Through Jenna's Eyes

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

---

"Jenna, get up!" I hear my annoying

brother, Tucker, yell from the hallway. "Damnit." I roll over and bury my head into the pillow. Today was the day I started at a new school. I think the name is Taylor High? I'm quite nervous, though. Nobody cared for me that much at my old school...

After a few minutes of thinking, I

slumped out of bed and made my way

to the bathroom. I combed out my

brown wavy hair and fixed it to fall on

my shoulders the way it always does. I

brushed my teeth, put on my favorite

perfume, and got dressed quickly. I

grabbed my bag from the closest and

sighed, then walked downstairs.

"Goodmorning, sweetheart" my dad

said as he pulled out fresh cinnamon

rolls from the oven. "Hi, dad." I said

back, forcing a smile. Tucker waves

me towards the door and I take a

cinnamon roll and kiss my dad. "Make

some new friends, Jenna, and be

nice."

Tucker and I walk to out 1969

Jeep and roll our windows down. We

blast Ed Sheeran's song "Give Me

Love" and start singing along. We pulled up onto the blacktop pathway to the hellhole called school. Kids were scrambling around outside the building. I could see the different stereotypes that Taylor High had. They were the same at every school. Tucker parked and we got out of the car. "Whatcha going to first, Jen?" Tucker asked. "Um, English." I say. "Sweet, we aren't in the same home room. I have math. Byeeeeee." Tucker teases. "Bye Tucker." I said quietly. I walk up to school and my mind fills with possibilities that could come with a new school year.

I walk into school and my heart stops as I see him: a tall boy, dazzling blue eyes, and brown hair that sits perfectly on his head. He starts walking into the room next to me with Tucker. My heart says wave, but my mind says no. I don't, and walk into homeroom as the bell rings. I sit down in the only open seat left and watch a short, chubby woman walk into the room. "Hello class," she says, "My name is Ms. Polluck. I hope you are ready to have an amazing time learning English this year because-" She continued talking but my mind trailed off. What was his name? Was he my age? Or Tucker's? Honestly, I've never had this feeling before. My mind was flipping shit, I tell you. My stomach wouldn't stop fluttering. Was I falling for someone who's name I don't even know? No, I can't be. But then again, we would make a cute couple. "Miss Fraus?" Reality smacked me right in the face. "Here." I say. "I'm finished taking roll, dear." The class snickers and my face turns beat red. "I'll let it slide this time, but from now on, pay attention." she says. I nod and slide down in my desk. It's first period on the first day of school, and I've already made a fool of myself. "You're lucky you have the looks, babe." someone whispers behind me. I turn around and about 4 guys are winking at me. This, is going to be a long year.

Lunch period finally comes around and so many guys have already asked for my number. I just want to leave this place. Thankfully, Tucker and I have the same lunch period. I see him and he waves to me, and someone comes up next to him. I literally die. It's him! The gorgeous guy I saw earlier today. I walk up to them and smile, but stay silent. "Jenna, meet Jace. You have my permission to date him." Jace. That name was amazing. I tell myself not to get my hopes up, because he would never like me. He blushes and I laugh. "Hi Jace," I say, smiling. He stutters a "Hello," and I sit down next to him. And from that point in time, I knew that what I thought would be a terrible year would turn around. Because I met Jace Whitfield.
