3I got home late that night. I ended up working a double shift at Casio's, one of the many jobs I have. It meant more money for me. I ended up making $150 in tips. Now I only needed 50 more dollars to pay rent this month, which was due in a few days. I biked home in the frigid winter air nearly freezing to death. I locked up my bike and ran to my apartment passing out as soon as I hit the pillow. I woke up the next day to my phone blaring the newest Taylor Swift song. I overslept two of my three alrms. Great. I hopped out of bed, ran into the bathroom opting out of a shower and brushed my hair and teeth. I grabbed a clean shirt and threw it on over my tank top. I looked down to find that I still had my work pants on. I dug through my laundry and found a pair of jeans that were faded and were starting to rip. I yanked them on and grabbed my stuff. I ran out of my apartment just as the bus passed. It looked like I would have to bike it to school.
When I got to school I had less than a minute to get to class. Looks like I wouldn't be eating breakfast today. I sat down in my government class right as the bell rang. My stomach gurgled loudly. I sighed and took out my notebook and started taking notes on the different types of governments. When the bell rang, I grabbed my things and started walking to my next class. I saw him in the hall with his girlfriend. I dipped my head down and kept walking. I heard my name being called so I walked faster. I wasn't in the mood to talk. I almost made it into my second hour when someone tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around to find him behind me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Did you not hear me calling you in the hallway?" When I didn't respond he kept talking. "So are you free to get the car today? Or would you prefer tomorrow?"
I paused, "Wait you were serious about that? How much do I owe you?"
"You paid me yesterday remember?" he winked at me.
I blushed and turned around to walk into my class. Over my shoulder I said, "today after school is fine." With that I went into my classroom and sat down opening my notebook to take notes yet again.
I didn't see him the rest of the day until school got out. Most likely because I was avoiding him. I didn't want to think about the car. I was walking out of the school looking for him. I saw him kissing his girlfriend. My stomach did that weird flip thing. I felt like I was about to cry. It's not like the kiss ment anything so why did I feel like this? I shook my head and stood off to the side waiting for him to look up. When he did he pulled away from his girlfriend and dragged her over to me.
"See I told you I sold the car," he said to his girlfriend. "This is Brooke . She bought the car yesterday." His girlfriend looked at me with distain.
I smiled and said, "Nice to meet you," I looked over at him and said, "So where is it? The car I mean."
"Oh it's at my apartment. I drove my truck here today. I can drive you to my apartment to get it."
"Uhh-" I was interrupted by his girlfriend.
"I have to go to detention, James walk me there please?"
"Ok," he took her hand and started walking away, "Wait for me here Brooke." So I did.
About fifteen minutes later he walked out of the school and signaled for me to follow. I followed him to the car lot and to this huge white truck. It looked like a Ford something. I didn't know cars all too well.
He unlocked his car and got in. "Hop on in," he said as leaning over and opening the door for me. I did. He started up the car and we drove out of the lot to get my "new" car.
