It Was Freshman Year..

Jackson Pearse, by far the hottest guy in school if you ask me he is.
Jason Pearse, the second hottest guy in school also known as Jackson's little brother. Jackson has a gorgeous cheerleader girlfriend that adores him and they're always making out in public. Before every class, after every class everyone is sick of it already. His girlfriend is Elizabeth Hillworth also known as my older sister. Everyone knows them and no one knows me it's kind of sad how much I get ignored and how little friends I have. But I can't complain because I have the best friend ever Ellie Kane she has a boyfriend too they're so cute and are always holding hands and hugging, they never kiss in public because they hate it when everyone else does it because they think those people are looking for attention. I'm Anastasia by the way, Anastasia Hillworth. My dad invented the banana phone, my mom is one of the most famous actresses in America. My parents are Daniel and Annabelle Hillworth, they've been married for almost 15 years now and they never fight, my mom is now pregnant again with my baby brother Michael. My mom has been very good with what she is eating mostly fruits and veggies. So last night my sister walked in while I was doing homework and said she wanted to give me a makeover, so I let her and she picked out a black mini skirt and a floral crop top and silver one inch heeled sandals. She even curled my hair and did my makeup, I wish I could have worn my Katy Perry crop top but I know my sister would have rejected it because she says I'm obsessed amd she's for little kids. Everyone has a reason to live, Katy is mine. As I was walking into school I had three people ask if I was new here and four guys winked at me. My sister had pride set in her eyes so I just followed what she did and a lot of people had to take second looks to see if it was me.
"Hey, are you- Anastasia? Is that you!" Ellie. I could recognize her voice from a million miles away, she was of course waking with her boyfriend, David.
"Yeah its me, my sister dressed me up for today."
"You look gorgeous like a model. Did California just get hotter or is that you?"
"Ellie you always know what to say you gorgeous little swiftie you"
"That's me" she giggles.
Ellie loves Taylor Swift even though Katy and Taylor aren't the best of friends anymore but that doesn't mean Ellie and I can't be friends.
"Hey El, I have to get to my class. See you later" with a hug David walks away.
"Ellie, Jason is walking my way and he's making eye contact with me. What do I do?"
"Be yourself cutie, just go with the flow"
"Thanks, stay close so you hear everything"
So I might have a huge crush on Jason since about the fifth grade. I know it was just some stupid puppy love, in fifth grade no one knew what love was. We were still making jokes about inappropriate things, but I was daydreaming about something me and Jason did in sixth grade that actually never happened.
"Anastasia? Hey Anastasia, are you ok?"
"Oh, um. Sorry Jason I was just trying to think of the math homework we had yesterday."
"We didn't have any homework." He said with a cute smile.
"Oh, OK thanks"
"So Anastasia, I wanted to ask you something.."
"Oh uh yea, go ahead"
"Do you-"
"JASON! HEY! IS THAT YOU?" Candy Williams she's the most popular girl in school, she's been obsessed with Jason since first grade.
"Hold on Candy, I'm trying to ask Anastasia something.."
"Oh OK, I'll just wait until you're done"
"Jason if you want me to come back-"
"No, so Anastasia do you want to go out with me this weekend?"
"Like as friends?"
"No, I really like you. I've liked you since fifth grade"
"Really?"
Candy's face got so pale and she left with tears forming in her eyes. She never liked me but I feel like she'll twist something and make life a whole lot worse for me.
"Can I pick you up at around 5:00 on Friday and take you to the movies?"
"Sounds great!"
He leaves and he has the biggest smile on his face, he's so adorable and I don't even know how he likes me! That annoying girl in the AP classes that sits in the corner not answering any questions. So Candy walks back over to me and she said
"How? How! He LIED! He's only liked you since like yesterday! I would know I'm his bestfriend! He was supposed to ask me out! Now you guys are going to winterformal and you're dating!"
"Um. Sorry?"
"YOU SHOULD BE!"
If anyone is sorry it should be her, I mean she doesn't even know how to read let alone get herself a boyfriend. She doesn't care about other people only herself and she thinks see can get a boyfriend? She must be living in a fantasy world.
"Aren't you going to answer me?"
"What? Sorry, what did you say?" Candy is so annoying she thinks people have to listen to her all the time and if you don't then you have to be thrown to the firey depths of the underworld
"Where are you guys going to go!" She thinks we can be all buddy-buddy now that I'm dating her bestfriend.
"Uh, the movies. Why do you care anyway?"
