Bubblewrap My Heart, Chapter 1

There it is, the first chapter of Bubblewrap! It's going to have awkward cutoffs, 'cause it wasn't written for YT originally. Enjoy!
*****************
I stare at my textbook, clueless as to what I'm supposed to be doing. I let my hand slip into my pocket and pull out my cell phone. I look at the small, lit up screen and scroll through my contact list. I should probably put her on speed dial...
Ah, Carter... Bingo. I press call and put the phone to my ear.
"Hey!" Carters bubbly voice says. I smile at the mere sound of it.
"Hey, Carter, it's Joe," I laugh.
"Of course it is..." Carter giggles. I blush.
"Do I really call that often?" I ask curiously.
"No. I'm just kidding. What's up, Joe?" she asks.
"Math," I groan. Carter laughs.
"It's not that difficult," she notes.
"Would I be calling if I thought that? "I ask skeptically. Yes, I would be... I answer for myself.
"Okay, I get it. I'll be over in ten," Carter promises.
"You're a life saver!" I tell her before she hangs up.
"So I've been told," she laughs. Seconds later I hear the dial tone. I smile and pocket my phone.
I sit down on my bed with a smile on my face. Talking to Carter always does that to me.

Seven minutes - yes I counted - later, the doorbell rings. I sprint down the stairs and take the steps two at a time. I reach the door and open it with a smile.
"Carter. Thanks for coming," I say, giving her a smile.
"I always come, don't I?" she laughs. I step aside and let her in the house. I eye her blue, thick leather jacket, white fluffy hat and scarf, and smile.
"I'll take your coat", I offer. She smiles and hands it to me, along with her scarf and hat. I hang them on the coat rack and follow Carter up to my room. Our usual study spot. See, Carter is my tutor. Not only that, but I'm also convinced she's the love of my life... We're both seniors at our school. She sits behind me in Math and noticed me flunking. She offered, I accepted. At that point, I wasn't aware of my feelings for her. That came later. She's been tutoring me for a year and a half now.

We reach my room and she flops down on my bed.
"Lay it on me, Joe," she says. I grab my books and hand them to her.
An hour later we've finished math, and now we're laying next to each other on my bed. My arm is touching hers and I can't concentrate on anything other than that.
"Earth to Joe!" Carter cries and slaps my chest. I look at her blankly.
"Sorry..." I apologize.
"Spacing out again?" Carter jokes. I chuckle.
"You know it," I admit. There's another thing you should know about my relationship with Carter, we're great friends And that sometimes - like now, laying on my bed with her - makes it harder for me.
"What are you thinking about?" Carter asks and she uses her fingers to walk up my chest.
"Stuff..." You.
"A special girl on your mind?" she asks playfully.
"No..." Yes, you.
"I don't believe you. You had that dreaming I'm-thinking-about-a-girl look on your face," she teases. I turn to look at her and grin.
"How would you know?" I smirk.
"I'm with you almost daily. Plus, you had this look on your face right before you started dating Riley last year..." Carter explains.
"I dont know what you're talking about," I lie innocently.
"Sure you don"t." Carter touches the tip of my nose with her index finger and I smile.
"I have to go, Joey... I'll see you tomorrow in English," Carter says. I smile and nod, though I wish she'd stay longer.
"I'll walk you out," I offer and get up. I hold my hand out to her and pull her up.
"You don't have to," Carter says, grabbing her bag.
"I'm going to Peyton's," I tell her. We walk out of my room and down the hall. Peyton is my best friend. Has been since diapers too She lives next door.
"Tell her I say hi," Carter requests.
"Will do..."
We reach the front door and I grab my set of keys. We both put on our thick jackets and scarves. Winter in Jersey is rough.
"Thanks again for coming over," I say as I close the door.
"My pleasure," Carter replies genuinely. I smile. I wave as I walk in the opposite direction of her. I step onto Peyton's lawn, that's covered in show, and make my way around the house to the back door. I let myself in and walk over to the cupboard. I take two Christmas-themed-cookies out and head up the stairs. I open Peytons door without knocking.

I'm not sure if it's as up to par as I'd like, but whatever :)
