I live in the big city.
The big, big city.
In a tiny apartment in one of the many buildings where I live, and went to a crap highschool with my two sisters.
And today was no different from any other day. I would wake up, shower and brush my teeth, then I would get dressed and head down stairs to make myself breakfast. Then I would walk to school, not bothering to wake up my lazy sisters, because they took the bus later.
I would go get Aiden, and continue to walk with him until we reached the school.
Lincoln Miller high.
The only school for a city with 100,000 acres of land.
I'm exagerating of course but it is a very crowed school.
Oh, I guess I should tell you a bit about me too. I'm Colt, a 16 year old guy who is a braniac. I also mentioned my friend earlier, Aiden. He's tall, has moddy self obsession, and plays the guitar, so naturally he's a lady's man.
yeah, we're nerds too.
As we approach the school gates, I see the bus pull up front.
And you can guess who was the first ones off.
"Hi Colty!"
"When'd you leave?"
Small, adorable voices greeted me with vicious comments.
I sighed as my sisters came to harass me, and faced palmed as Aiden laughed at me.
"Hey Sallie, Briana." I say, looking at both of them.
"I left around 6, while you guys were snoring." I say smiling, but I'm only greeted by a punch in both of my shoulders.
"Come on, let's just get to class." I say, gesturing everyone up the stairs.

It was lunch, and again, it was still just a normal day, I would go through the cafeteria and get my lunch, then sit where I usually did.
I was shortly joined by Aiden, and Alison, followed by Sallie and Briana.
I took a look around, observing the pandemonium of the cafeteria.
"Hey where's Jess?" I ask.
Aiden stares at me. "No, 'hey guys' no 'how are you guys' just straight to where's the cute girl?" He replies, as I just roll my eyes, "you can't go on about that forever you know, its not 5th grade anymore." I said.
I just stared at him while he cracked up.
Unfortunately, Alison was chiming in, "What are you guys talking about?" She asked.
"Colt's got a thing for- ow!" Aiden started to say, but before he could finish I kicked his shin.
"Were just talking about the ridiculous crush he's had on you since the 5th grade." I blurted. Aiden immediately flicked his gaze to me, as (what seemed like) the whole world seemed to slow down.
"I-is that true?" Alison asked, wide eyed, and put on spot by the whole table.
"Y-yes, but Colt likes likes jess!" He snipped. Well, I couldn't really have stopped that from coming, he had a right.
Now the whole was focused on me, or at least I thought until...
"What?" a voice came from behind me. Chills ran up my spine and I flipped around to see (guess who...)
"Jess! Hi-hey! U-um..." I panic and studer out. This was definitely out now, and was probably going to add on to another one of my problems in life.
Aiden leaned in, "If you think I'm cutting you slack right now bro, you ratted me out so I'm doing the same." He whispered in my ear, then laughed.
I was stuck, hopeless stuck in a very tight place.
I'm screwed...
