2 days later...

I quickly wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I sit up and brush my hair out of my face with my index finger. I grab my phone off of my desk and answer it.

"GOOD MORNING SAM!" Jace yells into my ear threw the phone.

I yawn. "Good Morning Jace."

I hear his soft chuckle in my ear. "You sound tired."

I yawn again. "I am."

"Well it's 6:45am you should probably start getting ready for school."

I laugh. "Since when do you get up at 6:45am?"

I hear him grin and then whisper. "Since I met you."

Chills rush down my spine. How can a simple statement like that be so death defyingly intriguing? I swear, some of the things that Jace says make me rethink life.

I smile into the phone. "I can't figure out if that was a compliment or a statement?"

"Maybe it was both." Jace whispers.

"Jesus Christ, I can't talk to you anymore. You're too flirty. I got to get ready for school." I say standing up and putting on my slippers.

"Okay. I'll be there at 7:30."

"What? I didn't ask you to pick me-

His laugh cuts me off. "See you at 7:30."

Before I can say anything else he hangs up. I roll my eyes before tossing my phone onto my bed.

I go into my closet and grab my white Star Wars T-Shirt and some light wash shorts that stop just above my knee. I quickly shower and put on my clothes.

I dry my hair and look in the mirror. I should do something different with my hair. It's dark brown, super long and naturally curly. Maybe I could try straighting it? Nah. I'll wait until my date with Billy to try that. I'll just wear it down today.

I put on my white converse, grab my phone and bookbag and then leave my room.

I walk into the hallway to be stopped by complete silence. My mom must have went to work and my dad is probably on another business trip.

Since I've been hanging out with Jace so much lately, I really don't even keep tabs on when my dad goes on his business trips anymore. I hope he doesn't feel like I'm shutting him out.

I walk into the kitchen and see a note tapped to the fridge:

Left for work early.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to make breakfast.
There's some cereal if you're hungry.
Love you! Have a nice day at School! :) 

I set down the note and sigh. She knows a hate cereal. I hear the doorbell ring and immediately run to the door. I look through the peephole and see Jace's dirty blond hair. I open the door and Jace greets me with a smile.

"Hey," I say closing the door behind me and following Jace to his car.

We get in and Jace starts driving.

"Today you should come over so we can study for that upcoming history test." I say.

"History is boring. Why do we have to learn about something that's already happened? We should be learning about the future." Jace smiles.
