Chapter Six

            The next morning I woke up and got ready for school. Becca opted to skip today. I think she is going to go check to see if her mom is okay. So that means it’s just Aiden and I. Now as much as I love Aiden I don’t know if I will be able to handle a full day of him by myself. He can be a bit much. I mean the only reason I am going to school is because there is this gorgeous blonde that I just can’t wait to see. The only problem is that Madison will be there so I won’t be able to talk to her much. After letting Becca know I’m leaving I jump in my car and start heading to the nearest coffee shop. It’s a must to start the morning with coffee.

            As I pull into the school and park I head over to the quad where I see Aiden sitting waiting for Becca and I. We exchange a knowing look when he notices it’s only me here today. And with a sad smile I sit down with him.

            “Was it bad this time,” he asks. “I’m not really sure. She was pretty upset. I’ll know more later tonight probably. You should come by and see her. She would really like it if you did,” I reply. Becca misses a lot of school because of her situation at home. Sometimes I wonder how she is still able to pull off all A’s. I guess that’s why the principle let’s her get away with missing so many days.

            As Aiden starts to ramble on about sports or his hair or something I allow my eyes to wander over to the popular table. I can see Spencer sitting there. Madison is yet again talking her ear off. I swear I think she just loves the sound of her own voice. She will talk about anything. I guess Spencer notices someone looking at her because she looks up. As she does her eyes connect with mine and she gives me a shy smile and a small wave. A bold move considering Madison is right next to her. Speaking of Madison I receive a nice glare from her as I smile and wave back at Spencer. I can’t wait for English class now. If I wasn’t so in love with Spencer I would sure be in love with Mrs. Aleman for making us partners.
