Misconceptional love.

#RWChallenge10

Hello peeps.

Not being part of the romance club I still decided to try out this type of writing. I'm not sure how if I am with more of a romantic style of writing. I used to write more romantically things back in the day, but just kind of lost it I guess.

Either way I liked the prompt of the current Romance Club Challenge and thought it would be sweet to form a story around it. So I decided to write a bit and then post it as a small participation in the current challenge.

Maybe i will continue the story as a whole, though I'm not sure yet.

"Hello-o?! Are you paying attention?", Mrs. Cackler shouted right into my ears again while standing next to my desk. We were in the middle of Math class, it was boring as always.

I heard some girls in the front row giggling lightly, making fun of me again. I had fallen into a daydream once again. My thoughts had drifted elsewhere than mathematics.

"This was the last time I warned you Cleo. Now it's been enough times for you to picture the consequences. You'll stay after class and finish extra tasks on your own. Until all of them  are fully correct you stay. No mistakes. I assume when you don't have the urge to listen to my lesson, you already know everything about it. ", Mrs. Cackler spoke to me but was already facing the board again, trying to get back into her concept of the current lesson.

It was not my fault, I didn't even do anything to interrupt. I had no problem with staying after class. I was relatively good at mathematics at that time so I didn't bother about some extra tasks. I was actually pretty glad about staying away from home for a bit longer.

As my daydream had been slashed by Mrs. Cackler I decided to focus a bit more onto her lesson, or at least pretended to. I also stayed when everyone left the classroom as the bell rang. When the big and round looking Mrs. Cackler came to me to tell me about my tasks and tried to educate me about my behavior I didn't give her much of any notice. I took the papers she handed me and started working on the tasks while she was still talking to me. She didn't mind it at all and exactly that was why she was such a bad teacher in the first place.

On my way home from school I thought about my daydream again. I walked slowly and always took advantage of the beautiful small park that was in between my school and my home place. It was a bit outside of town, most of the time rarely saw any visitors so I guess it was pretty glad to see me every once in a while on my way back home from school. I sat onto an old bench under a bigger tree that gave some shadow. One had a beautiful view over a small lake and a lot of different green plants and lots of bees flying around. I loved that place, it was so peaceful.

Danny had really kissed me. In the middle of the school hallway. But I had a crush on Pete for a long time. There were so many thoughts going on in my head. Everything was just swirling around and making more and more trouble for me. I usually have multiple crushes at once.

This time I had three different persons that I felt particularly attached to.

One of them was Danny, the one I had just daydreamed of in math class. He was this pretty white boy, he was skinny and small, yet still taller than me.

He had small and fluffy blonde hair and wore glasses.

He was nerdy, yet cool at the same time. I think there was no one he didn't get by with. I ired him for that and always enjoyed the time with him whenever I got it. We had one or two talks alone after class, but as always I couldn't get a lot of words figured out to say as I was just too nervous.

Pete was one of the boys from my neighborhood. I've always known him and we have always been close friends since our childhood. He was tough and strong, yet smart and a good person to others. I've always looked at him as my big brother, but after a couple of months I started to feel more happy around him. I spend a lot of time with him and his friends, because they accept me as I am and let me be.

Then there was Naomi, she was one of the sportier girls in my year. She had so many activities and participated in so many clubs. She was just so beautiful and nice of a person, I truly ired her.

Well you dreamed about Danny again.. I thought to myself and questioned every single emotion I had felt in the last couple of days- for the third time this week.

A sudden "Hi there!", made me look up from my thoughts. As I looked towards the direction the voice came from, I saw Pete coming my way. He left his bike on the pathway and quickly walked towards the small bench behind the tree I was sitting on.

"H..hi", I tried to welcome him and made some space on the bench for him. "You here again? Enjoying this peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes you flatter me by the good person you are deep inside.", Pete said as he sat next to me on the bench, looking over the small pond that laid ahead.

The water was a bit greenish, yet clear at the same time. There were a lot of beautiful flowers surrounding the pond, then there was me. Being nervous by the general presence of Pete himself, I just felt like my nervosity could be seen as an aura around me. He just complimented me and now sat next to me.

He ired the scenery and I tried to calm myself without him noticing, then he finally broke the silence:" Would you like to come to the party tomorrow evening? It would be nice to have you around. Some of the other guys have requested for you to come. ".

"No, I.. ", I instantly responded and it felt like I was thrown back to reality, back to the me that felt comfortable and self conscious.

"I have a lot of stuff I need to do. There's homework- and I need to help my family out when the weekend is coming. ", I argued.

Even though I actually liked the idea of coming to a party, I felt like I had to decline that offer.

"I mean it's up to you. It's just..", Pete turned to me and in a way I was sure he must have seen how red my face got, "You were not around the hood much lately and I thought it would be a good idea to invite you again. ".

Again my inner me won over my reaction as I responded:" It's just that I have a lot to do lately. Life is though-", I wasn't finished yet even though I was sure anything I said had no deeper meaning anyways ak me clearly, though took the conversation as to be done with. He turned away from the pond again and walked back onto the pathway, picked up his bike and quickly drove away. I was alone again, left with my mixed emotions again. The emotions I had no idea to handle lately. If there was just someone to tell me what was right and what was wrong. I felt so bad with myself once again.
