Austin James. School player. Captain of North Valley High's football team. Why would every girl have a crush on him? Like I know, and like I care. I've never really bothered with him. He's tried talking to me, but he was mostly hitting on me. I'm probably the only girl in the school who doesn't like him. I can't stand guys who are like that. They just annoy me. Maybe I should just introduce myself.

I'm Ashlee Brooke Taylor.

Straight A student. I guess you can say I'm sort of a nerd.

16 years and currently in tenth grade.

If there's more you wanna know just ask.

I was on my way heading to Geometry when I ran into my best friend, Heather.

"Hey girl."

"Hey Heather. What's up?"

"You know the usual."

"Umm.. Going to class, hanging with your boyfriend, if that's what you mean?"

"You know me so well. So let me guess, Austin tried flirting with you again, am I right?"

"Right. Wait.. How'd you hear about it?"

"He does it everyday, Ashlee. And it goes around the school."

"I wish he would just stop. He knows I don't like him. He's just doing it to annoy me."

"I don't even know what girls see in him, anyways. He's a player. He'll pretend to like a girl, then end up breaking her heart the next day."

"Exactly. And you see why I don't like him. But anyways, I gotta get to geometry."

"Yea, you don't wanna be late for that unless you want Mr. Dixon yelling at you."

"Yea. Well, I guess I'll see ya later. Bye girl."

"See ya."

*AUSTIN'S POV*

I was hanging with Josh, Jake, and Alex when I saw Ashlee talking to her friend. Time to flirt again. I walked over to her and she turned around while I smiled.

"What do you want, Austin?"

"Only you, Ashlee."

"Not gonna happen."

"Oh come on. I'm Austin James! You know you want me."

"Shut up. You know I don't. Now go away."

"Why exactly don't you?"

"I could stand here all day and give you a million reasons why. But unfortunately, you just made me late to class, so it looks like I won't. Now bye."

And with that, she left. I just don't understand why she is basically the only girl in school who doesn't like me. Or maybe she secretly does and is just faking it. I can make this work. Austin James always gets he wants. And right now, he wants Ashlee Brooke Taylor.
