Allison woke up with a start. She groaned and rolled over to look at her clock that read 7:25. She jolted out of bed and ran around her room, grabbing whatever looked good and throwing it onto herself. She looked into the mirror and applied a little mascara and brushed her hair, then put on a beanie. She checked the time, 10 minutes before the school bell rang, grabbed her shoulder bag and bolted out the door.

 

Allison had just made it to her first period class when the the first bell rang. She had Theatre with her friend Maryam

 

“There you are!” Maryam called to her. Allison smiled and waved. Maryam wasn’t just her friend, but her best friend. The two did everything together. For Allison’s sweet 16 they went to Santa Cruz and Maryam’s parents invited Allison along to a trip to New York.

 

“Sorry I overslept again” Allison said apologetically as she dropped her bag down by the wall and sat down on the floor. This wasn’t the first time she overslept. It happens a few times every month.

 

Allison and Maryam were in the middle of laughing when he walked in. The boy from yesterday. She gazed at him for some time, feeling the heat rise into her cheeks again. He was so cute it shouldn’t be natural.

 

He walked over to the teacher and they spoke for some time, sharing a few laughs. She called out to the class “Will someone show Jace here through our class? He’ll be needing some help to catch up if someone doesn’t mind.”

 

Every girl except for Allison raised their hands. She wa too fixated on Jace. Watching him. He turned and their eyes met. His mouth parted slightly as he stared at her. He turned his head slightly to speak to the teacher but never taking his eyes off of her.

 

Ms. Lindell smiled and spoke “Allison will you come here please?”. Allison broke eye contact and stood up. She received whispers from the other girls as she made her way over to the teacher.

 

“Allison I want you to partner with Jace for the next few assignments” Ms. Lindell instructed.

 

“Yes ma’am” Allison smiled. Ms. Lindell assigned Jace across the room. Allison went and sat beside Maryam.

 

“You’re so lucky Allison!” Maryam squealed, “He’s so cute. I wish I had a boyfriend like that.”

“Yea. He is pretty cute.” Allison sighed and turned her attention to the teacher. But she couldn’t think because she was thinking about Jace.
