One Big Misunderstanding

"You know, you're honestly obsessing over this guy. It's starting to get a little creepy." Jamie said as we walked out of Groovy Smoothies. I sipped on my Strawberry - Banana smoothie as Jamie sipped on her Triple Berry a little too loudly. I walked over to my ipod dock and put my iphone in and played that ain't classy by classified, my favorite song!

"Technically, I'm not obsessing over him. I just have a little crush." I stated, trying to sound as casual as I could. Actually, when you think about it, I guess I was obssessing over a him, I'm such a freak sometimes.

"Please. If that's what you call a crush, then what exactly is it gonna be when you're dating him?" Jamie blurted out, she probably meant to be funny because I almost saw her smile.

"A relationship, obviously. And we don't know if I'm gonna date him or not. He seems a little...too sporty." That's a lie if he didn't play sports, then he would be a loser and not have muscles, which, by the way are huge!

"As if! You would jump into a pool full of sharks for that boy." She laughed. I just glared at her. As I skimmed the stores, looking for Harlow, I heard Jamie snickering at me.

"I wasn't looking for him...in case you were wondering." I blushed.

"My point exactly." She smiled triumphantly. "Hey, look over there at American Eagle! It's Harlow. Go over there and talk to him!" She suddenly exclaimed.

"What?! Where?!" I panicked, trying to hurriedly fix my hair. Jamie laughed at me.

"I pity you." She smiled as I frantically searched around us until I spotted him. Harlow Masterson, standing there, practically bathing in the gold light that was above him. The gold light finding just the right spot on his blonde locks to make it shine perfectly. I sighed. He would never go for a girl like me.

I couldn't stop staring at him, I literally couldn't. He gave me this feeling I just couldn't understand. Then he looked at me. With his ocean blue eyes, he looked right at me...and smiled.

It was heaven, having his eyes gazing into mine for that perfect, wonderful four seconds until I broke it off. I don't know why I broke it off. There must have been something wrong with me because I looked at Jamie and started running. Started running towards where, I have no idea. I just kept thinking I must get away from there.

"Analeigh! Wait up, where are you going? Stop!" Jamie yelled. A whole bunch of people looked from me to Jamie, I started blushing. Great. This little episode will be around the school within a day. So I ran into the store next to me. I didn't know what it was called but when I looked around, I noticed I had walked into the boys bathroom on accident, how embarassing! I ran out before anybody noticed, I looked up and there was Harlow! Shit.

"Oh, hey Analeigh." Harlow said casually as though he hadn't noticed that I was in the boys bathroom. Oh. My. God. He knows my name...

"Hi...I got to go. Bye." I blurted out as I started walking away. I looked at the bench and there was Jamie sitting there laughing her ass off, what a nice friend she is!

"Hey, wait! Umm...nevermind." He said trailing off, I wonder what he was going to say?

"Huh, what did you say?" I asked Harlow casually, trying not to blush.

"Oh, well some of my friends were going to the beach tonight and I was wondering if you and Jamie wanted to come?"

"Really? This isn't some kind of sick joke where I get all excited then you say 'haha, just kidding?'" I said. Fuck, why would i say that?!

"Haha. No, this isn't some sick joke, I'm being honest." Harlow replied. Thank god, wait. This is real. I just noticed that I hadn't answered his question.

"Oh, right. I guess I hadn't answered your question even though it's totally obvious. Well, yes. We would love to. I should go now. Umm...bye." I walked over to Jamie, who was smiling at me.

"Well? Are we going to the party?" She asked, giggling. I blushed.

"Yeah..." We both laughed and headed her place, trying to decide what we would wear for the party.
