Chapter 1

--Get up. Get up. Get your butt up. I keep telling myself. You're gonna be late. I finally decided to get up. Crap. I have school in 8 minutes. Could this day get any better? I ran downstairs to the laundry room, got my skinny jeans and Tee-shirt and ran back to my room. I got dressed quickly and decided to just brush my hair. I ran outside, hoping to see Michelle, but ended up alone. The Tardy bell rings in 4 minutes. I sprinted to school. I CAN'T afford another tardy day. I sped walked all the way to my classroom. I stood at the door before entering and got myself together. The tardy bell rang as soon as I laid my hand on the handle.

"Ms.Thompson. Late again. That's lunch detention", said Mr.Soprano.

"I'm so sorry Mr.Soprano. I woke up late because my...", I was stopped in mid-sentence. Mr.Soprano raised one hand to tell me to shut up. I walked to my desk and sat down next to Michelle.

"Why were you late?", Michelle whispered.

"My alarm didn't go off and my dad left early", I whispered back.

"Oh well. You didn't miss anything. But your boyfriend was asking for you."

"Woah. What did he say?"

"He said meet him at..", she stoped in mid-sentence and looked straight ahead.

"Miche. Where?", I asked.

"Ms.Thompson? Is there something you would like to say to the class?", Mr.Soprano asked me.

"Um..No sir."

"Then pay attention. "

"Yes sir."

The class bell rang, dismissing the class. I caught up with Miche while she was walking to her locker. "Miche. Where did he say?"

"Under the bleachers during math..."

"Thanks Miche! You're the best!" I hugged her tight and walked to my next class. Math.

"Good afternoon class", said Mrs. Sharpone.

"Um..Mrs.Sharpone? I'm not feeling so well. May I go to the restroom?"

"Ms.Thompson. I guess I can let you go this time. Let me write a pass."

"Thank you, Mrs.Sharpone",I said and hurried to the bleachers.

I looked around and didn't see anyone. I started doubting that he was going to come, I was turning to walk back when someone grabbed my arm. I was so shocked when Zachary grabbed my face and kissed me. I pulled back.

"Babe. What's wrong?", asked Zachary.

"Nothing Zach. You just scared me."

"Then let me kiss you." He went to lean in and kiss me but I stopped him. He looked confused.

"Babe Come on. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Its just that you smell like cigarettes."

"My brother smokes around me."

Zachary grabbed me by my back and pulled me to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He looked in my eyes and kissed me. He lowered his hand slowly down my back and onto my butt. I quickly pulled back.

"No."

"What?", he asked.

"Keep your hands off my butt."

"Fine."

"I've gotta go sorry, Zach."

I ran back to class in time for the bell. I decided to walk home with Miche, Zach, and Ashley. "Hey Guys! Wait up!", I yelled. They all turned around and waited. I caught up.

"Hey babe", said Zach.

"Hey." He reached down quickly and squeezed my butt. "Hey! Quit doing that!", I shrieked.

"Come on babe. I'm your boyfriend and I don't get permission to touch your butt?"

"No! you don't get permission to touch my butt!"

Miche and Ashley laughed as my face turned bright red.
