"Jacob get up! You're gonna be late!"

"Shut up i know!"

I guess this is where i introduce myself.
My name is Jacob Aguirre. I go to Belvedere Middle School in the 8th grade and im 13 years old. Well i guess theres not much else to explain so back to the story.

"You always take so long" my sister said.

"So what at least we get there" I replied. We were usually late to school, but thats ok. I got in the car, followed by my sister and we drove to school.

*Time skip to school*

I walked in the gate and filled my name on the tardy list, and then they gave me a little blue slip they always give you when you're late. I walked to the P.E area and gave the slip to my teacher and sat down on the floor on my number, which was 1. I turned around to see my best friend a couple numbers behind. Her name was Victoria. She is probably the best person there is. After the teacher took attendance, she said that we would be playing volleyball for the next week. I kinda liked volleyball. She told us to pick our teams and i picked Victoria, my other best friend Emely, and my two friends Evelyn and Carla. She showed us the basics and at first I payed attention, but then i saw him walk towards the water fountain. He was so majestic. Each step he took was just so fascinating to watch. He was a dark skinned boy with short-ish dark brown hair and brown eyes. He wore shorts that didnt go past his knees and a dark blue sweater. He was just so beautiful and there was something about him that made me want to kiss his face. Except i didnt quite know his name.

"Jacob's team, you go play over there with Max's team" the teacher said, pointing to one of the volleyball nets.

Ugh. Max's team.

There was nothing actually wrong with the people in the team, its just that when it comes to sports, they were extremely competetive. One of them almost broke someones leg playing basketball.

Although i liked volleyball, i wasnt able to stay focused the whole period. I just kept staring at him. He would look at me sometimes and i would look away quickly and feel myself blush a little. But everytime he did, he would stare at me. I didnt look directly at him, just out of the corner of my eye. I cant believe it! He was staring at me! I know right?! Anyway, we did this for another 30 minutes until...

Boink!

The ball hit me in the head and bounced off. And the worst part was he saw it. He looked away with a concerned look on his face. The teacher blew the whistle and we put away the ball. We sat back down on our numbers until the teacher dismissed us to go eat breakfast. I went to go greet my friends. Michelle, a potato who somehow won victorias heart, Josmit, or as i call her, a "tall basic white bread" (its a joke you had to be there to get) and Renee, the meme queen and the girl who provides me with coffee every morning. Its like a routine. Then the bell rang and Emely and i walked to second period, science. I have her for all my classes except period 5. But for the rest of the day i just thought of him. For all the periods i thought of him until the end of the day. Now it was the afterschool program.
Renee, Michelle, and Josmit stay in dance while Victoria, Emely and I stay for music. Though sometimes me and Toria go to dance. We basically did what we always do, which is. Homework, practice, and go home. When i got home i was too tired to walk so i just went to sleep. Thinking about him.
