Hello lovlies! I just wanted to tell you I hope you like it, and that this one was partnered with @shadowa. Enjoy!
Prologue:
I was 4 when I discovered the reason why.I once asked my parents why they decided to split up. They told me that some people just lose their love and don't want it back. “Why?” the 7 year-old me asked. Again they gave me the same answer, they lose their love. But what they don’t know,is that all the people who split up, never get back together.Never. They live a life of tears and pain.And then, they lose the will to live..
Chapter 1
“You see? You’re all in a daze over that guy! What do you see in him?” My friend Jessica asked as we walked down the hall on Monday morning.Jessica was freaking out over me liking this guy she didn't. Cooper Luna. The most popular, handsome, athletic guy at Red Hill’s High school. My chances with him? Very, very slim.“Well, what happened between you and Heath?” I had to shift the topic from me and Cooper to her and Heath, Coopers friend. That was when Brian and Cat walked up to us. “So, Jess has still got the hots for Heath huh?” Brian teased. “ Oh shut up! like you're ever gonna get Claire? She’d rather jump off a BRIDGE first before going out with you!” Jessica teased back. I tuned out their bickering and thought about Cooper. I thought that maybe there was a way that I could get him to notice me. But then, the horrible thought that he wouldn’t crept up on me. I couldn’t bear that thought so I thought instead about how Cat and Brian would make a cute couple. Or maybe Jessica and Brian? They did have some chemistry between them. Kind Of an on off relationship over the years. It would be sweet if they got together! Just as I was imagining their wedding, I heard my name being called. “Kristy Pierce?!”Woops.”Here sir.” I heard everybody in the room snickering. This time, I actually listened to Mr.Wallner do the rest of the roll-call and announce what the agenda was for the day. If only I could be at home instead of here, where I had to endure the torment of American Geography. If only I could be in a relaxing bath...”Kristy! See me after class.” Man, there goes my chance at winning his respect. Not like I wanted to anyways. See, my family is poor. So in order to get a scholarship to a college, my mom thinks I should win teachers respect. Well, whoops. Looks like thats not gonna happen. So I sit and wait till the bell rings, then I walk up to Mr.Wallner’s desk.I’m ready to get yelled at, but he surprises me.” Kristy, you really need to pay attention in class.””I’m sorry Mr.Wallner. I don’t mean to.”He just sighs. “And I know you don’t. But this needs to stop. I know you mean well, but your grade in this class is failing. If you want that scholarship, you have to work for it.”And this was just the beginning of my worst day ever.
Chapter 2
I caught up with Brian inside our home-ec class. “Hey, get hammered out by the big man?” he asked.”No, he just reminded me about the whole scholarship thing.” I sighed and rolled my eyes.The bell rang just as everyone else got in the room.Then Mrs.Ashok walked up to the front of the class.” Class we have a new student starting our class today, so lets all be kind and welcoming.” She gave a couple of boys in the back a Look.That was when he walked in,and I shrank lower in my seat to hide myself from view. Why does it have to be this one person in two-thousand others?Why him?I would do anything if I could just be imagining this! My thoughts whirled around and around in circles inside my head.”Class this is Cooper.I expect you to make him feel welcome during his time here.” Then she told him to find a seat anywhere. Unfortunately, that ‘anywhere’ was the seat behind me. Luckily, at least I wouldn’t have to see the back of his head. Meaning, I wouldn’t day dream about him anymore! Well, sort’ve.But then he looked my way,and I saw the recognition in his eyes. I realized that this was how I was gonna end up being the laugh of the school. Oh wait, I already am! Two points for the people who are cool, zero for the lonely loser who’s crushing on someone above her rank.Way above my rank. Oh, get a grip. No one’s going to love you if you can’t handle a measly crush. I knew I was crazy for thinking these.Now he’s walking up the aisle towards me.”Hi.” Cooper says as he sits down.”Hey.” I reply as nonchalantly as I could.Smooth, very smooth. Man, I do need to get a grip on my life. “Hey aren’t you...?”He asked as he slid in behind me. Well here we go again. Its always the fact that I can’t be remembered because of my low-life status. Nobody recognizes me as someone other than a nobody whos on the film team, recommended black belt in Taekwondo, or someone who can sing over 200 songs beginning to end, from heart. The next thing he said startled me. “Oh yeah! You’re that Kristy girl. From the film team? Loved your last film you made.” Wow. He does know his stuff. “ When liars love?” That was my gut-wrenching movie about a person who can’t tell the truth because hes cursed, falls in love with an immortal. One kiss breaks the curse, and he realizes that she was paid to break it for him. And, it was his sister who was the immortal. Most people don’t get that part. Romantic Comedy. “Why thanks! I do try my best.”I really do kind of do know how to work this flirting thing. Too bad it wasn’t getting us to the relationship part. Yet. This
