After spending the entire afternoon
with anthony we learned alot about each other. I found out
he moved her recently from Massachusets. Hes italian and
russian, which he thought was a weird combination and he
has a younger sister (Marina) and an older brother
(Dominic, 17). His parents are happily married. Hes a
sophmore. He told me all about how he really likes sports
but snowboardings his one main love. Hes got a dog named
Max, his sister has two gold fish which he doesnt really
count as a pet. I told him about cheer and basically my
whole life. We promised each other we would get together
during the break so i could show him some of the places
most of the guys hang out, i told him about cole and shawn
and he would tell me about his girlfriend he had back home.
They promised each other they would try their hardest to
stay together long distance but he told me how he wasent so
convinced she would be faithful. I told him i would make
sure he had friends and wasent alone and that he could talk
to me whenever. Before i even know it it was 6:!5 and my
phone was ringing, i looked at my phone and saw a text from
my mom telling me to start heading home or i would miss
dinner. "sorry " i began to laugh "hey man
its all good " i continued reading which was just my
mom hitting some random keys in her attempt to text,
"better see if the buses are still here, sorry this
wasent much of a tour" i said making my way over to
the steps " i can give you a ride if you want"
" are you sure?" he nodded
"it would be my pleasure" i lead him over to my
locker and got my jacket out within minutes his mom was
here, she pulled up in a black bmw and she was gorgues man,
she had long blonde hair cystal blue eyes and a killer
body, i could tell where he got his looks from. She made
convorsation and asked me my adress the entire ride
home. I could honestly say she was nicer than a majority of
my *friends* "well this is it " i said as the
slowly proceeded down my block "thank you soo
much!" she chuckled and anothy smiled " anytime
sweetheart"
i think well take a look into
anthonys head next chapter
oh and hey julia (;

I heard footsteps follow behind me.
"wait" i heard his voice and turned around
"look im sorry but i rea-" he cut me off
midsentace putting his hand out, " at least give me
you phone" i was heasitent but i handded the boy my
phone. After about a minute he threw it back to me,"i
added my number and texted myself" i looked at him
confused "well you didnt think i would let you go that
quickly did you?" i laughed a little bit " i u-uh
i gotta go" i turned on my heel and began walking
around " i see you around!" he screamed out
behind me. i walked over to vinnys car and opened the door
to the front seat, i saw donny sitting there so i moved
over to the back seat door, which i opened and to my
surprise i saw shawn and cole sitting right there. gee how
wonderful. i shut the door right away and walked away from
the car. i felt a vibrte in my bag and checked it "get
another ride jacks" i watched from the curb as my
brothers call pulled a way, no way i was gonna sit with
cole and shawn in that little space. " so your
back?" i looked over to anthony "how about that
tour?" and with that we walked
off.
sorry its short but its
just a transition chapter

Once science was over i went back
into the same thing i do once again Everyday . Kind of used
to it by now. My smile always fades right after that period
and dont get me wrong I do miss everyone, all of my
friends. But the quarters comming to an end anyway and
todays the last day before winter break, christmas is in a
few days and then im going away to a ski resort in vermont
and when i come back ill be all refreshed for a new quarter
of difference.My family decided to change it up this year.
I went through the day anxious for its end, and like i said
before i basically got through the day like a zombie. i
knew i wasent taking anynotes i was doodling more than
anything to be honest.Once that last bell rang i couldnt
have jumped out of my seat quicker. I walked over to my
locker just to have it bang right into my head. "You
alright there?" i heard a voice that didnt really
sound too firmilliar. "uh yeah thanks" i said
rubbing my head. i turned to see a dark haired green eyed
boy standing before me, but i still couldnt make his face
out. "Im Anthony" he said smiling a beautiful
perfect smile. "hi im jackie" i said smiling
back. i tried to get my books and just walk towards the
door but he stoped me. "im new here and i was just
wondering if you could show me around or something?" i
was curious because whos really that straight forward i
mean really this is highschool? i texted vinny telling him
i would be a little while and he said i could find another
ride home if i didnt get out there right now. i
cringed at the thought of having to take that bus"is
something wrong?" i battled myself in my head for a
second. it isnt just like a gorgues boy comes up to you and
asks you to basically hang out with him everyday. But i
would be stupid to expect anything out it. "uh yeah im
sorry i actually have to go"
and with that i walked away.
so what do you guys think of
the anthony kid so far, a little to
aggressive?

