Love Not Wanted

Chapter One

My alarm started ringing and i shot up out of my bed. Ugh it was Monday. Almost two months into the school year and i still wasn't used to waking up this early. I practically crawled to my bathroom and turned on the light. I flinched slightly at my insane bed head and threw myself into the shower. After forever i finally came out a spun around my room trying to find something to wear.

My phone beeped and i saw that it was a text message from my friend Jessica

Hurry Carson, we're almost at your house.

I quickly type back K and rush downstairs to get some breakfast. "Morning mom" I say as i walk into the kitchen. I go and kiss my mother on the cheek before i grab an apple and head outside "Have a nice day Carson" My mom yells behind me. I realize that i left my bracelet in my room, it's old and rusting but without it I feel naked. I run upstairs to get it. I hear a car horn honking downstairs. I scream "coming" as if they can here me from in the car.

I make my way down the stairs and out the front door to see Dylan's black Mercedes parked in my driveway. I open the door and get plop down next to Nick. I kiss him on the cheek and then I am so kindly greeted by Jessica "Goddamn it! what were you doing in there? Making your outfit, which is super cute by the way" I laugh as Dylan pulls out of the driveway. "No i forgot something" I'm pretty much used to Jessica's snarky comments "Was it your watch? Seriously what took you so long?" Jessica hates being late for school "Chill Jess" Dylan, Nick's brother as well as Jessica's boyfriend, says.

"Whatever as long as we get there on time" Jessie pouts and starts playing with the radio. "So... How was your weekend?" Nick asks me "Nothing much just studding for Mr. Gomez's test today" Dylan starts laughing which upsets me "Whats so funny pickle" He starts scowling at his nickname "Of course you were studying all weekend"

According to my friends i am considered "the nerd" of the group, If i cared. So what if i love books and math class... okay maybe not math class. "Yes because studying ensures that you get into a good college. You might wanna try it" I snap "Yea maybe i would if i wasn't graduating" Dylan smirks at me from his rear view mirror and i roll my eyes at him. Dylan is a senior while the rest of us are juniors. I noticed Nick wasn't being his usual sarcastic self "Hey Nick how was your date this weekend?" He looks up and I see in his eyes he was just waiting for me to ask "Oh it was just treacherous!" He puts his hand up to his heart dramatically. I roll my eyes ready for the dramatic story "He just wanted me for my body, not my fabulous personality" I start laughing "Could you blame him?" I reply in hopes of raising his spirits

At first glance anyone could fall for Nick. With his brown hair and sexy eyes. He's a total catch. I totally had a crush on him, even asked him out once. That date ended up with him practically throwing up on me when i tried to kiss him. I blame it on the food but it's no coincidence that the next day he came out of the closet.

We turn into school park and get out of the car. Jessie on Dylan's arm and me on Nick's we make our way to class. All eyes were on us as usual as we make our way down the hall. I wouldn't consider us as "popular" but with Dylan being the star quarterback it is almost inevitable. We are not the most conventional popular clique but i would be lying if I said everyone didn't know our name and that people don't pave paths for us when we walk. I mean Jessie is a cheerleader for crying out loud!

The day goes on from there, pretty unextraordinary. I make my way to lurch from my calculus class. I see Jessie standing around with her bratty cheerleader friends. She sees me and excuses herself from them. As she's walking to me she's rolls her eyes. "Hey Queen B" I say to her as we both walk with our lurches to our regular table. Nick and Dylan along with a bunch of Dylan's football friends are already at the table.

I take my usual seat next to Nick and trow myself into the conversation "Yes i totally heard that Nicole might be pregnant" the linebacker whose name i forgot says "I guess we'll see in a couple months" one of the cheerleaders says "Not if she fixes the problem, if you know what i mean" another cheerleader adds. I roll my eyes and turn to Nick. We start talking about useless things until the bell rings.
