Chapter 2 Jc's POV

Jc's POV

I was looking in the mirror at myself. Blue vans, check. Cloud beanie, check. "Okay, and I need to get my pictures." I said to myself. This was weird, living alone, having to do everything for myself. Being 18 is weird. "Okay, school." I lived 10 minutes away from the school so I grabbed my penny board and and Arizona and began skating to school.

"Hello, can I help you?" Said the old woman in the office.

"Uh, yeah. I'm new here, and uhh, I think I was supposed to get my schedule here. Right?" I think she could tell I was nervous because she smiled and handed me a map of the school.

"Yes you do. Name?"

"Justin Castillo."

"Okay Justin..." I hate when people call me Justin so I cut her off.

"People call me Jc."

"Oh, okay Jc, here is your schedule and locker number. Also you can leave your skateboard here. They aren't allowed in lockers." She said holding her hand out to me.

I handed her my penny board. "Okay, thank you."

I had my pictures in my hand and was walking down the hall looking for my locker. "Number 321" I whispered to myself. I walked over to my locked and tried to hold my pictures and get my locker open. "Shit!" I exclaimed as I dropped a book.

"Hey you need help there?" I heard a soft voice say.

I jumped a little and looked at her. Wow. She is gorgeous. "Um, yes please." I responded handing her my photos. I managed to get my books and tea in my locker. I looked back up at her and she was looking through my pictures. God she probably thinks I'm a freak for carrying pictures of my family with me. "Thank you" I said taking my pictures back from her and placing them in a neat pile in my locker.

"No problem, I'm Shayla." She held out her fist for a fist bump, which was weird, but maybe it's a west coast thing.

"Jc, I just moved here from Texas." I doubt she cared that I was from Texas but I told her anyway.

"Well Jc, it's great to meet you but I must be going to my class so, I'll see you later." She said turning around and waving. She was so cute and had a fine booty. I think I'll look for her later.

I went to my first class. Senior English. "Good morning class today we will be reading chapter 8 of Huckleberry Finn. Also, we have a new student, his name is Justin." She motioned toward me and asked me to give 5 facts about myself.

"Okay well, 1, I go by Jc, I moved here by myself from Texas, I love skateboarding, I have a dog named Wishbone, and my birth middle name is cloud but I changed it to Caylen."

I was on my way back to my desk when I heard some girl say "oh, you're from Texas? Country boys are cute." I mean she was cute but she had nothing on Shayla. I wanted to get to know Shayla.

I sat uncomfortably on my phone texting my mom.

To: Mom

I don't know about being on my own mom.

To: Jc

You'll be fine sweetie. You wanted to move and be on your own.

To: Mom

Thanks mom, love you.

To: Jc

Love you too!

The bell rang and I went to my next class and saw a guy with a flower crown. He seemed cool so I went over to him. "Hi I'm Jc, I like your flower crown."

"Hey thanks! I'm Kian, and this is Ricky" he said pointing to a guy wearing a Pokémon shirt. "Are you new here?" Kian asked sitting down at a table.

"Yeah, I am. Is there assigned seating?"

"No, you can sit with us!" Ricky said pulling a chair out for me.

I sat and said thank you. "Where are you from?" Kian asked me.

"Texas."

"Well Jc from Texas, would you like to come over to my house today after school? I can drive you."

"Yeah man sounds great!"

It was lunchtime and I was walking around outside looking for an empty table. I saw someone familiar. I walked up behind her and saw she was looking at my insta. "Wow, stalking me?" I said jokingly.

She looked nervous and scared "ummm, I followed you."

"Thanks, Ill follow you back" I said sitting next to her. My god she was gorgeous. I loved looking at her cherry red hair and how she played with it when she was nervous.

We talked about school and she was flirting with me a little. "Well, do you want to come over after school?"

I wanted to say yes so bad. I was regretting saying yes to Kian and Ricky, but I was in no position to pass up friends. I was so happy that she agreed to hang out with me tomorrow.

The next couple classes seemed to drag on for years. When finally the bell rang. I ran to the office to get my penny board. I saw Ricky there getting his too. "Good taste" I said pointing at his board.

"Thank you, haha. Kian is at his locker so we can meet him there."

We walked over to Kian and started for his car. I saw a girl standing over at his car. She was beautiful. I was jealous that a girl like that was with Kian. We got closer and I saw her. It was Shayla. Did Kian know that she asked me to hang out? Is she cheating on him? I panicked a little when she looked at me confused and said "hey Jc, what's up?"

I tried to play it cool. I didn't want one of my only friends to be mad. "Hey what are you doing here? Are you friends with Kian and Ricky too?"

She laughed. "Kian's my brother!"

THANK GOD!

"Did you say no to hanging out with me because of Kian?" She was laughing so hard. Her laugh was so cute.

"Wow, what?" Kian asked confused.

Shayla was explaining to him what happened, but I wasn't listening. I was too busy listening to her laugh, and thinking about how the night would go.
