Where it All Began

The Beginning

Wesley Aaron Jones was starting his first day of 7th grade at the middle school in a small town of Indiana. He thought that his year would be absolutely miserable since his best friend moved away and the other middle school was coming together with his middle school, so there was going to be a lot of new people that he didn't know. What Wes didn't know was that he was going to meet his new best friend that very first day of school. The first day of school is always rough. For Wes it actually wasn't that bad. He went to all of his morning classes and then went to lunch. What changed his life though, was a girl that sat right next to him in 4th hour science. He couldn't believe how much he had in common with this girl. When the class was over, he went to talk to her. He introduced himself as Wes Jones, and that he went to Southside assuming that she probably went to Northside before they both came to 7th grade.

A few months have passed since that first day of school. For Wes and Maddie, they had become best friends. The only problem for Maddie was that it was May, which meant that school was coming to a close, but also meant that the school dance was coming up. Over the last 7 months of knowing her best friend Wes, she had grown feelings for the boy. All of her other friends knew it was bound to happen eventually, the whole first part of the year she was in denial because she didn't think it was possible; Wes was her best friend and nothing more. When she finally realized that she did in fact, have a crush on her best friend. She wanted to go to the school dance with Wes, and maybe even become the couple that she had always thought of.

It was finally time for the dance. Wes still hadn't asked me to the dance. My other best friend, Abby told me that he liked me too, he was just waiting for the right time to ask me to the dance. The way I see it, he should've done it a long time ago. Anyway, I just hoped he would do it before next Friday, which was the day before the dance. Me and Abby were sitting at lunch talking since neither of us were really hungry, when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see Wes, which was weird because he is usually sitting right next to me at lunch. I turn around and smile at the thought of seeing him since I haven't really talked to him very much today. He had one hand behind his back and started to talk, "Maddie, will you do me the honour of going to the dance with me on Saturday?" I look at him and smile "Yes! That sounds great!" He smiled back at me and pulled a rose out from behind his back "I'm so glad you think so." He then took his normal spot beside me at the table.
