My eyes open slowly, I can feel the sun on my face and the breeze blowing on my hair.
Today is senior picture day, a day I've been dreading since the start of the year.
Normally what happens on these kind of day's is I go in to the studio, stand in a line with my other classmates, think I look fine and then BAM! Donkey face right as the camera flashes.I get out of bed and stretch my arms, cliché I know, but hey, girl gotta stretch.
I look out the window, scanning the sky and the wind, looks like I can dress lightly today. As I peer out I notice the house across the road, and the boy in the window opposite mine getting dressed.Jack Donacio.
His shaggy black hair in every direction, he's deep chocolate eyes red from tiredness, his fawless abs being covered by a plain black t-shirt to match his black skinny jeans.
I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding. Damn he's perfect.
Okay let me explain, Jack Donacio is one of the most popular boys in my school, not only for his good looks, but also for being captain of the basketball team. He's been my neighbor for twelve years, and also, my crush...Now I know what you're thinking, how typical huh? Loser falls for the popular bad boy and vice versa?
Trust me, it's not really like that, Jack hasn't spoken to me in five years, not since he started beint popular at school.
He used to be so cute and sweet, we'd play family in his garden and go to my pool and eat ice loli's. Typical kid stuff.I turn my gaze away from the boy to search my own room for something to wear, and after about ten minutes of searching, I settle on a black V neck and some light blue skinny jeans with my red high top converse.
I grab my school bag and walk down the hallway to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and hair.
I rush down the stairs to grab an apple and shout a quick "bye mom!" before leaving my house to walk to school.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk through the double doors to school and walk to my locker.
I arrive to see James, my best guy friend leaning against it talking to Riley, my best girl friend. When will they get together...
"Hey guys!" they both turn to greet me with a smile which I return.
"Well hello there" James winks.
Oh James, he always flirts as a joke with every girl, but I know he likes Riley. It's pretty obvious, his profile picture's are always with her, doesn't matter wether he looks bad or not. Plus the fact that they're constantly texting and teasing each other.
I hit him lightly on the shoulder and he grins his goofy grin, Riley rolls her eyes smilling and gives me a quick hug.
"So who's coming tonight?" she asks excitedly."To what?" I ask.
"Movies duh"
"I'll go" James says happily.
"Sure I'll go" I smile.
I don't really go out much, so this is a treat.
The bell rings and I bid goodbye to my friends and headed off to maths class.
As I walked through the door I narrowly escaped being hit by a paper ball that was thrown by none other than Jack Donacio. He's propped on a table laughing with his friends. He grins at me while chuckling and I feel the heat rising on my cheeks. I sit down quickly and try to get rid of my blush. Suddenly I hear a chair pull up next to me. "Sorry about that" the voice is deep and raspy, I look to my left to see the shaggy haired boy smiling at me. And I swear my heart rate just picked up dangerously. His eyes met mine and they held something I didn't recognize. "Oh, it's okay, you didn't realize I was coming" I smile at him and he grins. His chocolate brown eyes are so much more gorgeous up close. He chuckles lightly "I'll be more careful next time, promise" and with that he leaves and goes back over to his friends.
His little group consists of him, Axel Di'Marco, a baby faced blonde boy with green eyes and a muscular body much like Jack's, and Edward Greene, his light brown hair and hazel eyes make him irresistible, his broad shoulders like the rest of the boys are much more toned and his abs are rock hard.
Damn. Just damn.
All three boys sit down quickly as they hear Mr Philips coming in to class.
Edward and Axel sit together in front of Jack, who's sitting alone with his phone under the desk. He looks up at me and winks with a sly smirk.
Damn this boy.
