I ducked my head and hid behind Dez,"Is he still looking?" I whispered and nervously pulled at my hair wincing as a few strands of hair fled from my scalp. Bad habit, I know.

"No, oh my god Toby, you need a big dose of chill." Annoyed, she moved so I no longer had anyone to hide behind. "Dude, this crush is hopeless. We need to find you a new one." She pointed and I slapped her hand down.

"DONT POINT!" I whisper yelled.

Dez rolled her eyes,"fffiiinnnneee." She nodded her head in the general direction of the person she had pointed to,"Levi Robinson, you can tell from the name he's loaded. Broad shoulders, athletic, and most importantly nice ,unlike Adam."

"What? Adams nice!" I protested.

"Yeah, to his girlfriend. She gestured to Salone Carter, the head cheerleader(such a cliche) who was currently giving Adam a lap dance.

I rolled my eyes,"He's being forced."

I thought heard her mutter it sure doesn't look like it, and I gave her a look,"what?!" She raised her hands defensively. My eyes widen as I looked at the person approaching behind Dez. She saw my eyes and you could practically here her pulse jump,"Is it him?" I nodded, like all teenage girls Dez had a crush. I mean they where practically dating, but since his parents didn't allow him to date tell he turned 17, the where what I liked to call, "officially unofficial." Clever right??!!

Dez twisted in her seat,"hey Tyler." She said, totally nonchalant, as if she hadn't been freaking out only moments earlier.

Tyler smiled,"Hey Dez!" He pulled out a chair and sat down and the two of them launched into a deep conversation containing topics such as ponies and Facebook quotes and other totally boring crap.

I rolled my eyes and muttered, hi to you to Tyler, before looking past the happy "unofficial official" couple to continue staring at Adam. He. was. gorgeous. With broad shoulders, honey brown eyes and a total six-pack that was visible through his fitting white tee, it was no wonder all the girls flocked around him. Including me.

"Earth. To. Toby!!" Dez waved her hands in front of my face. My attention snapped back to her,"I asked if you wanted to join me and Ty on a walk to subway." She might as well have asked me to go smoke weed with her. I shook my head,"ummmm, no interest." I said and I could've sworn I saw Tyler pump his fists in victory.

I hate couples... Yet I only say that cause I'm alone.

They took off and I pulled a worn copy of twilight  (I know, I'm classy) and open to the dog eared page. 5 minutes in and a chair pulled out beside me a backpack dropped in the floor and a binder slammed in the table beside me. But I didn't glance up until he spoke up,"Yo, dawg! Where's my damn homework?!"

I flipped the page,"I don't know, It's not my homework dawg."

"But I told you to do it." He growled.

I leaned back in my chair and continued reading,"Your problem." I shrugged,"your homework."

Suddenly he grabbed the book and threw it across the cafeteria and I didn't see where it landed.

Now I know what your thinking,"OOOOHH! Toby's got a hot mysterious bad boy into her! This story just got soo interesting!" Well I hate to disappoint you, dear reader,  but this royal butt face was my beloved (not) cousin.

"Collin! What the heck?!" I glared at him and tried to pinpoint my book on the cafeteria floor. It was then I noticed Adam stand up. It was then I noticed he had a book clutched in his hands, my book. My heart pounded as he came closer.

"Hey, uh, Tammy, right? I believe this belongs to you." He smiled rows of white teeth.

"Uh, yah.... Thanks." I stammered, looking like a tomato, I'm sure.

"Her names Toby, dumbass." My cousin mumbled and Adams confident grin faltered for a split second before resuming his pearly white teeth show,"oh sorry man!" He said and walked off.

Collin looked at me in discust but nothing really mattered. Not that Adam called me Tammy, or that he called me man. None of it.

God he was beautiful.

"Your pathetic you know that?" Collin said.

"Yah."
