I Can't Help It
Chapter 1.
I woke up to my mom tugging on me.
" Maria Dear, it's time to wake up. It's your first day as a senior!" She said. My eyes flung wide open.
" Mum I'm so nervous!"
" Why? Shouldn't you be happy? It's your fourth year of highschool, you should be a pro by now." She said. I nodded.
" Yeah but this is my last year as a child." I stood up out of my bed. She smacked my butt.
" Well then make the best of it. I got bacon waiting downstairs." She smiled. Yay. I loved bacon for breakfast. She left my room and I began to change into my first day of school outfit which consisted of a black tank top, Peach Blazer to go over it, and cute black heels. I curled my hair and quickly did my makeup. I checked the time, I had ten minutes before I had to leave. I tumbled downstairs and Ran to the kitchen.
" There you are, I was wondering if you'd ever make it." My mom said as I crunched on a peice of bacon. I ate three more strips before quickly brushing my teeth.
" Bye mom. Wish me luck." I said, slinging my bag over my shoulder and heading out the door.
" Oh honey you'll do fine." She said. I shut the door and walked to my car parked in the drive way. I brought it to life and pulled away, speeding to school so Im not tardie.
I made it in and took out my schedule as I opened my locker.
" Hey M!" I looked to my right to see my bestfriend Sandy standing there.
" Sandy!" I yelled. I hugged her and she laughed.
" What do you have first hour?" She asked. I studied my paper.
" English." I said. She squealed.
" Oh thank goodness, so do I. Now hurry up and put your stuff up so we won't be late."
I nodded as I put my bag in my locker and slammed it shut.
" Let's head towards English now."
" Yay! I can't believe we're already Senoirs Maria, it feels like just yesterday we were taking our first steps into this school." We walked into the classroom that said English.
" I know. It's quite scary actually. Here, let's sit back there." I pointed to the back row. She nodded and we quickly sat down before our good seats could be taken. the bell rang and everyone took their seat. We waited a couple of moments until a guy with very curly hair walked into the classroom.
" Hello class. I'm Mr. Styles, the new English teacher here at Crawford. "
" Hi Mr. Styles." The whole class said in unison. He sat on the edge of his desk and looked around the class room. When his eyes scimmed over me, I could see how green they were from here. He was actually quite beautiful. Perfect jawline and eyes. The way his hair stood up.
" Alright class, since it's the first day were going to go around and introduce yourselfs. Starting in the back. Which one of you would like to go?" He pointed to the back row. Sandy immediantely stood up.
" Hello, Im Sandy Sterns." She smiled.
" Hello Sandy. Thanks for volunteering." He said in his husky british accent. She eyed me to go once she sat down. I sighed and stood up.
" I'm Maria Summers. " I said. I sat down like I had been standing forever.
" Hello Maria." He smiled, not showing his teeth. I only waved. Then the rest of the class took their turn introducing themselfs.
" Everyone Grab a book off the counter and write your name in it. This English book is yours to keep for the whole year." He said. Everyone stood up and shuffled to the books. I grabbed one and doodled 'Maria Summers' in a fancy Font. While everyone was doing that my phone in my pocket buzzed. I looked around to make sure no one was watching as I pulled it out and read the text. It was from Sandy.
To Maria:
* Oh my gosh I can't handle his load of hotness. *
I giggled and clicked reply when I heard someone clear their voice. I looked up to be met with dark, emerald eyes. They were mesmerizing.
" Maria, it is?" He asked. I nodded, my palms soon started getting clammy and my face turned red as he had caught me texting. About him.
" Are you texting in my class?" He asked. By now everyone was turned around and all eyes were on me. I looked Down at my visible phone, unable to talk. He put his hand out.
" Pick it up at the end of class." He said. I nodded as I set my phone in his hand. He clutched it and walked up to his desk, setting it down. I looked at Sandy and she looked like a cherry she was so red. I saw her mouth 'Im So Sorry'. I nodded and mouthed 'It's okay' back. She then looked at her book and I looked at mine.
the bell rang and everyone rushed out of class to get to their next one. I walked up to Mr. Style's desk. He looked up from his papers.
" Mrs. Summers, your lucky I took it for only the class period, and not the whole day." He said picking it up. I clutched my folder tighter.
" I-I know. Thank you. I'm so sorry it won't happen again." I reassured. He handed me the phone and our hands touched as I took my phone from him. I pulled away instantly. I stood there after that awkward moment and rushed to the door but paused when he spoke up.
" looking foward to seeing you tomorrow, Summers." He said. I didn't look back.
" You too Mr. Styles." I then walked out of the empty classroom and to my locker.
" Maria Dear, it's time to wake up. It's your first day as a senior!" She said. My eyes flung wide open.
