Bye the end of the day, I manage to go without any further embarrassment, but I had a feeling it wasn’t going to last long, Seth was in almost all my classes, thank god he didn’t have the same lunch, it had only been one day and I couldn’t stand being around him, not that he wasn’t nice or anything, because he was, really nice. But he terrified me, he made me feel things I didn’t want to feel, I couldn’t be caught up in a relationship, not now when I had to focus for college and swim, this was the year that it mattered most, and after this year it would be senior year, then I would go to college, get a job, and live my life. But when I was around Seth, all I thought about was him, he was so distracting, I might just have to change my classes, but I didn’t want to be rude, so as of now I would just do my best to ignore him and avoid him, just as I had done for most of today, it had worked, sort of. Oh boy, this was going to be a very, very long year.

After school, Naomi came over to our house to do homework, homework. They seriously gave homework on the first day! So rude, thank god we didn’t have practice today. Right now we were sitting on by the counter writing a 1,000-word essay, fun right? Naomi signed, gripping her hair. “This is sooooo stupid, no one cares why either books or computer are better! They both useful.” I nodded, this was incredibly boring. “Let’s take a break a chit-chat.” Naomi said grinning. Now I sighed, Naomi’s idea of “chit chat” was far different than mine. “So, the new guy, Seth, he’s hot, I think I might ask him out.” My blood boiled at the thought and a small growl slipped from my mouth. I gasped, what was wrong with me? Naomi grinned like a mad woman. “Ah ha! I knew you liked him, you big liar.” Blush crept up my cheeks. “I do not!” I exclaimed. I did not like Seth, nope, absolutely not, no freaking way, I liked Leo, that’s it, right? I didn’t have any feelings for Seth, no matter how hot he was, or how delicious he smelled, or even how his voice made my insides melt, nope, did not like him. Naomi raised an eyebrow. “Sure you don’t.” She said sarcastically, then pursed her lips, looking deep in thought. “But Ellie, if you don’t acknowledge it in time, it might be too late, don’t make that mistake.” I glowered at her, I didn’t need to worry about that because it two years I’d be gone, and I’d never see Seth again.
