AVERY

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

The day I came face to face with Hunter Evans, I knew he was going to be mine.

Every freshman at Jacksonville High school was drooling over Hunter Evans, as was I.

I'm not going to lie, he is a very attractive boy. Boy, not a man.

I looked through my window to see if Jayden was already getting ready for school.

Of course, he was still in bed.

I called him while staring at him through the window.

"Wake up. You're my ride to school, I can't be late."

"Okay, okay. I'm getting up."

He wasn't getting up.

"5, 4, 3, 2-"

"Dude chill, I'm out of bed!" truth be told, he was up.

"Okay, hurry, we need to leave at 7:45."

"Do you want me to take you? I don't have to."

Well uh, yeah, you do, but okay.

It was our first day of freshman year, and I was scared.

"I'm nervous."

"Why?" Jayden asks.

"I mean, I don't know. It's just scary. I know we know everyone from middle school, but I feel like everyone is changing."

"You mean everyone is becoming pubescent?"

"Jayden, ew. Well, you're right. But also, I mean everyone is going to start forming actual relationships, and partying, and we have school dances. It's weird."

"But it's just high school. It's chill. Don't worry about it too much. And, plus, you don't have to worry about grades because you are the smartest person on the planet."

Wow, Jayden is being nice?

"Aww, thanks... I'm gonna go get ready, I'll text you when I'm outside."

"Alright."

I walk over to my dresser and ponder over what to wear.

Jeans?

Leggings?

Shorts?

I want to look cute, but all of my jeans are so uncomfortable.

Well, beauty is pain.

I open my jeans drawer and grab my wide-leg jeans from American Eagle.

I then open up my drawer that has tops in it.

Hmm... which one?

I put on a green crop top and take a picture in my mirror.

I then send it to Natalia.

I put on a white spaghetti strap too and take a picture of that as well.

Then I send it to Natalia.

Today 7:19 am

Avery: Which one?

Natalia: I like the white one, it makes ur boobs look big
