Erasing The Unwanted by Sydnie Short (best books to read txt) 📕

surroundings, I noticed I was alone. Sighing, I got up and walked out of bed. My stomach growled loudly and I exited the bedroom. I stopped in the middle of the hallway and listened closely. Nothing. As I continue to the kitchen, I didn’t see any of the cheery girls. The kitchen was a step away from me and yet it seemed so far. I entered the kitchen but it was deserted like the rest of the house. I scanned the cabinets and refrigerator for something good to eat. This house has nothing in my interests. I guess I’ll just have to go to the corner store.

The cold autumn air wrapped around me like a blanket. Thank goodness I’m wearing Dakota’s jacket. I walking into the store and it made my favorite sound as I entered. What should I buy? I pondered as I roamed the store for a treat.

“You look great in my jacket.” A smooth familiar voice said from behind me.

“Hey” I said as I spotted a Pepsi. I lung over to the refrigerator and picked it out. Dakota insisted on paying for it and I didn’t mind because I left my money at the house. He handed the cashier the money. I snapped the cap opened and slurped it down. Dakota’s eyes widened.

“What?” I asked taking my last sip

“Nothing. Its just you drank that in like twelve seconds.” He said sounding amazed.

“Okay weirdo.” There was quick silence. “ Hey weirdo. You want to hang out”

“Today?”

“No, in ten million years. Of course today.”

“Oh” He nodded in agreement. I swear this relationship is going to be the death of me.

  

  

The carnival

Chapter 3  

Monday mornings are always a drag. My parents are never home to wake me up early. I have no siblings to scream in my ears. Not having to yell at makes me unhappy. The family TV shows are the closes thing I have to a family. People thin I’m lucky to have two parents and no brothers or sisters but in reality it’s miserable. Its like I don’t even have parents. They are never home. The only time I see them is on Wednesday night if I have to use the bathroom.

Going to school this early should be illegal. I thought while yawning. Making my way to the bathroom, I tripped on a brick. What the crackers? My foot was throbbing in pain. This is why I hate bricks. Ignoring the pain, I went to the bathroom.

I went inside and came out twenty minuets later. I spend most of my time in there pretending I’m a cheerleader. I’ve always wanted to be one but I was too terrified to try out. I can’t even walk properly, how can I be a cheerleader?

What should I where today? I ask myself out loud. I might as well go with the usual, the “in a relationship” outfit. Skinny jeans and a fancy top is my way to say I’m in a relationship. I get asked out on to many dates that I had to have an outfit for it. It might be ridiculous but people don’t have any idea how annoying it is to be asked out constantly. I understand some people don’t even get asked out at all but seeing the sorrowful faces people give me when I have to reject them is a heartbreaker.

I go to Barnstable high school. I don’t love it but I certainly don’t hate it. As I stroll through the school hallways, I sense eyes burning into my soul. I presume there curious of my relationship position. I turned my head to the side and they instantly tare away from their stares. I focused my head back to the facade of me and there I saw Steven Hall talking to one his friends. I ran towards the nearest restroom and used it as a hide out. I reassured myself that I was safe until I took in my surroundings and I saw I was in the wrong bathroom. There were a bunch of guys puzzled and some using toilets with their jaw to the ground. I covered my eyes trying to erase the horrific memories and apologized.

Steven Hall Is what I call a player. He constantly asks me out but I continually turn him down. Usually I would accept if I was single but I have strong feeling he isn’t right for me. He is defiantly attractive but to cocky. I believe he wants me for my look as well as many others. I guess he is another dumb jock who gets what he wants.

Looking both ways through the vacant hallways I rove to my homeroom. Suddenly I felt a firm arm wrap around my waist. I knew it wasn’t Dakota’s because he doesn’t go to this school and his arm is less muscular. I released myself from the grip and twirled around ready to face Steven.

“Hey Ginger” He greeted me with a full-size smile.

“Hello” I greeted him back politely. I might disgust him but I don’t present it to him because I’m to kind.

“So who’s the lucky guy?” Steven asked warily and I sensed a bit of sorrow in his tone. He kind of looked cute why he was shy.

“You don’t know him” I respond biting my bottom lip awkwardly. I don’t know why that’s a turn on to people.

“Do you like him?” This conversation officially got awkward. That actually is a great question. I think I do. He is great company, kind hearted, funny and not to mention drop dead gorgeous.

