But I'm just me (Jack Johnson)

There he was. The blond boy who stood at 5'9" with piercing blue eyes that were usually hidden behind textbooks and his black framed glasses. His name? Jack Johnson. He stood at his locker, quickly shoving his AP textbooks in and grabbing the other books needed for his next class.

"Hey Y/N!" I hear one of my friends call out from down the hall. Jack looks in my direction, but quickly turns away, paying no mind like he usually does.

I shake off the thought and forced a smile on my face.

"Please tell me you're still going to the party Friday night?" One of my best friends, Sage, begs as she grips my arms and squeezes them, slightly shaking me back and forth.

"Yeah, I mean the only reason why we're invited is because your popularity status at this school." Her boyfriend chimes in, casually slinging his arm over Sage's shoulders.

"You should bring someone, that way you're not third wheeling!" Sage cheers, clapping her hands, jumping up and down.

"That's a good idea, babe." Her boyfriend smiles. "Ask lover boy down the hall there," he teases knowing that I had a huge crush on Jack. "You'd make that nerd's dream come true."

Sage, knowing that I hated the label that Jack came with, slapped her boyfriend's chest regarding his comment.

"Don't call him that okay." I defend, slamming the metal door attached to my locker, facing them, then crossing my arms. "He's a nice guy. Just because he's a little shy and kind of socially awkward doesn't mean he's less of a person." I tell him, raising an eyebrow.

"Alright, alright. Calm down, I didn't mean to offend you by calling your 'boyfriend' a nerd. Why do you even like him anyway? There are a ton of guys here that wanna smash." He chuckles.

I roll my eyes and pushed myself off my locker.

"Apparently, one time when it was down pouring and she was waiting for her ride from her old douchebag of a boyfriend at the time – who may I add, was cheating on her and that's why she had to wait in the rain – Jack shared his umbrella and waited with her for a good 2 minutes. That was when she fell head over heels for him." Sage shares, informing her fairy new boyfriend, even if it was slightly exaggerated.

"Aw, how romantic." He says sarcastically. "Okay, well I'm heading to class. I'll see you ladies at lunch." He says before giving his girlfriend a quick peck on her cheek, then leaving us alone.

"Never mind anything he says, but you really should ask Jack to the party." She encourages and for a moment I was actually going to do it.

I looked at him as he carefully shut his locker door and checked his phone. He was walking towards my direction, heading to chemistry which we had together. I plucked up the courage to stop him.

"Hey Jack." I let out, making him jump a little. He looked at me with his beautiful blue eyes. For a moment, he looked a little baffled that I was talking to him.

"H-hey Y/N." He slightly stutters, holding his textbooks horizontally against his abdomen.

I smiled at his reaction because frankly, I found it cute. "I was wondering if you're busy Friday night?" I asked, hoping I didn't sound too straight forward.

He paused for a moment and then replied. "No, I don't think so. Why?"

"Well, I was kind of wondering if you wanted to come to a party with me that night." I ask, hoping he would say yes.

"Uh, no thanks. It's not really my scene and to be completely honest, Y/N, I don't want to end up going there only to be left alone while you mingle with your other popular friends. Thank you, though. I'll see you in class." He kindly rejects me and for a minute, I felt my heart fall to the pit of my stomach. He smiled, then quickly walked away, turning into the classroom on his left.
