The beginning

Hi I'm Lizzy Greene and I’m going to tell the story of when I fell in love and my life became the start of a messed up fairy tale. It started 8th grade year on a Tuesday after school I was going to hang out with my friends Cassandra and Brittney. When I got home from school I walked to Cassandra and Brittney's house.

 

  (Knock knock)

 

  Cassandra answered the door and I asked if they wanted to hang out. Brittney comes to the door and say sure but she might hang with someone later on. so we start to walk down the street and I asked who else was she planning on hanging out with. Brittney response was "Nicholas" and as soon as she said that I said "Nicholas Gaddis?" She looks at me surprised and said "Yes do you know him?" When she asked that I looked up the street and saw Nicholas walking down to us. When he got down to us I started to come off a little shy and my heart skipped a beat every time I looked at him and I started to get butterflies in my stomach. I didn’t understand why because this never done this with anyone else I didn’t know. I knew people got these feelings at times but only when they fall in love and I didn’t believe I was.

 

  Well I was so shy and didn't know what to do so I picked up an acorn and threw it at him. Nicholas looked at me for a second and picked up an acorn and threw it at me. Nicholas, Cassandra, Brittney and I all ran behind a tree and started to throw acorns at each other it was fun but it hurt. I gave up on throwing the acorns and surrendered. Then we all started to walk up the street to see if our friends were up the street. As we got up the street we didn't see anyone. I sat down on the side walk and Cassandra grabbed my phone. She started to mess around with it and started recording Nicholas, Brittney, and I. It was a fun day an hour passed and we had to go home because we all had school in the morning. We walked up to Cassandra and Brittney's street. Nicholas went down one street and I went down the other. When I got home I lie down and slowly fell asleep.

 

 That morning I woke up to my alarm screaming at me to wake up. I did not want to wake up for school that morning but I had to. I remember hearing my mom call into my room to get up. I got up and went straight into my closet and put on skinny jean and my shirt that says my anger management classes pisses me off. I eat breakfast really quick and run down to my bus stop. When I walked there the bus slowly pulled up and I hopped on. I walked to the back of the bus and sat down in the back seat. The bus starts to pull off and I was the last stop so now off to school I really hated school but then again what teenager don't. The whole school day went by fast that day I only had a few classes. When school ended I hopped on the bus and went back home. When I got home I dropped my books off and left out. I walked to Cassandra and Brittney's house. When I arrived they were already outside about to go up the street. We started to walk up the street and we hear someone call down to us. We look up the street and it was Nicholas calling for us.

 

  Nicholas ran down to us then I looked at him and asked if he wanted to go to church with us at 6 o’clock today. He stared at me for a second before he replied and said he would have to ask first. Then he asks me for my phone to use so I hand my phone to him and he calls his grandma. When he was asking I was staring hoping that he was allowed. Nicholas hung up the phone and handed it back to me and said he was allowed we all got happy. It was about 4 o'clock then so we just hung out and walked around until it was time to go to church. 6 o'clock came up quick and we started to walk to church. When we arrived I went downstairs to thinking about things because that day there was a lot on my mind and I didn't know what to do. I walked in to the sanctuary and went up the stairs to the balcony. When I was up there I had a lot of time to think until Nicholas came running away from Brittney. Then Brittney got tired of running so she ran back down stair and Nicholas came over to me.

Falling for him

Nicholas sat up on the ledge and acted like he was going to fall to see what I would do so I pulled him on to the balcony. Nicholas landed on to his arm and it started to hurt him and he walked down stairs. I felt bad I didn't know what to do so I just sat back down. All of the sudden I hear Nicholas sister Jessica coming and she came up to me and started to yell at me because of I hurt Nicholas arm. I told her that I thought he was going to fall and she say he wasn't then she left. I felt bad enough she didn’t have to come and yell at me too so I feel worse. Nicholas came up and sat next to me and I told him I was sorry and that his sister came and yelled at me. Nicholas looks at me and told me don’t mind Jessica she'll get over it and that his arm is fine. I asked if he was sure and he said yes and then told me he likes me.

  The first thing running through my mind was is he just saying this to make me feel better or is he serious. Nicholas and I started to talk about things and got to know each other better and before we knew it church was over. But in the same day I found out Nicholas likes me and three of my friends (Brittney, Amelia, and Cassandra.)  Well I started to walk home with my friend Amelia and Brittney and kept wondering what was I thinking I can't like him when he likes three of my other friends but it's only liking it's not like he is going out with any of them or me. When I arrived home I went into the kitchen and made me some Ramen noodles chicken flavored my favorite. When I finished I washed my dish and went to bed.

  I wake up to my mom shaking me telling me if I don't get up now I will be late for school. It was the last day of school until thanksgiving break I was happy. So I get up in a rush and jump into the first clean pair of pants I had and put on a shirt that was Hollister and brushed my hair and teeth then walked to the bus stop. When I got there everyone was waiting for the bus already so I knew I wasn't late. Five minutes later the bus showed up late. I get on the bus and sit in the very back and look out the window as we on our way to school. When the bus arrives at school I go into the lunch room to eat breakfast and sit down. Then the teacher picks us up and walks us to the class room.

 When we get up to the class room everyone sits down and starts to eat. I just put my head down for a little until everyone was done. Then the teacher starts talking and everyone get quiet. The Teacher was writing something on the board but I wasn't paying attention I was too busy thinking about Nicholas and why I couldn't stop thinking about him since I met him. When the teacher looks at me I act as if I was paying attention. The teacher tells everyone it's about time to switch classes.
