So its my first day of school, and its my birthday. My god. I'm scared and excited. I pranced up and I ran to my wardrobe, while I'm literally throwing all of my clothes out and running around like hyperactive turkey! I got my makeup, my god It was a struggle. I did it in 3 minutes stat. All because it was my 16th birthday. I ran down the stairs making loads of noise. I got to the bottom of the stair and I ran to the kitchen and I slowed down (casually) and went "Hi Mom, How's it goin'?" she laughed and went " I'm giving you your present a bit early this year. I got confused, she always gave me my present after school. She handed me a tiffany box, of course I thought it was jewellery. well I hoped. I opened the box with a letter and my mom's old car key. You all know what it is. A CAR! The letter said " I gave you my old Mazda 3 because you deserve it and I wish you for the new year, you've also got some converse in the shoe box. Enjoy!" I gave my mom a hug and kiss on the cheek. My god I love my mom, I got a card from my dad saying " HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM WASHINGTON D.C!" with $100 in it. I was so happy, so it got to 8:00, my mom told me the route, and I was off! So I turned into the school yard in my dark red Mazda 3. I got my backpack and got out of my car, with a nervous look on my face. I got to my locker and everyone was staring and laughing at me? Was it my braces? Had I put too much makeup on? I really don't know. All I know is that, there was a handsome, magnificent guy that stood next to me. I was locker 9765 he was 9766. My god.. He had that look on his face, like he cared and he introduced himself... "I'm, Jake, and you?" I kept on stumbling, "I-I-I'm Jen" I stuck my hand out like a business woman, he asked where I was from, I told him. His girlfriend came down and she shoved me away and went, "Who's that? The clown?" She laughed and took him away. I'm used to it. I walked away in despair. I got to registration and I started to panic.

I met my first teacher, who introduced me to the class. Jakes girlfriend was there and she made some more 'silly' comments. Anyway, I sat down in my seat, I got tired of standing up in front of the class. So she marked me in, and I went to my first class. I got scared. Like usual. for some odd reason, I had a good feeling about this school. Not because of Jake, but of the feeling of brightness. I can't wait until prom this year. Even though its 9 months away. I waited until after the lesson until I went to study period. I worked on the history essay that my teacher just set me. Yeah. It was hard and my hand kept on making this clicking noise. This girl sat next to me and Asked who I was, "I'm Jen and you?" she looked at me, and she gave me a grin and said "hi I'm Louise. I-I-I don't have any friends. People think I'm ugly, and a freak"

"you're not. Everyone is beautiful. Don't worry. I'm always getting picked on because I'm not the prettiest girl in the school. Even though it's my first day. But I met Jake. He understood me"

"wait is he a jock?"

"yeah why?" I asked horrified

"well... He's going out with the most popular girl in school. She's the meanest bitch in this school. Don't know why he likes her." I got a bit nervous when she told me that, because, what if he ever fell for me? Wait. I'm thinking too crazy now! Why would anyone like me? I'm ugly! How dare I think of such a thing?

So my first day of school was over and I was walking to my car and I got into it and drove away but in the distance of my rear view mirror I could see jake running with a book. I didn't think anything of it. Probably he found it and wanted to give it to me? Should I go back? Or should I wait until tomorrow? I really don't know.. What should I do? Should I do a u-turn so I can see what it was? I'm so confused. Maybe he would find me on Facebook and tell me that way. I got half the way home until I kept on thinking if I should've turned back or not. No I should go on. What about if he needed me? I really don't know. I'm going to drive home and see what I might have missing.

I pulled up onto the drive and checked my backpack for any loose books. I looked deeper in my back and I found my story writing book was gone. Damn, it had some stories that I wanted to share on my blog. Dammit. Thats what he was trying to give me.

I got out of my car and went inside. Suddenly I saw a dark blue Ford Mustang GT coming up the road. It pulled up outside my house. It was jake! Oh my god! How did he know where I lived? I went up to the car Window and he said "you dropped something?" I got so nervous I didn't know what to say...

"thanks. My dad gave this to me for coming first in a pie eating contest" we both laughed. He asked for my number. I got nervous but I gave it to him. "how did you find out where I live?"

"I have my sources" he smirked

"did you? Did you stalk me?"

"maybe..." after that he said he had to go to Chesney' (the mean popular bitch of a girlfriend he's going out with) and he drove off.

I ran inside went upstairs and updated my blog straight away!

I couldn't of been happier. My mom walked in and asked if I had a nice birthday... I told her what happened and she clapped and gave me a hug.

First day was complete. Well not exactly.. At 11pm I get this anonymous text message. It was from JAKE!

He asked if I could meet him at the local hospital. He found his mom clasped on the floor with blood flowing out of her head. So I did what any friend would do. I went to the hospital to see if he was ok. I ran into my car and I drove to the hospital. I got nervous for him. I nearly was in 4 accidents on the way but i had a good reason. I pulled up in the parking lot in the hospital. And I ran in. I saw him in one of the waiting rooms after 10 minutes of searching. I went to him and gave him a hug. I asked him where Chesney was. He said that she didn't come because she was to busy. Yeah doing make up for the next day. Ugh! How dare she leave her boyfriend in this much despair. I waited there for 3 hours with him while he told me what happened. A doctor with blue scrubs came out and gave jake some bad news. He's mom was dead. He collapsed onto the floor crying and I gave him a hug to try and calm him down. He didn't want to go home because he didn't want to think of the memories. So I called my mom and she said he was allowed to stay there. He followed me in my car back to my home. I dragged him up to the spare bed and he laid down horrified of what he saw. He asked me if I could lay with him until he got to sleep. About 4 in the morning he finally went to sleep. I couldn't be bothered to go to my bed so I slept in the bed with him.
