Three Words To Happiness, Sonja Aliccia [most inspirational books .txt] 📗

" I glance down,He thanks the waitress and touched my hand again,"Hey,I didn't seem to mind did I?"  I start blushing again and this time he notices,and starts laughing. "Seems you get embarrassed easily?" He glared at me,Looked away and as I sip on my hot chocolate,I keep asking myself,Why can't I tell if he likes me or not? Usually guys make it totally obvious if they do or don't like someone. Him and I talked for abit longer,He talked about how he lost complete contact with his parents when he was 8,His uncle took him in,And he was never gaven an explination of what happened to them,Or better yet. If they were dead or not.We talk abit longer then he paid and we got back to the car. "So,Hope anything fun you can think of that we can do in this small town?" I glance over and see a bunch of CD's on the side of the door of his car.
"Well,We could just sit here and listen to whatever these are." I reach over and grab the CD cases and see what the titles are. I read some of the titles and I saw We The Kings,Bring Me The Horizon,Skillet and some different genres,Some bands I didn't recognize and some I did. I popped in the CD of We The Kings, All of a sudden the song "Say You Like Me" Came on and I knew all of the words so I softly sung a long as he started the car and drove around a little bit and the whole time the song was on,I looked out the window and started thinking of Chase. Speaking of,He was singing along too. I glanced over and smiled at him brightly. He checks the time and it's already six thirty! "Hey,since it's getting late,Did you want to go for dinner? Or drop you off home?"  "Well,My dad probably hasn't aten yet, I'm not too hungry,So maybe we can hang out tomorrow?" 

He smiled "Yeah,I'd like that." He drove over to my house while we were singing along to a few songs on his mix CD and he got out and opened the door for me again. I so won't be able to get used to this. I get out of the car and he smiles at me "Hope you had a good time,Hope." I smile back "Well,I did. I haven't had too much of a good time with a guy before" Uh, Did I just say that?  I closed the car door behind me and he stood close to me that I was almost touching the car. I see his phone inside the car on his seat,Open the door back up and climbs in to grab it.
"Hey, I didn't think you'd be wanting to spend more time with me tonight" He grins. Luckily his homescreen was already up and I close the car door back up and type my number in.
"Here,You asked for it earlier and I looked like a fool not giving it to you." He laughs "You didn't have to give me your number,but hey, I'm not complaining." He shoots me a smile. "I'll call you later Hope.I head inside and my dad was already asleep,So I went up to my room,Grabbed some pajamas and walked to the shower, I took a long hot shower,by the time I got out it's already 8 O'clock.
I spent a whole hour and a half in there? Jeez. I get dressed and run my hands through my light brown carmel looking hair that goes abit past my elbows. I start to think about a hair cut. I lay on my bed and start reading,until I got lost in my book and started hearing my phone ring,I checked the time and it was about ten O'clock.
I answer, not recognizing the number,"Hello?" I hear Chase's sexy voice answer back quickly "Hey,beautiful. I called to say goodnight and I'll see you tomorrow alright?" My throat suddenly felt dry,my palms got all sweaty, I had to say something. "Goodnight Chase." He hung up,Thank god. I didnt know what else I'd say. I lay down on my back and set my phone down,All I could think about,Was Chase. Why do I feel so good around him?
It was just one date... Wait,Was it a date? Chapter Four: Was Rain My Goodluck?

   So I woke up late for school today, I litterally jumped out of bed,It was Seven Fifty Five. Hope,How did you allow yourself to sleep so late?  I usually ask myself questions when I get nervous,Or pissed off. I quickly threw my long carmel-brown hair into a messy bun,I applied abit of black eyeliner on the lower part of my eye,and started batting my eyes,Seeing if I looked okay,I sometimes hated how I looked with makeup,because when I wore any,You could notice my chocolate brown eyes. I never liked them.
They weren't as beautiful as Chase's eyes. Am I seriously thinking about him again? I snapped out of it when, I heard my phone rang, The name was Louis. He's my best friend of all time. I hear the awkward ringtone ring as I stand there for a second opening my closet. "Hello?" I answer slowly. "Hey,Hope! Where the hell are you?"  I wish I could just stay home today,ugh. "I'm running late today,I probably won't get to school until Eight fifteen,Mainly because I don't have a damn car." He starts to chuckle obnoxiously. "Louis! It's not funny!" 

