Never Before(Nash Grier/Jack Johnson)

Chapter 3

Haven's POV*
"That's, that's Nash Grier", she breathed. I turned my head around to get a closer look at him. He was pale, woah already he's cute. Yes, I love pale skin, I don't know why, but it's always been cute on a boy for me. Anyways, he had pale skin, short, chestnut hair, and light freckles under his eyes. Oh my god his eyes. They were as blue and beautiful as the sea. He was cute. Alright, he was stunning. He was wearing a plain, grey t-shirt, that fit his torso perfectly. And dark-washed, blue jeans. After scanning his apparel, I glanced down at my own. Shoot. I was wearing.... Overalls?! Haven, calm down. I mean, you just learned his name. I looked up at his beautiful face again. Danget! His eyes met mine, blue on blue. "Hey!" he raised a hand up. "I'm Nash. Nash Grier." I walked up to the fence, as he extended his arm across it. "Haven Roddy", I said politely, while shaking his hand. "So, you just moved in next door, eh?" "Yeah"I replied. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced behind my shoulder, and his smile faded.

Nash's POV*
I shut the back door, and slowly went down the steps. As I was about to put my hat on, I heard feminine voices coming from next door. I usually wouldn't think much of it, because all girls talk about these days is which guy they're gonna grab next. But I heard an unfamiliar, but friendly voice come. The voices had stopped, and I looked over to see what was going on. Right then, I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She had sandy blonde hair, medium skin tone, light blue/green eyes, and looked about 5'6 maybe. She was gorgeous. I was about to hop on the lawnmower, when her small face turned, and my cheeks started to heat up. Nash! Stop blushing... Sometimes I'm annoying. I introduced myself, as I felt my hand raise. She walked over to the fence, so I could see her face clearer. She had tiny, brown freckles on her nose, and under her eyes. "Haven Roddy." She had just moved in next door, and I was just about to ask where she was going for school, until if saw her. Amanda Powell sat across the table, looking at the two of us.
•flashback•
Tonight was the night, my best friend, Amanda and I were going to the carnival. It wasn't a date or anything. Just going as friends. Since the boys couldn't come, we were going alone. We arrived at the carnival, and played a few games, went on a ride, and carved pumpkins together. We were going on our last ride, th Ferris wheel. As we reached the top together, the machine stopped. Ugh, really? "Wow, perfect timing?", she laughed. "I guess so", I said. I soon realized what good timing meant for Amanda. Before I could speak, her lips crashed on mine. I didn't push her off, but this feels really wrong, I thought. Amanda and I are just friends, and I don't want that to change. "Ummm", I pulled away. "Sorry", she says. "Well I thought we were just friends." "Well not anymore", she dropped a load on me. Of course we were stuck on the top. About 2 minutes later, the machine came back on, and we went to the bottom. We hopped off and went towards the line. With that, she shoved through the line, and got a taxi. I tried going after her, but she was way ahead of me.•end of flashback•
We haven't talked, seen, or even looked at each other since then, until today. "Well, I didn't mean to bother you." she spoke. "Nahhh it's perfectly fine", and I meant it. "Well, it was nice meeting you" I said. "Yeah, I guess I'll see you at school Tommorow?" "yeah" I laughed. "See ya.", I started up the lawnmower. I hoped I would see her soon.

Haven's POV*
I walked back to the table, blushing. We returned to our conversation earlier, about our work. "Let's go inside.", she hurried. We went inside, and sat at the counter. "So, what sports do you play?" she asked. Sounding oblivious, of what had just happened. But, I was fine with that, that means she doesn't gossip, which is good. "Well, I run, swim, I'm a gymnast, as well as I play soccer." "Haha that's a lot", "I run, and I'm on the schools junior varsity team for soccer." She said. "Wow you must be pretty good then." "I guess so, you any good?" she asked. "At least I think so..", I said. "There's tryouts on Wednesday, you should come.", Amanda suggested. "That would be fun." Amanda looked down at her phone. "Well, I gotta go! It was fun though!" she said, grabbing her stuff. "Yeah, thanks so much for helping me" I said. "It was nothing.. See you Tommorow!" she shouted. "Bye!", I said while she closed the door. Wait.... SCHOOL. Ugh that will be fun.

•10:30 pm•
It was getting late and I might as well get to sleep. I had school Tommorow. I took a shower, using my special Pantene© shampoo, and conditioner. I got out, wrapped a towel around my body, and dried myself off. I washed my face, and brushed my hair out after the towel had soaked up most of the water. I slipped on a Carolina blue tank top, with polka dot A&F sweatpants. After I brushed my teeth, and had gotten into my bed, my brother raced in, holding up his phone. "Haha! Haven! You gotta see this! It was probably some stupid, youtube video. I was almost correct, until he pressed play. It was quite amusing, it was called "there is no need to be upset"(it's an actual video and it's hilarious!) I mean even the caption, which stated, "Shh no tears, only dreams now, unrustle your jimmies", was hilarious! " okay! Okay!" I said, in between laughs. "Go away now haha." "Alright fine", he said, and walked out of my room. I stood up, once again, to get my charger. And there right across my window, stood another, heavenly distraction. In the window, he was there in his Æ boxers, shirtless, speaking at his phone, literally. I stared at his chest, until he knocked on his window frame, catching my attention. "Can't resist?", he laughed. "Sorry... Haha", I laughed, opening my window. The width between our two homes were only about 2 meters. "So, I never got your number..", he said, I guess just assuming I would give it to him. And he was completely right. He tossed his phone at me, as did I. Then, threw them back with a new contact in each. "Look at you hotshot", I joked. "Ha what?" He asked. "Gettin all the girls around here?" "Like I said, y'all just can't resist." he said, smiling. I couldn't help but giggle. "Hey! It's true!", he said. "Nice try." "it was worth it", he smirked. "Well, I have to go to bed, and not talk to my phone all night." I said. He stifled a laugh, "I was making a vine.." I guess I should follow him, I wonder how many followers he's got. "Okayyyy, well goodnight, see you Tommorow", I said. "You too" he said, shutting his window, and me closing my blinds. I got in bed, and turned off my light, I quickly went on my phone, and followed him. Wow! He has 6mil.... I wonder what I'm getting into. I got a green banner, at the top of my screen from, "Nashypoo" ha wow. "See you Tommorow." "Nighttt🌚", I replied. And with that, I drifted off into sleep, consumed with dreams of what my new school might be like.

Amanda's POV*
That was a relief. Seeing Nash there was just too much to take in. That night was the worst night of my life. It was humiliating, and heart breaking. We haven't spoken to each other since that night. It's all my fault just for a stupid, regrettable thought like we were actually on a date. I mean why would he like me? We were friends, and just that. I wasn't what I'm like now. I won the lottery 1 year ago, and it changed my life. We moved in to this neighborhood, with these huge houses, we didn't have to move to California, and I became popular. It was fun being popular, but also terrible. Because, I know now the only reason I get this attention, is because of the money. The guys come after me now, I get special treatment, I'm used just because I have money. Sometimes I wish we could've just moved to California, and forgotten about all this. Forgotten about Nash. My thoughts were filled with these types of questions, that only I could answer, but somehow also couldn't. As I drifted off to sleep, I hoped I wouldn't have to get involved with Nash, and everything could just stay the same.
