Struck.
I sat there looking up at him, I had never been so happy to see someone in my entire life. He helped me up and gave me a long kiss. “Thank you,” I said as I looked over and saw my friends making kissey faces. Aha they had known I was going to pick him all along. I wish they had let me in on this little secret.


Myka

So I sat there next to my best friend in the entire world, KC., oh don’t tell Haley that I said that she would get so butt hurt! Well Anyway my best friend KC. Richards, a 6’2 guy with big muscles and a surfer tan with bleach blond hair and blue eyes, of course,why did he have to be so perfect! He was wearing tan board shorts with a dark and light blue striped shirt with black and white checkered Vans. Me? I’m Myka Rae, a 5’9 girl with porcelain skin and long strawberry blonde hair I have an average build with green eyes with a little gold in them. I was wearing a white romper with a teal cardigan and teal Vans.

We were on a bus taking us to the White house in Washigton D.C. for a school feild trip, snooze , right? Anyway KC and I were on the outs because we had professed our love for each other and the next day me, Haley, and our chaperone Mrs. Cramer found him kissing my worst enemy Jessica fucking Travis. Who just by luck was in a group with KC, Haley David, a beautiful copper skinned girl with a perfect complexion with perfect, curly ,brownish black hair and is 5’7 with green eyes like me. She was wearing a white summer dress with lace at the bottom and a hot pink blazer with those cute flip-flops from Charlotte Russe.

Jessica was the same height as me but with perfectly tanned skin long straight black hair and gray eyes. She was wearing a bright blue lacy dress with a jean jacket and was wearing white Toms. Jessica was most hated and most popular girl at our school and just had to have the same taste in guys as me! We didn’t really talk to each other until she started to ask me about KC, I had just thought she wanted to be his friend, God I’m such a naïve little twerp!

After all the babble in my head started to fade away KC looked at me and said, “Are we going to talk ?” “No” I said. “Well , when do you think we can?” “How about five minutes after hell freezes over”I said in a calm voice.” Are you seriously still mad?” “ Roses are red violets are blue I hope you get ran-“ “ Yep you’re still mad”"Since your's and satan's kiss you've become perceptive."I said "and sarcastic..." he finished.I rolled my eyes and looked out the window.About ten minutes later Mrs. Cramer got up and stood at the front of the bus and began saying,"Okay guys we're here grab your belongings and head off the bus in an orderly fashion."As soon as i got one foot on the ground the pounding in my head started.

I started seeing black spots everywhere, you know the spots you see when you get up too fast and you think you're going to go blind, and the pounding in my my head went more rapidly now and I shook my head to try and stop it. It persisted so i took a water bottle from my bag an downed the whole thing.I instantly felt better and sighed. I turned to the left and saw a figure in the distance.I squinted and figured out it was a man , he looked so familiar and I felt like I could go hug him and tell him all my problems even though i wouldn't even tell my mom or my absentee dad. I doubt they would even pretend to care about my life or life problems."C'mon we goota go!"Haley said grabbing my hand and yanking me into the White house.As soon as I got inside the dreadfully painful pounding and black spots came rushing back and the last thing I saw before everything went black was the mystery man.

I woke up to the sound of the heart monitor and the obnoxious sound of Haley's snoring.I couldn't help but laugh out loud.Then as my feet moved I felt someone so I quickly looked over and saw KC sprawled out on the edge of my bed I smiled at him as he lay there sleeping.I reached forward and ran my fingers through his hair.No matter how mad I am at this kid I still love him. I bent over and kissed him lightly on his forehead. It took me a while like a dumbass to figure out that I was in a hospital and I flipped out.I ran to get up but was yanked right back down by the I.V. and monitors I was hooked up to. I sat back down on the bed and grabbed my wrist as it throbbed.I looked at the edge of the bed for my info on what happened but found nothing, so I pressed the nurses button and a nurse and a doctor came rushing in, waking up KC and Haley.KC got up and took Haley out of the room saying something about Mrs. Cramer.

The doctor had the nurse do things like take my blood pressure and that weird probe thing where they look in your ear while he gave me the details of why I was here."Well Myka I'm Dr. Saunders ,and Nurse Bering and I are so glad you are finally awake."He must of seen the look of confusion on my face and held up his hand."Hold on, don't be concerned you have only been asleep for six or seven hours since you got here , you passed out due to your body being overly stressed." KC, Mrs. Cramer and Haley walked in and I stared awkwardly at KC as Mrs. Cramer and Haley hugged me a little to tightly."ehemm as I was saying you just need to resolve your stress immidiatley or you will get worse Ms.Rae." I looked over at KC and down at my hands awkwardly."Okay... thank you Dr. ....""Saunders""Right Dr. Saunders thank you we will do that can she go now?"Mrs. Cramer barked."Of course." he said swiftly as he breezed out politely smiling at me.

I quickly changed my clothes and was escorted out by Mrs. Cramer with Haley constantly looking at me then at KC.Which made KC keep looking at me, so I just looked down and didn't say a word on the way to the hotel. We got out of the car and headed into the hotel lobby where Mrs. Cramer pulled out two room keys from her purse."Mrs. Cramer?""Yes sweetie?""Do I get to finish looking at the White house ?""Oh yes we rescheduled to tomorrow morning because some student expressed that they wouldn't want to see it with out you and there was an opening at eight tomorrow." "Cool"I said looking a Haley who smiled devilishly.I smiled back and Mrs. Cramer handed my the room key."You and Haley are bunking together and under no circumstances will you girls go to any of the boys's room with out permission"She said squarely looking at KC who gave an awkard laugh."Now Mr.Richards you best be headidng to you room now you will be bunking with Jerry Samuel in room 703." she said handing him his room key.KC gave a look of digust and headed to his room. You girls are in room 705. Go on better get your rest Myka." I nodded and we headed to our room. Once we were out of Mrs. Cramer's sight Haley and I busted out laughing.

"Aha he got bunked with 'hairy Jerry'!" We looked at eachother and we laughed again. Haley then looked at me with concern."It's because of Satan's mistress huh."I knew she meant that KC was Satans mistress so I couldn't help but laugh and say,"Yeah I'm guessing, but it was weird because right before I blacked out my head was pounding and I couldn't see anything but this man in the distance."We walked into our room which already had our stuff in it and I took the bed furthest from the door and changed into my pj's as Haley did the same."Really?Did you tell the doctor?""Of course not! I did not want to stay there for a minute longer!"Haley nodded in agreement.I looked at her pj's and laughed.She was wearing spongebob footie pajamas And she laughed at mine which were Tom and Jerry footie pajamas."We're dorks"She said throwing a pillow at me "Nope just you I look fresh as hell right naw"I said shaking my head like a bobble head waggling my finger at her."Right!"She said sarcastically.I gave her a mad look and threw the pillow back at her and we both laughed.

She really makes me feel at home. In fact she is my home and I love her to death.We went and brushed our teeth and washed our faces and went to sleep.

I woke up to the smell of lilac soap and hair product as Haley emerged from the bathroom with a cloud steam following quickly behind her.Haley was in a towel and brushing her teeth as she threw another towel at me.It hit my face and I groaned. she laughed "Curm urn hurry urp and turk yur shurwer." she said, toothbrush still in her mouth.As she got dressed I turned the water on, took off my pj's and stepped into the shower.I let the warm water engulf me as I just stood there thinking of stupid KC and his stupid hot body.I went to
