Jeanette's POV

-Le next day (Wednesday)-

I seriously hate the fact that when I don't have to go to school, I still wake up at 7:00 am. And now that I'm up, I can't go back to fucking sleep! Wonder fucking ful.

I stayed in my room, watching anime, until I knew I was home alone. I then brushed my teeth and took a shower. Then I got dressed wearing white pants whit black flowers on it, a black shirt that says "swag" and black heels (The picture is the complete outfit)

I then went downstairs, into the kitchen and served myself a bowl of cereal. When I finished eating, I sat in my living room and just did no such thing. I then surprisingly got a phone call from a friend who I haven't heard from in a few years. Wesley .

"Hello?" I say
"Hey, Jeanette. I know you're probably in school, but when you get out, can we meet? I'm in town and I wanted to say hi. Can we meet at the cafe near your house?" Wesley says
"Oh. Um, I'm not in school actually. I got suspended."
Wesley laughs "Stop lying "
"I'm serious. I got in a fight so I got suspended for 3 days and the other girl got suspended for a week. Today is my second day"
"Oh! That's a bummer. Can we meet up now, then?"
"Sure! I'll be there in 10."
"Okay. Great! See ya there."

I then quickly went upstairs and put on a hint of makeup. I then grabbed my house key and left.

-Time skip-

When I entered the cafe, the smell of coffee cane to me. I then spotted Wesley, sitting at a table. I recognized his dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

"Hey Wes!" I say smiling
"Jeanette? Oh my god it's been so long. You're so beautiful." Wesley says hugging me
I chuckle "Thanks."
"You want anything? A coffee? I'll pay."
"Um. Coffee would be fine " I say
"Okay. I already know just what you like so I'll be right back." Wesley says

-a few minutes later-

"Here you go" Wesley says while handing me my coffee
"Thanks" I smile
"No problem. Now tell me. What's been going on?"
"Well." I breath "Nothing muchs been going on. I got contacts instead of glasses. More people talk to me, but most still think I'm nerdy. Um. I broke my nose. In the fight on Monday. And oh I was shot. I died and revived."
"Wait what? Oh my god I'm so glad you're alive. I wouldn't know what to do. Like you were my first buddy."
I chuckle "Yeah I know. So what's been going on in your life?"
Wesley sighed "Sinced I moved away to Jacksonville, my mother died, two years ago, my father now owns a company, so I'm rich. Not trying. To brag. I got accepted to Havard next year and I got my licence finally "
"Wow. What an interesting life." I say
"Yeah. But its not as fun as having you in it." Wes says

Was he flirting with me? I mean, I liked him in elementary school, but it's not like that anymore. I love Josh and I couldn't let him get his hopes up.

I chuckle awkwardly

"So. How's Alex?" Wesley says
"He's great. He's the same generous brother as always "
"Aw. I see how much you love your Brother."
I smile and sigh. "Yeah. He's just so sweet and kind and he's always been there for me. He makes me laugh when I'm sad. That's what I like about having a twin brother "
"That's so sweet. One of the reasons I loved to hang out with you was that you were nice to everyone. But we rude when you had to be." Wesley says
"Yeeahh" I say awkwardly.
"Well I've got to go. I don't wanna be late for my job interview."
"Job interview?" I say
"Yes. If I get the job, my father and I will be moving back to Homestead." He says
"That's great"
"Yeah" he chuckles "I should get going." He stops and turns around and walks toward me until he was really close to me.
"It was nice seeing you Jeanette " He says
"Y-you too" I say quickly smiling

Wesley then kisses me but I quickly pull away.

"No. No Wes. I can't " I say nodding my head "I have a boyfriend "
"Jeanette sorry I didn't kno-" Wesley says
"No. Its okay. It's my fault for not telling you"
Wes sighs "Well I hope we can still be friends?"
"Yeah! Definitely." I say smiling
Wes smiles and hugs me and takes off.

I take a deep breath at what just happened, and walked home.

-Time skip-

When I went home, I went straight to my bedroom and fell right asleep. I was still shocked about Wesley

-Time skip-

I heard muffled voices in the background. Ugghhh

"Should I wake her?" A female voice says
"I don't know. She looks peaceful" a male voice says.
"Eh I should wake her"

Then there was silence. Finally

"WAKE UP JEANETTE THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!" The female voice says
"HUH?! WHAT?!" I wake up noticing it was Catherine who woke me up. Josh and Kyle were here too.
"God. You guys literally stalk me." I say "What time is it?"
"2:00" We've been here at least 15 minutes now." Kyle says
"Yeah. But you look so cute sleeping. " Josh says
I chuckle "Oh you." I say and kiss Josh.
"Where were you today? You're not in your pajamas so you were awake at some point today." Catherine says
"Oh. Um I went to meet up an old friend of mine for coffee. Wesley." I say
"Wesley? The kid we used to hang out with in elementary and middle school?" Catherine says
"That's the one" I say
"What's he doing back here?"
"Apparently, applying for a job. If he gets it, he's moving back to Homestead "
"Oh gosh."
"Oh and he's rich now. His dad owns a company"
"Wow"
"Yup"
"Well this Wesley dude better nt hit on my babygirl. There will be problems" Josh says

I then remembered the kiss at the cafe

"Well, Wes was Jeanette's first crush. So better watch your back Josh" Catherine says
"CATHERINE!" I yell "I WOULD NEVER!"
Catherine laughs "I know you wouldn't. Relax. I'm just kidding"
"Better be" I say

Then there was silence.

"Why the fuck is it so cold in this house?" I say
"Aw you're cold" Josh says coming towards me and hugging me.
"And you're warm. Yay" I say
"I don't know. I'll turn up the a.c. a bit real quick I'll be right back.
"Okay"
"There done" Catherine says
"Thanks"

I then got a text message it read:

Becky: Meet me at the park in an hour. Come alone.

"Guys. Look what Becky just texted me" I say worried
"Don't worry. We'll go with you. And we'll stay out of sight if you want" Josh says
"I would like that very much." I say
"Good. Because you don't know what crazy shit Becky is up to next..." Catherine says
