"Good morning everyone, welcome to your first day of kindergarten! Now please choose a partner for the next few activities." Said the woman sitting at the front of the room.
I looked around the room for minutes, but I knew no one. Most kids had already found a partner.
I was about to tear up, but then there was a tap on my shoulder.
"Want to be partners?" A blonde boy with big blue eyes asked. I wiped my eyes and nodded.
"I'm Jack by the way" he mumbled out.*present day*
The sound of my phone ringing interrupted my slumber. I squinted my eyes, adjusting to the brightness. I read the caller id and answered.
"Amber i was having the best sleep-"
"It's 8:30! We start school in half an hour. Get your ass up!" She half yelled in the phone.
I groaned into the phone and hung up. I gathered my clothes, while stretching and yawning, and headed to my bathroom for a shower.
After my short shower I quickly got changed and brushed my teeth. I headed back to my room to put my shoes on.
I walked in drying my hair with a towel still half asleep."Hey" I heard a familiar voice.
I jumped a little.There was jack sitting on my bed, packing my school bag.
"Jack you scared me! How'd you even get in here, no ones home?" I asked my best friend, waiting for my heart to slow down.
"You gave me a key like 3 years ago? He said furrowing his eyebrows.
"Right" I said uninterested.
"someone's cranky this morning" he teased.
"Jack I literally woke up like 20 minutes ago" I said falling onto my bed next to him.
"Shouldn't have stayed up all night" he said in a sarcastic tone.
"You're the one who kept me up! I'm never skyping you again." I said digging my head into my pillow.
He laughed.
"Cmon were going to be late for our first day of year 11." He said pulling me up."Not going" I whined.
He sighed and grabbed my bag, putting it over one of his shoulders. Then he picked my up and threw me over the other.
"you're going!"
JACKS P.O.V
It's nearly 9:00 and its the first day of year 11.
although I've seen Helena everyday of my life since I was 5, somehow I'm extremely nervous seeing her this morning.
But I'm also 95% sure she might not even go today. So I'm going to her house to get her.as I walked into her house i see her with her hair wet and hardly awake
"Hey" i say.
She jumped. it's so cute when she jumps. she's so cute."Jack you scared me! How'd you even get in here, no ones home?" she asked.
"You gave me a key like 3 years ago?" I said looking at her with an eyebrow raised.
"Right" she looked down
"someone's cranky this morning" I teased
"Jack I literally woke up like 20 minutes ago"
she fell onto her bed next to me. I don't think she gets it"Shouldn't have stayed up all night" I whined at her sarcastically
"You're the one who kept me up! I'm never skyping you again." she mumbled into her pillow
I just sat there looking at her, never in my life have I ever been inlove. Why now?
I feel like telling her,
I laughed instead."Cmon were going to be late for our first day of year 11." I yelled pulling my best friend up.
"Not going" She whined.
well I'm not going without her, I need her.I sighed and grabbed her bag, putting it over one of my shoulders. Then i picked her up and threw her over the other.
"you're going!" I shook my head
"SHAWN!" I yelled out to her brother, they're twins. He's my best-friend too.
"yeah mate?" she peeped out of his room door.
"come on, we're leaving." I said
do these Mendes kids have no sense of time?I popped her in my car and Shawn sat in the back.
She didn't say anything the whole trip. But somehow all I heard was her heartbeat.
I never want to hear anything else.Helena, Shawn and I all pull up to school, we see Amber and Cameron waiting for us.
Amber is Helena's other Best friend... Cameron is her boyfriend.I open the door for Helena, her completing ignoring she runs up to Amber to hug her.
I lock my car and walk with Shawn to first period.
Its Science.
