Her secret with him, Stephanie Lynn Hutchinson [short story to read txt] 📗

in the house when I come to the door mittens is still there turning in circles wagging his tail. I Guess now is a perfect time to talk to her. So I head in the direction of her house. Holding Mittens and the notes and homework I hope this works. I’m shaking like crazy.

Annebeth.

I’m getting to close to his house I’m starting to see it in the tress. But I could help but notice his car as well why is he home? I start of walking a different way I know mittens isn’t at his house he knows better to go there. After a couple steps I see mittens running to me. I bend down to pick him up and then I see Matt I couldn’t help but smile so I quickly brought mittens to my face to hide it or at least play that the smile isn’t for him. “You found mittens thank you so much.” I spoke and the words were out the first word I ever said other than class things.
“You’re welcome. He was just laying on my door step when I got home so I thought that I would bring him over until I guess he saw you and ran over.”
“Well you don’t know what this means to me,” I put mittens down and i didn’t even think twice and I just hugged Matt. I felt so right like I was meant to do it. After that was done I really just wanted to go home. “Well I really should get home you know.”
“Oh yeah right it’s a little late can I walk you back.”
“Yeah I’ll like that.” I couldn’t help but smile. Everything would have perfect if I would of watched were I was going and not looking at matt I wouldn’t have I fell and hurt my ankle.
“Oh my gosh, Anne are you okay?” he came rushing to my side.
“I’m fine but my ankle really hurt I’m not sure if I can walk oh it let me just call my mom.” He gave me his hand.
“No need. Here I’ll carry you on my back.”
“Are you sure?” I was really happy to be that close but I could help but think it wasn’t a good idea.
“Yeah you can’t walk and were only a couple feet from your house let’s not worry your mom.”
“Thank you.” I let him pick me up and put me on my back and he took mittens leash and he walked happy next to us. I rested my head on his shoulder I just wanted to stop time it was just so perfect. Everything just felt so right in the moment.

Matt.

This moment in time was just so perfect. She just felt so relaxed unlike most girls I had on my back. She had her head on my shoulder and she was talking and I had her giggling cause at random moments I would spin her it just was perfect. I hated that it had to end when we got to her house. He mother was on the porch. Of course worried.
“Oh my sweetie what happen.”
“Mom this is Matt,” She said as i put her down and she started limping I felt so bad. “Mittens was at his house. He’s our neighbor from a far as you put it.”
“Nice to meet you Matt.”
“It’s nice to meet you as well.”
“Beth why are you limping?” She calls her Beth that’s just a cool little nickname to Annebeth. She don’t know but I have always called her Anne of course not to her face.
“It’s okay mom I just tripped over a tree root. It’s nothing bad.” She walked up to door. She stopped as her mom went in to aid to her daughter ankle. She turned around and just kissed my cheek . I was so shocked that I forgot to hand the homework and notes. “I’ll see you at school Matt.”
“Yes school tomorrow. I’ll see you then.” I started to walk in and I remember the papers. “Hey Anne.” She turned around.
“What up.” I walked up to her and handed her the paper.
“I took these notes and the homework for the two classes we have together sorry I couldn’t get the other two classes.” She hugged me again.
“No its fine thank you so much you didn’t have to do this for me.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“That you will.” She smiled and walked into her house and I started to walk to mine.

Annebeth.

I can’t believe I hugged him. It felt right. I’m also so happy that he took these notes and even brought me the homework it was so nice of him. When I come inside I sit and just let my mom aid me cause that’s what she does there is not stopping her. I work on my homework and stick the notes in my book. I can’t wait until tomorrow when I see him. After a while I get tired and head to bed. Waiting for the morning.

MORNING.

