The high pitched bell rang and the students shifted in their seats eager to get out, but Mr. Haner was keeping them a minute late, as always. He stared at James and Markus as they talked on, ignoring the teacher's glare. Caitlin looked down at her blackberry and texed her friend Mindy who sat across the room from her.
'Stupid freshmen, do they ever shut up?' Were her choice of words before the teacher excused them. She hit the little send button and got in the line and out the door.
The halls were as crowded as ever, for everyone was always eager to get to lunch and visit with their friends. Caitlin, however, could have been less excited for lunch. This was the time of day she had to see the sad faces of all the guys who dared go up to her and ask the same question, 'Wll you be my girlfriend?' Of course there were many different varieties of this question, but the answer never varied. She grew to find out that they would ask near the end of the hour so if the bell rang, they would leave with no answer and their hopes up high. Today, however, she took a different route. Caitlin texted all her friends telling her to meet at the white blossom tree. The place she often saw no one, so it was safe.
Caitlin sat there, finishing a bag of baby carrots and talking to her friend Lisa who was the only one willing to sit with her in the breezy weather. "I love the fall, when the leaves change colors and are falling off." Lisa sighed, picking up a little white petal. "Yeah, it's the best. But it's also the time when there are freshmen and the cycle of question goes around again." Caitlin gigged while her friend agreed. Both girls got up when they saw that the bell was due in five minutes. Caitlin's summer dress blew against her leggings in the breeze while the loose hairs from her messy bun sprawled across her face. Her nose scrunched and she swiped her hand across her face, putting the hair back in place, only to see Lisa walking on with out her. "Lisa!" She called, but she was already inside, leaving Caitlin to clean up their mess.
