Jon P.O.V.

So yesterday had a rough start, but my first day of being normal-ish wasn't too bad. I made some new friends, and a possible girlfriend. I'm talking about Elle not jella. Jella is sort of self consumed and I'm not about that life. Actually, last night, I asked Elle out to go to the park later. I might even be a gentleman and treat her to sushi. Though I don't know if she eats sushi, and if she does she might be grossed out because I eat calamari, raw not fried. But I can handle those issues later it's time to get ready for school. I get out of bed and head straight for the shower, and then brush my teeth. Then I put on a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt with Benedict cumberbatch's face on it (I LUV Sherlock). I rush down stairs and see a freshly made breakfast consisting of pancakes, bacon, heavenly looking cheese grits, and my dad with a smile on his face. "What's this about? You deciding to be a dad all of a sudden, I don't think so." I grabbed an apple and left the house and walked to school.

I arrive, and I see Elle waiting outside. "Looking for someone," I asked. "Oh no, just standing outside looking out for no reason. I was wondering if I could ask you a question?" she replied. I nodded yes. "When you asked me to the park yesterday, did you mean as a date, or as a friendly outing?" "Oh. I was hoping it could be a date, but if your not comfortable....." I said in return. "Its completely fine! I mean, I'm cool with a date,"Elle said. Things were getting kinda awkward, so I said," What's your first class today?" She told me it was science, and I had drama, so we parted ways.

Jella's P.O.V.

The school year is starting to look up. I'm just sitting in drama, updating my snapshot story, and my future boy toy, Jon walks in. I make a motion for him to come over and sit next to me, but he must not have noticed, because he sat next to my lame twin jack. I mean, what other reason is there not to sit next to me, I'm kind of the baddest bitch in the game that is this school, so, i'll just have to make sure he doesn't miss me next time. The drama teacher, Mr Joseph, just walked in so I put my phone away, for now.  He announces that we will be beginning work on our musical, the Addams family musical. And now, it's time for auditions. Of course, I'm auditioning for the main lead, Wednesday Addams. I wow away the crowd with a beautiful rendition of poor unfortunate souls. Then it's Jon's turn. His voice is so beautiful, I feel like I'm at a fall out boys concert. He sings

for us Ironic by alanis morissette (I didn't know he was into that kind of music, kinda cool) and of course, everyone loved it. After the singing part of the auditions are over, it's time for acting! My specialty. We're each given different monologues to cold read. I'm unfortunately given Macbeth's final speech, but I make it work. I found out Jon is a spectacular actor. When Mr Joseph gives him the lines from the murder scene from ghost the musical, and then Jon just performs like there is no tomorrow, the only thing going through my mind is that he'll definitely get the lead. Hopefully I do too!!

Elle's P.O.V.

So now it's after school and Jon and I are walking to the park. He's telling me about his auditions today, and how he's worried about not getting a good part. I tell him the no small parts, only small actors line, and then I look him in the eyes and tell him he has more talent than anyone in the program. We just walk around the park for awhile, and when I start to get tired, Jon offers to treat me to sushi. I've never had it before, but I'm willing to try. We get to the restaurant, and Jon orders calamari, raw(ewww), and I get crunchy rolls. When the food comes I have six pieces of sushi, so I decide to experiment. I put wasabi on one, soy sauce on one, spicy mayo on one, ponzu sauce on one, gochuchang on one, and I leave the last one with nothing on it. Jon looks at me with interest and confusion. So I take some of his calamari and do the same I did to my sushi. After I'm finished I cut all the sushi in half so we can split. About twenty minutes later we have knowledge of what we like and don't, and a table full of spit out sushi. We pay for the food (and the mess) and head back out to the park. We buy bread to feed the ducks, one even let me pet him. But then a bigger duck (I'm guessing the partner) chased me away. We just walk and walk until we're at my house. He walks me up to my door and then says, "I had a lot of fun tonight, and I hope we hang out more. Or maybe another date." He says the word date with a little emphasis. I reply with, " That would be awesome! I mean, cool with me... you should come over for dinner tomorrow, can't miss weird Wednesdays at the Merridand house." He says he'll come over, and I guess I start to black out, because I reach up to kiss him. But he tilts his head down to see and hold my hand, and I end up kissing him on the bridge of his nose. He looks up, and start laughing. Then he kisses me back on the nose and leaves while saying see you tomorrow. My face is red with embarrassment, and I run inside. I immediately tell my friends everything that happened, and start dreaming of the wonderful (and horrible) things that could happen tomorrow.
