We're All A Little Broken ❀ Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 1

• Your P.O.V •

I hopped out of the car and arrived at my school, Burkley High, at around 6:30. As I walked in, I saw my best friend Allie out of the corner of my eye. "Hey sexy!" Allie says jokingly. "Wassup, swagmaster?" She looks at me with a funny face. "Swagmaster? That's a new one." She says and we both laugh. It was the first day of school, September 6th and I wasn't really that nervous. I thought as long as I had Allie, I could survive this year. Piece of cake.

Allie and I talked some more as we walked to our lockers. "Who's your first period?" Allie asks. "Um, Mr. Phillips. How about you?" "Same!" she answers. We both smile and walk to class. I take a seat next to her and I notice two boys sitting together in the back of the class, one with black hair and a hat, and the other with dirty blonde hair. He was kinda cute, actually. "Who are they?" I ask Allie. "No idea." She answers. "Probably new students." She says. I look away as class starts.

I looked up at the beginning of class and saw this really gorgeous girl staring at me. Carter, my best friend noticed and said "ooh, first day and you're already eyeing up the girls, aye?" I roll my eyes and laugh. The girl turned around. When our teacher asked some question about Shakespeare, the girl raised her hand. "Yes, Lily?" Our teacher said. Lily. That's her name. I like it.

Lunch came around. I walked with Allie and we sat at a table by ourselves. We were talking about the Back To School Dance tomorrow, when the two boys from our first period came and sat a few seats down from us. I turned and smiled at the dirty blonde boy. He smiled back.

Allie was walking home while I was on my penny board. We lived two houses down from eachother, so we basically spent every living minute together except for when we were sleeping. We even danced on the same competition dance team together. We noticed a U-Haul truck next door as we were coming in to my driveway. We rang the doorbell and it was the two boys from first period! "Oh, hey.." the boy with dirty blonde hair said. "Hey! I'm Lilly and-" he cut me off mid sentence. "I know." That was weird. "Okay..um, this is my friend Allie. Do you guys need help bringing anything in?" I asked. "No, we're good right now. Thanks, though." He smiled. We smiled back and walked over to my house. The boy with black hair winked at Allie. "Ooh, get it girl!" I winked at Allie. She said, "Oh shut up Lil."

We walked in the door and my parents asked "How was school, sweethearts?" "Good." We both answered and got changed into our dance outfits. We ran out the door and as we were leaving we waved to the two boys next door.

Dance was great. We found out that mine and allies group are performing three of our dances at the Back To School Dance tomorrow. I was kinda nervous and so was she, since we've never danced at school before. But, we are used to performing in many different places, so we were excited too. We were in my car about to pull into our road (it was POURING out) when I saw the black haired boy walking, holding a small puppy under his arm. "Do you need a ride down the road so you don't have to walk?" I rolled down the window and asked. "Uh..if you wouldn't mind, sorry. My dog is scared of this place since it's all new...she got out today." He said. "It's fine. No problem." I drove him down to the house. "Thanks." He said and smiled. "Anytime." Me and Allie both said. He smiled at Allie a little more then got out of the car. "That was weird..." Allie said. "What, the fact that i gave a dude we just met today a ride to our house & you know I never give rides to strangers, or the fact that the stranger wouldn't stop smiling at you?" I said. Allie laughed "See you tomorrow before school!" She said. "See ya."

I went in and went straight to sleep, I was exhausted.

I couldn't sleep at all. People say that if you can't sleep, you're in someone else's dream. I wonder if Lilly was dreaming about me...oh who am I kidding. She doesn't even know my name.
