A/N HELLO CHILDREN!!! So, I'm M if you haven't read my other book. Anyway, I found out that Alex in this book does have a wattpad account, his user is @frazier30 . Also, please read my other book We Make History, as well as going to all my friends accounts' (refer to characters list) and reading theirs! My personal favorite of my friends' books right now would have to be The Unstoppable Duo (don't take offense to that friends😂) by jenna_dallas_elgort . It has 1K reads, so apparently other people really like it too. Please go check out their accounts and books, they are really good writers. Thanks, byyyyye!!!

        Sam's POV
        Wow. She is really pretty. I was kind of afraid to talk to her, Vanessa, so I just played it cool. Tried to play it cool. I really don't think it worked with the bow tie though. It looks weird on me, it's itchy, and just plain annoying. And since when does a ninth grader wear a bow tie. Like come on, mom. But she made me wear it because she thought everyone else would look real nice and all, too. Well, you thought wrong, mom. So I sat there, looking way overdressed for an orientation, and there was a girl staring at me. A girl! I'm not even that attractive, admit the facts, so I stared ahead, pretending I didn't see her. Finally, I gave my stare to the girl. I made the first move, still afraid.
"Hey! The name's Sam." I said, starting to blab on about my clothes. Geez, I talk a lot. I should find a way to stop doing that. Then, a little bit later, we all headed off to take a tour with a tour guide.

        Jacey's POV

        When we left the auditorium, we walked in the opposite direction of the guy Vanessa was talking to. Thank gosh. I thought. I really want to know what is going on right now.
         I didn't really pay attention at the orientation. At least after the first half. It got pretty boring, a whole bunch of teachers and principals talking on and on. I was pretty much sick of it after I tuned out. So, I sneakily put one of my earphones in, the one far away from Vanessa. She would probably accuse me of not listening when it was over. Plus, I was the end seat, so no one even noticed I had an earbud in. I turned on Like That by Jack and Jack featuring Skate. I loved that song, I knew all the words, and whenever someone wanted to listen to music I would be like "okay" and turn it on. And, the best part was, the song came out two years earlier. Two years! So, I hadn't known of this song I loved so much until two years after it came out. Sad, just sad.
        "Jacey!" Vanessa screamed in my ear.
       "I heard you!" I screamed back, standing up. She was impatiently waiting to go to the tour, and we were one of the last people up. Most of the people already started their tour, including that guy V was talking to, until dancers were finally called. It took forever to get to the place we were supposed to meet because nobody knew where it was. Half of the dancers were all the way on the other side of the room when we were supposed to be somewhere else. It was a madhouse in there. Finally, everybody was on one side of the main hall. I snuck the earbud that was in my ear into my pocket, and unplugged the part connected to my phone. Then, I, as casually as I could, shifted my weight from hip to hip, like I usually did when I was nervous.
      Sure enough, V asked if I was nervous about something.
        "No," I calmly replied. Truth was, my hands were shaking badly and my teeth were chattering quietly. Why was I nervous? Because my crush just texted me. We had a super long conversation about...things that I'd rather not speak of, which is basically some weird things we did in the past. Yeah, we are weird children. These are how to texts went:
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖: Hey, Jace. Wut r u doing?
Me: at an orientation for the new school I'm going to. It's so boring.
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖: that sounds terrible. Note the sarcasm, boo.
He calls everyone boo, so that was no surprise.
Me: but I did tell Vanessa that I wasn't nervous when I am.
There's where the big mistake comes in.
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖: why r u nervous?
Darn it, I should've never mentioned my nervousness. I was nervous when he texted me in the first place, so it was no doubt I was even more nervous then.
Me: well, it's a long story.
There's another mistake.
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖: I've got time.
Why am I so dumb sometimes? Seriously!
Me: I kind of don't though. You know, at an orientation
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖:well, I'm sure u can just skip listening for a while, right?
Wow. I shouldn't have even said it was long.
Me: well, it's pretty complicated but...
All of these things were lies to try to get him to get off my case for a while. None of them worked.
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖: just pleeeeease tell me?
If only I didn't lie I could've been able to tell him. But no, I lied a big lie.
Me: I used to have this weird infection where my right leg doesn't work that great. I think it's coming back, so I can't walk very well. I don't really want V to notice though, so please don't tell her. I think I might need a boot or something to keep it from aching so much. I really hope I don't need a boot or cast because then I won't be able to try out for the October talent show at my new school and then all will be totally ruined. Ew, I hate when I write super long text paragraphs. Why'd I just do that?!?!😂😩😜
Davewardious the Great😂😍💖: oh. my. goats. are you okay?!?! Will you be okay? can u still walk for the rest of the orientation at least? And I guess now is a good time to tell you...I like you. A lot. Like, when we first met I was like she's pretty and then ever since that day I've been in love with you. You are the most amazing girl on this planet and I hope you don't need a boot for your talent show because then nobody will know your real talents. You are a beautiful girl and a tremendous dancer and I don't know if you know this but I have been to most of your ballet performances, and some jazz and tap and other performances. You are the most amazing dancer out of all of them and u sparkle whenever u r on stage. I love you, Jacey. I really do, you are so beautiful and you should be my girlfriend. Just to sum it up a little bit. I love you like nobody else and u r always reaching for the stars. Just keep being u , even if u r going through rough times, which happens. If u keep being ur quirky, hilarious self, u will never be defeated. STAY STRONG, DON'T BACK DOWN TO THE WARRIORS. BECAUSE YOU ARE BETTER THEN THEM AND THEY KNOW IT. DONT LET YOURSELF FALL. KEEP FIGHTING. AND FROM DORY: JUST KEEP SWIMMING.😿😻💜❤️👆🏼👆🏼🤗😉
And that is why I am nervous. Because he asked me to be his girlfriend. Being his girlfriend is like being the best dancer in the world, that is how I feel.

A/N- sorry for the long, adorable couple chapter. COUPLE TAG😂😂anyway, please...
