(A/N: OH MY GOSH I HAVE NOT UPDATED LIKE ALL SUMMER AND IM SO SORRY OH MY GOSH I REALLY AM! I PROMISE I DIDNT UPDATE BECAUSE THEYRE REALLY WASNT ANYTHING TO GIVE ME INSPIRATION! NOW THAT SCHOOL IS BACK I WILL BE UPDATING REGULARLY! YAY! BUT IM JUST LETTING YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE STORY WILL NOW START FROM THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHERE WE LEFT OFF. ENJOY!)
Christina's POV:
So today's the first day of school. Woohoo. My sarcasm should be noted. It's not that I'm not excited for school it's just that I'm gonna miss a lot of people. And by people I mean Mike. Mike's in HighSchool now and we're lucky if we get to see each other once a week, maybe. Now I know I sound immature because I'm only in 8th grade but Mike means a lot to me. He's there when pretty much no one else is. He's more than just my boyfriend, he's my best friend. I know, I know, you're probably rolling your eyes but it's true. Mike knows me better than anyone else and I know him the same. I just don't want to go through my last year at this school without him, but of course I have to. It's not even just that. This year is going to be extremely stressful. I need to apply to highschools, take tests to get in to them, I'm already stressed and it hasn't even started yet!
I walk into the building and go straight to my best friends, well most of them anyway. I see Kiara first so I walk up to her.
"Hey Christina!" Kiara says with excitement in her voice.
"Hi Ki." I say bluntly. She notices my attitude.
"What's wrong?" Kiara asks me. She can read me almost as well as Mike. Well I mean she is my best friend so I might as well tell her.
I told her everything.
"Oh, well don't worry about that Christina! IT'S OUR LAST YEAR! Just look at the brighter side of this!" Kiara encourages me to cheer up. It doesn't really work but I feel bad so I just put on a fake smile and pretend everything's okay.
"Thanks! Oh, I have to go to my locker to get my stuff for class, I'll meet you there like usual!" I tell her and walk off before she can say anything else.
As I'm walking to my locker I notice someone's standing in front of Mike's old locker, which is right next to mine. My brilliant mind decides to say hi.
"Hey, I've never seen you around here before! What's your name? I'm Christina." I say sweetly and shake his hand. Yes, it's a he, I hope I'm not getting myself into something!
"Oh, um hey, I'm Derek. I'm new here, I just moved here last month from California. What grade are you in?" Derek explains equally as sweet. Look don't get me wrong, I know I have a boyfriend and I'll never forget that but Derek's face is literally the face of a god. And his eyes are a crystal ocean blue and his hair is a perfect mixture of dirty blonde, the same color as mine. What is a kid like this doing at our school? Haha all the girls will be drooling over him, not me though because I got my Mike and I'm proud! Haha you thought I was falling for Derek didn't you? Well no, I'm not, but if a boy has beautiful features I will have them noted.
"I'm in 8th grade. What about you?" I reply. I'm hoping he's in 8th too because I need a new table partner and it might as well be him since Kiara and Elysa already have their boys as partners.
"Cool, so am I! So we'll have our classes together. Wanna be my 'seat partner' ? The principal said we have those here." Derek asks me. I guess he's assuming I don't have a boyfriend because that was a quick move but I'm going to say yes because I'm not gonna be rude to him on his first day.
"Sure." I say politely.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Derek's POV:
Wow. The first person I meet and I'm already in love. Well maybe not in love but she is gorgeous, well to me anyway. I didn't meet anyone else yet but there's no way other boys aren't crazy for her. I'll be shocked if she doesn't have a boyfriend. Her dark, almost black eyes, her long dirty blonde hair(the same color as mine), her bright, contagious smile, her everything. Wow I've only said a few words to the girl and I'm crazy for her. Christina.
She takes me to the first class because I have no idea how to get anywhere yet. We walk in and immediately dozens of girls and guys look in our direction in awe. They have to be looking at Christina because I don't really have much to offer.
"You know they're looking at you right?" Christina laughed and nudged me. No way. They can't be looking at me. Why me when I have her next to me?
"Um, but I'm pretty sure they're looking at you so...." I nudge her back and smile. Christina blushes and looks down, shaking her head 'no'.
"Okay class! Welcome to your last first day at this school! This is your Literature class." The teacher walks in and rambles on and on. I don't hear a word she says because I'm basically just daydreaming about Christina the whole time.
We go through all our classes and have lunch together. We ended up with a group project for homework and my group consists of Christina, her friends Elysa and Kiara, and their boyfriends Pat and Shane. Hmm I wonder where Christina's boyfriend is, if she has one?

(A/N: So I know this wasn't my best but I absolutely had to update something! I'm sorry about not updating in so long! I hate myself for it. Please forgive me:( This is kinda a cliffhanger btw! What will happen when everyone starts talking to Derek? What will happen when Mike finds out? Sure, Christina is only friends with Derek but Mike can take things a little over the top after that whole 'Stephen' situation. So anyways I really really really hoped you somewhat enjoyed this much needed update! I promise I will be updating regularly again! Oh and my friend @Ely_maria has a new story and it was dedicated to me! It's a Matthew Espinosa fanfiction and I'm a main character in it! Woah! Thank you Elysa, I already love it! It's called -"Meet Me Over There" but I suggest you follow her too and read because she's seriously amazing! I love you Lovelies!❤️
