Chapter One:

When I was a kid, I was twig thin and I would always get comments from my relatives saying how I needed to 'eat more' and 'put some meat on my bones.' Being so young, I didn't really pay them any mind, but as I got older and hit puberty, my self esteem started to kick in. I started to put on just enough weight, as I filled out, to give me decent curves. I wasn't exactly twig thin anymore, especially since I filled out really well. I was a B cup in the chest area and I had my mother's full butt. My brown hair had grown past my shoulders in luscious waves and my light olive skin was clear of any acne.

I had really filled out over the summer and people really noticed my petite 5'2'' frame in the first week of my freshman year. People like the hot and popular baseball player, Mick Everett. He was a playboy and everyone knew it, but he was so attractive with his blue eyes and golden locks, that no one seemed to mind. Every girl wanted him and every guy wanted to be him; you know the cliche. I was just too busy with my studies to really notice him... at first, but Mick was never one to give up. It took him an entire month to get me to notice him and, even then, I didn't really give in right away. He bought me gifts all the time and sent them to me during class. I honestly didn't mind the attention, but I wasn't completely liking it either. Being a girl with only one true friend your entire life can do that to you.

Around late October, I was so focused on my homework that I almost didn't hear him ask me to be his girlfriend. If it hadn't been for the collective gasps from the eavesdropping females in the library surrounding the table that I was occupying, then I probably wouldn't have noticed at all. I looked up at him in shock and somewhat awe. I nodded wordlessly because I really couldn't say no to one of the hottest guys in school.

He was the perfect doting boyfriend. He walked me to class and held my hand in public and I knew every girl was jealous of me. Mia Harrow, my one best friend, was constantly telling me of the gossip she would overhear about me from other girls. I didn't really mind because Mick made me happy and I would even help him with his homework in Spanish 1 which was a class that we both shared. People always joked that I was the teacher's pet because I was Hispanic and already knew almost everything but I hadn't really been taught much Spanish growing up.

I helped Mick bring up his grade from failing to a sturdy B, which he was thoroughly excited about. It was around our one month anniversary that we had our first kiss and I was happy about it but in all honesty I couldn't help but imagine that I was drowning. He was one of those. He slobbered but he was tender and sweet to me so I didn't really mind. He was my first boyfriend after all. Not my first kiss per say because there was that one boy, Trey, in second grade that kissed me on a dare. But did he really count? I did have a huge crush on him until he moved away, so I would say yes.

I always sat with Mia at the popular table, which was filled with the jocks and cheerleaders. Alicia Overton always sat across from Mick and I and she was really sweet to me. Almost too sweet, as Mia would point out at my house later. I never really knew why but I felt she was right on that account. Alicia had this false demeanor about herself, like she was trying too hard to be kind to me. Rumor was that she had a thing for Mick but he lost interest in her when I came along. I would be left to think that if that really was true, wouldn't she be rude to me, at least a little? Like a mean girl would.

Even though I was dating Mick, guys would still flirt with me when he wasn't around and I thought it was cute but I cared for Mick and I respected the fact that he was my boyfriend. I wouldn't do anything to hurt him like that. I got a lot of attention being his girl but not all attention is good. I would hear things about Mick, things that weren't always good for a girlfriend to hear.