"I'm his bestfriend I need to protect him!"
"He's not your dog"
"I know, but he's supposed to be with me. So technically he is my dog" she smirks with the most evil little smile I've ever seen. She's terrible I hate her so much, she is so terrible, so evil, I can't even stand her.
"Bye, puppet!" What did she just call me?
"What did you just say?" I gritted my teeth in disgust
"Puppet." How dare she say that, oops newsflash honey he doesn't like you.
"How dare you!" She walks away looking as confident as ever. It makes me want to be sick. I hear her yell down the hallway back to me
"I'm sooooo sweet! That's why I'm named Candy." I could just tell the smirk she had on her face, you know she's evil when you can tell that she has a smirk on her face from 50 feet away from you.
"Sweet? I wouldn't put it that way. Maybe you should switch your name to Satan instead." She stops turns around yells for Jason and runs into his arms as he turns around the corner.
"Candy get off of me, I've never liked you and I never will like you. Plus I'm dating Anastasia." I'm shocked he said 'dating' he then turns my way and winks with the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen. I don't know why I'm so shocked just he's so popular and I'm not.
"You two are disgusting, I'll break you up somehow just give me time!" Jason starts walking me towards class and we don't talk the whole time. I'm about to walk into French when Jason stops me and says
"Why aren't you talking to me? Are you actually scared of Candy breaking us up?"
"No, that's not it. I'm just scared she'll hurt one of us.."
"That will never happen, I'll tell my dad and he'll put guards on both of our families and put in extra advanced security systems in both of our houses." I'm afraid for Jason to come over. I mean my house is a lot bigger than his but I also think my dad won't really appreciate someone else installing a new security system. My dad won't do it and he won't have anyone else do it, we have one of the most advanced security systems on the planet.
"Just come over after school and we can talk with my dad about it."
"Ok, meet me by the football field and Jackson can drive us home along with Elizabeth."
"Cool, see you then."
"I was actually thinking, maybe you and Ellie could sit with me at lunch today."
"Ok! Could David sit with us too?"
"Ellie's boyfriend? Sure, if he's ok with it. I mean I know he's kind of shy."
"Ok, well I'll see you then. Now I'll see you then."
"See you then." I don't know why I'm always so awkward around him, maybe it's because of the fact he's popular. I mean what girl wouldn't be awkward around a super cute and popular guy. It's like the law of girls, or maybe it's just me. Probably just me. My teacher looks at me like I'm growing 12 heads, it's probably because I've been standing in the doorway for 5 minutes off in my little world again.
"Anastasia, would you like to join us?" She says in english with the most beautiful but slight french accent I've ever heard. I never really hear her speak in English whick is why I'm starstruck over the fact that she sounds so nice, like a warm cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day sitting on the couch eating food. Wow I'm obsessed with food, anyway Ms. Beaumont (my teacher) was always in a hurry to get things done she's young and pretty and has so much to live for but she's always in a hurry so she can get out of this school, like me.
"excusez-moi"
"Merci" For those who don't speak French or are just starting I pretty much said that excuse me and my teacher just said thank you for apologizing. It's a pretty hard language to some people but I catch on pretty quick, I'm not the brightest but for some reason this year I'm doing so good in my classes, all A's baby! Well except for the one C that I have in science, my teacher is the worst, her name is Ms. Schwartz she the worst science teacher on the planet. We never take notes, she never gives anything to us to study from for tests and quizzes, and she's practically failing the whole grade. Like I said. Worst. Teacher. Ever.
"Anastasia.." my friend Derek whispers over to me pretty awkwardly, Derek's cool but he's just not very good at communicating with other humans.
"Yeah, Derek?" I say whispering back sorta quiet but louder than I intended. I feel my face burning up Ms. Beaumont looks towards me with a stern look on her face, I look back down at my paper and try to look like I've been paying attention the whole time
"Are you going to the library at lunch?" I'm kind of disappointed that he almost got me in trouble for that.
"No sorry, I'm sitting with Jason today. We're dating now." I knew I shouldn't have said that because Derek has liked me since about second grade. I feel bad now that I said and I look back at my work and the bell rings, just as I'm about to walk out Derek calls for me
"Anastasia, wait up." I walk even faster because I feel so bad that I don't even want to talk to him anymore
"Sorry Derek I have to go.." I shouldn't have even said anything
"Its OK you're dating Jason!" I stop in my footsteps and turn around
"I'm OK with you dating Jason, because I've been dating Jessica since Saturday." I didn't know what to say, I felt relieved but also jealous that he was dating someone else, I know that I have a boyfriend too but it just doesn't seem right.
