I wake up to my alarm. I turn the power on and I guess I didn't turn down the brightness so I was blinded for a minute. I groan and check my social media. I don't feel like getting out of bed. 'Okay Kierston. You have to get up and look nice today, you've got a boyfriend you need to impress and girls that you need to make jealous' I think to myself. I take a shower then blow dry my hair and use heat protectant especially since I'm going to curl it after. I brush my teeth and then get dressed:

I plug in the wand and check the time, it's 6:10 I'm doing good

I plug in the wand and check the time, it's 6:10 I'm doing good. Right before my phone shuts off, it lights up and vibrates on the counter.

Luc😍😍
Call me when you are up beautiful.

I decide to give him ten minutes. I need to get my hair at least started, but I do wonder how
sexy his morning voice will be. Since he's still half asleep and it's low and raspy. I get in very deep thought about this and then finish up my hair.
'damnit i forgot to call him.'
6:45
I call him and it rings for a little before he answers.
"Hey beautiful."
"Hi handsome."
"How'd you sleep?"
"I slept okay. Did you?"
"Oh I slept amazingly. Probably due to the fact I went to bed happy."
"Luc, that's what happens when you've a great girlfriend."
"True. But this is what happens when you've got a great boyfriend."
"Luc what are y-"
*knock-knock*
I hang up and open the door to see Lucas with a coffee and a raspberry and cream cheese scone:

(A/N: I can't lie, those look bomb as hell) I stare in awe at how sweet he is. I smile and blush. "Thank you," I say grabbing them and putting them on the end table. Then I walk back to him. "BOYFRIEND!" I yell pulling him into an embrace. When we pull I apart I kiss him. It wasn't intimate because, who even does that before 7? I'm not even fully awake by 9 what in the ev- anyway. It was short but sweet. I invite Lucas inside.
"You can sit down if you want. I'm not completely ready."
Lucas walks in and closes the door. I go back to the mirror and start putting on mascara.
"You don't need to wear makeup," Lucas says as he kisses me on my shoulder. "You're already reallllly pretty," he says very cheesy with a big grin on his face. I giggle and then start to blush. "Okay fine. I won't do full face, only mascara because otherwise my eyelashes aren't there." He laughs. "Alright deal."
He lightly smacks my butt when he walks back to the counter to grab his coffee. It smells really good. I hurry up to finish my second coat because now I'm hungry. I grab one of the scones and let me tell you- these things are so good. "Lucassss," he looks over.
"Yes?"
"Did your mom make these?"
He nods.
"Where did she learn to cook? Oh my gosh these are amazzinnnggg."
With a slight laugh he replies, "I'll let her know you're a fan."
"Oh, the biggest." We both laugh.

After small talk and finishing our coffee we head to school. It's cool because his locker is across from mine. We only have about half of our classes together but it's not like I need him every second of the day. I'm not clingy like that. I see Peyton and tell her when we have 4th mod together. It's the first time I see her everyday.
"So Peyton. Guess who's not single."
She looks really surprised, happy, and intimated at the same time. "Oh my gosh who are you with?"
"Lucas?"
"Really?! Aww, sissy's got a boyfriend!"
We laugh.
"So Peyton. Who are you crushing on?"
"You better not tell him."
"I won't. Who is it?"
"Jake."
"Aw, you guys would be so cute though. Have you tried anything?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know. Hanging out with him, flirting?"
"I mean it doesn't work out but I've approached him."
"So here's what you need to do. Approach him, be flirtatious but not too available, get him into the conversation, then walk away."
"How would that work?"
"You'll see. Just go." I nudge her in the direction of his desk where he's talking to his friends. I see them causally talking then Jake looks like he's into the conversation. That's when Peyton looks at me and I slightly throw my head back to signal at her. She says something and then goes to walk away.
"Hey-wait." He says stopping her.

She walks back a minute later just before the bell rings. "How'd it go?" I whisper behind her.
"We are hanging out today after school," then she makes quotation marks with her hands. "To continue the conversation." I feel proud. 
I put my hand out and she high fives it. That a girl, I think to myself.

The bell rings and finally the school day is over. I walk back to my locker and grab my stuff. I'm a little shorter so I got up on my toes to see if I needed anything off of the top shelf. All of a sudden: *WACK!* Somebody slaps my ass really hard. In the background I hear him say "Damnnnn girl." I put my stuff down and turned around to see who it was. I know it wasn't Lucas because we mess around but he would disrespect me like this. "Okay do not EVER touch my ass again for one. For two, if you want to get with a girl learn how to not be an ass. Treat her with respect." By now my face is red because this immature peasant little boy got me pissed. Lucas must know what happened because he walks up and says, "and for three she's already taken. Hands off my girl. Get the hell out of here before I beat you to a pulp. GO!" He yells. The kid runs away. He turns to me. "Hi babe."
"That was hot," I chuckle.
"Well nobody is supposed to touch you but me."
I kiss him. "You don't have to worry about that." I grab my stuff, close my locker, and then Lucas puts his arm behind my back.
He looks down at me, "You're mine."
