Summer Sunset

It was the last day of school. Finally! I couldn't wait just to kick back with myself and a good old book. I mean what's better than that? It was gonna be a good summer for sure. I tucked my folder in my arm and grabbed a pencil from my almost empty locker. I adjusted my big prescription glasses and closed my locker. I caught a glimpse of myself in my small mirror as I closed it. Brown eyes, long eyelashes, freckles scattered across my nose and my red hair in a braid. I took a deep breath and started walking to my homeroom.
"Kristy!" I heard someone yell. I turn my head to look it's the 'popular' girls. I just keep walking. I hear there heels clicking towards me dulled by the carpeted floor.
"Kristy! Don't act like you don't hear us." The tall blonde "leader" Is what I called her. I looked down at my black and white converse. She was only 5'7 and I was 5'4 she was still intimidating.
"So do you want to come to our summer party or not? You finally qualify as decently pretty" She and her 'crew' laughed.
"Well I might" I said quietly
"Okay here" She handed me a small paper. I opened it.
HA! you actually thought we'd invite you, what a joke Should have known. I let it fall from my hand and continued to my homeroom. Holding my folder close to my chest and looking down. I finally reached my homeroom, I was first of course. I took out my book "Wading Into The Depths Of Hell" And began to read. I got to page 20 before people started coming in laughing and happy, because it was the end of the school year. And I was sulking in my chair because some prissy blonde chic didn't invite me to her party. I wonder how many other people weren't invited. I spotted the super smart kids laughing in the corner looking excited. They turned their heads to look at me and started cracking up, their braces glinting in the lights and short pants revealing their socks. Guessing they heard everyone probably had before it even happened. I sighed and shrunk down into my chair.
"Class sit down" My teacher said loudly. She was the kind of women I wanted to be. Confident, and still beautiful at the age of 40. She was smart, and caring. One of my favorite teachers. She had long brown hair, smooth skin, she almost looked like she was 25. She always had my back and was there for me whenever, She was almost like my mom she let me call her Patty in class instead of Mrs. Webson, the other kids in the class usually made fun of me for it but I didn't care, I got to call a teacher by the first name without getting in trouble, tell me how often do you see that? The kids sat down. I spotted Keegan, he was sitting in the upper right corner by Patty's desk. He seen me looking at him, I looked down and let my hair cover my face. I was looking at him through the strands of my hair. He was smiling and drawing. Every once in a while I'd feel him glance at me. He was a popular kid to say the least. Typical right? Let the nerdy girl fall in love with this Keegan kid, but I had a feeling there was a lot more to him than any one else knew. Plus I don't love him. He's going out with the tall blonde Stephanie. Stupid whore. Stephanie was playing with his long brown hair and whispering in his ear. I couldn't help but cough and roll my eyes.
"Alright kids! We're watching movies the whole day! Or you can go to the gym if you want." Patty said. I grabbed my pencil and folder and began to stand up.
"Raise your hand if you want to go to the gym" I seen Stephanie and Keegan arguing one of them wanted to stay here the other wanted to go. Finally Stephanie rolled her eyes. I slowly put my hand down, no way I was going if Stephanie was. I think everyone seen I was going so they all shot their hands up, or maybe I was just super paranoid.
"Okay go, go" Patty said. "Oh Keegan you and your drawings" She looked down at his sketch pad. "Oh what a pretty girl, you really captured her eyes." She smiled. He was more than likely drawing Stephanie because he closed it when she walked by.
"Thanks Patty, I'm trying my best to get it spot on but pencil doesn't always get the real beauty in the photo you know?" His low smooth voice said. I widened my eyes Patty? that's what I called her and only me
"Alright you guys are 17 which movie do you want to watch? Titanic or the Notebook"
Keegan laughed.
"We may be 17 but, we aren't 12 year old girls. Can I just draw?"
"Can I just read too?" I asked quickly
"Oh of course, and I'll...I'll just uhm look at these magazines" I smiled, Patty was always willing to please someone.
"But..." Me and Keegan said.
"Go on" Keegan said
"You can watch it if you want, It won't distract me" I finished.
"Exactly what I was going to say." He was smiling, looking at me, his dark brown eyes fell on my light brown eyes. I could feel myself blush. I looked down again.
"Ohh okay notebook it is then, I know you enjoy this movie Keegan" He looked a bit awkward as he forced out a laugh
"Yeah I do love this movie"
I couldn't help but shake my head and smile, I opened my book to where I left off and began to read. Maybe the last day of school wouldn't be so bad, Maybe the summer wouldn't just be me and my book...
