8:45

"madelynn. yo, madelynn," i felt laney shake my shoulder. "wake up, the bell rang," i lifted my head off my desk and looked around to see my other classmates grabbing their bags and walking out of the class. 

i tuned to look at laney and rubbed the inside of my eye with my knuckle. "how long was i asleep?" i asked groggy.

laney was one of my best friends. i met her in eighth grade when i moved to los angeles. since then we became inseparable, doing pretty much anything and everything together. we often get mistaken for girlfriends, and laney being gay doesn't help the situation either, but i wouldn't wanna get mistaken for girlfriends with anyone else.

"about an hour. you didn't miss anything, though. all we did was watch videos." she answered as we stood up and began to walk out of our first period class.

jackson came walking down the opposite side of the hall and met up with us. he playfully shielded his eyes with his hand and turned away. i flipped him off as i walked up and gave him a huge side hug, considering it was monday and i hadn't seen him since saturday.

"okay madelynn hi, i missed you too," he laughed and threw his arm around me for a second.

"what's up bitch?!" laney exclaimed throwing her arm around jackson as well.

"nothing hoe get off of me," he laughed and moved away from her. jackson is gay as well and every time me and laney get touchy with him he wants to fight us.

we all went up the stairs to the third floor, pushing through the hundreds of people trying to go down the stairs as we went up. i led the three of us and i could already tell jackson was giving people dirty looks as i heard a quiet yet aggressive "bitch" come from his mouth as some girl shouldered him.

as we reached the third floor, i made eye contact with max, a boy who i seen at the end of my junior year and instantly fell in love with. the last day of school junior year, i was sitting next to one of my favorite teachers and having a conversation with him when max walked into the class with two other boys. they were clearly roaming the halls, but the final exam was over so my teacher let them sit in the class for a minute anyways. as soon as they left the class i asked my teacher if he knew anything about max. he didnt know anything and it wasnt until this year that i found out his name, grade, and even his snapchat. i have him added but ive always been too scared to talk to him first. he was on the football team and was absolutely gorgeous. my best friends didnt know i was into him. they would find someway to embarass me.

laney and jackson took each of my sides and we continued walking around the halls until we reached her classroom, which was right next to mine. she went inside while me and jackson stood in the halls and talked. jackson was in the middle of talking about his most recent dick appointment when my eyes landed on someone familiar. grayson dolan. he was walking with his twin brother ethan, smiling at the people he knew in the hallway, giving a couple other people handshakes.

ive had the biggest crush on grayson since i moved here, and so did every other girl. we've had a few classes together throughout the four years weve been in this school and i have even caught him looking at me a couple times, although i may just be delusional. he was a super sweet kid. really popular due to the fact that he was on the football team, but was really good at not letting his ego get the best of him. i looked at jackson and smacked his arm repeatedly. he gave me a dirty look and stopped talking.

"what bitch, damn?" he exclaimed. "i was in the middle of something." i nodded my head in grayson's direction and jacksons eyes followed.

"he is so fucking hot." jackson said and turned back to face me. "i'd fuck him right here right now."

i smacked his arm again. "hey! back off!" i exclaimed.

"what? its not like youre gonna go up there and make the first move." he shrugged his shoulders.

"i mean you didnt have to expose me like that." i rolled my eyes and he laughed. grayson and ethan walked down the hallway laughing at each other. grayson glanced over in mine and jackson's direction. i managed to force a small smile and he actually smiled back and continued walking into class.

my jaw dropped and i turned my head slowly to face jackson. he smiled big at me and lifted his finger to my chin to try and close my mouth. "that did not just fucking happen." i said in complete shock.

the warning bell rang which was mine and jackson's clue to head to class. "bye jackson, i love you," i said as i walked into my class.

"byeeee..." he dragged out the 'e' as he continued to walk down the hallway and back to the second floor.

i sat down in my seat as the late bell rang. the sociology teacher walked in the door and we began an hour an a half of sociology.

2:15.

the bell rang and school was let out. i grabbed my keys out of my bag and met laney on the first floor. we talked about the rest of our day and then separated as we walked out of the doors since we parked in two different lots.

i sighed as i reached my car, opened my door and threw my backpack into my front seat. i started it, rolled my windows down and began to play some kid cudi. i put the car in reverse and then began to go forward, when a black BMW pull out in front of me. i slammed on my breaks and was about to flip my shit before i realized whose car it was: grayson's. i saw ethan smack his shoulder and heard him yell "watch out asshole" at him since their windows were open as well.

"shit, sorry!" grayson yelled at me out the driver window.

"all good!" i yelled back and put a hand up at him. he continued to pull out in front of me and the both us of exited the school parking lot.

after a ten minute drive home, i pulled into my driveway and walked up to the porch and unlocked the front door. my dog ran outside, went to the bathroom and then ran back in. i rummaged through my kitchen for some food. after finding a granola bar and some fruit snacks, i went up the stairs and into my room, my tiny dog murphy following. i plopped down on my bed, unlocked my phone and opened up snapchat.

grayson's story was the first one i watched. it was a selfie of him and ethan. i held it down and sent it to jackson, it was something we did often.

jackson🖤- hit him up you fuckin dummy

me- haha, youre funny

jackson🖤- pussy

i sighed and looked at the snap again, slid up and typed "hey." i stared at the words for a solid three minutes. what's the worst that could happen, right?

he leaves me on open, blocks me. that's the worst that could happen. i erased the words and locked my phone. jackson's right, i am a pussy.

i flopped over on my back and stared at my ceiling. murphy came up to me and licked my cheek. turning to face him i ruffled his head and smiled. that's when my phone vibrated three times in a row.

"max added you back"

"max is typing..."

"snapchat from max"

okay so here's the very first chapter. idk how active i'm gonna be with updating because of school and i also think this book is gonna flop but idrc i just wanna write this.

it's based off of my senior year so far (excluding all the details with grayson). the names of my friends are changed but all the other details are reflective of my life.

my senior year has been nothing but a cliche fanfic so far and that's why i wanna write about this while also including someone i stan. i hope all 3 of u that reads this book enjoys :)
