I'LL ALWAYS HAVE YOU

"Levi!"

The boy was always so late for everything. Whether it was having the perfect hair or forgetting to charge his phone, Levi always had something preventing from being on time.

Maddison picked up a stone from Mrs. Cornblume's garden, getting ready to aim it at the pretty boy's window.

Unfortunately, Levi appeared in the doorway before she could start her stone throwing.

"Very Romeo of you, Maddison." Levi smirked and Maddison rolled her eyes so far back that she swore she saw her brain.

The two began walking to there high school, getting excited for the first game of the football season. Levi, being the team captain, was a bit nervous.

"What if we don't win? All those football scholarships, out the window!" He comments, making a large gesture with his free hand that wasn't interlocked with Maddie's.

"Not all of them."

"That's encouraging." He responds sarcastically and Maddie roles her eyes once again.

"You honestly worry way to much." She states, looking up at her 'boyfriend' who was running a hand through the mop of curls on his head.

"But-" "this is only the first game of the season! And now that you're a senior, you'll get to play more this year. Not to mention you're the captain."

He tilts his head, thinking for a moment "I guess your right."

"Aren't I always?"

"No. Definitely not."

"I'm not sure why you're not totally abusing this power!"

Taylor Grant, the head of the school paper, was seated against a bookcase in the back of the library. Maddison sat beside her, rolling her eyes.

"I don't need it." Maddison assured, though she'd rather be popular for her writing rather than being head cheerleader.

"Everyone loves your stuff! It's not like you're gonna get bullied or anything!"

Maddie shivered, remembering the horrid eighth grade where she spent more time with her head down a toilet than breathing.

"The whole point of an advice columnist is that it's super secret. If people don't know who there revealing to, they won't be scared about doing it." Maddie assured Taylor, pushing her glasses up on the bridge of her freckled nose.

"So your gonna let Prilla Stockwell get all the fame?" Maddie laughed at the pretentious name she picked and nodded, focusing back on her computer.

"Whatever you say, Mads."

Taylor got up from her spot on the floor and tugged at the bottom of her tweed mini skirt and headed for the exit. She waved at Maddie before disappearing into the hallway.

Maddie didn't really know why she was so afraid of letting everyone know that she was the geeky advice columnist who answered all of the student's problems. She'd most likely be accepted, but what if she wasn't as good as they'd expect her to be?

What if Prilla Stockwell was more popular than Maddison Ashfall?

She didn't wanna know what'd happen than. She shook her head and glanced back at her computer screen.

"You're completely embarrassing me right now!"

The cheer squad and the football team were seated on the bleachers, supposed to be watching the marching band practice for the game.
