Chapter 2: Thoughts

I don't know what to say while he just stares at me and smirks. Luckily, the teacher walks in and begins class.

"Good morning fresh meat." Ms. Driver smirks. Everyone groans and the boy next to me just laughs. As I look at him, I notice his jawline that could cut through diamonds, and a lip ring that shines in the sunlight. He looks down and catches me staring. I blush and look away, but I can feel him looking at me through my short Brown hair that covers my face.

After class was over, Haley and Aubrey bombarded me with questions.

"What's his name?"

"Does he like you?"

"Do you like him?"

"Look guys. We just met and I don't even know his name." I say frustrated.

"Well that's too bad because he's so freaking sexy." Haley says dreaming.

"Don't you have a boyfriend?" I retort.

Aubrey laughs and then says "Speaking of the devil."

We all look to see Seth, Haley's boyfriend, jogging down the hallway. He grabs Haley and kisses her while Aubrey and I fake gag. Then suddenly, Wyatt, Aubrey's boyfriend comes up and hugs her from behind. It reminded me of someone who I thought cared about me. I suddenly feel sick and upset.

I tell them goodbye, and head back to my locker to get my gym clothes.

I see the blue eyed boy at the locker on the right of mine. He looks up from his locker to see me opening mine. He smiles and says "I don't think we've formally met. I'm Cody Dallas."

"Chanel Espinosa." I said as I shook his hand. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful his hands are.

"Like what you see?" He asks playfully.

"Whatever." I say and laugh it off.

We just stand there smiling, and all of a sudden Cody says "I have to go. See you around." He dashes off without taking another look at me.

Later, when I got home, I trudged up the stairs, turned on my music, and started my Algebra 2 homework. My 12 year old brother then bursts through my door yelling "MOM WANTS YOU!"

"There's no need to yell Treyvon!" I shout back.

Ever since our dad left us for that slut,  I've been taking care of Treyvon, Maya (8), Noelle (8) and my mom. I told my dad to never speak to us again, and he granted my wish. Now I'm 14, almost 15, taking care of a family. (Minus the bill paying.)

My mother called me down to make dinner while she took a nap. Then, Maya and Noelle needed help with homework. After that, Treyvon needed me to sign a bunch of papers for football and needed help with algebra. I feel bad for real teen moms.

At 11 PM, after I finished my homework, and took a shower, I laid in my bed thinking about why Cody had acted so weird earlier. Was it something I said or did? I have no idea. My thoughts are interrupted when my phone buzzed.

Chris: I didn't see you at all today :(

Me: I missed you too :P

Chris: Of course, I'm your BFF!

Me: Whateves, I'm tired. TTYL loser.

Chris: ILY2

Chris has been my best guy friend since 4th grade. He's been there for me ever since he saw me getting teased by a group of girls.

«FLASHBACK»

"Hi! Do you guys wanna play tag?" 9 year old me said.

"No way! You're short and ugly!" Said one girl.

"Your legs are so short, that when you run, it's like me walking!" Said another.

Then Chris came over sand said "Well you guys are so rude and mean that your own parents probably don't even love you."

And that's when I knew Chris Grier would be my best guy friend.

«FLASHBACK TO PRESENT»

I let those thoughts slide out of my head and thought about Cody again. I thought about how cute his smile is, how sharp his jawline is, and how sexy his hair is. And suddenly I realized.

I was starting to fall for Cody Dallas already.

A/N: Hey again guys! I think I might post every other day depending on how busy I am. But like I said before, comment and give me suggestions! Also, tell me about yourselves in the comments. I wanna get to know you guys :D
