*Rebecca*
I set my notes and textbook down on my bed and ran a hand through my hair. I looked around my somewhat messy room and sighed. I had been studying for hours, ever since I got home at three. Finals were next week, and I had to figure out this algebra. I had my glasses on and an oversized sweater with leggings on too. I looked up and out of my window when I heard a muffled shout. It turned out to be my neighbor, Shawn. We've known each other our whole lives and he's my best friend. He held up his notebook that we use to talk to each other through the window. It said "studying?". I held up mine after writing "finals" on it. He gave me a sympathetic smile and waved before closing his drapes, but the light was still on. I saw him writing something on his notebook, then throwing it across the room. The light turned off after that. I heard shuffing outside my room and looked back to my door to see my mom.
"Are you still studying? It's 10:00."
I nodded my head, pulling my hair up into a messy bun.
"Yeah, finals are next week, and in all my classes. I need to get good grades on them before the school year ends."
She sighed and shook her head at me, reaching in my room to grab the door knob.
"Well, you had better get some sleep if you want to even be awake to take your finals. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Mom."
I reluctantly dropped my books and notes on my desk and climbed under the warm covers of my bed. As I did, I thought ironically of seeing Shawn tomorrow. What was that about?
*Shawn*
I waved and shut my curtains after talking with Rebecca. I eyed my notebook, laying on my bed. I bent down over it, hesitantly writing on it. I wrote "I love you". I ripped the page out of my notebook and crumpled it up, throwing it across my room. I turned my light off and threw myself onto my bed. As I was falling asleep, I thought if I would see Rebecca tomorrow. I hoped I would.
So, this is my first chapter! I hope you like it! I'll try to update soon!
