Chapter 1

Kate's POV

It's my last year as of high school, I want to be noticed. I know what your thinking,' you're a cheerleader, how aren't you noticed?'. Well I am, but not really. I have never really done anything big. And by big I mean important. I just cheer and I am in theatre. I am in all AP classes, and make good grades. I haven't had a boyfriend since about preschool. I know that the first step in getting a boy to like you is becoming friends. That's how it always starts, right? Like I have never heard of anyone just dating right away, they are always friends first! but I have my eyes on this guy from the football team, he is really cute and funny. He is probably the most popular guy in the entire school. So why would he like me? I'm not overly gorgeous, I am simple; I am not a star athlete, I am just fit; I am not a sports fanatic, I watch dance moms. But he is popular and I am not. the first day of school is Friday. It's Tuesday and me and my best friend Emily, who goes to a different school, catholic school, are at the pool. This song came on "thousand years " by Christina Perri came on the radio. I thought of him immediately! He is perfect. I got butterflies. Emily noticed.

"Hey! What's going on? you thinkin about Dylan, again? she asked

"Is it that obvious?" I replied

"Yea, you're such a hopeless romantic!"

"Are you implying it's hopeless?!"

"No I'm just saying, you are obsessed with him!" She argued laughing.

We started laughing. Emily is a solid 9 on a hotness scale and I am a strong 6. So that's depressing. But she tells me how gorgeous I am all the time and I do the same. Emily and I have been friends since 7th grade. We were torn apart for high school because she had to go to private school and I had to go to a public school. We live near each other in ohio. But it gets hard to balance our schedules, but we find time. We are tanning and as I turn to flip onto my back, I see him.
