Melody's pov

The next few days were all the same; torment, tiredness, and over all boredom.

Today was the last day of junior year, and I was excited the work was over, but I would miss my escape from home.

It was the last period of the day and I overheard some girls talking.

"OMG did you hear one of the guys from the band Why Don't We is coming here. Portland, Oregon" one of them said.

"What if you meet him and fall in love. Like a summer love story" said another.

"Awww those stories are so cute" the last girl said and the rest giggled.

I don't really keep up with the new popular music and such, so I just rolled my eyes and answered the last few questions I had to do.

"Hey Melody, what are your summer plans?" said the most popular guy in school, Harry. He was notorious for having multiple girls swoon over him at a time. I mean could you blame them; he had gorgeous green eyes and dark brown hair. He was the captain of practically every sports team the school had.

That's why I started sweating and mentally hyperventilating. Boys usually make me nervous; anything I can't control makes me nervous.

"No" I mustered out.

Then, as if the gods were having mercy on me, the bell rang and I rushed out. From the corner of my eye I saw Harry scoff and laugh with his friends. Way to prove my point Harry, that the boys in my school were a waste of time.

Dani was different though. He understood me and made me feel so loved and appreciated.

*flashback*

"So, what kind of guys have you dated in the past? Captain of the football team of mathletes, or wait the chess club" he said

"Well, believe it or not, none of them" I replied.

"Oh I get it you are into the theater geeks" He said.

"No, I mean none at all. Dating has not really been my thing" I responded.

"Then all of those guys are missing out on one beautiful human" and with that he gave me a kiss on the cheek.

*end of flashback*

Once I got home, I made my way to the staircase, but only got halfway up until my mother stopped me.

"Since last summer you stayed with Aunt Jess, you are going to get a job this summer. You'll need the money for college, though you will get into one is undecided. I also won't be covering the expenses for college, so you are on your own" she said.

"But colleges costs hundreds and thousands of dollars. Even if I work 12 hours every day of the summer I will never be able to get that much money" I argued.

"Well that's not my problem" she said with nothing but pure coldness in her voice and then walked off.

I was not one to talk to my brother about my problems, because he had always been a momma's boy, which meant she convinced him to hate me too. But, I took a chance and knocked on his door.

"Hey, can I ask you a question?" I asked

"Sure, I guess" he replied.

"Are you going to college?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Are you paying for it?" I questioned.

"God no. Again what is this about?" he answered.

"Oh nothing, just curious" I lied.

I didn't want to tell him my real problem because I knew he wouldn't care. Then I made my way out.

"Oh wait, Melody" Miles yelled.

"What?" I responded.

"I'm going to a party tomorrow at my friend's house. You interested?" he asked.

Wait did I just hear that right? Did my brother just invite me to a social event that he will be at?

"Uh, sure I guess. You are going to drive me right?" I said.

"Of course" he answered.

"Cool."

Then we went back into our own bedrooms and I ran and jumped on my bed. Am I seriously going to my first high school party tomorrow? I didn't know whether I should jump for joy or throw up.

Don't forget to smile, vote, comment, and possibly share!

Love, Kylie<3
