Chapter 1: new kid

"OMG look at that new kid he's sitting all alone" my best friend Shay says

"What a loser" A girl in my group says. Damn she's the most annoying

" I think he just needs a friend" I said so I gather my lunch tray and walk over to sit by him.

"What's your name?" I say as I sit across from him. He rolls his eyes and continues eating.

"So you're new here a-" I try to finish but he interrupts.

"I know you're trying to be nice, but you can go sit by your friends" He points over to my table right in the center of the room.

"Nah, I don't wanna" I say winking. I expected him to smile, because any boy would die just to have me look at him, but instead he sighs.

"So why are you here?" He says

I smirk. "Well I thought maybe we could be friends?" I say

He gets up and throws his plate away leaving me alone at a school table for the first time in the whole ten years I've been in school.

Today is Saturday and I'm walking through the mall with Shay.

"Look at that hot guy over there,

Going into Zumiez" Shay says

"Yeah, he's pretty cute..."

"WHAT?! Pretty cute? Usually you'd go and talk to him. What is up with you Ali? " She says

I just sigh still thinking about that new kid. I think his name was Justin, but I'm not positive...before I can finish thinking Shay, being herself, pulled me over into Aeropostale. Where we tried on and got all the clothes we wanted, our parents are rich.

"Are you coming to cheer practice or not?" Shay says knowing I want to quit

"Idk I really wanna quit. Cover for me?" I ask and of course she agrees

When I get home I decided to take a walk down my street to get fresh air. That's when I see Justin.

"Hey what are you doing around here?" I said

"Going to the skate park, now if you w-"

I cut Justin off.

"So I was thinking maybe we could hang out and you teach me how to skate?" I ask with my big blue puppy dog eyes.

"N-sure I guess." He says trying to hold back a laugh that he can't. He chucked at me and I wondered why?

"What's funny?" I ask

"Well you, Alison Tridale, wants to learn to skate, I thought you did cheerleading with all those other preppy bitches."

Justin's language surprised me. I didn't know he cussed, but for some reason it made me like him more.

We got to the park and every time I tried to get on that goddamn skateboard I just fell.

"Like this" Justin said easily skating around the skate park making it look way easier than it was.

"Okay can you help me?" I ask

Justin holds my hand looking into my eyes the whole time (also making sure I don't fall)

"I did it!" I screamed

"Terrible job Ali" Justin says half-way smiling at me. He looks at me, grabs my face in his gentle hands and kisses me. I moved along with him. He pulled away shocked at what he'd just done. the look in his eyes were like he just couldn't control himself around me or something?

"I just met you I don't even know what I'm doing!" Justin says "I can't be here I need to go"

I look down at my shoes. They're gorgeous, but not even close to Justin. I laughed to myself, then my emotion changed. What just happened? Justin left me. He doesn't like me, because he pulled away. I can't believe I just kissed Justin, I can't believe I let him. Girls like me just don't kiss guys like him, and that's why I had to move on.
