Together Forever (Book 1: Taken Series) [BoyXBoy]

[Jordan]

I groaned into my pillow as my alarm went off. 7:35 am, the red numbers blinked accross the screen, as the sound of my wailing alarm startled me from my sleep. I opened my eyes and looked around my room. It was rather unotable. There was a poster of the band Tain on the wall, a small wodden desk i had inherited from my brother on one side, and a matching bookshelf on the other. In the corner stood a telescope that had been unused in years. As a kid, my dad and I would always gaze at the stars.  Of course, I had planned on waking up an hour ago, but felt the need to snooze, again and again, in hopes that today would just not come. I had been dreading this day all summer. Of course, I was not so lucky, and it was here. My first day of my senior year at Arvington High. 

I got up and walked into my bathroom. I looked in the mirror, laughing silently to myself at my disheveled appearance. My short, brown-black hair sticking up in every direction from the nervous, and restless sleep I had the night prior. I attempted to flex my arm muscles and sighed to myself. 

"What Muscles?" I thought to myself as i sighed.

I have a pretty lean build. I'm around 5'7, with a skinny body. I wished so badly I was built like some of the other boys my age. I have short brown hair, with a small nose, and an overall average face. My one redeeming quality is my eyes. They are a piercing blue, and my mom tells me they are the color of the ocean. It is a mystery as to where they came from, because both of my parents, and their parents have brown eyes. Like i said earlier, I am pretty wimpy. Sports, namely football, were not my forte. I am not the athletic type, so of course how could I be popular in school? The only people who were respected in my high school were the football team, and the chearleaders. Classic story right?

I jumped, startled from my self pitying thoughts as i heard my phone go off. Of course, my ringtone is Drops of Jupiter by Train, my favourite song. Before even looking at my caller ID I knew it was Ashley calling. Of course Ashley was calling me. Ashley is my best friend. Since age four, we have always been in the same class, every year. Ashley was one of the few people who spoke to me at school. I usually remained invisible. On days when Ashley was sick, I would resort to eating my lunch in a bathroom stall.

Ashley was in my opinion, very pretty. She is naturally very exotic looking. She has this year-long tanned glow about her that i envied. I am naturally very pale. She has cat-like emerald green eyes , that always seemed to stare into your soul, like she knew everything you were thinking. She has long, thick, flowing wavy chocolate brown hair that fell all the way to her elbows. Ashley has a button nose, and flawless smooth skin. Her full lips were the envy of many girls that laid their eyes upon her. She has a caring smile that made me melt.

One of the things I loved about Ashley most was her sense of individuality. Many times she was asked to become popular group. She could have easily become the queen bee of our high school. But throughout the years, she always said that she would rather die than become a bully like them. She has always stuck by my side unconditionally. I would defend Ashley to death. I can truly say I love her like a sister.

"Hello?" I said with an all knowing voice. 

"MORNING JORDY!!!" I had to move my phone away from my ear because she screamed so loud. 

I smiled, her constant enthusiasm never ceased to amaze me.

"Morning Ash! What time should I be expecting you?" I chuckled to myself silently.

Ever since the day we turned 16, Ashley drove me to school every single day. I cherished our car rides, we would plug in one of our iPods and just get lost in the music.

"Be there in half an hour! Gotta go get ready, just making sure you were up! If i know you at all, you've been hitting the snooze button for the last hour." She said with a knowing tone to her voice.

"Ok mom!" I said with mock annoyance, although of course she was absolutely correct. She was my best friend after all.

"Bye Jord." With that I heard a click.

Half an hour, I thought to myself. Ok I should really get ready. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and threw on a V neck, zip up hoodie and a pair of jeans. I rushed down the stairs and with five minutes to spare I grabbed a bowl of Cheerios and shoveled it down my throat as quickly as I could. I washed it down with a large glass of orange juice. As I was grabbing my lunch money off the counter, I heard a honk.

"LETS GO SLOWPOKE!" I heard Ashley yell from my driveway. And with that I looked in the mirror one last time.

'Here goes nothing,' I thought to myself. I locked up my house, threw my bag in the back of Ash's car, and we head to school for our first day of senior year.