I grab a pair of grey yoga pants and change into them from my weird banana pants. "Hope,I'll be right over,I'll drive you,okay?" Thank God. It looks cloudy out so i'm pretty relieved he's coming to pick me up. "Thanks Louis,I'll see you in a few" A huge smile came upon my face, I loved Louis,Just as a best friend. He used to stay over last year when my dad started staying out late,He used to come comfort me and stuff,He used to sleep on the couch,or the end of my bed
He felt like a family member that I barely had. I throw my hoodie on and grab my flats,Then I looked at what I was wearing,My usual sweats,sweatshirt and flats,but Chase is at school,Should I change?  Then I hear someone running up stairs,As I go to change my pants, Louis walks in.  "Jesus Louis!"  "Oh my god,Hope! I didn't know you were this slow at getting changed!" He turns around,but closes the door. 

"It's not like I haven't seen you in something like your underwear,We've been to the beach before,And I've helped you go underwear shopping." He slowly turns to glance at me after I pull my skinny jeans all the way up,I notice he's grinning. "Hope,Just pretend i'm your gay bestie" He smiled at me truthfully. "Haha! I knew you'd slowly come out of the closet"  He wasn't gay,Just acted like it sometimes,It was like he was a bestfriend that was a girl,helped me pick out clothes,he had a cute soft spot,A feminine side. I giggled," Alright,I'm ready."

I glanced at him as he picked up my laptop and started to read a few of my messages. "Hey! Mr. Nosey,You're here to take me to school! Not invade my privacy."  He surrenders and shuts my laptop,"Sorry,So I missed one day of school yesterday and you and that Chase guy went on a date?"  I haven't even told Violet, How'd he figure this out?

I feel heat on my cheeks appear "Louis,It wasn't a date,How'd you find out anyway?"  He grins and glances at me "Turns out Chase got abit selfish this morning,Figured he'd tell most of the students." I move past him hiding my pink cheeks and head downstairs. It wasn't a date.... It wasn't.
I mean,not like I've ever really been on one...  "So,Did you finish your history report?" I open the door and glance at Louis waiting for an answer. "Nice change of subject,I'm getting details later." He winks at me and jumps in the drivers seat.
We sit in silence for awhile until we pull up to school,We took longer than usual at my house,So now it's Eight thirty. Great,Detention.  "Sorry Louis,Didn't mean to make you late... " He chuckles. "See you in detenion,Hope."  We walk in and grab late passes and he hands me a pair of headphones,"You'll need these in detention." He smiles. I head to my next class,not looking forward to Spanish. 

************************
So,After dreading those first four periods, I don't bother grabbing any un-edible lunch food,So I sit down and pull my phone out and notice I have a text. Chase: Hey! Lunch? He wants to have lunch with me? I thought he would find me boring after yesterday. It brought a huge smile on my face.  Me: Sure,Where are you? I look around for him,Don't see him.
I casually get up and feel my phone buzz,Almost instantly.
Chase: Step out of the lunch room. ;P
So I feel stupid when I walk out of the lunch room,Searching for him,Until I feel someone behind me. I turn around to see his hair messy,Seems like he just rolled out of bed,Wearing a long sleeved dim red shirt that suited him well, With a pair of worn jeans and grey flats.
It looked extremely sexy,I swear I had no idea why he even wanted to talk to me,He looked... So adorable. "Hey,Hope." I see his eyes wander down from my eyes to my shoes,I knew I should've worn something,That gave less of a 'I don't care' Look. 
We head down the hall and out to the parking lot. He opens the door to his car and I climb in, I saw a few raindrops hit the window as he climbed in the drivers side. "Where we headed to,Hope?"I shrug and look up and make eye contact for a few seconds,until I feel as I'm making things too awkward so I look away.
"How about Mcdonalds or something?" I blurt out. He laughs, "Hope, You're way to good just to spend a dollar or two on for some food that could easily be mistaken for schools lunch."
  I blush and start playing with my phone as he turns the car on, "Surprise me."  He looked so intrigued. He sped out of the parking lot and drove for a good twenty minutes. I was hoping we wouldn't miss next class. "So,Where are we heading?"  "Do you like Italian food?" "It's good,Yeah,Why?"   He smiled just like a boy on Christmas. "Good." He pulls over into some fancy resturant.  "This looks expensive... " He throws his head back and laughs. "It's meant to be." He hurries out of the car to open my door. "Sorry it's a long walk from the huge parking lot to the resturant."
 I shrug it off, "I'm mainly worried about you making me skip fourth period." 

Chase closes my door as I get out "Hey,I didn't make you do anything, Lil Miss Goody Goody."
I blush as I walk to the resturant. We get inside and sit down,He orders some fancy dish I never recognized the name of and I just ordered a regular spaghetti and meatballs. He takes me to a fancy resturant and that's all I get? Wow,Good one Hope.  We talked during lunch,Talked a lot. About how he lives with his uncle and younger
