Just Friends? ~~

It's a warm morning in Seattle and it's also the first day of second semester, if I'm being completely honest. I'm actually really excited. Last semester didn't go so well. My ex-boyfriend Tyler cheated on me and after that I just felt so lonely. I started going to parties every week, getting drunk, talking to people I wouldn't usually talk to and overall it was just a really terrible semester. Second semester I'm going to focus on my grades and try not to stuff up as bad as last time. I haven't really thought about getting a boyfriend, it's not one of my main priorities. I just don't want to go through all that crap again.

I look at the time and it's already 7. I need to get to school by 7:30, so that I can meet up with Courtney and Emma. Courtney's been my friend since birth. We've spent nearly all our lives together and were like sisters. As for Emma, I only met her last year at a party and ever since then we've just clicked, we've only grown closer.

I quickly put on a pair of tight jeans and a nice sweater to go along with it, I put just enough makeup to cover up any dark circles or zits. I head down stairs, say a quick goodbye to my mom, hop in the car and before I know it I'm already around the corner from the school.

The first people I lay my eyes on are Courtney and Emma. They're both waiting for me outside of the school with 2 other guys.

I walked over to where they're standing and realize that one of the two guys is, Tyler. Great.

I greet both Courtney and Emma with a kiss on the cheek and a half hug. I turn around and give my ex-boyfriend and a complete stranger a sweet smile. The guy that's standing next to Tyler has curly, long dark brown hair, his wearing black tight jeans with a black loose top.

'Jess this is Harry, he just moved here, from England.'

'Im Jess' I greet Harry with a warm smile.

As Harry was opening his mouth beginning to say something, tyler interrupts.

'Jess, can we talk?' He gives me a shy look.

'I think we've done enough talking Tyler.' I storm off. I hear someone follow after to me but I don't look back. I already know it's going to be Tyler.

I get to my locker and the footsteps have drifted. I quickly get the books out of my locker and speed walk down the hall to get to the class I'm already late to.

All of a sudden I'm on the ground with my books scattered everywhere.

Someone kneels down next to me and I recognize the face, it's the guy that I met earlier, Harry.

'Sorry I didn't see you there' he gives me a sympathetic smile.

'Its fine, I'm sorry I should've looked where I was going' I look up at his body now hovering over me. Harry hands me some of the books that fell to the ground, along with some papers that had fallen out.

'Jessica right?' He says with a smirk.

'You can just call me Jess' I return the small smile.

'See you around Jessica' he says with his strong accent while walking off to class. Which leaves me alone in the halls just processing what just happened. Why does he call me Jessica?
