A bouquet of roses,laying on my bed. I walked over to look at them and a card sat right besides them. I was so surprised when I read the card.

Roses are red Violets are blue,When you smile I smile too. I hope I see you soon. Love,Matt

Matt? Who's Matt? I don't even know a Matt!? I didn't think so at least...

I put the roses aside on my night stand,and went to bed. I tried to think about anyone and everyone I might know,and I couldn't think of one person named Matt. I went to bed at around 3:45 am. I just couldn't stop smiling. Even though I had no clue who the roses were from, I just couldn't stop!

I woke up super late! It's 6:30 am and my school starts at 7:15,meaning I only have 45 minutes to get ready! I can't be late on the first day!

I hurried my make-up after getting dressed. I wore a really pretty dress. I'm not the dress type of girl,but it was the first day! It was black lace with an under layer of silk. It was floral and at the bottom,it ruffled perfectly. It was my favorite dress,it was my ONLY dress actually. After getting dressed, I hear my doorbell.

"Taylor" I whispered I myself.I looked at the roses. I heard him walking up the stairs,I hurriedly ran to my night stand,grabbed the roses,and put them in my dresser.

"Honey?" It was my mother. "It's almost time to leave and Taylor's waiting for you." I rolled my eyes and assured her I would be down soon.

Tay and I had gotten into his car and on the way to school,I had asked him if he knew a Matt. He said he only knew one in his fifth grade,but that Matt moved away to Washington. I had wondered about this Matt guy,and why he'd given me roses.

It was lunch time,and I hadn't found Taylor yet. He said he had B lunch like me,but I didn't see him. I waited by the restroom like he texted me to.

5 long minutes past and I saw Taylor.

With two other girls,one around each of his arms.

What?! He hides behind me half of the time I talk to anybody other than my mom.

I can't believe this! He had me worried for a couple of whores!? Okey dokey then..

I sat with him and those girls at the lunch table. He was yelling and stealing lunches. The girls thought it was the sexier thing ever.

I only had two classes and lunch with Taylor. I had all four classes (including lunch) with the one of the guys from the pool. It wasn't the main jerk with the eyebrows,it was the blondish brown headed one with hazel eyes. He seemed nicer than Eyebrows.

He was quiet and shy,not like he was with his friends. Even when he was at the pool, he hadn't talked at all really.

I wonder why....?

I got home and asked Taylor why he was with those chicks at lunch.

"I think I actually have a chance! A chance at being popular!" He squealed over the phone. Why does he wanna be so popular? I just listened to him explain that the only reason he was with those girls,was because they're popular. And if he hangs out with them,them he'll be popular too.

"So you're gonna become popular and leave me? Wow. Thanks,Tay." I joked.

"Noooooo! I MEAN...we can BOTH be popular!" He reassured. I told him that I wanted to be regular and unpopular.

"I'm gonna go to bed. Night,Tay." I hung up and fell asleep thinking about what friends I would make at school.
