The Flip Over

Chapter One

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-".As soon as I woke up,I turned off my annoying alarm.Oh hi ,sorry, wrong introduction.I'm Juliet. Im 16 and a junior at Royalton High School. Now,before you start thinking that everybody knows me because I'm a junior, well dont. You know that person at every school who gets made fun of or is quiet and shy? Well,thats me! Yea, my life practically sucks. So if you wanna read about a better girl or life, shoo. Well, time to get ready for school. I get up and head to my closet. Its the first day of May and it already getting hot for the summer. Apparently Its 95 degrees outside today, so I choose a t shirt with some shorts. I put on my white Converse and do my hair and put on deodorant and pefume. I check my window and see if my neighbor Tristan is awake. Now before you think Im a stalker, let me explain. My dreamy and baseball-playing crush, Tristan, is my neighbor. You know that hit Taylor Swift music video "You Belong With Me"and how Taylor and her neighbor communicate through their windows? Well, our parents are friends and one time when I went to his house we were listening to that song when an idea came into our heads, why dont we do that too?So weve been doing it ever since. But there is one big problem. He's one of the most popular guys at my school and Im one of the biggest losers at my school. Oh well,it doesnt matter, It will never happen. Before I head to the kitchen, I grab my book. Almost forgot about my friends.My two best friends are Brianna Robinson and Adrianna Taylor. Adrianna has one big brother in Harvard and a smaller sister named Peter and Alysa. Brianna has 2 smaller brothers named Alejandro and Sebastian and I have 2 brothers and one sister. Well one brother. Adrian died with brain cancer. Now its only Me,Andrea,and Owen. I run downstairs in a hurry so I wont be late for school. I see my mom making waffles for my siblings."Morning guys,hey Mom wheres Dad?",I ask her while making a PB&J sandwhich."Oh,goodmorning Sweetie,your Father had to leave to work early.He had an important meeting.",she says.I finish making my sandwhich and head outside.Before I leave,I say goodbye to my familyI hop in my white Toyota and Im such in a hurry that I forget to check the back before I reverse."WOAH!"I hear a familiar voice say loudly.I quickly stop,put the car in park,and I see that its Tristan on your driveway!"Omg I am soooooo sorry!",you say anxiously,"Let me help you up.".I grab his soft hands and when he gets up we make up eye contact.His blue eyes twinkle in my sight as we look into each others eyes.I quickly snap out of it and start blushing."Oh-uh so why were you walking?Sorry I didnt see you I thought you had already left for school in your Jeep?",I ask him.I can see him blushing too as he says "Well actually I-I was coming to your house.My Jeep had a two flat tires so we had to get them fixed.But,the place where were getting them fixed at said we have to wait a week.So,can you drive me to school?Or I can drive.",he says.My heart starts pounding against my chest.IM GOING TO BE WITH MY CRUSH EVERY MORNING?!YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!But of course,I have to act natural." Of c-course you can come with me to school every morning and afternoon for an entire week!Oh god,I made that sound weird didn't I?Im such a nerd.",I say stuttering."Kinda,but its fine.I like it when your nervous,he tells me while messing with his brown hair,"So who drives?I can drive if you want!".Hold on,DID HE JUST SAY HE LIKES IT WHEN IM NERVOUS?!"Sure!",i say calmly.We quickly get into my car and he starts it.Before we leave,he puts on Are You Bored Yet? by Clairo.Oh I forgot we have a thing where we always listen to her.We leave my driveway and head to school.We live about 5 minutes from there,so we stop at one red light.When we get to school,we both reach into the back for our backpacks and our hands touch.When his warm hand touches mine,I feel a tingle.We look at each other and make eye contact,AGAIN.
