NOT AT ALL EDITED IN THE PROCESS PLEASE BARE WITH ME HERE

"Oh no. God please say that's not him." I whisper yelled to Lexie and Mark my two best friends.

"Lennie it's him." Lexie said snuggling closer to Mark after kissing him.

"Ugh gag, please we are in a Starbucks." I told them, making both of them blush.

I hid my face from him. I hid my face from his perfect hair, and his adorable boyish smirk. i hid my face from his completely drool worthy abs. I peeked through my fingers and saw that he was walking towards us.

"Kill me now." I whispered to nobody in particular.

"What was that?" Lexie said looking at me with her hand behind her ear as if she was hearing impaired.

"You-" I started

"Hey Mark, Hey Lexie, Hey Lennie!" he said, my name sounding amazing in his voice.

"Hey Jayden." all three of us said in sync, although I stuttered as i said it. His group of friends then walked over to where we were currently conversing, if that even counts.

"Hey guys!" his friends said. There they were right in front of me. Adam, the funny one, Chase the sweet one, Ayden the cute one, Luke the perverted but funny one, and last but definitley not least Jayden, their leader. Jayden was funny, sweet, cute, and perverted. What else could you ask for? he was also a looker.

We all talked for a few minutes until their drinks were ready so we said our goodbyes and they left.. I let go of my breath that i didn't even notice I was holding. Once they were out the dor Lexie and Mark both stared at me blankly.

"What?" I asked self consciously. 

"Ok he's been your neighbor for almost ten years and you still are awkward around him. Hell I bet he's seen you with at least half your clothes off and you can't even have a normal coversation with the boy." Lexie said, loud enough for the old couple next to us to hear.

"Sorry." I apologized.

Lexie, Mark, and I talked for a little longer until my phone vibrated. I took it out of my back pocket. It was a text from Teddy, my little brother. Hey can you come pick me up Len? Thanks! Luv ya :).

I texted back: Yah be there in 10.

"Sorry guys Ted needs me to pick him up. Bye love you guys!" I said as I got up, grabbed my bag, and kissed them both on the cheek.

"Bye we love you!" Mark said as I walked out the door.

I got in my orange, slightly rusted, Datsun 510. I turned the key in the ignition and drove the 10 minute drive to Teddy's school. I pulled up to the front of the school where he was waiting, alone. I unlocked the car door so he could get in. He got in the car, but didn't greet me or look at me.

"What's up?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing." He said, sounding like he had been crying. I turned the car off and truned his face towards mine making a startled gasp escape my lips.

"Who did this to you?!" I questioned, immediatley panicking. 

"Don't tell mom!" he said in a panicky tone.

"I won't, ok? As long as you tell me who did this to you and why. Mom has a late shift tonight. Now tell me who did this to you!" I almost yelled motioning towards his black eye and bloody lip.

"It's fine, I started it don't worry."

"It's onviously not fine! What happened to tell eachother everything, no secrets?"
