I woke up to the defining sound of my alarm clock. I hit the dismiss button and pulled away my purple and white blanket that kept me warm all night. I walk to my closet to pick out clothes to wear. I strip down my pajamas and take a 10 minute hot shower. I get out and wrap my towel around myself and get dressed. I brushed my teeth and hair. As I was getting my shoes on I get a call from my best friend. Jackson. Jackson Felt. Most girls have girl best friends, but not me, girls carry to much drama. I answer the call.

(conversation - bold Jackson italic me )

Hey Jewls.

Hey Jax.

You ready?

Ya, just grabbing my stuff. 

Ok, I'll be there in 5. 

Ok, bye.

I hang up the call, run downstairs to my parents watching the news. Boring right? I run to the kitchen and grab two apples and water bottles for me and Jackson. I scream bye to my parents as I'm running outside to meet Jackson.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Juliana, people call me Annie or Juliana. You must be thinking well Jackson calls you Jewls. Yes he does, but only he can call me that, since he is my best friend. I am 17 and I am on my way to school. First day of junior year. Meaning this is my third year at the highschool. Jackson is 18. He is in the same grade as me and he is kinda famous. We have been friends for over 6 years.  He also just got his license. Enough about me now.

Jackson honked as he pulled up next to me. I got in and handed him his apple and water bottle as I bit into my apple. He played his playlist as we were on our way to the school. Jackson doesn't live far away from me, he is just across the street. But he insists to pick me up everyday. After about 15 minutes of listening to Jackson ramble about going to school and begging to ditch we finally arrive. 

We both jumped out of the car and walked into school. Jackson is like the overly protective brother and best friend combined. He walks me to my locker and walks me to class. The bell rings for first period to be over, I walk out of class and get pulled over to the side of the hallway. 

"Woah! Hey there buddy." I say before I look up to pretty blue eyes. Jackson.

"Hey, girlie." He laughs.

"What cha doing?" I ask out of curiosity 

"Well first asking how school is so far, and second warning you about two boys who are fighting over you." He says and gives that half crooked grin.

"ME!?" i ask loudly. "NO! You must have confused me for one of the school sluts." I laugh while walking to my locker.

He follows me and said, "No missy, it would be you, I even asked them." 

I stop dead in my tracks and turn towards him. "Jackson that's impossible, No guy would even think about me like that. Quit your joke." i laugh continuing to my locker.  

"Whatever. Just a heads up it's Payton and Dylan." He says and walks off to his class. 

I head to my class as well. Gym. Except I can't participate. Why? Well i have scoliosis . Where your spine isn't completely straight. So I just sit on the bleachers and watch everyone. I look at the entrance and see the two boys Jackson said were "fighting" over me. Dylan spotted me and laughed at Payton. They both ran over to me and sat on each side of me. I stood up and looked at them. 

"What exactly are you two doing?" I asked them. 

Both were silent until I acted as if was going to leave. "Well we kind of both have a crush on you." Dylan said hesitant. I just nodded and sat back down. The gym teacher walk up to us and said "Moormier get to the locker room."

 "What about Dylan?" Payton asked. "Well I"'m glad you asked. He will be showing Juliana around the school. Now, any more questions?" Payton shook his head and walked to the locker room.  I gathered my things and walked out with Dylan. I already knew my way around the school, so we just went to the library. 

"So, pretty blue eyes, what you wanna do?" Dylan with his pretty brown eyes questioned.
