"Hi, Mrs. Gemoets." Heather said.
"Hey, Heather." she replied.
"Where's my schedule?" Heather asked.
"Gimme a minute, I'll find it." Mrs. G said.
Heather nodded and looked around. Then, she spotted me.
"Oh, hi Summer." she said, acting disgusted.
"Hey." I said plainly. Before the awkward conversation could continue, Mrs. G. thankfully found Heather's schedule. Heather fake-smiled and left the office.
"That girl disgusts me." I cringed.
"I know. Anyways, here's your schedule, but I also have something else for you." she said as she handed me my schedule. I was hoping for chips or candy or something. Instead, she pulled out a pink piece of paper and handed it to me.
"You want me to go to therapy?" I asked as I read the paper.
"Now, I know you're not very open about your problems, but your high school years are almost over. You have to find a way to solve your problems in order to move on and be successful. Besides, Delilah would want you to be happy." she said politely. Delilah. I hated when people said her name. It was bad enough that people even brought up my mom, but hearing her name reminded me of her even more.
"I'll think about it." I said. We smiled briefly at each other before I grabbed my stuff and headed towards my first period. I stared at the ground while I walked to avoid making eye contact with people. I shouldn't have done that, though, because suddenly I bumped into someone.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." I apologized.
"It's fine." someone said as we picked up our stuff. When we stood up, we finally made eye contact.
"Hey, you're Winter, right?" he asked.
"No, Winter's actually my little cousin. I'm Summer." I laughed nervously.
"Jace Jordan." he introduced.
"Jace Jordan. You're Jasper's little brother?" I asked.
"Yeah, and you must be Jazmine's little sister. My brother talks about her all the time." he chuckled.
"Same. They're always calling each other, and when she's on the phone with him, she acts all stupid." I laughed.
"He does too. I guess they're perfect for each other." he smiled.
"Yeah." I said, almost starting to daydream.
"Well, see ya, Summer." he said.
"Later... Jason." I said. Wow. No one told me that Jasper's little brother was so hot! A/N: Y'ALL! I FORGOT TO SAY THAT I IMAGINED JACE AS AARON SAMUELS FROM MEAN GIRLS! JACE IS IN THE SAME AGE GROUP AS SUMMER! SHE IS NOT CRUSHING ON A LITTLE KID😭

As I was walking to my first period, I saw Rodrick and Heather talking at the lockers. I decided that I needed to avoid her at all costs.
I walked into the classroom and chose a seat by the back. I wasn't paying attention, but sitting there was a girl I'd never seen before. She looked nice, so we'd probably be good friends.
"Hi, I'm Micaela, but you can call me Caela." she introduced herself.🥴
"Hey, I'm Summer Bliss. Some people call me Sum." I replied.
"Hmm... what's your middle name?" she asked.
"Rae..." I answered.
"Then that's what I'll call you; Rae!" she beamed. My mom used to call me her 'Rae' of sunshine, but it's fine, I guess.
