CHAPTER 1
I walked down the hall of this new school, October 19,2013 okay first day, well for me anyways. I looked for locker number 7778. Once I found it there was a charming handsome young man at locker 7777 right next to mine, he smiled and looked at me, I smiled back. I opened my locker
"Hi, I'm Hayes." He said
"Hi, I'm Mercedes."I replied
"Hello Mercedes are you in grade 7?" He asked
"Yeah, are you?" I asked
"Yeah!" He said happily.
"Can you help me with the schedule. I don't get it?" I asked him confused about the schedule.
"Sure, first class is home room with Mrs. Clasien. She is really mean, well to me, anyways after that you have L.A with Ms.Shied she is kinda nice but don't worry I'll be there with you, I'll sit with you, if that's okay?" He asked
"Yeah sure that would be great!" I said trying not to get too excited.
The bell rang Hayes showed me the right books to grab and off the home room we went. When we got there Hayes introduced me to everyone. The bell rang and Hayes brought me to Ms. Shied's room. I sat down and Hayes sat beside me. His eyes were so blue I got lost in them. After school was over I knew I had a crush him. It was killing me that I didn't know if he liked me.
My mom called and said "get your sister and go home, we're going to the Grier's house for supper, look presentable." Then she hung up.
I got home and she made me get dressed. I put on a green tank top and some black leggings, I threw on my grey football hoodie and outside I went. When we got there my sister pushed me to the front door. I'm pretty sure she only did that because mom said there was a boy around her age who lived there. She rang the door bell and a guy with really blue eyes opened the door. She was about to say something when my mom ran up and said
"Nash, oh my you've grown up, now tell me where's your mom and Hayes?" She asked
"Hayes!" I shouted a lot louder than I wanted too.
"What?" Nash asked me sounding confused as everyone turned around.
"Never mind." I said as turning as I ran for the car.
"Mercedes! Get back here and meet Nash and yes Hayes."
"Hello Nash," I said and he totally knew I didn't wanna be there.
"Hey Mercedes." Nash said smiling
Hayes came running down the stairs. When he saw me and blushed. I blushed too. He walked up to me and said
"Hey, Mercedes."
"Hey, Hayes!" I said kinda happily
" I see sparks!" Nash said as Hayes slapped him
"NASH, really dude?" Hayes said pissed off.
"Hayes what was the homework?" I asked trying to change the topic.
"Uh I have it in my backpack come with me I'll show you." He said grabbing my hand.
My face was red.. Brent rang the door bell. Did I mention Brent Rivera is my brother? Well me and him are full blood but my sister is half. (I'm trying to prove that we aren't related but it's not working yet.) Anyways my sister Pyper likes Nash I'm pretty sure, and Nash and Brent are friends, I don't want Pyper to ruin their friendship like she did with Brent and Matthew Espinosa, Brent's former best friend. Hayes and I sat on his bed where his backpack was, he showed me the homework and I pretended to listen but all I was doing was staring into his eyes.
He grabbed my hand and asked how my day went and if I liked the school. I replied by
"It's pretty good so far."
"How many friends do you have so far?" He asked
"One, I think?"I said back, thinking he was going to say we are friends.
"Who?" He asked.
"Uh, You." I regretted it the moment it came out of my mouth.
"Okay good, for a second I thought you were gonna say Brooklyn." He giggled while smiling at me.
"Nah, she hates me. I sat next to her in science and she asked if I liked you and I said as a friend yeah, then she said if I ever had a crush on you, I would suffer." I told him like it was no big deal. He looked shocked.
"Damn it." He was pissed off.
"What's wrong?" I asked trying to sound concerned.
"She's my ex and, not over me, apparently." He was mad.
"Oh. Is that good that I told you that?" I asked.
"Good now I know she's hysterical." He laughed when he said that.
"Haha, yeah I kinda figured after she said that to me." I laughed.
"So did you find anyone that you think is good looking?" Hayes asked.
"Well, kinda."I hoped he would change the topic.
"Who?" He really wanted to know the answer.
"KIDS COME DOWN FOR DINNER!" Both of are moms yelled at the same time.
"OKAY ONE SECOND!" Hayes and I yelled at the same time,
"Just this guy.. I met him at the beginning of the day. He showed me around." I told him as I ran down the stairs.
During supper Hayes kept looking at me and smiling. After supper he said..
"Mercedes can I ask you something?"