*One Month
Later*
Let me catch you up.
Its been around ta month since i really spoke to cody, not
that i really cared too much. But i speak to shawn all the
time. Some may even consider us bestfriends. I think im
starting to fall for him. Hard. Not by choice of course. I go
through out my day waiting to talk to him. I dont exactly
think he feels the same way about me, considering i have to
talk to him first all the time but hey worse things have
happened to me. Mandy got back together with her boyfriend
but somethings different about her. We arent really talking
that much anymore either. cheer still sucks. i hate
prentending to be something im not. the girls on that team,
man they sure do hate me. and i hate them too. just because
im not cheerful and wonderful and have this amazing outlook
on life they think im some kind of outcast. i just hope ill
last a few more months on this team and pull through, i dont
think ill be kicked off, i think im more like quiting. But i
gotta keep trying. Jane and i well hm. i dont exactly know
how to explain this one. Once mandy started ditching me for
her boyfriend jane came around more. But im not completely
fond of anyone but shawn right now, I just cant seem to shake
this. welcime back.
I woke up feeling funny. i was tired but not lazily tired.
everymorning i feel worse and worse. i get these pains in my
stomuch but i ignore them. I got ready for school brushed out
my hair touched up they parts i thought could be straighter
and than got dressed. not to fancy i honestly have no one i
need to impress.i threw on a black fitted vneck , a necklace,
a pair of jeans and laced up my combat boots. I grabbed all
my books and went downstairs. I saw the usual scene i see in
the morning, mom making breakfast and vinny eating his brains
out. once i grabbed my cheer bag we were out the door. we
picked up donny and cody and i didnt say a word, just like
everyday, the past month. we got to school and i walked in
put all my stuff in my locker and found jane, we walked to
out first periods since they were near each other like we did
everyday. i went through school like a zombie. execpt for in
science. with shawn. then i was legit alert as an infint.
"hey jackie" i simply smiled back at the beautiful
boy standing before me. i put my books down and we sat next
to each other like we do everyday.
it was about half through the period when shawn turned back
to me "you know you have really beautiful eyes" my
stomuch droped. i couldnt believe what i was hearing.
"yours are too" i was looking directly into his ice
eyes which with time seemed to warm. i liked them. since the
second i met him i loved them.

i woke up the next morning not really
knowing what to do with myself. i felt really tired, sop i
rolled back over. As soon and my side landed i saw the clock
read "10:15" #$%^& CRAP. i sprang out of my bed
not remembering mandy was there. i ran to the shower washed
my body as quickly as possible than my hair. i got out and
threw on an outfit and sneakers that didnt look like i would
be trying so hard for
shawn.(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=44376555). I sat at my vanity with mandy
watching tv like a robot on my bed. i finished my hair in 45
minutes i did it as best as i could. i applied foundation eye
liner mascara you know the drill. i got up to grab some satin
drops for my hair from the bathroom. I walked over to mandy
who was doing her hair with my flat iron. i pulled out the
plug "HA YOU ARENT STAYING HERE!" she looked
at me with confusion "and why is that jackssss" god
i hated when she called me that."because i can barley
control myself around him and im not loosing him to your
looks miss" she took out my foundation and began
applying some to her skin "no no. enough!" i ripped
the pad out of her hand "OUT!" i pulled her
ponytail all the way down my steps and to my kitchen.
"MOM TAKE THIS" I felt a tap on my back an i turned
to mandy "yes?" her draw was dropped and she was
pointing to my right. i followed my hand to where she
had her attention to see shawn and cody standing in my living
room. "you have got to be joking right now" i
whispered into mandys ear. "can i have cody.....after i
get dressed." she whispered back while covering her face
with my shirt.. we both giggled nerviously "hey.."
cody said waving, i got a simple smile from shawn. we bulted
back up the steps. i picked out an old shirt that would fit
mandys thin bodyor so i hoped it would at least look like it
was supposed to be baggy, she had her own yoga pants with her
and a straped bandou. i did her hair while she did her makeup
and we were finished in record
time.(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=44377517)
i grabed shawns bracelet and we
walked down the steps "completely casual" i thought
to myself. "i think thats mine" shawn said when i
got to the bottom of the steps."yeah.." i handed
him the silver chain. "your brother cancelled on
us!" cody yelled my way. " oh, well we were just
gonna go to the movies if you guys wanna come" mandy
butted in."We were?"i was confused. "and you
are?" cody spoke with a flirty tone. shawn gave
her the same look he gave me the first time we met. "
You can call me mandy"

