Rule # 6

Chapter 1

Jo's pov

I'm so glad I live in California the ocean is always calming to me as I'm waiting for Mercy to join me to discuss upcoming plans for the Fall carnival I notice Hero out boogie boarding with his friend Felix. Damn he's hot too bad he's an asshole and of course rule # 6. If I haven't told you already Me and my best friend Mercy are inseparable we were both born on June, 2, 2003 and we're raised like twins our mom's were besties as well and we are about to celebrate our 17th birthday right after school ends. Growing up with Mercy was the best time of my life except when her brother Hero would torture us. He was 2 years older than us but still a senior since they held him back after missing too many days out of school. This year me and Mercy are Juniors and I plan to make this year one of the best of our lives. I see her come strolling over and run to tackle her "hey sis what's up?" I ask her we always call each other sis since we are like sisters blood or not. "Come on rule # 1 remember" I say nudging her. "I have a crush on Felix" she blurts out. "Oh my god for real" I say and then blurt out "Hero isn't going to like that." "Oh fuck him Jo he thinks he's king shit anyways." She says exasperated. I remember all the times growing up sleeping over Mercy's house I would pine over how cute and adorable Hero was. He tried to put on a front as some bad boy who parties, fights and doesn't give a fuck about anyone. One day when I was 14 I was in the tree house waiting for Mercy I heard Hero and Felix talking. Felix was saying he wanted to ask me out on a date and Hero laughed and said "no way dude she's like a sister to me you're gross." Ok not entirely lovely to hear your crush say your like a sister to him and anyone wanting to date me was gross. So I pushed my feelings aside.  But I'm getting ahead of myself let me tell you about me and Mercy's rules we had made up our rules when we were 7. #1 always tell your bestie the truth,#2 Never fight or be attracted to the same guy,#3 always be happy for your besties successes,# 4 always stay with your bestie at parties and never let her like a dumb boy, #5 no secrets between each other and no one can know our secrets,# 6 no dating a family member of said bestie, #7 if your mad at your bestie give them ice cream to apologize,#8 don't let your bestie dress stupidly, #9 always love your bestie even when she steals your Barbie's and last but certainly not least #10 If you can't tell your bestie something then you probably shouldn't be doing it. After talking with Mercy and enjoying the last day of summer I took my shirt off to catch a little tan when all of a sudden a soccer ball hit me in my gut "what the fuck" I yell and then see Hero and Felix laughing. "Fuck you Hero" I yell tossing the ball back. "Hey Josephine when you get the boobs" Felix yells over and my cheeks flame in embarrasment  I see Hero scowl and punch Felix in the arm so I quickly put my shirt back on. Mercy looks upset but I remind her of rule # 2 and say "I do not like Felix like that." I change the topic asking her what we should do for the Fall carnival fundraiser and she says "how about a kissing booth?" "For real how ironic two girls who haven't been kissed running a kissing booth" I say laughing. "Hero is throwing a back to school pool party on Friday he told me not to be around but fuck him it's my house too feel like crashing the night" she ask mischievously. "Anything to ruin Hero's night" I say grinning. We walk home and say our goodbyes and then I walk back the few blocks to my house. I'm reading a funny text from Mercy saying "down with Hero fuck him and his little friend too." As im laughing I bump into someone "oh shit my bad sorry" I say looking up Hero is standing over me and says "What's the matter Josephine can't walk and chew at the same time." He knows I hate being called Josephine except when it's him but I'll never admit to that.  "Oh it's just you. Well then fuck off see ya at school or at your party this weekend" I say continuing to walk home. "You are not invited" he yells at me. "And you are not my boss Hero" I yell back flipping him off. What a fucking douche bag the only good quality about him is his hot ass body, gorgeous face, dimples and don't even get me started on his captivating greenish-blue eyes. I keep chanting rule # 6 and he's an asshole all the way up to my room. I flop on my bed and let out an exasperated sigh hopefully I'll kiss someone Friday so I don't feel like a total loser running a kissing booth before ever even having a first kiss. I eat dinner with my mom and dad and then go take a shower and put on a t shirt and then slip into bed. Tomorrow is the first day of Junior year and I'm looking forward to it for once this feels likes my year.