“Yeah I do.” I answered nervously running out of conversation talk. I hardly call this a conversation though.

“I’m glad that you’re happy then.” He gave me a weak smile. Is he actually hurt that I’m dating someone else?

“Um, I’ll catch you later. I’m late for homeroom.” I said trying to rip away from this tête-à-tête.

“Okay bye” He waved me goodbye and I took that as an opportunity to escape.

 

School went by like gush of wind. Nothing interesting happened today. I’m just surprised Steven didn’t hit on me. I guess he got the hint. I was outside with some of my friends when I saw Dakota. I was freaking out. I wasn’t ready for him to see me as this. I told my friends something came up and dashed away.

“Hi Ginger” my friend Olivia greeted me. She is kind of a nerd but she is cool.

“Hi” With that I started to rush through the hallways but an idea popped in my head. I turned around and ran towards Olivia.

“Olivia wait up!”I yelled from down the hall.

She stoped in her tracks and turned around to look at me. I finally caught up to her but I was panting like crazy.

“I have a favor to ask”

“Of course what is it?’

“I need you to switch clothes with me.” She gave me a crazy look.

“Why?”

“No time for questions hurry!”

 

I’m surprised her clothes fit me perfectly. She looks amazing in my clothes.

“Thank you thank you thank you and you can keep the clothes. “ I told her excitedly.

I ran towards the exit, hoping Dakota is still here. He was leaning against his silver Toyota. He pulled me into a bear hug and smelt my hair.

“Hey” I said in his chest.

“Hi” he said with his chin on my head. He released me from his embrace.

“I got a surprise for you”

 

“The carnival?” I ask somewhat confused.

“Yeah I have a surprise”

“Wow”

He took my and hand and led me to the ticket booth. Girls gave me looks and I felt really shy. Dakota called ahead so we didn’t have to wait in line.

We just got off the carousel and Dakota is mad that I got the bigger horse. We were walking and talking but suddenly we stopped at the Ferris wheel. He knows I’m petrified of heights.

“Dakota I forgot something in the bathroom”

“You didn’t even go to the bathroom.”

“I just don’t want to go on that thing.” I said pointing to the ride.

“Nope your going on it.” He said dragging me towards the Ferries Wheel/”Gosh I hate you.” I pouted. We got on the ride tighter but I didn’t bother to sit next him because of my anger towards him. The ride started to turn but stopped at the top. I’m completely scared now. I couldn’t stop shaking. Dakota got out of his seat and hugged me tight.

“Do you trust me?” he gently whispered in my ear. I didn’t trust my voice so I nodded instead. He took my hand and stood me up. I started to freak out again so he pulled me into another hug.

“When I let go look into my eyes, okay?” He said with a soothing voice. Just his voce made me calm down. He pulled away and I looked into his beautiful blue eyes. I was lost into his dreamy eyes. Its like his eyes are glowing in the moonlight. He pointed to the sky and I reluctantly looked up wards. There were fireworks that read:

“Ginger you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever see. I’m glad you’re my girlfriend”

The last firework was a heart. I stared at the sky waiting for more but it was over. My eyes started to water and pretty soon I was crying a river. No guy has ever made me feel this way. I feel like crap because I don’t deserve an amazing guy like Dakota. I turned my attention to him. He had a grin that stretched to the moon.

“I mean every word.” I didn’t even reply. I just smashed my lips to his. It felt like we were making fireworks of our own. His soft lips kept throwing tingles through my mouth.

Best Day Every!

 

 

 

He’s over with us, I’m over with us

 Chapter 5

 

Dakota and I have been dating for a month. Everyday I spent with him was pure heaven. Today is the day I’m going to show him the real me. Well I already have but appearance wise. I just feel like I don’t deserve him.

The final bell rang meaning school is over. I exited the classroom first eager to see Dakota. I quickly loaded my book bag with books from my locker and sprung towards the school’s exit.

I stepped outside into the fresh cool air and scanned the area. One problem, there was no Dakota. A frown crept on my face. He’s never late. Maybe he’s hurt.

As my mind started to think of the worst, a tap on my shoulder snapped me out of them. Turning around hoping to see Dakota but it was only Steven. A ray of disappointment ran through me.

“What are you doing
