I wake up the next day in the guest bedroom. I look at my phone and it's 7:00 am I sigh and make my way out the guest room. Jackson is already up making his lunch.

"Morning sunshine" he says smiling.

"Morning" I replied tiredly. "I'm gonna head to my house and grab some clothes see ya at school"

I start walking to the door and but was interrupted by the sound of Jackson's voice. "You walking to school or are you catching the bus?"

"Walking." I reply.

"K meet ya in 30 at your house" he says.

I roll my eyes and walk out the door and head to my house. I grab my clothes and do my hair and makeup in like 10 minutes. So I grab my stuff and sit on the couch and get on my phone. I text Maya.

Me- hey what's up
Maya-nothing what bout you
Me-well guess who I officially met yesterday
Maya-idk who?
Me-I'll give you a hint. It's a boy.
Maya-NEIGHBORS!😆😆😆

Maya- sweetheart we are basically twins😂
Me-WE ARE FROM NOW ON TWINS!!😆
Maya- yep so what happened?
Me- well I met him in 3rd period and after 6th I was about to walk home but he came to my locker and asked if I needed a ride I said it was fine and he told he brother I was even thou I didn't want too and then my mom text me saying that no one was home and Jackson invited me to stay and begged until I said yes so I did and then we rode dirt bikes for the remainder of the day.
Maya-😳 wow

I was interrupted but the door bell.
Me-well I gtg Jacksons here.
Maya- are you guys together or something?
Me-NO we're just friends.
Maya-okkkk😉 lol anyway I'll ttyl bye.
Me-byeeee👋🏻

I got up and got the door to see Jackson in jeans and a light blue shirt. I smiled and he smiled back as we made our way to school.

"Lucas is gonna meet me at school but I don't know what he is doing he should have been home at 6:00 but he wasn't" Jackson explained.

I shrugged "maybe he got caught in traffic?"

"Maybe" he shrugged back and sighed.

What was wrong? I can tell they there is something going on...I hate seeing him like that...

I grabbed his binder and started running. He laughed and chased after me. Once he got to me he grabbed me my back facing towards him and picked me up. I kicked my legs laughing and gave him back him binder he put down.
He ran off saying "Race ya" I laughed and chased after him.

After we got to school we walked in the front and went to breakfast. His brother was there and with like 20 other people sitting in the same area I knew most of them so we sat there. I talked to my friend next to me and Jackson kept trying to annoy me. He kept poking me so I slapped him on the top of his hand and he grabbed it in his defense. He let go of my hand and smiled. I smiled back.

After breakfast we went to P.E.  finally Jackson left me alone and we made our separate ways. Well...we were still in the same class...but in roll call order.

"Soooo I saw you with the new boy today,are you guys like together or something?" Michaela said.

"What? No we are just friends!" I replied.

"Sureeee" Michaela teased.

"WE ARE!" I said.

"Ok ok fine!" Michaela said.

After 1st and 2nd everyone was talking about me and Jackson. I don't know why but the were. I wasn't even talking about him. Or too him.

Once I got to lunch I sat down and Jackson sat by me. He got out two cokes and handed me one.

"Thanks Jackson."I said.

"No problem Lana"he replied.

"I'm Jackson, do you mind if I call you Lana?" He asked.

Suddenly I had got a text from my phone for Maya.

Maya-Look up

I looked up and there Maya was. With her school supplies and her binder. I got out of my seat and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing here?! I thought your dad wouldn't let you stay with your mom?" I questioned.

"Well me and my step mom were fighting so bad that he couldn't take it so he chose her instead of me and Emily and kicked us out so we moved here." She said shrugging.

"Oh I'm sorry..." I said.

"It's fine I was gonna go to court to move with my mom anyway so it doesn't really matter." She replied.

"Well what's important is that your ok. So what's your schedule?" I asked.

She handed me her schedule. We had every class together!

"OH MY GOD WE HAVE EVERY CLASS TOGETHER!!!" I squealed.

"YAY" she squealed back.

The rest of the day everyone was asking if me and Jackson were a couple I said no every time but no one listens and they keep asking. Of course me and Maya sat together all day. After 6th period I walked her to her locker and then we went to mine. Jackson came over.

"Hey are you walking home" he said to me and waved at Maya. She waved back then he brought his attention back to me.

"Yea we are walking home. Why?" I asked.

"Lucas is going somewhere." He said "Is it ok if I walk with you guys home?" He asked.

I nodded and we made our way home once we got home Jackson hugged me and said bye. After he went inside Maya turned to me.

"Are you sure your not dating?" She asked.

I nodded and rolled my eyes. "I've been asked this all day"

She laughed and I smiled and we made out ways to our houses. We waved goodbye and I went inside and sat on my bed.

He can't like me right? No we are just friends... right?
