Blake's Playbook

Valerie Rose

Valerie's POV;

My morning started off with a run but not the type that you would think, my dog Zayn got out the house and now i am currently running after him, only wearing a pair of bright yellow spongebob pajama shorts and a tank top.

"Zayn, get back here" I shout

Zayn takes off down the block and he is quiclkly getting out of sight, I start to pick up the pace knowing that if I lose Zayn i'll never hear the end of it. Once i finally catch up with Zayn i call out to him again

"Come Here Boy" i coax

Zayn responds by running back down the block into the street.

A bright green Jeep Wrangler stops just before hitting Zayn and a handsome, muscular male around my age steps out the car. He wraps his hands around Zayn and looks up and meets my eyes. Man he was good looking with his peircing crystal blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair...Maybe I should let Zayn out more ofen.

I jog over to the car and say

"Thanks, I couldn't catch up with him for the life of me"

"It's fine... Are you from here?" he curiously asked

"Nah we just moved here from Denver" I respond

"Well if you need a tour guide..." he says flirtaously

"Who knows.. I might take you up on that" I also reply Flirtaously

"Well my name is Brody..What's yours?"

Before i could respond Zayn gets out of Brody's grip and starts to run off.

"See you around" I say as i run after Zayn

Zayn eventually runs back to the house and I sigh deeply knowing this day is already off to a crazy start

After I shower and throw on a floral printed dress and some sandals, I finally look at the clock and realize that it's almost the end of second period at this new school

I run to my garage and get my bike ( Man I wish I had a car) I start furiously pedaling remembering the route mom had shown me yesterday night. When I finally arrive at the school I realize how big it actually is from the pictures on the website.

I grab the schedule that was mailed to me over the weekend and attempt to find wherever Mr.Hales chemistry class is, I glance at the clock and realize that I only have a few minutes to make it before the late bell rings for third period. As I'm walking through the halls looking for room 309 I hit something hard and my schedule falls out of my hands. As I bend down to pick it up I hear a crude remark come out of the hard object. I look up to see a handsome boy with clearly a nasty attitude, I hate those kind of boys. I twist my mouth into a frown and then promptly step on his foot. As he looks down at his foot to see if I actually did that, I begin to walk away but I have to turn back to flip him off so he knows he shouldn't mess with me.

When I finally reach room 309 I try to discretely sneak into class and find an empty seat but of course that's not how life goes for me

"Excuse me miss, your 10 minutes late to my class and I can't say I recognize you?" He asked curiously

" I'm Valerie Rose, I'm new to the school" I attempt to say sweetly

"Oh yes! I was told that I would have a new student in my class, take a seat next to Mr.Young, and please next time don't be late to my class." He said while pointing to a familiar looking face

As I sit down in the seat next the familiar looking boy, I realize that he was the handsome guy that stopped my dog

"Crazy running into you here" I say jokingly to him

"Totally, but now I know your name" he also replies jokingly

"Sorry about that this morning, like most things in my life it was hectic"

"It's cool, so how do you like the school from what you can see?"

" well it's huge which is really bad for me because I am prone to getting lost"

"Well if you need directions I'm your guy"

Before I knew it the bell rang and it was time to go to my next class and I look over my schedule again to see that I have English next and then I can enjoy a nice lunch break, Brody apparently sees my schedule because he excitedly says

"Wow, we have lunch together, you should come find me in the cafeteria if you can't find a table to sit at"

"I might take you up on that offer" I shout as I begin to head down the hall searching for my English class. I finally reach my English class (on time!) and I take a seat near the window, when the class finally starts I begin to zone out the teachers voice and think about that jerk from this morning, how could someone so handsome be such an asshole?. My thoughts are abruptly stopped by a commotion going on in class

"Yeah I broke up with him!, but that doesn't mean a skank like you can date him" The girl says harshly

"But I liked him way before you two started going out" the other girl said bravely

"Okay, embarrass yourself by trying to get with him, like why would he lower his standards after dating me?" She said confidently

The teacher ended this argument before it escalated even more by separating the two apart, which was bad for me because the teacher put the mean looking girl in the seat right next to mine.

The girl looked at me up and down when finally she said

" Are you like new!?"

"Yeah, I'm Valerie" I say softly

"Well welcome to Carver!, my name is Kayla, if you have any questions about what goes on here you can ask me" she says before she takes out her notebook

I say "thanks" and start writing down the notes the teacher apparently had been writing on the board. English class eventually ended and I packed up my things and started heading toward the cafeteria that I passed by on my way to chemistry.

I arrive in the cafeteria and head for the lunch line , I promptly grab an apple and get off the line. I look around trying to see if there is any empty seats when i see Brody flailing his arms in the air as if he was trying to get my attention. I walk over to him and take a seat next to him.

"What's up Rose" he ask

"Only fifth period and you've given me a nickname?" I say jokingly

"Of course we're about to become best buds" he says laughing

I can't help but smile realizing that Brody will probably become my first guy friend here at this school

Brody then starts so wail his hands again as he calls out for another person

"Blakeeeeeeeee" he shouts

A few minutes later the same jerk from this morning comes to the table and gives Brody a fist bump, the jerk suddenly looks over at me and realizes that I'm the same girl from this morning.

Fuck my life
