Always and Forever

Bobby

•NARRATOR•
Jenna and Matthew have been best friends since they were two. All through elementary school, all through middle school. Now they are in ninth grade which starts there high school years. Will dates get in the way of there friendship?

•JENNAS POV•

Today, Matt and I are starting high school. Yay! (Note the sarcasm) Today, the other middle school in town, Northwood joins with ours. I'm not excited about this. Girls from Northwood are richer, prettier and just overall better. I'm worried about Matt because I'm not gonna lie, Matt is good looking. He's... hot. And I don't want some rich snobby slut to get in the way of us... as best friends. I don't like him in that way. I like Matt as my best friend. Actually I love Matt as a brother. He's always been right there when ever I needed him. I just don't want that to be ruined.

The day started off like any other school day. I get up at 6:00 to take a shower. I pick out a white cami with a pink, orange and yellow patterned kimono and white distresses Capri jeans. At around 6:10 I do my hair and makeup and blah blah blah.

I came down my stairs to hear Matt in the kitchen. He was here for our traditional first day of school breakfast of pancakes and bacon. We ate breakfast and we talked about our classes. He was going to tryout for the football team again and I was trying out for the gymnastics team and maybe volleyball.

It was time for us to get on the bus so we said goodbye to my mom and dad and we set off. The bus stop was a little far up the block so we had more time to talk just me and him.
"I'm excited for this year. Northwood and Sherman all together in one school. Think about it. The girls, the sports man I'm SIKED!! What about you?"
He said.
"Yeah, I'm stoked! Woohoo!"
I said waving my hands in (sarcastic) excitement.
"Aw come on, how are you not excited? Think of all the "hot guys" from Northwood. You could hook up with a few. Most of 'em are probably football players so I could hook you up with a hot one. OHH and you're doing school gymnastics right? you think you could hook me up with a hot blonde chick? Oh that would be-"
"Matt!" I cut him off.
"What?"
"You're missing the point. All of the girls at Northwood are rich, snobby sluts. They play guys better than a kid can play his way out of doing chores. They come up to you all sweet so you like them and then they throw it in your face. Look, I don't want to get in your way of slutywood, but don't be surprised if you hear one of your football buddies banged your girlfriend last night."
I regretted those words once they came out of my mouth. Now he's gonna be mad at me. Why did I say that? I'm so stupid. Now he's never going to talk to me the whole school year. UGHHH!!!
"Hey, I don't think they're that bad."
He said as we boarded the bus.
Whew!! I don't think he's mad at me.

We sat next to each other and finished our conversation. I changed the subject to what heard from other people about the teachers. I told him about this one teacher, Mrs. Moore who I hear is a real witch. The only students she's nice to are the ones who's parents are teachers also.
"Looks like my parents are gonna have to do some lying if i get her!" Matt said.
Matt told me about this one teacher his older brother Dylan had. Her name was Mrs. Clifford and she was REALLY nice. Almost too nice. She always made jokes about her last name and on the last day of school, she puts on movies. I swear I feel like I'm going into kindergarten!!

After a long bus ride, we finally made it to the school. We received our schedules as we walked in the front doors. Matt and I stood in the hallway looking at our own schedules and each others. Turns out we have all but one class together and that's geometry.

We walked down the hallway to our first period class which was social studies.

**LATER THAT DAY**

*ring ring* "hey it's Matt, I can't get to the phone right now. Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!"
This is the fourth time I've called Matt and he hasn't picked up. We were supposed to meet up by the bus circle after tryouts but he never showed up. I figured he was just talking to some friends he made at tryouts so I waited a little longer. It's been an hour.

I figured he wasn't coming out anytime soon so I texted him and told him I was leaving. I started walking but I heard someone running up to me out of breath. I turned around. It was Matt. I am so lucky I have this kid as my best friend. He never lets me down.
"Hey sorry I got caught up with talking to the guys and the coach. Plus some of the gymnastics team girls came in. I thought you were with them so I thought none of it. I'm so sorry." I could tell he was sincere. I hugged him and told him it was okay. We started walking together in silence.

After a couple of minutes Matt finally broke the silence.
"Hey did you see that girl Bobby?"
He asked.
"Uh, yeah she's in our English and science class. And I met her at gymnastics tryouts. Why?"
I knew where this conversation was going. This has happened before when he had a "crush" on this girl Stacy in our 5th grade class. And also when he had a crush on all the other girls he "dated" in middle school.
"Oh cool. Is she nice?"
He asked. I wanted to answer truthfully but at the same time I didn't. Not exactly sure why but I didn't want him to like her.
"Uhm, she's okay I guess. She's not exactly what I would call nice but she's not as rude and obnoxious as the other girls from Northwood."
Truthfully it is. Which I didn't mind answering truthfully because the truth was she was a rude slut. I guess I didn't answer really truthfully but I know that if I said that, Matt would know I like him in the boyfriend way... Wait. Did I just say that? No I didn't. Did I?
"Okay good because she's hot."
I'm starting to hate this girl more and more every minute.
