Love on the Verge
Helen Palmer, a 9th grader, has had a crush on her former friend, Drake George since the 5th grade. Everyday she falls more and more in love with him. When will she get the courage to ask him out.
"Okay ladies, take a lap around the football field, then meet me by the basketball courts." Coach Elkers shouted.
I love taking warm up laps around the football field, mainly because I get to see Drake do his thing. I mean he's so hot! The way his light brown skin gleams in the sun. His black curls are so cute. His long nose that all his guys make fun of, but is so adorable to me. And his eyes. Those deep black eyes, I personally looked into. Twice!
"Earth to Helen," my bff, Naomi Iman, said snapping me back into reality. Naomi and I have been best friends since the kindergarten, when Ms. Derry assigned us as partners for a project. She is one of the most athletic girls in the nineth grade. She also one of the friendliest. She is African American. She has shoudler length brown hair and really long eyelashes. She also has a 'big mouth.'
"Oh, sorry." I said halfheartedly.
"It okay, so as I was saying, I'm thinking of trying out of going to the mall on Saturday, since I have nothing to do. I want you, Brooke, Charlie, Dana, Tamera , and Sabeen to come with me. It could be a Girls Day Out." Naomi babbled.
"That sounds awesome! Besides I've has thinking about going shopping for new skirts." I said excitedly. If anything can take my mind off Drake, its shopping. I'm like a fashion guru. My friends always come to me for advice on clothes. One day I will be a major fashion designer like Coco Chanel (fashion wise).
"I hate you guys. You left me jogging all by myself." Tamara Kurie said. Tamara is like the tallest girl in the 9th grade. No joke. She also has good taste style. Everyone thinks she will become a supermodel one day. She is Black American. She has a small slender nose, with big eyes and thin lips. She has her cut into a stylish bob.
"Haha, thats what you get for not keeping up." Naomi teases
I went back to daydreaming, while Naomi was telling Tamara about Saturday plans.
Oh my Hottness! He has his shirt off! I was pratically drooling. I knew a lot of other girls would be too. Did I mention he's a hottie. I heard him say one time in the 6th grade, that he goes to to gym to lift weights with his friend Nico.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Noah said snapping me back into reality, again.
"If you really like him just ask him out." Naomi said.
"That problem, I like but I don't want to get rejected." I said worriedly
"You get rejected, ha." Naomi scoffed. "Your like one of the prettiest girls I know."
I had a kind of round-ish face, light brown skin, and hair 4 inches below my shoulder. Full lips, rose pink and medium length eyelashes. Slender nose and big eyes. A lot of people have compliemented me on my looks. I've only had one boyfriend in my whole life. His name is Kenny Donaldson, but we only dated for 6 months in the 8th grade. He was like gangsta type on his apperance, he was really sweet on me. We used makeout in each others bedrooms when our parents weren't home. He was a great kisser, but I think Drake might be better. They're both on the football and basketball team together and their friends. My Girls thought that I went out with him to make Drake jealous. Which is half true (really low I know) , but I kind of thought Kenny was hot back then. I went back to daydreaming about Drake, when someone shouted my name.
"Helen! Nice shorts." Drake yelled. He was running a lap inside the football field.
Oh. My. Gosh. He was totally checking me out! I was blushing so hard, I could feel my face turn pink, my fave color. I could barely breathe. I looked at my pink shorts.
"See, I told you he likes you!" Naomi exclaimed.
