Nothing But Perfect

How It All Began

Chapter One - How It All Began

"Cassy! Cassy! Seriously! Come On!" I hollered at the top of my lungs. My and my best friend, Cassidy, were once again fighting for locker space.

"Move it or lose it, Eb!" She shouted back at me. I grabbed my fallen books and huffed away like a child. I grabed a seat in homeroom just as the bell rang, making Cassy late. I saw her sneak in while everyone else was watching the morning announcments, trying to look inconspicious. Our teacher saw her and gave her a warning look, making her flush. Cassy huried to her seat right behind mine. She leaned forward, folding her arms over her stack or binders and textbooks to whisper in my ear.

"Did you hear what happend?" she whisperd, turning her head around to make sure our teacher wasnt looking. I shook my head in response. She leanded closer, looking around the room. Thats Cassidy for you, parinoid. "Jax asked Helena out." She fell back into her seat, after she just uttered the worst news ever in my life to me.

I walked in a stoupor all throughout first and second period. Trying to wrap my head around the idea, the idea of my friend going out with the love of my life. I have had a crush on Jax since, forever. I cant remember when it was that i first started liking him, it just seemed like i always did. Things have been complicated, when i learned that he was my other besties ex, Raine, along came the jelousy and the sadness. And then she started dating again so i figured that he would hopefully get over her, which he did obviously since he just asked out another girl. Raine always tells me he isnt a man of many words, which came in handy when i told him that i liked him, and all i got was a text saying "k". That night broke my heart, but I knew it was nothing personal, until now. Well lets see, Helena, shes been my friend for maybe two years now? I told all of my friends about Jax, and we all knew that he liked Helena after his breakup, i just never thought that she would like him back. Now, come to think of it, she said she didnt. I told her I liked her, to make the record clear that he was mine to go after. She even told me, "Oh hes wierd, i dont like him, go ahead." She even had her sights on another guy.

i got the details late at night, maybe two weeks ago. She had texted him, saying that she liked him and what did she get in response? A long written, heart felt text message saying that he was surprised and couldnt wait. i cried, all night long.

i saw them in the hall that day, talking and arms around each other. i kept my head down and walked quickly past. i knew i could never compete with her.

i was in launguage then, day dreaming and worrying. the tacher never calls on me, she knows that i never get the answer right, so i kept to myself. the bell rang and i walked out of class, down the hall around the coner and ran into him. My books fell and i scrambled to the floor to pick them up.

"oh my gosh, im sorry!" Jax said, looking confused. I was looked up at him, he was perfect. Sharp beatifuly blue eyes looking like ice, but in a good way, brown hair that fell into his eyes making his seem mysterious and that smile of his, it makes him look like a little boy, so cute and vanurable.

"oh, its okay." i mumbled and he bent down to help me.

"Jaaaaaaaaax!!!," a preppy voice called and i froze. Jax looked at me, then over my head where the devil was standing.

"oh my, what are you doing down there? Ebony, why did you ram into Jax? be more careful next time, hon." Helena quipped. I gathered my books, turned around and looked at her. She smiled, like nothing was wrong and then pushed past me into Jax's arms. Jax looked at me over Helena's shoulder, pity in his eyes. I was screaming inside my head, love me!!! not her! shes going to break your heart! i l.o.v.e you, instead of speaking my mind, i bit my toung and hurried down the hall.
