Jersey Boy | Mikey Marrero

Chapter 1

I lived in the smallest town in Texas I knew I would never get anywhere if I continued to live here. I started counting the years till I was off to college. In two weeks i started 8th grade. School came around & I was the dork chasing after guys. Most people knew who my heart belonged to some random Viner but that was never going to happen. My 'bestfriend' John had the same lunch as me, I had the hugest crush on him last year but he never bothered. John wasn't the cutest guy out there but I didn't want to be shallow since I wasn't what you call attractive. When I started to fall for John again I forced myself to talk to him but he was always around his new bestie Alison. Later that night I was on snapchat when Mikey posted on his story ''I'm moving guys.''I was scared he was going to move somewhere farther away from me. My relationship with John didn't get any better by now I was positive he & Alison were dating. I was sure I was going to high school with out having my first boyfriend. Great. Two days later, during my 2nd period I was taking a test with I see Mikey walk thru the door I was literally gonna die I couldn't believe Michael Marrero just walked in my second period. I started to turn red and the only seat available was the one right next to me! Mr. Lopez told Mikey to sit next to me and to try to catch up on what we were doing. I asked to go the the bathroom to catch my breath and think over what just happened. I didn't realize how long I was in the bathroom until Mr. Lopez sent someone to check up on me. Walking back to the class was hell with everybody staring at me & Mikey giggling I never felt so embarrassed. I really wanted to get Mikey's attention but not this way I had screwed up my chance with him in the first 15 minutes. I ended up walking Mikey to his afternoon classes and gave him a tour around the school. After dropping him off at his 3rd period I came up with the idea to pretend I didn't know anything about him. Later on I was at my locker when John out of nowhere came up and gave me the tightest hugs I have ever gotten, I had totally forgotten about him. I knew Mikey would never 'be mine' with John in the way. John eventually left just in time. Mikey started walking towards me.
''Hey! I wanted to ask if it was okay if I ate lunch with you, if your not too busy.'' He blushed as he spoke.
''I'd love to have lunch with you.'' I smiled. We sat outside on a bench and ate sandwiches from the snack bar. He told me about him being vine famous and how he moved to a total ghost town just to start out fresh. I know I was being way too forward but I kept staring at his lips hoping for a kiss. It never happened. Two weeks passed and Mikey and I formed this bond with each other. Mikey took the bus home after school so I was with some other girl friends. John walked up to me and told me he was sorry for everything and asked if I wanted to go to the movies with him. I started arguing with him
''Why now? After everything is going soo great you come in and your going to ruin everything!''
''I said I was sorry, Lauren!''
''No John I'm not going so you can get your sorry ass out of here and leave!''
He swooped in and kissed me. I slapped him across the face
''You stole my kiss John that was supposed to be special not with a total loser!''
Mikey came running and pushed John to the floor. They started fighting. The fight went on until the school officers came & took them both. My mom was already waiting for me so I had to leave.
