I woke up to a painful alarm clock called my best friend, Carmen: Carm for short, who was jumping on me playfully.

" Come on Jennie, get up! We have to meet up with Jax and Lucas and you already know how Lucas is when we are late so get your lazy butt up, get in the shower and let's get this day going!"

Dang that girl can yell.

Carm gets off of me while I groan and I slowly roll over and get out of bed. Carmen picked out my outfit while I went to the bathroom, first to use it then to get in the shower.

About fifteen minutes later that I got out with a towel wrapped around me. Carm throw my outfit of the day at me as I catched them in one hand. I went back into the bathroom and put the clothes on.

The outfit was a pair of black skinny jeans with a plain white over the shoulder crop top with my white Vans.

I put my long brown wavy hair up in a messy bun on the top of my head and I got out of the bathroom, grabbed my phone and charger and we head out the door.

We got into Carmen's old 1995 Chevy Silverado that was passed down to her by her grandpa on her sixteenth birthday.

We were heading to the mall to meet up with our friends since it's almost school and we are getting our new clothes. This was the only thing that we loved about school, since we get new clothes and since my mom is always working extra late every day that she always gives me her credit card on days like this. I'm honestly not really sure if that was a good idea to give us a credit card for a mall but that's her choice.

We were jamming out to some recent pop song as we finally got to the mall. We got out of the car and we hooked our arms together and we went our way.

" So, have you talked to Matthew lately?" Question Carm with her raising her eyebrows up in down.

I rolled my eyes but I went on and gave the answer that we both know.

" Obviously not. Remember he doesn't notice me AT ALL." I looked down at the ground.

Carmen nudged my arm with hers and gently said, " Oh come on Jen you can't possibly think that?! If he didn't notice you then he wouldn't of always look at you at church."

I thought of something to say but I couldn't find the words so I just shrugged and we enter the doors as it slide open for us.

We went to the food court to see if the boys were there and to our surprised they were, note the sarcasm.

We walked over to where they were eating at and Lucas was the first to notice us.

" It's about time y'all showed up. And I thought that since y'all are girls that you guys would be here before us but jeez y'all are what thirty minutes late." I hit his shoulder playfully.

" Sorry but somebody had to take forever to get her lazy butt outta bed and in the shower." This was from Carmen. They all looked at me. I put my hands up in surrender.

" I'm sorry alright, it's not my fault that I hate waking up early in the mornings."

This time it was Jax who spoke up, " It's not early Jen, it's nearly almost noon. Y'all supposed to be here thirty minutes ago." We all shared a laughed then we went to the nearest clothes shop.

The first shop we entered was called Mallz Clothing. Wow so original right? But it really has good clothing. For both female and male.

We were in this shop for about ten minutes and we each found a few pairs of jeans, shorts and shirts.

Then out of the blue I felt a tangle that went through my body. Matthew is here I thought to myself. I started to get nervous then happy. Then it hit me, quite literally. I fell to the ground just like that with no other then the one and only Matthew Clemson right on top of me. My heart begin to race but then my mouth had to speak up.

" So um I think you might of fell."

He chuckled a little and oh mother of God how I can listen to that all day. He turned red and .. wait why is he turning red? Was it because of me? It can't be, could it...?

While I was in my thoughts that he got up at some point and his hand was reaching out for me to take so he can help me up and of course I took it.

Did you know that his hands are so smooth and when he helped me up that I saw the mucles in his arms tighten and wow they are magnificent.

" I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you. My little sister pushed me."

I looked over his shoulder to see one of his sister's who is in the seventh grade waving innocent at us. I smile back.

I looked back at Matthew and we met eyes. I swear his eyes have oceans in them and that's why I'm always feeling sea sick when I look at him.

" Oh it's fine. No worries. Accident's happen. " I smile to show him that I accept his apology.

Why do I still feel his smooth skin near mine? And that's when I looked down and realized his hand was still knotted up in mine. It took every single bone in my body to take my hand away but I did.

" I should go, you probably have tons of things to get done today." Why did I say that!? He will never talk to me again and I ruined it. UGH. What's wrong with me?

I turned back around to get back with my friends when I heard his sweet voice behind me.

" WAIT! What's your name? "

I turned around to see him by my side. Man these butterflies can go away now. Thank you stomach. No? Okay.

" Jennie. Jennie Kelly. And your Matthew right? I seen you around church sometimes."

He did his signature smile that makes every girl weak in the knees and said still smiling.

" Yep. That's me. Matthew Clemson. So that means I will be seeing you around then? "

I smile and nodded. We went our separate ways.

How did I do for my first chapter?
Do you think Matthew likes Jennie or is he just being nice? I guess we will never know until the time comes to revealed it.
Hope you like it and enjoy and don't forget to like, comment and share! Thanks
