Never Be

chapter 1

Analiah's POV:

"Please welcome Kole Waters to our class. Most of you already know him though," my homeroom teacher Mrs. Birch says. Just great! Kole's in my homeroom! "There's one seat by Anailah Lowe or Molly Harrison," Mrs. Birch says. I look at Molly and she raises her eyebrows. "Raise your hands girls," Birch says. We both raise our hands and Kole walks in my direction. Great... "Hey I'm Kole," he tells me. I smile and introduce myself. "I had a friend name Analiah once," he states "Cool?" I say unsure of what my response should be. He just keeps talking like we've known each other forever. I mean we have, but we lost all sorts of contact back in Freshman year... "If you don't mind math is my worst subject, so can you kindly stop talking?" I ask slightly pissed. "Oh yeah sure. Sorry," he says than pipes down.

The bell rings and I jump up and leave. Molly strolls out laughing her ass off. "You told him off!" she says from me proving why the answer he chose was wrong. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I slap whoever it is. "Ow!" the voice says. I turn around and see Kole. "I thought you sucked at math miss smart ass," He says. "No offence, but you don't know me. Why are you acting like we've been friends since we were in diapers?" I ask. "You remind me of my best friend, Analiah. She moved I think. Or i pissed her off so much she lost contact," he says. " I miss her though. I wonder what happened to her," he continues. "Oh," is all I can manage. "So, what's your next class?" Molly asks him. "Uhh Carter," he says. "I have him next!" I say. "Cool, can I see your schedule?" he asks. I nod and hand it to him. "Birch, Carter, Waters, Swanson, Marcos, Lunch, Wilson, Dean, and Klar," he says aloud. "Yes. Thank you so much for reading my schedule. I appreciate it," i say sarcastically. "Well that's my schedule as well except for Klar I have Lanoue that class for football ," he says and I just stare at him. "Are you related to Mr. Waters?" Molly asks and I groan. "Yeah. He's my older brother," Kole says. "Well your older brother is hot," Molly says and i laugh and roll my eyes. "I'll make sure to tell him Molly," he says. "Thanks. Molly Harrison, he should know me," She says with a smile and walks off. "Well she's something," he says. "Damn straight," I say and we both start to laugh. It feels like 6th grade again, when we would just talk and I wouldn't have to censor myself to not say something stupid because I liked him. I mean I still do, kinda sad actulally. I didn't like him through the whole 7th to 12th though. It's been on and off.

6th grade:

"Kole!" I scream at my best friend. "What Ana?" he asks with a smug grin on his stupid face. "You can't aim at me! You have to aim at Molly or Jay!" I say. It's currently summer , we're about to go into 6th grade, and Molly, Kole and Jalin are over at my house and we're playing with Nerf guns. Its me and Kole against Molly and Jalin , and Kole just shot me. "I'm out of ammo!" Jay yells. "Me too!" Molly screams. Kole looks at me and smiles "Attack!" he screeches. I laugh as I shoot the crap out of Molly and Jalin.

"We win!" Kole says and embraces me.
Present:
"Ana?" I hear next to me. "Yeah?" I ask. "Are you okay?" Kole ask me and I nod. "Anyway, were you even listening to Mr. Carter?" he inquires. "Yes...no," I say with a smile. It's much easier talking to him when he doesn't have a clue who I am. Or he does and I don't give him enough credit. Nah that can't be it!
Kole's POV:
"Well all he said was that since school just started we'll have an introduction project," I say. "Oh goody, because I'm so good at that!" She says sarcastically. I roll my eyes and continue "Anyway we have to include our hobbies, passions, weird fetishes," I say with a smile. "Did you just quote The Fault in Our Stars?" She asks surprised. "Maybe," I say failing at trying to be mysterious. She laughs and exclaims "Finally! A guy who reads good books!" She says with a smile plastered across her face. For some reason it's so easy talking to her. Unlike most girls who just are fake and annoying.
