Together Maybe?

Chapter 1 ~'The New Guy?'

You would never expect me, Forrest Jessica Green, to actually be with someone that wasn't a nerd or just a lame hobo. I know, I know. This isn't enough information to go by, so I guess I'll start explaining.

Once again, I am Forrest Jessica Green. Honestly, people would expect my life to be one of those stupid and unrealistic fairy tales. Well, your not even close. I'm the joke of the whole school. Usually, everybody makes fun of me for having my bestfriend be a boy. But I, honestly, don't give a crap. My best friends name is Reed. He is your average teenage boy. He is about 5'4 with shaggy blond hair. I have never really considered him attractive, but most likely because he is literally my best friend. And from what I've heard, relationships with your bestfriend don't go well.

You remember that crap I said earlier about not dating a hobo? Well, in fact, I am not dating anyone. Its just, I saw this really cute guy in my math class, and he actually noticed me. That's what I meant. ..........Awkward.

"Forrest!" I heard someone yell. I turn to see Reed waiting for me at a lunch table. I quickly went through the lunch line after getting my food and found my way over to Reed.

"Hey shorty." I smiled. Id always called him Shorty since we met. I was 5'8 meaning I was four inches taller than Reed.

He gave me a fake hurt look, then smiled back. "Why do you seem so happy?" he asked, taking a bite of his sandwhich.

"Y'know. Girl things." 

"Woah. Too much information. I thought that stuff made you guys cranky. Or, does it make you bipolar or something. Oh, whatever. Don't even answer that." He said, giving me a disgusted look.

"Gosh Reed, you're so disgusting. I didn't mean that. I meant liking a guy."

"Oh. Oh. Ohhh!!" He said, picking up on everything slowly.

"My god, Reed."

"Wait, so, who's the guy?"

"I mean, just some guy in my math class." I grinned, grabbing a couple of Reed's chips. I was never really big on the school's lunch. It always tasted like crap.

"Oh. Is it that new guy? Like, Peter, or something?" He asked, taking the milk carton off my tray and chugging it down. "Oh, god, thats horrible." He said, starting to cough.

"Now do you see why I always steal your food?" I laughed. "Oh, actually, I don't know his name." 

"Wait, is that him?" Reed asked, pointing over to a cute guy with short, brown hair. He was standing in line behind another girl, who was practicly drooling over him.

"Yeah, I believe it is." I grinned, standing up from my side of the lunch table, and walking over next to Reed. I sat down, and we were sitting right next to eachother. He blushed a bit and then looked back to his sandwhich.

I started to wonder why he blushed. Probably just some cute girl looking at him. I mean, it wasn't like girls were lined up down the block, wanting to date him, but there were plenty of girls always asking him out.

"Um, why are you sitting there?" He asked. I frowned a bit. I mean, he'd never questioned me before.

"I'm hungry." I chuckled. I unzipped his backpack and started searching for food. I found a hershey's bar, some cheetos, and a banana. I pulled out the banana and started eating that.

"Dude, your going to have to start bringing your own food. I'm not a walking fridge." He said. Then, Reed did one of the things I never thought he would do. I zipped up his backpack, took the banana from my hand, and started walking out of the cafeteria, dropping the banana in the trash can.

"Rude." I mumbled.

"What was that?" I heard a voice ask. I looked up from the table to see the same guy from my math class standing there.

"Oh. Um, nothing." I said. Okay, now I was acting stranger than I usually do.

"Well, I'm Preston. Just thought I'd say hi. I've been going around introducing myself to some people. I just thought since I'd seen you in my math class I'd say something to you. Once again, I'm Preston."

I smiled. "Oh, well, I'm Forrest. You can call me Forr or Jessie. I go by my middle name too, which is Jessica." I grinned like a maniac.

"Well, see you around Forr." He smiled, leaving and going on to the next table. I blushed even more at the sound of my name coming from his voice. See you around Forr.
