Country girl

“ This is new, I've never been to the city” I say. “Well you get to meet some of your family” My mom says, I roll my eyes and lean my head back on the seat and close my eyes. We will get to the school in an hour tops ugh new school, a new place so weird.

35 minutes later, we are finally at our new house. I have to go to school in at least 40 minutes. There are 3 people outside my new house, 3 people to be exact. “ Hi name is Kate, the one wearing the blue shoes is Sam and that is his older sister Hope what is your name” The one Kate said, “My name is Lucinda” I replied. “Lucinda dear is that you” I hear someone say . I turn around to see that it is my Aunt Fay. “ Auntie Fay, how are you?” I replied . “ Good enough I thought you would not remember me since we have not seen each other in Years” she said a bit to fast for my liking, “So your name is Lucinda eh” The one named Sam says I nod and he continues “ nice name your aunt has told us a lot about you good things mostly anyway your parents told your aunt to get some kids that would be going to your school to come and meet you”. “ Is that a good thing” I ask “ Absolutely” Sam says “ would you care to come around the neighborhood with us” he replied after no one said a word “ I would love to but I have to help my parents unpack” I said “No you don’t go enjoy your time” my papa said. “ Okay that settles things it” Sam said, opening the door to his expensive Dodge Charger. “What that expensive sports car? '' I said. '' Yeah, why not? Sam said as I got in his car.

1o minutes later, we arrived at an ice cream shop 2 minutes down the road from the school. “ So Sam, are you joining the football team?” his sister Hope asked. “ Yea I think” as he said this his eyes met mine I felt a spark between us weird. “ So Lucinda you doing cheer” Hope asked me “um I don’t know I’m not a big city person I’m more of a country gal you know and besides I don’t think my mom would let me” I said and Kate said “ oh bummer we need someone like you on the cheer team”. Just then Sam stood up and said “ time to leave for school”. I get a text that says : Miss you!!! How’re you??. I miss you too. I'm fine going to school ugh!!! I responded. “ Hey Lucinda” Sam says as taking my hand “you coming” “yea” I say a bit stunned. “ Am I allowed to wear this to School” I ask. I am wearing a button up shirt and some faded blue jeans and brown boots and a cowboy hat and big buckle belt but “ yea it’s fine” Sam said, eyeing me from head to toe . 2 Minutes later everyone else besides me and Sam are in the school building “ here take this” Sam said handing me his snap and number. “Sure” I say getting up “ where is the art room Sam.” “ I will take you there I got art anyway” he says as I play heaven by Kane Brown.

“Welcome class to 9th grade art, today we are doing a partner art project. You have to draw pictures of something you both have in common get started” The art teacher said. “ Lucinda, will you be my partner please?” Sam asks. “Sure” I say “ so what is your favorite dessert” I add. “Ice cream” Sam said “same” I replied . Here is what we came up with: Ice cream and cowboy boots and a horse though I did most of the work while Sam was just watching me with Curious eyes. “ What” I asked as I finished the project “nothing” he said a bit weirdly “whateva”. “So are y'all done” the teacher said appearing in front of us out of nowhere “ yea” Sam said handing the teacher “our” work. “So I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me after school today” Sam said after the teacher walked away and pinned our paper to the board. “ I don’t know honestly if I can go” I said . “ Your mom said she wanted you to go out and make new friends so please” Sam said practically begging . “ Fine” I said as the bell rang for 2nd period and he grabbed my hand and said “what class do you have next Lucinda” ugh why does he have to be annoying “ Uh I got science” I Said. After school, “hey Lucinda what are you doing?” Hope asked me “nothin” I replied.

“So you ready to go” Sam asked, appearing beside me “yea” I said. “So um what about them” I asked him “my sister’s boyfriend is taking them home” he replied opening the door to his charger for me . “How was your day” he asked as I got in his charger. “It was okay I guess” I said and his eyes wandered to my lips . “So how long til’ we get there” I asked and his eyes left my lips to look at my eyes “not long” he said turning to look at the road good keep your eyes on the road Sam, I thought. More than halfway through the movie “Lucinda you good” Sam asks “yea why” “Because it kinda looks like your blushing and your hand is clenched in a fist” he said ugh this is what I get for choosing a romance movie to watch with Sam. Sam grabs my hand and starts to pry my fingers loose and chuckles when he finally does. I roll my eyes. We have at least 10 minutes left of this romance movie ugh. 10 minutes later, finally it is over.
