Tatum's P.O.V
As soon as school ended I hurried to get out, my friend Parker wasn't here today because he wasn't feeling well this morning. I want to stop at his house and tell him how school was before I went home. I was just a few blocks away from his house when I got shoved to the ground. All my stuff fell.
"Where is Parker? Huh Tatum?" Said one boy.
"Yeah! He isn't here for you now, is he?" Said the other.
They started kicking me and throwing punches. Then I heard fast foot steps and more kicks and punches, but I wasn't getting hurt. I tried to stand to run but my body felt so heavy and sore. Then someone helped me up.
"Parker?" I croaked.
"Yeah its me Tate," he said, "Let's get you home."

That was six years ago. Me and Parker have been friends since we were baby's, because our Moms are Bff's. We have had all our classes together and we still do. Now it is the first day of tenth grade. I got out of my bed and started getting ready. I take night showers not morning. I put on a pair of white shorts, a midnight blue crop top, and a pair of galaxy Vans. I do my make up quick. (Mascara and liquid eyeliner with a wing) I run downstairs, grab a banana, kiss my Mom goodbye, grab my book bag, and head over to Parker's.

Parker's P.O.V
I quickly got up to get ready for the first day if tenth grade. I slipped on a pair of black skinny jeans and put on my all black Chuck Taylors. I grabbed a white short sleeve V-neak. All of a sudden my door opened.
"Hey Tatum!" I said slipping in my shirt and spraying my axe calonge.
"What's up?" She said laying on my bed swiping her phone out.
"Oh. You know, breathing, getting ready for school." I said quickly brushing and putting a little gel in my hair.
"Cool beans... Are you ready yet. We have to beat morning traffic?"
"Done." I said grabbing my bag and slipping my phone in my pocket.
We walked downstairs. I grabbed a granola bar and slipped out the door. We jumped in my black Mustang and headed to school.

Tatum's P.O.V
We got out of his car and as always the girls are glareing at me and stareing with hopeful eyes at Parker. I could see why. He filled out nice and I am decent to. We hurried to our lockers and put our books in our book bags. Then walked to our first lesson,Maths. It went along fast and so did our next 4 hours. Then we had lunch. We sat at our same table that we sat at last year. Then the rest of our clique got here. Our #squad had 8 people. Parker, Me, Skye, Seqouia Angel, Travis, Colton, and Sean. In about the middle of lunch Parker was on his 3rd piece of pizza. Which he stole from me, so I hit him. Seqouia looked at me, at Parker, then at me again raising her eyebrows. I shook my head no.
"I don't understand girl sign language. So would you please translate that to English?" Said Parker with the other boys nodding.
"NOTHING!"Seqouia and I said at the same time.
And Skye being the big mouth she is blurted it all out,"Seqouia asked if you and Tatum are together. Tatum said no. But the whole group believes that you guys should be together."
"Damn Skye why don't you just say that me and Colton should be fucking to." Seqouia blurted with so much fucking sarcasm.
"Of course not, if anyone you would be fucking Sean." Skye smirked. Seqouia blushed we all knew that she liked Sean. It wouldn't be that bad though. Me and Parker could make a good couple. Puberty did him nice and he is kind of cu- WAIT. What am I even saying! He is like my bro! I can't like him! I just sat silently for the rest of lunch. The rest of the day went just as fast as the morning. Before I knew it I was in Parker's car.
"Hey do you want to come around to mine to do homework?" He asked.
"Yeah! As long as you have some food." He laughed. He has an a fluid, warm laugh. That you could listen to over and over again. I giggled to. Once he is laughing or smiling you do to. His happiness is just so contageous. We walked into the house and grabbed some snacks. We headed upstairs to eat and do some homework.
After homework we just chilled on his bed listening to Nickleback.
"I was thinking, it wouldn't be so bad. Me and you dateing?"
I blushed furiously and ran to the bathroom. I just had to think. He was right it wouldn't be so bad.
All of a sudden the bathroom door opened and there stood Parker. He walked up to me and clasped his hands with mine. I looked up at him since he is a full head taller than me.
"Tatum...to be honest I really like you. You understand me and you make me laugh. I instantly smile when you come around. I love the way your eyes sparkle when the sun hits them. I love that little pout and the way your eyes turn from blue to a sea green when you are mad. So what I am trying to say is that. Will you be my girlfriend?"
I couldn't think straight.
