Quinn Carter is a sophomore at Northwright high , she's shy and can be a little awkward.
Then there's Lee Smith , her heart stopping ,jaw dropping ,mouth watering Korean love interest who she has been infatuated with since the day she met him . Pro...
"what do you think about this one ?" I ask as I strut up and down the room in front of my friends .
"Ooh that's the one , you should totally wear that one ." Sophie exclaims .Alex on the other hand isn't very excited,apart from burgers , dancing and skating , nothing much excites her .
She's just lying there on my bed head upside down on the edge of the bed looking like a sack of potatoes. "Oh yeeaaah it's great." Bordum dripping in her tone . "Come on , you could do a better act than that ."
"Wow! You look amazing ,There. Is that good enough for you ?"
"Much better." I grin at her making her roll her eyes at me . "Do you really need all this?" She continues " Lee's seen you a million times , he's gonna notice ."
"Yeah he's seen me a million times but never as anyone more than a friend , and him noticing is the goal." I emphasize . "Whatever." She sighs in defeat. "How do you even plan on getting together with him?" Sophie asks . "I'm not really sure yet , but you guys are going to help."
"Why did you have to ask?" Alex smacks Sophie on the arm . "What? I love a good romance story ." "Why can't you do this by your self ?" Alex turns her attention to me .
"Well...you know how I get when he's around me ." I say that last part in a hushed voice .
"Oh God !" She groans .
It's true ,I'm perfectly comfortable talking to him when were in a group setting but when were alone it gets ... weird .I end up tongue tied and begin to stutter out of nowhere . You know how people say , when I'm with him I feel butterflies in my stomach? Forget the butterflies ,I feel the whole freaking zoo .
"Come on you Alex,you already said yes .No backing out." I remind her and she gives me an annoyed look . "I know what I said ,I keep my word ."

"Oh I gotta go ."
"Your boyfriend texting you?" I ask as Alex smirks . Sophie has been forbidden from seeing her boyfriend on the count of him being in college and five years apart from her . She never listens ,I pity her Catholic family for having to endure the bad decisions this girl makes ,but hey the heart wants what it wants.
"What ?" She glares at us "None of you have boyfriends so until you do mind your own business." She deadpans as she climbs out of my window . Alex and I are left laughing and snorting helplessly .
"Remember that time she got the tattoo of a skull and her mom called the priest thinking her daughter was in illuminati and that was their mark?" Alex put in with a low fading tone , she was running out of breath.
"Man she's got one crazy family ." I add.
"Speaking of crazy families ,I gotta head back to mine ." She says grabbing her sneakers from under my bed . "Kay bye ,luv ya" I yell. "I knoow" she yells back as she leaves through my window . "You do know there's a perfectly good door right there ." I add pointing to my door.
"Yeah but this is more fun,say hi to your sisters for me !" She yells as she gets on her skate board.
I swear these girls are going to fall one day and I'm going to end up with two babbling friends with brain disorder. I head down stairs and Fing my sisters already seated at the massive dinner table .
"Mom and dad weren't coming today?" I ask. "You know their vacations end when I leave ." Joan alleges .
She wasn't lying though ,my parents leave as soon as she gets home from New York.They only stay for the holidays or when she hasn't been home in a while and they really really missed her. "Speaking of which ,when are you going back to New York ?" Tracy asks looking up from her phone .
Silence and glaring .
"What ?" She asks defensively.
"If you're asking so you can throw a party again , you're in for quite the disappointment ." She assures.
"What ? I wasn't gonna throw another party ."
"Of course you weren't." "W...I just don't understand why mom and dad won't leave me in charge ."
Joan's eyes fly wide open .
"Last time you were in charge , mom and dad came home to a house filled with drunk adolescent miscreants , vomit and rubber in almost every bathroom and a damn cheetah for pete sake ." Shock was evident in her voice.
"That was a party animal, totally harmless." Tracy defended . Joan roles her eyes so hard I thought they'd get stuck in the back of her head.
"You fed Quinn pizzas for a whole month."
"She's a fully grown woman she can feed herself ." I love it when they banter it's adorable how frustrated they get and forget everything within five minutes.
So entertaining .
