walked away and I looked at Aiden and we both just started laughing.
“Well that was slightly awkward,” he said.
“Just a little want to go down to the park?”
“Sure why not?” he said and we got up and went to the park.
“I used to play here with my dad when I was little.”
“Wow, where is your dad now?” I knew he was going to ask because I brought it up.
“He died last year of leukemia,” I kinda looked away; talking about my dad is a really hard subject. I was closer to my dad than I am my mom. He understood my problem mom never seemed to.
“Oh, I’m so sorry for bringing it up.”
“No it’s alright, I just hate that my mom seems to have forgotten him and just hooks up with a different random guy every week. It’s like she’s trying to replace my dad.”
“I’m really sorry Elissa.”
“It’s alright it’s not your fault. But sometimes I do wonder what would happen if I were to do something wrong that she does and then she what she has to say about it. Because she doesn’t know what it’s like living with her, she should live with someone who is just like her.”
“I don’t know what to say…”
“You don’t have to say anything Aiden just be here for me and be someone for me to spill my feelings to.”
“Okay, I will always be here for you I promise.”
“Thanks,” I said and kissed him. I just wanted all of these thoughts to just wash away. Pretty soon he pulled away.
“You’re very welcome just promise me you won’t do anything stupid.”
“I won’t I promise, I love you to much.”
“Really?”
“Yes Aiden you are my world,” I brought him to my favorite place to sit.
In the morning I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating on my bed side table. I looked at it and I was from Aiden,
Elissa want to come over? my parents aren’t home and my mom or dad won’t care.
I wrote back saying,
Sure but you know my rule.
Aiden
Of course baby I know. I won’t ever try anything until you are ready and you know that I already told you that.
Instead of replying I got up and got dressed my hair was still kinda straight from last night so I threw it up into a cute little pony tail, keeping my side bangs down. I put on a pair of jean short shorts and a purple shirt over a black tank top. I slipped on my black clogs and I headed across the street to Aiden’s house. I knocked on the door and waited. I never just walk in, that would be rude. He opened the door and just moved so I could walk in.
“Hey,” I said. Not knowing what else to say.
“Hi, so do you want to watch a movie or go up stairs or something?” He asked grabbing a blanket off the floor and putting it back on the couch.
“Ummmm sure what movie?”
“How about a Nightmare on Elm Street?”
“Sure’ but I’m not the biggest on scary movies so you’re going to have to sit close to me,” I lied I love scary movies, but you have to make the guy feel like he can protect you. So I figured that’s a good way to fake it.
“Of course baby I would do that anyway. I am here for you when you get scared,” he said as he grabbed the movie and put it in the DVD player. While he put the movie in I sat down on the couch and covered up with the blanket he threw on the couch. He grabbed the remote and pressed play and sat next to me and I cuddled him. During the whole movie I acted scared but I really wasn’t, it’s like the best movie ever.
After the movie ended Aiden got up and took out the movie and turned on some television show that I don’t watch.
“So when will your parents be home?”
“Next week they are in Japan on some business thing.”
“Oh, okay. So your home alone until then, that must suck.” I said.
“Nope because you’re here,” He smiled and kissed me soft but sweet. I kissed back we kissed for a while, until he started to move his hand up my thigh, I pulled away.
“Whoa Aiden you know my rules,” I was kinda panicky.
“Oh my god I’m sorry, really Elissa I didn’t mean to.”
“It’s fine, just stop for a minute. I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Okay, up the stairs to your right.”
“Thanks,” I stood up and moved the blanket off of me. I walked upstairs and to the right. I didn’t pay attention to anything. I didn’t really have to go to the bathroom I just wanted to get out for a minute. I looked at my self in the mirror I fixed my pony tail and adjusted my shirt. It’s not really that I’m not ready I just feel inexperienced. I love Aiden to death it’s just that he’s done this before and I haven’t. I don’t want to rush it anyway. We haven’t been dating that long either. I don’t know what to do but I have to go back down there. I opened the door and walked back down. Short shorts probably weren’t my best idea.
“Sorry had to fix my face.”
“It’s fine, so what do you want to do?”
“Doesn’t matter,” I sat back next to him and rested my head on his shoulder.
“Okay well we can just watch this for now I guess.”
“Okay.”
“What time do you have to be home?”
“Doesn’t matter I don’t have a curfew on the weekends.”
“Oh okay. Would your mom let you spend the night?”
“I’m sure she wouldn’t care. I’ll text her and ask her.” I grabbed my phone from my pocket.
“Okay.”
I texted my mom:
Hey mom, can I spend the night
At Aiden’s