I wake up later then I normally do cause I picked to rest my ankle and not run. It still hurt so I wrapped my ankle in an ace band aid and get dressed. Today I picked to wear my hot pink shirt that said my life across my chest and my black long skirt to make a dress well it looked like one. I went downstairs and let mittens out and went to make something to eat. I got my backpack and keys and got ready to leave as I let mittens in a car pulled up in my drive. Matt stepped out of the car.
“Hey I just thought I would give you a ride because of your ankle. Unless you rather drive?” I had to think quick but as soon as he pulled up I wanted to jump right into he’s car.
“Yes that will be so nice thank you.” I walked to the car. He walked around to and I was wondering why until he opened the door for me. “That’s nice of you I never had anyone open the door for me.”
“Not a problem at all I’m a perfect gentleman.”
As we were driving I could help but just look at the car. It was so much neater them my car and in the middle was a cd deck. I was surprised when I saw we had so much music in common. I saw he had the new Black veil brides cd And there my favorite band so I picked up the cd. “Do you mind if I play it.”
“Listen to want ever you want.” Everything was just so perfect. I played the cd and we both was singing and at red lights he would do all these goofy things that made me laugh a lot. Couldn’t ask for a better morning. I got a little upset when we pulled into the schools parking lot he parked in my normal spot. When we pulled into the spot and he came over to my side again and opened my car door. Molly was already standing there she was smiling I already knew what was going through her mind.
Matt handed me the back pack from the back seat. “I’m so sorry for what might happen” I can see he didn’t understand what I meant at all.
“Okay?” The three of us walked into school I could already hear the people talking.

Matt

I didn’t know why she said she was sorry when she said it but then everyone was thinking the same thing and I hit my like bricks. I held my head still cause it was spinning so bad.
“Matt are you okay?” It stopped and the only thing she did was put her hand on my arm.
“I’ll be fine. I think.” She took her hand off and it all started again. What is going on this is crazy. Everyone is talking about me and Annebeth this is crazy. I’m going to have to deal with this all day.
“Matt I’ll see you in class the bell for first just rang.” She again stopped the noise and hugged me and I hugged her back I love holding her in my arm until she pulled away.
“Okay just be careful with that ankle you hear.” She just smiled and walked away with molly they were giggling about something.
I head to my class and I can’t focus cause everyone in looking back at me and everyone thoughts are running on the same thing. I just put my head down cause I couldn’t take it.
We the bell ringing I head to the next class its quite in here. I can’t hear anything and my head is ponding so I just but my head down. I hear someone pull a chair out from next to me which no one does I always sit alone. I picked up my head to see Annebeth I laid my head on my hand and looked at her.
“So what do I owe this pleasure of sitting next to you.”
“You had your head down and I was just coming to make sure you were fine. Are you okay?”
“My head just hurts.”
“Do you want to leave I can go with you or I can get molly to take me home.”
“What about class?”
“My ankle hurts a little.”
“Well if you would let me I would like to take you to this place it’s by a lake and it’s so peaceful.”
“I would love that. Want to go now?”
“Lets.” Next thing she holding my hand and were leaving the school.

Annebeth

.

I’m leaving school. It’s not even lunch yet. I’m just happy to be leaving with Matt. We get in the car and leave to a place I have no idea where it is. We drive for 30 minutes to Lake City and we were on a beach and it was so perfect there and it took my breath away. I took off my sandals and we started to work in the sand. We walked to the water and start to walk. I was so perfect we were joking around, he kept picking me up and spinning me, and we were throwing water at each other. We started to get a little tried and we sat in the sand together.
“Thank you Matt. This was perfect day.”
“Anything for you.” I laid back and he did to.
“So are you going to tell me what happened in school today.”
“Everyone was talking about us and it was just driving me crazy.”
“Matt no one was talking about us what are you talking about?”
“It’s nothing I can’t say anything about it please forgive me.”
“Okay?” I wanted to know what was going on in his mind why he just wanted to leave school like that.

Matt.

I wanted to tell her the reason I wish I could but I can’t she has to find out for her own. Today is just perfect playing around at the beach and lying in the sand. I’m going to ask her.
“Hey Anne?” I’m shaking this isn’t good.
“Yes Matt?”
“I was wondering if I could ask you a question.”
“Well Matt you just asked one. But alright shoot.”
“I was wondering . Well will you go out with me.” I’m going insane I hope she will.
“I would love that.”
“Really?”
“Yes.” I was so excited that I jumped up and picked her up into the air. She was giggling and she was hugging me around my neck.
“You don’t know how long I wanted to ask you that question.” We lay back down but this time she’s laying on my chest and I’m stroking
