Chapter 1: You Have A Date Tonight?

Carter
I wake up to the sound of my alarm and groan. How can something be so helpful, yet annoying at the same time?
I get up and look through my closet for an outfit to wear to school. Lindy is coming to pick me up. She said her brother might be here too.

I'm kind of excited. I haven't seen him since the ball. And even though, Lindy specifically told me to stay away from him, I would love to see him again.

Because that kiss was perfect. There's no way to describe it. It was simply great.

I didn't realize I was sitting on my bed staring at nothing until my aunt walks in and starts talking to me. I don't know what she's saying. She keeps talking and I have no idea what she's talking about.

I look up at her and she smiles. "You have no idea what I just said, do you?"

Sheepishly, I shake my head. "Sorry."

She waves it off. "I was saying that I won't be back from work until eight tonight. So I want you to watch Kevin."

I groan. "He's thirteen, Aunt Hellen. He can watch himself."

But she just glares at me. "I want you to watch him. And if you're not here by the time I get back, you won't like the consequences."

Now it's my turn to smirk. "You have yet to think of the consequences, don't you?"

She sighs. "Well, Carter, you don't have a car so I can't take that from you. You hardly use your phone and laptop. And you ever do is go outside. I can't ground you from nature."

I stand up and kiss her cheek. "Don't worry. I'll watch him after school today."

She smiles. "Good girl. Now go get ready for school. You can't be late on your second first week of school."

*~*~*~*~*

I wait on my front porch for Lindy and her brother to show up. I have a few texts on my phone from my friends back in Tampa.

My older brother, Mason, sent me a picture of him and his girlfriend. They are currently in France right now. Mason wanted to travel the world before going to college. He's been saving forever. And his girlfriend, his super rich girlfriend, decided that she wanted to tag along.

I was sending back a reply when Lindy and Jonah pull into my driveway.

"Hey," Lindy says happily.

I give a small wave. "Hi, Lindy."

I get up and walk to the backseat of the car. "Thanks for the ride," I tell them.

Lindy waves it off. "It's no biggie. Jonah has soccer practice after school, though. So we may have to get a different ride."

I nod. "That's fine."

Jonah smiles at me from the rearview mirror and I smile back. I really wish things could work out. But Lindy's my only friend here. I don't know anybody else. I don't want to risk losing my friend because I went behind her back and dated her brother.

We arrive at the school in fifteen minutes Lindy gets out of the car and starts searching for Liam, leaving me with Jonah.

"How was the rest of your weekend?" he asks me.
