pt. 5. slam to the stomach

Anna walked out of the Cood’s room with her hypnotic walk. I watched her turn the corner, waving at some friends that passed as she disappeared. I slammed my books down on my desk and sat down. A sigh flooded from my lungs. I knew I had to talk to her again soon. Biology wasn’t until tomorrow. Who knew I’d actually look forward to biology class? The day was long, as first days seem to go, but the constant thought of Anna’s smile made it longer. After the last bell rang I headed to my locker. I opened the door, stuffed my backpack, and grabbed my skateboard. First day and I already had homework, which would come second in priority to the homework I assigned myself: Getting to know Anna. I shut my locker door and turned. There she was, walking down the hall holding her books in her arms. talking to… my heart skipped a beat. A tall, blonde-haired football player with the typical letterman jacket was walking next to her. I froze. I tried to slip by unoticed.
“Oh, hi Cameron.” She caught me.
“Hi”
