Ever feel like you're all alone? Even though you obviously aren't..? Well, my name is Leigh Vernon, and this is my story. As I pulled up in front of Giles County High in my totally freakin awesome F-150, almost everyone gave me a smile.. Some even wailed out my name so loud, I swear the Queen of England could hear' em.. And the boys, god , with their southern drawl, you melted right on the spot. You see, at my school I'm the IT girl.. And before you start to think I'm some bitchy slut, I have actually never been kissed.. And no, I am not ugly, I'm just 'hard to get' , or so they say..

In Pulaski, Tennessee, ( I'm almost positive it is the smallest town ever ) I am the southern belle.. I play 5 sports, volleyball, field hockey, basketball, softball, and swimming.. I have long dirty blonde hair, and bright green eyes.. I weigh about 120 , 5.8 .. And I am a junior in high school .. I live with my Mom, Dad, and 19 year old sister, Chelsey ( who is going to the local university ) and my dog Chance.. And my life basically revolves around sports, grades, animals, and writing. My parents are the coolest parents ever.. They both work in education, and we are a sports lovin' family. Well in this town, you have to love sports.. Or at least football.. And in these halls, as my cow girl boot clad, jean short, Nirvana attic styled tank, self, walked to my locker, is where it all started.

Chapter 1

As soon as I got my schedule, I quickly turned around, only to be knocked into by some 6.3 soccer player. I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for the impact that never came..Instead, I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.. I shifted my body in his arms to come face to face with an extremely cute, but extremely unfamiliar face. His bright gray eyes stared into mine.. " Are you okay? " I heard mystery guy say.. " UH.. Y- Yeah.. I .. I'm fine.. " " Alright.. My name is Carter.. You? " Ah, mystery guy is Carter.. hmm...I quickly shook my thoughts away and said " Are you new here? Because if you aren't, I can't believe I never paid attention to YOU.. " Smooth Leigh.. Real smooth.. " Uhm, just forget I ever said that.. " RRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG.. The horrid 1st period bell alarmed.. " Aright.. See ya around Carter" "WAIT! I never got your name!" Carter yelled. "Guess you'll just have to figure it out!" I smirked back as I walked to Mr. Edwards class.

When I walked in, all eyes darted to me.. "LEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH" Ashlynn Price wailed.. To put it nicely, Ashlynn is kind of a slut...Her group of Jimmy Choo lovin' barbies and skirt's so short they could be confused for belts, mad e their way over.. " OHMYGOD> I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!" She screamed and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.. " Uh, yeah, I missed you to.." I said.. "CLASS.. CLASS SETTLE DOWN!" I did a 360 and rushed to my seat next to no one.. " Alrigh-" Mr. Edwards was interrupted by the door slamming open to reveal the one and only Carter... " AH, Mr.Farwell, how nice of you to join us" " Sorry, I got lost" "It's okay, why don't you take a seat next to Leigh?" Oh shit. "Leigh, raise your hand please?" I lazily raised my hand, and as Carters eyes met mine, he smirked, and waltzed his way over.. I looked around to see every girl sighing, and giving me glares.. Oh the joy.. " Hello, Leigh", Carter said, amused.. "Oh shutup, you know my name now. Happy?" " Never been more happy" I felt my cheeks heat up and quickly covered my face with my hair.. He just smirked, and turned his attention to the front.

During the whole class, I was fully aware of Cater's elbow and thigh touching mine.. Hehe.. Longest hour of my life.. When the bell finally rang, I rushed out of class. And the rest of my classes that Carter just so happened to be in.. It was now the end of the day, and I was walking to my truck when I felt a warm hand grasp my waist and pull me back to a hard chest.. I jumped and spun around to see Austin Hayworth.. The asshole quarterback who can't take no for an answer.. " Uh. hey Austin" " Hey, baby" " Ugh., Austin. I am not, and never will be your baby. Kay?" He just slammed me up against my truck and started kissing down my neck.. " How' bout now?", he said in between kissing down my jaw. ." STOP! " I felt his arms grope my ass.. " Austin, stop now!" "nahh I'm go-" But before he could finish, he was ripped away and shoved to the ground. " STAY AWAY FROM HER" Carter yelled.."DON"T EVER TOUCH HER AGAIN YOU SICK BASTARD" "Carter! Carter, look at me!" He turned and wrapped me in a hug, " Are you ok? Oh my god. Im so sorry. " "Hey, Carter, I'm okay! " " Are you sure?" He said while picking me up and placing me in the bed of my truck.. I grabbed his face and made him look in my eyes.. " Carter, I'm fine, but why do you care so much? " " I just.. I just do " I giggled and kissed his cheek.. " Thankyou", I said while smiling.. I then realized that his hands were sitting on my thighs, and he was standing in between my legs.. Akaa-Akaward. " Well, I gotta go to uh, soccer.. See you tomorrow?" "Of course" I smiled.. He gently picked me up, and placed me on the pavement.. Before I knew what I was doing, I stood on my tipy toes and wrapped my arms around his neck.. His arms squezzed around my waste and rested his chin on my head..I lifted my head, and he kissed my cheek. " Goodbye Leigh" he said.. " Bye Carter", I said in a daze.. He turned and grabbed his bag, and waltzed over to the boys locker room.. "Wowza" I said to no one.. What a day...
