Jake and Me.

Chapter 3: All Eyes On Me.

Gabriella Anderson

I woke up that morning feeling groggy. I wanted to let go of the past and start new, but the memories will always stick.

Now here I am sitting in my car. I take a deep breath and get out. I head into the office and pick up my schedule.

Mrs....Morris English lll classroom number 56.

Hey I got this. I'm doing great. I got this. I got this. I make it to her classroom.

I got thi-. And then just like that my confidence is gone.

"Come on in sweetie. We don't bite!", the teacher says lovingly.

I walk in quietly and all eyes shoot to me.

"You can sit anywhere you want darling."

I look around the room, only to see a chair by this boy. He had dark brown fluffy hair, hazel eyes, and freckles.

I walk to it slowly, the boy seems to be in a daze, his friend although was looking straight at me.

I sit down beside him in the empty seat. I planned on staying on my phone the entire time. That is until that boy started speaking to me.

"Hey I'm Jake.", he says his hand sticking out.

I look at his hand then at him. "I u-uh...im Gabriella."

"Pretty name, for a pretty girl.", says the boy sitting on the other side of Jake.

I watch Jake and the boy laugh together. They think their funny huh!??!

I roll my eyes and go back to looking on my phone. The bell rings not long later, and I book it out of there.

Although I didn't lose Jake.

"Hey! Wait up!!", he says.

"Your shoes are untied."

"O-oh thank yo-", I say taking a step to look down at my shoe. Only I fell before I could.

I hear laughter then Jake disappears. I look down at my shoe strings to see they had been tied together.

That jerk. I tried to stand back up only failing each time as I could get balance.

"Need help?", a voice asks.

I look up at the girl who the voice came from and nod grabbing her hand, "yeah..thank you."

"Dont mention it. And don't even engage or worry about Jake Dawson, or Lucas Malee."

So that's their names.

"Yeah. Probably best not too."

"Yeah."

"maybe their twins?", I say.

This causes the girl to laugh. "Im Shyanne."

I smile back. "Gabriella."

"Nice to meet you Gabriella. What's your next class?"

I look down at my schedule. "Astronomy."

"Oh I'm sorry girl, I have Calculus. Let me get your number, and we can catch up later", shyanne says.

I give her my number, and she thanks me before walking off to her class.

I decide to walk to my class, entering I see everyone standing at the front.
