Chapter 2

I tapped the table impatiently as I waited for Jace. Where the hell was he? I'd been waiting for thirty minutes already. My train of thought was interrupted when I heard a giggle behind me. I turned around to see a girl who was blushing and a guy who had his arms wrapped around her, staring at her lovingly. My anger and impatience were replaced with a flash of jealousy. 

I'd never felt that way before. I had never had a guy stare at me lovingly, to have him tell me I was beautiful, and let me know how much he loved me. I sighed as I realized how fucking lonely my life really was. Oh, I've had guys doddle after me and adore me but those jerks just wanted to be seen with me or get closer than an arm's length to me. Sure, I loved their heroine worship but there had to be more out there. They needed to actually want to know who I was as a person, but no one did. 

I knew Jace loved me. That meant everything to me but he was just my best friend, not my lover. I wanted a guy, a real guy, to love me. I didn't want them to love my name, or my fabulous wardrobe, or full figure, or flowing blonde curls. If a man looked at me the way that guy was-not gawking, but oozing with loving eyes for that slight of a girl-I would do anything for him. I, Anna Cassandra Parker, a 16 year old girl, had never fallen in love. Sure, I've had my first kiss with Jace when we were five, but that was normal. We did everything together. But other than that, I had never really experienced falling in love and being loved back. Heck, I hadn't even been on a date. Yeah, I'd been asked out before, but none of them seemed to catch my eye. Seemed impossible, but yeah, that was the truth. 

Hmph. It would never happen. Not to me. It was the price of having a status of being 'untouchable'. My stomach tightened. Shots of pain started to climb up the back of my head. I took a deep breath and soothed myself. It didn't suck being me. It didn't suck being me. I had everything a girl could want. I had everything anyone could want. 

"Thinking of me?" a deep voice asked. I scrutinized Jace, my eyes scanning up and down at his messy blonde hair and the drops of sweat that were dripping from his forehead. Nevertheless, he still looked unbelievably gorgeous. I shook away the thought as I rested my head on the table and let out a deep breath. 

"Are you okay, AnnaB?" He asked me, concern lacing his voice. What the hell was up with me? I felt sick: sick of life and sick of everything. Of course I was happy to have everything that I had, but I felt like there was always something missing. And there was always something missing. I was pulled back to reality when I felt someone running their fingers through my hair. I snapped my head up, bumping into someone. 

"Ouch," I groaned in pain. I turned to see who that someone was. Whoever they were, they sure did have a head as hard as cement. 

It was Jace. 

"Sorry, AnnaB. I just wanted to make you feel better, but I guess I just made it worse." He looked down. He obviously cared about me, and I would do the same for him. I didn't think I would ever find someone like him, that I could trust my whole life with. 

"Don't stress it out. I love you, JaceyB." I smiled and gave him a hug, inhaling the musky scent of his cologne. 

"I love you too, AnnaB." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. 

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm starving. Would you two stop being all lovey-dovey while I enjoy my lunch here?" We broke apart and saw Seth set his tray on our table and start eating his food like a pig. Yuck. Seth was Jace's other best friend; more like his twin. Sure, Jace and I did almost everything together, but not the boy stuff that he did with Seth. I didn't play football or soccer at all. And I didn't talk about sex like they do. I was way too innocent for that. Gross. 

"What? Don't look at me like you don't eat like this too." Seth chuckled with some bits of food flying out of his mouth. 

"I don't eat like that. Plus, don't you know your manners? Don't eat when your mouth is full. Yuck, I don't even know what girls find in you." I gave him a disgusted face, and then stuck my tongue out in mockery. 

"That's easy. It's because I'm a hot god." He shot me his infamous smirk that made every girl's knees weak, except for me of course. I was immune to the school's players' charms. Yup, you heard me right. My best friend and his best friend were the school's man-whores. Lucky me. Not. 

"Hot god? Yeah, right! Your head is so big that you put the moon out of business. Bitch please; my hair straightener is hotter than you." I chuckled before giving him a smirk. 

"You hav-" He started, but a voice behind me cut him off. 

"Seth, Jace." The voice greeted, probably nodding his head. 

"Nick, my man! What's up, bro?" Seth stood up and gave this guy, or Nick, a weird guy handshake and so did Jace. I rolled my eyes. I seriously didn't get the point of their weird handshake thing. Why didn't they just give each other a kiss on the cheek? Oh, wait. Never mind. That didn't seem right. I laughed out loud, catching the attention of the three. I stopped laughing when I saw who the guy was. 

"So, we meet again." He smirked, his blue-green eyes glinting in ridicule. 

"You've already met, huh?"Jace asked me, his eyes burning in curiosity. 

"Oh, no. We haven't really met. We just passed each other in the hallway," I said quickly, not wanting to recall about what happened earlier. 

"Uh-huh. I think you missed a part there, little girl," Nick said, mockery in his tone. "Let's just say she bumped into a wall." 

Jace and Seth burst into a fit of hysterics. 

I groaned. I didn't really see anything amusing there. "Why are you laughing? It's not even funny. It just proves how manly you are for laughing at a girl!" I threw them a smug expression. "That is, if you even are men."
