"My life is shit!"Jake screams at the top of his lungs into the dark, cold ocean. He lays on the warm, smooth sand and closes his eyes as he dreams about the only person in the world who ever did care about him; Isabella. They had been dating for 2 years when one time when they were watching a movie, she told him she needed to tell him something. He looked at her waiting, when he suddenly felt so much pain in his chest. Her words hit him like a million spears piercing his heart. She had said she wanted to break up with him. Ever since then he had been trying to catch her eyes in the hallway, but every time they pass, she just looks away, filling him with sorrow and sadness. But that was the past, a memory waiting to be forgotten, replaced. Jake then got up and brushed the sand off him when he heard his phone ring." Hello?" he answered. "Hey, it's me." He recognized the voice, it had belonged to Isabella.
"oh," Jake said reluctantly," what do you want?" "I want to talk to you." Isabella said almost crying. Jake could hear the sadness in her voice as she talked to him. Why would she ever want to talk to me, he thought while wondering mindlessly toward them newly paved road where his dad's old black pick up was waiting for his return. "I'll be over soon." Jake finally said. He could barely hear her say thank you through all the tears that she had held back coming out at once.
While driving to her house, all he was thinking about is how much he still loves her. I wish I never gave her up so easily, he always tells himself when he thinks about her. He hates Kyle, the popular guy at school and his best friend. They were the two most popular guys at school but Kyle was the best actor in California. The biggest reason was because a week after Isabella stopped talking to him; Kyle had gone and replaced him in Isabella's heart. But she deserves to be with him, Jake tells himself since Isabella was the hottest and richest girl in the school.
Jake stopped at the driveway of Isabella's mansion and sat in the car for a while. What if she was just messing around with him, what she told the school that he tried to screw around with her? Not only would that screw up his social life at school but he would lose his best friend the one who got him this far. "She's not like that." And Jake got out of the truck and walked up to the door. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door opens up and Isabella lunges at him and wraps around then starts to bawl into his shirt.
"I miss you! I'm sorry" still crying into his shirt and now was forming creases in his shirt. Jake stood there, holding her as he felt the wetness of her tears seep through his shirt. All he could think of saying was "It's getting dark out. Let's go back in." Holding her in his arms and thinking is this possible that she still loves me? Still holding her, they walked into the living room. He let her down on the couch and sat himself down on the far end, but Isabella just went to sit beside him and laid her head down on his chest. "What's wrong? Why did you call me?"Jake blurted out, dying to find out why she wanted to talk to him," I broke up with David because I still love you." She spoke while staring at him. He stared into her beautiful emerald colour eyes and saw they filled sadness.
He could feel her crying as he sat there stroking her silky brown hair. She snuggles closer to him and within minutes she had fallen asleep in his arms. The rest of the night, Jake had his mind wondering on the last thing Isabella had managed to let out before she had fallen asleep: "I want to be with you always."

It's the last year, Jake thought, I can't believe I'm actually happy to be back at school. As he got out of the pick-up, he was caught off guard by the bombardment of kisses when Isabella had jumped on him. Although he was happy to see her, many girls weren't, as they stopped in their tracks and walked away dismayed. "So how was your trip to Florida?" He questioned as she cuddled up in his embrace. "Fun, but I wish I had someone to spend it with." They looked into each other's eyes and it felt as if the whole world disappeared and was replaced with their own little world. Their moment of happiness was ended abruptly as Isabella's best friend, Melody came.
Much to their surprise, she did not come alone. Jake and Isabella noticed that she was holding hands with Jake's best friend, Brandon. "Hey you guys! Glad to see you guys back together again."Brandon yelled as they were coming close. "So how long have you two been together?"Jake asked with curiosity in his voice, since none of the girls would ever take him seriously. Brandon had always been the joker in Jake's group of friends, and now he was a joker of the whole school. Not even the teachers would take him seriously. In L.A., the teacher told the class to read the play and he told her that he finished already and had to perform it to prove it.
"I hate to ruin this beautiful moment but we better go now if we don't want to spend more time with Dickweed." Every year, Mr.Phickzead would give a huge speech which no one would listen to. Thanks to the enormous auditorium, most people just do things like make out (jocks and cheerleaders), staring early projects (nerds and newcomers), or just play truth or dare and plan hang out spots (Jake and his friends).
While waiting for the rest of their group, everyone in sight stopped dead in their tracks and just stared at the sight of the new girl. She looked around imposingly, as if she was so sure of herself. Her long Blonde hair caught highlights in the sun, and her hazel eyes flashed around landing on Jake. Something about her stares just... "Jake! Did you hear what I said?" Jake finally snaps out of his trance and was about to answer when he was cut off by the new girl walking toward them. Jake felt a slight tug on his arm and felt Isabella close to him and her eyes filled with hate glaring at the girl. As well as Brandon drooling over the new girl so much he could've filled a fish tank, then quickly cleaned up as she came to talk. "Hi! I'm Alice and just moved here. I was wondering if someone could show me around." She was looking at Jake and he was once again under her spell and almost agreed to assist her when he saw a hand on her shoulder. "Hey pretty lady, I'll be happy to be your escort." Kyle showed up with his "I'll-do-more-than-just-watch-you" look on his face which made girls swoon.
No one was surprised when Alice smiled and agreed, so they all went in and sat in the back corner of the auditorium as the assembly started. As the guy sat in the corner and the girls sat in front of them, Joselynn rushed in and sat down beside melody. After seconds later, Katashi walked in with his laptop under one arm and his bag full of manga and books. "Hey! You guys are late! You both know the punishment of being late." Kyle's grin spread from ear to ear while looking at Katashi's confused look and Joselynn's bright red face. Everyone had huge grins on their face as Katashi leaned in to kiss Joselynn. This had been the unofficial beginning of every game since they always start with this, but Joselynn would always gats flaring red when he's close, and even worse; she freezes in place when she touches him. When Katashi's were about o touch her lips, he turned and gave her a peck on the cheek which still caused Joselynn to turn away face burning hot. She glanced back around and noticed him smiling, which made her heart flip. "OK! I'll start the game." Brandon rubbed his hands together and smiled like a serial killer.
