The next day of school was a B day, which meant that I only had 3 periods instead of 4. I had History, which was insanely hard, but it was probably because I frickin' hate history. But I had Biology Honors next, and it was easier than normal biology honestly, but it was a frosh-soph class. I walked into class and sat in the back. I was 15 minutes early to class because in between 1 and 2 period on a B day, we have a twenty minute break, and I'm not into socializing, and it's not enough time to go downstairs and play. Wow, I just realized how confusing my school schedule is. Anyway, I figured I would pull out my phone and check my social medias and such. I saw that Chloe sent me a text.

Chloe: Guess what?

Me: what

Chloe: James asked me 2 the Fall Ball!!!!

Me: thats awesome! so happy 4 u gurl

Chloe: we can go dress shopping together soon

Me: not if i dont get asked

Chloe: shut up you will! sorry i gtg ttyl

Me: bye and i wont b asked

I then shut off my phone right as the rest of the class and teacher walked in. We were probably like 5-10 minutes into class when the door opens.

"Mr. Moran, it's nice to see that you decided to join us." Said Mrs. Johnson, who was probably the funniest teacher I know. And of corse, Trevor turned red and replied,"I'm sorry. I got lost. I'm still pretty new here. I couldn't find the classroom."

"Well, that's alright. I won't give you a tardy this time, but beware..." She gave him a scary look and directed him to sit down.

"Oh, Trevor, you can sit here." Said Ashley, who was this super pretty popular girl who went to my middle school. She was super sweet, but really gossipy and flurtatious. She gave Trevor a smile like she wanted something more than just for him to sit there. Gross. There was an empty seat next to her, and Trevor started to walk over to there, but as he was walking, he looked up and saw me in the back.

"Oh, hey I think I'm gonna go sit in the back. Thank you for offering, though." He walked past Ashley and sat right next to me in the back.

"Hey Jessica. Fancy meeting you here." He slammed his book on the desk and began writing notes.

"You should've sat with Ashley. She's a nice girl. You didn't have to sit here." I blushed as I whispered.

"I would have, but I wanted to sit next to you. You're a nice girl, too."

I turned my head and blushed even more. I tried to ignore what just happened and listen to Mrs. Johnson lecture about some weird ass subject. When the bell rang, we began to pack up.

"Wait a second, class. We have a project being assigned." Said Mrs. Johnson," You must choose an animal to do a report on. You must write an essay on the background of the animal and have a visual representation. You can pick up a rubric on the way out. Groups of 2 to 3, no singles. That means you Miss Jessica." She points at me and I just stick my tongue out at her. She's one of those teachers who you can always be rude to, because she always knows you're joking and never freaks out. "Actually, I'm going to assign groups. Jessica, you'll be with Trevor. And Sofia..." I didn't hear who else the rest of the class was assigned to because I turn to see Trevor smiling at me.

"What?" I ask.

"We're partners. I'm happy." He stands up and puts a note on my desk and walks away. I open it to find his phone number and a sentence reading,"Let's do a unicorn!" I smiled and fold up the paper and put it in my backpack front pocket.

I walk out of class to find James standing at my locker.

"Hey, Jessica. Can I ask you something?" He seemed really nervous.

"Yea. Is everything ok?" I ask

"I don't know. I'm nervous. What if I embarrass myself in front of Chloe at the dance? Or I'm not what she wants or expects? I really like her." I don't think I have ever heard a boy sound so fucking adorably cute.

"James, she said yes. You're a great guy. Don't worry. And if you want to impress her, be a gentleman." I respond smoothly and grab my religion book.

"Thanks, Messie Jessie." He runs away to go to his next class. Why he calls me that I don't know, but I guess when you have been going to school with someone for 9 years, you get close.

The rest of the day was easy, and when I got home I texted Trevor letting him know this was my number. I sent a text saying,"Hey its Jessica" and right away he calls me.

"Hello?" I say.

"Oh, thank God it's you. I was scared another fan got my number."

"Oh no it's just me." I respond.

"Just you?" He can just hear the smile on his face.

"Well, I am a fan. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know this was my number." I avoided the comment completely. WHY?! Ugh, I'm not used to flirting!

"Well, thanks. What animal should we do?" He asks.

"I don't know...wait..."

"What?"

"Ugh nevermind. It's kind of stupid." I say

"Just tell me. I won't laugh if that makes Jessica feel better." He said this is the voice a babysitter says to a kid who fell down a flight of stairs.

"Hey, I am almost 15. Anyway, I was thinking maybe a hedgehog, because then we could use your pet as out visual. It' stupid I know-"

"No! That's perfect! I love it!" He sounds really excited, and that makes me smile.

"Really? Well, than this is perfect. We will work on it in class." I reply, hoping he can't tell I'm blushing. I've been blushing a lot lately. I never blush. Is this healthy?

"Oh and one more thing. What's the Fall Ball?" He asks.

"Oh um, it's just a dance in the fall, like in October." I say, wondering if he was thinking of asking anyone.

"Oh. Are you going?" Why did he care if I went?

"No." I say,"I mean, not yet. No one has asked me yet." I tried to sound like I didn't care, but for some reason I wanted him to know that I was available. Ugh, probably just hormones.

"Oh, well thanks for filling me in. It sounds fun. Now just to find a date..."

"Oh Trevor, I don't think any girl would say no to you." I laughed as I responded imagining a crazy fan freaking out.

"I wouldn't say that. But anyway, I've gotta go catch up with the rest of the boys. Hey, do you wanna come hang out?" I froze.

"Hang with who?" I asked, nervous.

"Like Jc and Kian and the 02l guys. Wanna come?"

Oh my God. "Uh, ya. Sounds fun." I think I'm dying.

"Yay! I'll pick you up. Text me your address. And by me, I mean my mom. See you in 20 minutes. Bye!" He hangs up and I drop my phone on my bed. I run to my closet and pull out a casual dress and hold it in front of me.

"Is this 02l appropriate?" I think to myself. I thought so and put it on. I then went to my bathroom and turned my straightener on. I look at myself in the mirror and say," Don't be a dumbass in front of them. Don't do anything stupid." I try to calm down and turn on some music. Of corse, Echo comes on. I smile and take out my makeup. I can't believe this is happening. If he's asking me to hang out, he must like me right? I mean, not like like me, because no one would ever fall in love with me. I mean, Right? I think about this as I take down my hair and begin to straighten.