"You're sure you're OK Derek?"
"Positive" I don't know why I asked if he was OK he has a girlfriend so he should be fine.
"Well I'll see you around Derek, maybe I'll see you before you go the the library at lunch."
"Yeah, maybe." Things did still feel awkward but at least we're friends still.
"Uh, well bye Anastasia."
"See you around." I casually try to walk away to go to science and Jason stops me by hugging me from behind
"Ah!" I scream because I'm scared who it was but then relived it was just Jason.
"Hey Anastasia! Can't wait for lunch!"
"Me either! I have to get to science now but I'll talk to you later." I give him a shy little smile and with that walk away pretty fast so Schwartz won't yell at me but walk slow enough so Jason doesn't think I'm trying to ditch him. I turn around and see him walking away too. I've never had a boyfriend so I'm not sure how this works and I'm also concerned I'm being a bad girlfriend. It's study hall and in doing all of my homework and waiting for lunch, science was so boring don't even get me started, pretty much Schwartz just went on and on about how much she loved her old job and blah, blah, blah. She's a good person don't get me wrong, but her teacher skills are kind of lacking. Lunch is in two periods and that seems like it's forever away, Ellie said she'd sit with me and David said he's OK with it too. I'm so happy they get to sit with each other even though David's pretty shy. There literally one of the cutest couples in school I swear, but everyone has been gossiping about me and Jason, I hate when people talk about me other than Ellie and Derek, I mean my family I'm OK with as long as they're talking about me with other family. My mom since she's pregnant she can't really talk to me about anyone, which is good since she's like world famous I'm in magazine articles and all that jazz. It's annoying let me tell you, she's talking about how I have crushes on famous people and how I would put up posters of them on my wall, well let's say this Romeo Light called me and told me that I should probably take down my posters. That was the most embarrassing thing maybe, ever. Just then I get a text from my mom
Hey doll! I just got a text from Romeo! He said he knows you have a boyfriend now and he wants you to break up with him because he's secretly liked you all this time! He's so silly! L-O-L
-Xoxo
Mom
Well that's embarrassing, he hates me and now he wants to date me? Nope, just, because I'm not single anymore and you want to be my boyfriend doesn't mean I'm going to break up with my boyfriend for you.
Mom, tell Romeo sorry but maybe some other time.
-Lexi
Wow, I never knew how good it feels to reject people, it feels great! The bell just rang and I can't wait to get to language arts! It's probably my favorite class, I always loved being in language arts. Reading, writing, just the feeling of the literature around me being absorbed amd feeling like I could just write anything and everything. After language arts I get through lunch. Which wasn't as exciting as i expected. Wasn't anything exciting just lunch with my best friend her boyfriend and my boyfriend. What keeps going through my head is Candy saying
"He's only liked you since like yesterday" I hate her so much but her annoying voice can't get out of my head it keeps ringing and she just tries to kill me. I've asked her before why she's hated me but she just flipped her ugly black greasy hair and walked away. Look at yourself honey you think I'm ugly? Get over yourself. On the way home I was so excited for the weekend no homework no responsibilities except chores tomorrow morning but the first Saturday of every month my mom takes me to the mall. That's tomorrow! We love to go to every store even if we hate it. We just want to get away from home, we try on clothes and prom dresses. It's just so fun. Oh crap, I thought it was Wednesday it's Friday Jason asked me out this morning. I walk in and ask my mom
     "Hey mom, uh so Jason asked me out this morning and we're going to the movies he wants to see home light. Is that okay?"
     "Of course, is what's it about?"
     "Nothing, just a guy trying to find his way home because he got lost in the woods and he gets attacked by raccoons no big deal."
     "Oh, well sure it's still fine"
I just left after that and got ready. Surprise surprise Elizabeth walks straight into my room and picks out my clothes for me. I mean I'm not complaining she's trying to help and I appreciate it but I'm perfectly capable of picking my own clothes out. I'm not a baby anymore, anyway she let me choose my Katy Perry crop top thank God.  She then chose high waisted dark denim shorts, and black high tops. It was really cute actually. I thought I would look like and elephant but you know when your sister curls your hair AGAIN this morning and has to RE-DO your makeup she just fixed my eyeliner and added a little hair spray I looked decent. Decentish. Jason came a picked me up at 4:45 he wanted to be early.
