Young Love

Chapter One

Julianna's POV:

There are only 2 things I like about being a majorette. The first reason is that I get to do something I LOVEE, which is to dance. The second reason is that my best friend & parents are here to watch me & cheer me on when I get nervous. My cousin convinced me to join the team. She knows I'm in love with dancing, I auditioned to be a majorette the 2nd semester of my 9th-grade year. I was super excited when I found out I made the team but I didn't know any of the other majorettes, their juniors & seniors. I'm really glad she did convince me to join, I've met new people & they are really nice.

Today is the first football game. I'm SUPER nervous. We've been practicing our routine for 2 weeks. I know it by heart but I'm scared to perform in front of hundreds of people. I hope I don't fall on my face or something, but if I do, I'm going to make it look like I was supposed to fall. It's only our 2nd month of school. I actually like my classes. My first period is AP Spanish, then my 2nd period is AP Biology, my 3rd period is Culinary Arts & my 4th period is AP Literature. I have my 1st & 4th period with my best friend, Jacob Johnson.

I met Jacob in the pre-K. We had every class together in elementary. As soon as we met, we were like twins. We got along perfect & ever since the Pre-K, we've been BFF's. Jacob is what you would consider a jock. He plays football, basketball, soccer, & he runs track. The only sport he doesn't play is tennis & cheerleading. He's 6'2, adorable, hilarious, smart, caring, spoiled rotten, talented & the sweetest person on earth. People always complimented us when we would hang out & walk to class. They always said, "You guys are a cute couple !". Which made us laugh. But girls always gave me dirty looks because they assumed I was his girlfriend & I'm always wearing his jacket. But I can not tell a lie. Jacob is very handsome.

 I woke up at 6:30 & dragged myself to the shower. The warm water felt really good on my face & it woke me up a little. I took almost 20 minutes trying to find something to wear & something to do with my hair. I put my hair in a high bun & found a hot pink, lime green, & black scarf, a hot pink short sleeve shirt, skinny jeans, & my black red bottom heels with my jewelry to go with it. As I'm putting my shoes on my iPhone rings, when I look at my phone it was Jacob.

"Yes, Jacob ?", I said as I picked up the phone.

"Well good morning to you too.", he said laughing.

"Haha. Good morning.", I said.

"Do you need a ride to school or are you driving?", he asked.

"Umm, I think I'm going to drive today. But thanks for offering me a ride."

"Alright. Just checking on you. Have a great day, see you at school. I love you !"

"Same to you & behave! I love you too.", I said as I hung up the phone.

Jacob isn't the trouble maker type but then again he's not so innocent. He has a very bad temper. Once in 9th grade, our math teacher took his brand new phone so the next day he put liquid laxative in her coffee & He got suspended for 5 days. When I got off the phone with Jacob, I went downstairs to the kitchen, where I saw my mama & daddy sitting down at the table.  

"Good morning mama & daddy !",I said as I kissed both of them.

"Good morning baby, what are you so happy about? Is it Jacob?" She said smiling.

"Mama we're just friends. Nothing more." I said back seriously. My mama always did like Jacob. She said he was very respectful & a true gentleman.

"Well I hope it's not a boy.", my daddy says with a serious face.

"Of course not daddy," I said with an innocent smirk on my face.

"That's good. But baby girl I don't think I'm going to be able to make the game today, I have to work late. I'm sorry. But your mother will be there."

"It's okay," I said disappointed. I'm used to it by now ever since I was 5 my dad was never able to make it to any of my extracurricular activities. He missed my dance recitals, plays & everything in between. Now that I'm 15, I'm used to the disappointment.

"Well I'll see you guys later, I'm gotta get to school or I'll be late. See ya', Love you !"

"See you later baby, we love you too!", my mama said. When I got to the garage, I opened my door to my brand new 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. I love this car, I got it for my birthday. It's yellow with black, it has adorable rims, Jacob has a jet black one & he thinks he is the hottest thing since sliced bread.

As I pull up in the school driveway, I see Jacob. His nostrils are flaring out, his jaw is tightened & so is his fist. I hurry up & grab my purse & backpack, lock my door & run over to save someone's life. Uh oh! This can't be good.
