Chapter 1

Walking to school is awful, especially in the hot and muggy florida. My neck, back, legs and shoulders all ached. I pulled my shirt down by the bottom for the hundreth time. My backpack rubbed in this one way, that made it roll up. My black sneackers slapped the pavement as i truged on. Wiping my forhead covered in sweat, i wondered if my black eyliner and mascara would hold. My lip gloss was already long gone, from me licking my lips in hope of not becoming dehydrated.

I lived at least an hour from school, and so far i guessed it had been 40 minuetes. Sweat dripped off my nose, landing on my shirt. The straps for my bag dug into my shoulders, i shifted the straps. Looking around,i saw bikeriders and cars passing me by. There were some people walking ahead of me. I was almost to school.

Looking around, i noticed a car crashed into a pole, just across the road. 'Dam!That guy looked like he was badly injured!' i thought. There was some man in a white shirt helping him though, so i dident have to wor-No wait, was that guy...eating him?Nah, my eyes were playing tricks. I blamed it on poor eyesight.

Looking forward i saw the school in the distance, just behind the curve of the road. Some boys crossed the street laughing, and a red pickup truck raced through the red light, almost hitting the boys. 'Oh my god! They fricken almost got hit!'. The boys looked shocked too. One even fell over! A blond guy helped him up, and they hurried to the sidwalk.

Some other boys and a girl rushed to them as soon as they stepped on the sidewalk, asking, as i assumed, if they were Okay.

As i aproached the school, i suddenly remembered that i had forgotten to do my math homework. 'Crap!' i had been a little preoccupide last night, with what worrying about my dad and all. He had acted strange, coming home with a frown, and his brow [i dont know the word so ill just put-] > . My sister couldent care less, she was to intent on spending the night texting on her phone.

But me on the otherhand, noticed that his usual straight posture, was switched for slumping on the couch. He refused dinner, and instead, stayed up late, typeing furiously on his laptop.When i questioned him about his behavior though, he got mad and told me evreything was fine, that he was just tired.

Refusing to swallow the lie, but respecting my dads privacy, i dident pry. Instead, i said goodnight, and went to bed.

Walking into school, i headed to the courtyard, looking for max. I found him, Sitting underneath our groups tree. Black hair glinting in the early morning light, blue eyes bright and clear, and white teeth glowing, Max looked like any girls dream. But what i saw, was my best freind since 2nd grade.

Jared, with his wavy brown hair and green eyes, slouched on Max's right. To Max's left was the hot, but obnoxious, Zack. Laughing loudly, and smirking, he had girls slung on both of his arms. His shaggy blond hair, and deep blue eyes, lured all the girls in.

Zack was 16, Max was 15, Jared was 14, and of course i was 15.

Before i was even a coulpe feet away from the group, i was being squeezed to death. Smirking, i hugged my best girlfriend, Zoey, back. Her long blond hair fell to her waist, and her round baby blue eyes shown. At 14, she was already dragging in all the boys.

Her older brother, Wade, stood behind her, in all his golden beauty >:). His blond hair was the same style as link's(you know, like link from the legend of zelda.), but instead of blue eyes like his sister, his eyes were a deep honey color, golden really. He was tall and lanky, perfect for basketball. I had always liked him, he was sweet and respectful, but he was 17 and too old for me.

I waved, and he smiled in return.' Absolute hottie' i thought. He could melt any girl with those pearly whites, and that causual look. (i wish i actually knew someone that yummy ;P) His teeth were the straightest and whitest teeth ive ever seen.

But of course just then the twins, Alex and Amanda, came strolling over, instantly stealing Wade's attention. Me and Zoey both agreed that Wade was in love with Alex. Not that it was very surprizing, i mean, Alex was beautiful. Alex had long, wavy, caramel colored hair; and she had beautiful green eyes; tall and skinny, with pale skin; she was really athletic too. But then there was Alex's sister, Amanda, she was the complete oppisite of her sister. She had long straight caremel hair; violet slanted eyes; she was short and skinny, with sun kissed skin, although she wasent at all athletic. Both of them were 16.

Walking with zoey towards max, we chatted-"Hey Zoey! Guese what happened on the way to school!" i said.

Zoey got a dreamy look, and glanced over at Zack "Let me guese, Zack asked you out?".

I smirked "He did indeed.! But not after tellig me how much he dislikes you!"

Zoey looked confused, i rolled my eyes "Just kidding, Zoey! Cant take a joke! No he dident ask me out! But there were these guys who were crossing the street, and some crazy dude in a pickup ran the light!I mean he almost hit them!".

Zoey looked at me "They okay or what?" she got a panicky look "who were the boys!?"

"Dunno, all i remember is the guy who was closes to getting hit. he had spikey blond hair and hazel eyes."

Zoey looked calm again "Dunno him."

Then Zoey looked back over at Zack, "Do you think Zack will ask me out?'

She looked so desperate that i couldent help but burst out laughing"Zoey! You need to move on! Zachs a player, He dosent get girlfriends, he gets whores!"

Zoey looked annoyed, but we were besties so she forgave me. But that dident stop her from walking away from me, just to lean on Zachs now free shoulder.

I sighed, feeling bad. Then Max noticed me, he got up and came over to me.

He gave me a hug and said" So hows my little Katie kat doing?" He wore a huge goofy grin.

I smirked "Meow? Nothin much."

We sat down under the tree, and i said hi to jared.

"Hi Katie." Jared looked away, looking at Zoey. No way! Did he like Zo-

Suddlenly i was tased in the side." HEY!"

Max laughed "You always leave yourself open!"

I pretended to be offended, huffing and giving him a dirty look.

He scooted closer, hands outstrected. I grinned, i knew what was coming. " Aww you cant be mad at me!"

"NO!!!" i laughed as he tickled me. Tears poured down my cheeks "STOP! STOP!" I struggled, but i couldent break loose.

Max grinned wildley "Make me stop! Beg!"

I laughed so hard i thought id probaly was purple"Okay! Okay! STOP! PLEASE STOP!"

Max stopped, and we both sat there grinning at each other. I of course was panting like a dog.

Then the bell rang, evreyone left to class. But as i headed to Biology, i had this warm fuzzy felling in my chest as i thought of max. No of course i dident like him! I was just....fond of him. He was just a friend.
