The next day went by in a blur.

There were guys in every single class of mine. Most of my classes were small ones and basic for schools: science, english, and history. With the extra bodies in the classes it seemed as if we were giants being crammed into an elf cave. The one guy I made eye contact with was in one of my classes but, because of his looks, girls were all over him so I never got a chance to talk to him.

Yet I learned a few things about him by listening. His name was Jake. He was a singer, songwriter, musician. He was in my grade, year 10. He also appeared to be the kind of person that can make friends with anyone instantly since everywhere I went I heard people talking about him.

I was at my locker at the end of the day grabbing books and shoving them into my bag in hopes of being able to get to the dance studio quicker. I had a routine that I desperately wanted to work on. Just then Taylor came up. "Hey, love!"she said in her chirpy voice.

"Hey" I said with a quick smile trying to head to the studio.

"Going to go dance?"

"When am I not?"

"When you're hanging around yours truly and Nikki."

"Haha true, well, I'll be sure to just be gone an hour I have a bunch of homework, which means I'll be helping you guys all night."

"Hey!" she said "Hurtful!" jokingly smaking my arm.

"You know it's true" I said hugging her "see you later!"

I quickly dashed down a hall towards the studio. Once there I went to the into the changing room and changed into yoga pants and a loose top. I scrambled back out putting my iPod on the dock, where 'Wings' by Little Mix came on. I got into the starting position of my dance and counted under my breath "a five, six, seven, eight!" and launched into my dance. It was simple but it was quick paced. I went through it a couple more times and suddenly realized it had been over 45 minutes.

I grabbed my iPod and the rest of my stuff and left the studio. I was walking through the halls just about to take the short cut through the band room when I heard someone in there. I slowed my pace and peeked into the room through the window on the door.

It was Jake. He was playing the piano singing 'Vanilla Twilight' by Owl City. I stopped to listen him sing.

"And the stars lean down to kiss you

and I lie awake and miss you

because it takes two to whisper quietly..."

I listened to him sing, because that had always been a favorite song of mine. When he finished I decided if he left within a minute I would go in, and if he didn't....Well, I had not exactly gotten that far yet.

"56....57...58....59... shit." I mumbled to myself.

Oh whatever, I thought to myself, why do you care so much anyways? You have a boyfriend!

I walked into the band room knocking Jake out of some sort of a trance. I had strategically taken out my phone so it would seem I hadn't been standing there, just passing through. "Oh... Hello there" Jake said, smiling warmly at me.

"Hi" I said quickly looking up from my phone and locking it "I didn't see you there."

"Not surprising, you were entraced by your phone." he replied.

"Oh, we've got a fancy talker over here."

"Haha no not really, I just have to have a wide vocabulary for my song writing."

"Ah I see, so is that who I heard singing?"

"Well, seeing as I'm the only one here... I'd say yes."

"Mhmm, cool. Sorry I gotta go."

"Okay, that's fine. What's your name by the way? I never caught it."

"Wish. Well, it's actually Melissa, but everyone calls me Wish."

"Well Wish, I'm Jake. I guess I'll see you in class tomorrow?" he smiled at me.

I smiled back. "Sure thing, Jake."

---------------------------------******************

I strode into my dorm room five minutes later and told Nikki and Taylor what happened.

"O.M.G. You talked to him?? Wish! You ran into him when he was alone! This has got to be fate!" cried Nikki when I walked into our room 20 minutes later out of the shower and in my pj's. I rolled my eyes at her and said "Nikki, it's not fate. I could've met anyone on my way back."

"But you didn't meet just anyone. You met Jake." interrupted Taylor. I shot a glare at her and sat down on my bed. I sighed pulling out my english story that was due in two weeks. It had to be about a dramatic problem in our childhood i.e. family dying, divorce, etc. I wasn't sure if I was going to write about my grandmother dying or my older brother almost dying. I gave up trying to decide tonight with Nikki and Taylor talking in the background and listened in on what they had to say.

"So what do you think about this design?" asked Taylor holding up a sketch.

"I like it" said Nikki winking at her. I knew the sketch she was showing her. It was a simple design of a cocktail party dress that was empire waisted, had chiffon fabric that flowed out, and had a band below the bust. She had done some shading in sea green and used a little bit of glitter to show that it would be sparkly.

"It's gorgueous" I said. Nikki and Taylor both yelped and looked at me, not realising I had been paying attention. I laughed at them while they glared at me. "Shut it" complained Nikki, who was easiest to prank. Taylor had already turned her attention back to her sketch adding details.

I closed the antamony book I had been trying to study for the last hour and streched. I got up and padded over to our mini fridge and got out iced tea. I studied our room while sipping it, and said "We need to do something this weekend."

Nikki and Taylor looked at me. This weekend was the alotted time for our school to go into the city and do whatever we liked. The three of us had been debating on not going but I didn't want to stay on the grounds when everyone else was out.

"But.. But this weekend is your 5 months with Drew!" said Nikki. She was always the one into realtionships but hadn't had many since she had come to the school. Taylor wasn't into guys as much but she knew I had been worrying about our anniversry for a while.

"Well... Drew and I haven't been so close lately. I was debating on breaking up with him but now the guys are here so I don't want to seem like a slut." I said staring at the ground. I heard the soft push off beds as my two friends walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug.

"Aww, don't worry Wish, you're no slut." Taylor said.

"Besides, if he's not making you happy anymore, what's the point of staying with him?" Nikki pointed out.

I smiled and hugged them back the best I could and said "Thanks you guys, tomorrow, I may not have a boyfriend, but I'll always have girlfriends."