“its really over now isn’t
it..?” I tired to speak slowly not to upset her, as
ridiculous as it sounds kyle and mandy have been dating since
the 6th grade, it was a cute little relationship they were both
too young to have, but as the years went on they stayed
together and their feelings got stronger, 3 years that’s
a lot for kids our age. “Its cause o-of J-jane!”
she managed to choke out. “What’d she do.” I
spoke harshly this time. “Ashley and Bridget texted me
and told me I needed to get to the fair now. So I got dressed
and went, and it took me about 10 minutes to get there, they
told me to go to the graivtron and so I did. They were in a
full make out session, Jane and Kyle. I asked Ashley how long
it was going on for and her a Bridget said for a while and they
kept trying to break it up but jane wouldn’t stop,
bridget told jane that she was gonna tell me and jane
didn’t believe her, little did jane know I was already on
the way, I just don’t get it, I thought he was better
than this, better than her.” I rubbed her back until the
sobs lightened up, i began to feel guilty for not being with
her all night and instead with shawn and cole. I began to felt
so bad that I broke down and explained everything to the bone
of what I had done that night.”Im just so sorry mands, I
would have been there for you, you know that, and when jane
called me I just couldn’t answer it” “Good
for you! You don’t need to protect me 24/7 jacks! You can
have fun too!” I laughed and so did she.
“well!” I looked at her with curiosity
“what?” “DO YOU LIKE HIM?!” I shrugged,
to be honest I had no clue, which is exactly what I told her,
but instead of comforting me she threw a pillow at my head,I
loved mands and the way she could just brighten up, she
encouraged me to call shawn, she threw my phone at me and I
dialed the number I had on the piece of paper. She walked into
the bathroom and I walked over with her to see her washing her
face, “but what am I even gonna sa-“ and then he
answered. “hello?”

roooollllll right now

We
came to a stop at a red light when vinny lowered the music
“ you don’t tell mom a thing okay?” I nodded
and looked back out to see the landscape before me. To this day
I wonder how vinny got this truck. Its extremely expense yet he
doesn’t have a job and he always has money on him, I feel
like my family is alllwayss, keeping secrets from me. And im a
little tired of everyone around me being so secretive. We
pulled up to the drive way and I quickly got out. I opened the
door to my house and ran inside. It was around 10:30 so my mom
was in her room. I walked in to see her almost asleep
“goodnight mom” I kissed her on the head, “I
hope you had fun tonight darling” I laughed a little bit
“yeah I did, love you” “love you too baby
doll” I walked over to my room taking off my boots and
putting them in my closet. I set down my bag to take my phone
out and out fell a chain bracelet, “crap this is
shawns” I remembered taking it off him while I was
cleaning his arm off. I quickly called cole, “ hey whats
shawns number?” I walked over to my desk to grab some
paper and a pen, but when cole responded he sounded irritated.
He gave me the number and before saying goodbye hung up. While
I was dialing the number my phone rang “Incoming call:
Mandy” I pressed accept prepping myself for a long
annoying conversation with a million questions about me
ditching tonight. “JACKIE IM COMING OVER RIGHT NOW
DON’T BOTHER ASKING WHY ILL EXPLAIN WHEN IM THERE
OKAY!!” she hung up before I even got a chance to say a
word, and since she lived around the corner she got to my house
within minutes.I heard my door being knocked on, I ran
downstairs and opened the door to see my best friend with
skinny mascara lines all down her face, her eyes were swollen
and she had tears welled up in her eyes, he long brown hair
clipped back into a pony tail, her tan skin glistened under the
street lights and her gray eyes were percing, she had her
boyfriend Kyle’s sweats on and ran into my arms before I
was even able to close the door.I took her in for a long hug,
we stayed that way for a while, I didn’t know what
happened but I didn’t dare ask. She pulled away
“W-we need t-to talk” I simply nodded closing the
door behind her and locked up. We walked up to my room and then
everything came crashing down.
