What Happened to Us

Chapter 1: Kayla

~Kayla~

I woke up unexpectedly.  I always do when I get nervous or excited.  I checked my phone. 6:25. Great. I lay there thinking of how my day will be. Well, as long as Jeremiah Daniel Paul Wayne won't be in my class then my day would be perfect.  That stupid jerk. That stupidly georgeous jerk.  The way he looks at me with those hazel eyes and the way his hair falls perfectly just above his eyes. Wait, what am I thinking?! Ugh! I swear, this is the effect of boys.

My phone vibrates. 

Hey sleepy-head! Wake up! Im pickin u up with Ethan today! He got his new car over the summer. Get ready! - Dian Reed

That's how my bestfriend greets me. We practically go to school together everyday. But I'm guessing that these days, I'll be going to school with Dian and Ethan. I got out of bed. My brother, Joshua, is still asleep next door. I'm pretty sure my parents are awake since I hear the rattling of plates and the tv downstairs. I got out of my room after fixing my bed. 

"Good Morning, honey." My mom greeted me with a smile. "Is Dian coming here?"

"No. She's just stopping by. We're having a ride." I told my mom with a croaky voice.

"Alright then." She replied.

My mom was too busy preparing breakfast for my brother and my dad. I only have time for cereal so I got my cereal bowl and the Honey-Bunches of Oats cereal, which was by the way half full. I watched the tv with my dad, who was also eating the same thing I was, except he's going to eat later again. Much like an appetizer. After I finished my cereal, I placed the bowl into the sink and headed upstairs to take a shower. The cold water was refreshing. I blow dried my hair and realized that I had a light dark circles. I slept late last night, thanks to my brother who was annoying me about helping him with his things for school. Like seriously, he is such a baby.  I decided to wear a teel button down shirt over a plain black tank top with dark jeans and my favorite black high top converse. I wore some BB cream and mascara topped with red lipstick- that isn't too intense. 

Were here!! Hurry up. -Dian Reed

I checked myself once more in the mirror and hurried downstairs. I told my parents and Joshua, who was barely awake, that I was leaving. I ran out the door and saw Dian waving her hands crazily at me. I smiled. Ethan had a satisfied grin. My eyes lit up when I saw his car. It was the first time I saw it. It was a black Volvo s60, which totally matches Ethan. I went in the backseat. The radio was in 104.3 my FM, which is my favorite station! The smell of coffee filled the air. We headed to the school.

"Hey Kayla!" Dian said cheerfully."What do you think of Ethan's car?" 

"It suits him perfectly," I remarked.

"I know right!!"

"Damn. You look terrible," Ethan joked. "Got any sleep last night?"

Dian slapped his arm playfully. "Don't listen to him. You look like a beauty. No lie. With an exception of those black thingies under your eyes."

I groaned. "Thanks a lot" 

She giggled. "By the way, here's your coffee. Caramel Macchiato. Your favorite!!"

"Awee... Thanks!" I said and reached for the drink. It was delicious as always.  

We finally reached the parking lot of the school. I got out of the car first and Dian and Ethan followed. They were holding hands.  I envy them.  I just thought maybe I could be as happy as them. Dian had liked Ethan ever since our sophomore year.They started dating around the second month of our junior year.  Now we're seniors. One more year through this and were finally off.  Dian and Ethan had been perfect for each other. I knew it ever since Dian told me she liked him. Ethan is one of the football players of the school football team, together with other jocks that Dian and I can't seem to reach.  They had been together for almost a year now and they just seem to adore each other more and more each day, unlike other couples who break up after a month or two.  That is the relationship I want though no guy seems to be like Ethan and have interest in me at the same time. Besides, guys like him are extinct nowadays. I forced myself to not pay attention to their lovey-dovey stuff. There I saw coming out of the black coupe Nissan Altima, was him. Jeremiah Wayne. I looked at him as he scanned the crowed. And then he saw me. Our eyes locked for about 3 seconds and then I looked away. Afraid of what he'll think, I walked towards Dian and Ethan who were talking about having the same classes. When we reached the entrance of the school, I turned around and looked at the parking lot. It wasn't very far to see that Jeremiah Wayne was with his football friends mixed with cheerleaders. One of them was around his arms. 

"What's wrong?" Dian asked worriedly.

"Nothing," I replied and took the frown out of my face.
