Elise Hobbes has a very poor family and the way she gets money is by stealing. Until she decided to steal from the richest guy in her town who caught her. But he has an offer that says he's not allowed to tattle her to the cops. Will she take it or...
It was now the week before Christmas and I was getting fucking excited. I never get anything from my dad obviously. But I do get stuff from Isaac, Jack, Stacy, Mike, and Gabby so.....
And Christmas is my favorite holiday. Is I had a Christmas without snow I think I'd (oof) myself.
I wake up early at 5 am for a good day. I take a shower, shave my legs, do my skincare, braid my hair, and do my makeup. After finishing all that I walk down to a little cafe thing that's really good in my opinion. I walk in a small cafe thing and say hi to my favorite worker, Jackson. He's about 2 years older and has known me since I was 6. "Hey Jackson." He smiles. "Hey Hobbes." I laugh. "How early did you start?" I ask. "Uh around 15 minutes ago. Sorry but today I can only talk to you for like 5 minutes." I totally understand and agree since I was only gonna be there for a little too.
I talked with him for some time and luther when the door rang. We didn't pay much attention and kept talking since there were other workers to greet them. Then I heard someone say my name. "Elise?" I look over to see Josh. "Oh hey Josh!" I say as I take him by the hand and lead him to our table. "Josh meet Jackson, Jackson meet Josh." They shook hands and Josh sat next to me. After Jackson left to get us some waters I look at Josh who has an almost upset look on his face. "You good?" I ask. He looks at me. "Mmm? Oh yeah just tired." I nod in agreement. "And what are you doing here so early?" I state. "I could ask you the same thing." I laughed. "I'm here because it makes me feel refreshed." He nods. "Same."
We sat there for a little and when Jackson came back he well, his expression hardened. Every time Jackson was there. One time I to a joke and Jackson laughed so hard that he grabbed my shoulder for support. At that moment Josh tensed up. After Jackson let go of me, Josh wrapped his arm around me waist and pulled me closer to him. The fuck. We were now shoulder to shoulder and Jackson got up again. I turn to Josh. "What was that?" "What was what?" I roll my eyes and put my hand on his waist to pull him in. "That." He smirks. "Oh nothing." I stare at him while smiling. "I think your jealous pretty boy." I turn my face away from him but I can see his face go into shock. "What." I don't answer. "Pretty..." He lifts my chin to look at him gently. And I do. I look at him from eyes to eye because I couldn't pick between his two gorgeous eyes. ".....what?" He finishes his sentence. I pull away. It was awkward for a few moments. "How's Peyton." I ask suddenly with a voice crack. He smirks. "You know good and bitchy." I nod. "Sounds about right. Anywho it's almost time for school so let's go." I got up, thanked Jackson and left. "Hey do you uh need a ride?" Josh asks me outside. "Um yeah." He smiles. "Well get in."
He drives us to school and we get there about 5 minutes early. We test the doors but they are still locked which is weird. So I decided to stay with Josh and talk for a little. Until I heard a bitch voice. "What're you doing here?" We turn around to see Peyton in a mini skirt and pink headband. God why is everyone getting to school early today! "Waiting for school to open." I say. Duh. "Why are you here with him." She gestures to Josh. I look at her funny. "Because he's my boyfriend." She rolls her eyes and chews her gum so fast she could join a competition.
After five minutes the doors opened and we rushed inside. Me and Josh raced to far to the class to see who's faster. I won obviously. We laughed and I leaned against the wall next to him. He glanced at me then put a hand on my waist and another above me.

I just look at him and go red. He smiles and goes closer so it's a singular hair length between our lips. I look down and back up at him. He smiles. Finally we heard the scoff we wanted. The scoff from Peyton. Then he keeps his hand on my waist and pulls me closer to him as we walk to our seats. When we sit down I realize that Peyton wanted to sit next to Josh today. "Hey Joshy." I almost gag out the cringe. I stare at him before sitting down. He puts a hand on my thigh and I shiver. Why do I like this. He wants Peyton. He wants Peyton. He wants Peyton. I say those words to remind me.
After class we head to lunch. As we were eating some boy stood up onto the tables and screamed. "Party at my house tonight!" Cheers arupted from the tables and I roll my eyes. "We have to go." Josh tells me. "Hell no I don't do parties." He jumps. "Please." "No. "Please." "Please." "Pretty Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeee." Finally I give in. "Fine!" He smiles and hugs me. "Remember to dress hot." Then he kisses me on the cheek before leaving. I'm going to a fucking party.
