Their Dandelion His Daisy

Dandelion's POV

Literally the only thing getting me through this hell of a day, was the fact that when I get home I have band practice and my brothers basketball games.

I was on my way to lunch, the one time a day where I get some actual freedom, when suddenly I heard "Hey Li!" coming from the end of the hallway.

My best friend since birth, our moms were best friends, came running up.

"Hey Jords, what's up"

We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. I'm serious though, our birthdays are two days apart. She has a twin brother named Ryker, who is also one of the coolest guys ever. The three of us are honestly like joined together or something I swear.

"Nothing much, just the only fun part of my day has been crushed by the fact that it is raining" Jordan dramatically sighed and collapsed into my shoulder.

I just started laughing at the whole situation, then Jordan joined in. I'm pretty sure you could hear us laughing from Canada, but whatever.

Then that's when I saw him, Jax Novoa. The guy no one actually knows anything about.

He was known for being this popular, bad boy type guy, but honestly no one knew anything about him. He was like a shadow or he could secretly tele-transport or something. That's honestly a possibility, because he's on the basketball team, he's really good I might add, but I swear I only see him play, then it's like he just disappears out of then air.

However, Shadow, as Jordan and Ryker called him, and me kept making the most awkward eye contact in the history of the world. Seriously, we were in four of five periods together, and I saw him at lunch, in the hallways and somehow either he's always looking at me or I'm always looking at him, because I'm intrigued to see if he's looking at me. Then we'll make this awkward eye contact and then it becomes a competition to see who can break it first, cause I'm pretty sure neither of us wanted to be caught looking at the other.

"Ohhhh, I saw that oh so longing gaze and tremendous, just tremendous, eye contact between you and Shadow there." Jordan sarcastically and jokingly said to me.

"Shut up Jord. It's not my fault he keeps looking at me, and if you say it's cause he likes me, your lying. He's probably just plotting how to murder me or something in all honesty." I said to her.

Every time I tell Jord about him looking at me or she catches us making eye contact, she tease me to no extent and says the most idiotic things ever. She says stuff like how he likes me or I like him. Sometimes she'll just mock me in the middle of the hallway in front of everyone. One time she stared dead into his eyes, pointed to me, then back to him. She made a heart with her hands still looking at him, laughed. Then Jordan, being the person she is, flipped him off. I was so mad and confused at her at the time but I didn't know whether to be pissed, angry, confused, or to just laugh at the whole stupidity of this entire situation. I chose laughing, but was still low key pissed at Jordan for the rest of the week for reasons that are still unknown to me.

"He totally likes you though. It's the only explanation of why you too keep looking at each other." Jordan said looking at me.

"Honestly Jord, he probably doesn't. He doesn't know anything about me, and I sure as hell, just like ninety nine point nine seven percent of the people on this planet, know absolutely nothing about him. So just drop it. Okay." I told her, just wanting to get to lunch to forget everything.

"I'll drop it for now but don't think you escaped cause I'm totally not dropping it no matter what you say. Kay?" She said with an evil smirk grin thing growing on her face. Before I could even reply to that she virtually yelled, "And now off to lunch before I die of starvation." Jordan said happily as she pulled me into the lunch room.

We usually sat outside, but since the great downpour of 2017, was happening outside we decided against that idea. We walked in to the crowded lunch room of socially anxious, seeking approval, fake, and your basic clique of a group tables, spread out over the whole room. We walked through the line to get some of the slightly edible shit, they call food here, and headed to our table.

Our table was weird it was like a combination of jocks, meaning my brothers, and my friends Ryker and Logan. However, we all also played music, which is where Jords and I fit in.
I used to play basketball, that was until I realized it took up to much of my time and that music was more important. Blaise, my brother, Logan, Jordan and I are all in a band. Ryker was going to be in our band, but he already was in one with some other people. But ya so there's that.

You're probably wondering what type of jocks my brothers and the other boys are. Well they all are on the varsity basketball team, except Thorne, whose on the JV team. Considering he's only a sophomore. However, Thorne and Ryker are also on the football team. While Logan plays soccer. So I guess you could say they were popular. But they never used there athleticism as a bullying tool. They could care less about who owns the school. All my brother, Blaise cared about was getting a basketball scholarship. While I was trying to get a music one.

See ever since my mom died it's been a little rough. Blaise, Thorne, and I were heartbroken when it happened. I used to cry myself to sleep each night, over what happened. Dad had the worst, he said it should have been him that was the one that died that he should have been in the car with us, instead of mom. He tore himself up about it everyday. He always felt like he wasn't doing a good enough job to support us and that he was always letting us down. Even though he never could let us down because all he ever did was try to make our lives better after mom died. And because of that my brothers and I are forever grateful to him.

"Li...Li...LI!!!!! Can you hear me" Jordan and Ry were yelling at me until I stopped zoning out.

"Ohhhhh I bet she was thinking about Shadow guys" Logan said. "No way. You don't like him right. He doesn't like you right? Because if you do or he does I'm gonna kill him if he hurts you." Blaise started frantically shouting and freaking out.

"Calm down Blaise, don't get your boxers in a twist. I don't like him and he doesn't like me. So don't worry" I said reassuring my older and extremely over protective brother.

"Good cause I don't know what I would do if you did" Blaise said.

We all went back to talking about nothing till the bell rang signaling fourth period. Two more to go before the end of this hell of day is over and I can go sleep, before I have to go watch basketball for two hours straight. Let's just hope I can avoid Jax at all costs.
