Jennifer POV

I wonder who found out about love. Because that's definitely what I feel right now. It's such a pure thing, love. It can come as an instant, or take its time. It can also leave in an instant, or take its time.

Either way, it's lovely. Amazing. It's a warm feeling, like you're lying down, sunbathing, and the sun warms and melts your heart. You feel young, you feel fierce, and the best part: you feel whole.

But there is one thing that sucks about love. And that is the fear that comes with. The fear of being rejected, the fear of being heartbroken, the fear of judgment. I felt fear. A lot of fear. Mostly the last part of fear. Actually, only the last fear have occurred me in the last hours. It was now Thursday morning, and I was standing in the shower, cleaning myself and my head.

Yesterday was pure bliss. It was euphoria. I still have the lingering of his mouth on my lips, and the lovely warmth that he carried around. The taste of strawberries was still in my mouth.

I got out of the shower, and dried my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror for about 5 seconds, and then proceeded to find my underwear. After that I took on a little bit of makeup; mascara, lipstick and eyeliner. I didn't even do my eyebrows properly, but I hadn't got the time for it.

I rushed downstairs and the smell of bacon hits me like a truck. I walk into the kitchen and my mom stands there, making scrambled eggs with bacon. The smell was lovely.

After I ate, I walked upstairs to get some clothes (I had eaten in only my pajamas). I opened the closet, and the struggle for survival began. After 5 minutes of arguing with myself, I picked out black skinny jeans, a red tank top and red converse. I ran down stairs and got to school.

While I was in my car, I tried to decide on how to tell Jena that I was in love with the person she hates the most. I should just straight tell her, she deserves that. But, what if she will hate me? I wouldn't survive that. I needed her. She has been my best friend since kindergarten, I can't loose her. Not yet. I can't even remember the first time we met. That's how long we've been friends. But still, I was in love, and she must respect that. I respected when she was in love with Johan in 3rd grade. She must respect me now.

Before I knew it, I was at school. It was about 20 minutes until school started, so I just decided to tell Jena now. I found her on her spot in the parking lot, where she always waits for me.

"Jena, I need to tell you something." I tell her, strictly. She looks almost scared, but I didn't really care, I needed this to come out as quickly as possible.

"Yeah, okay, what is it?" She asked as she marked the page she was on, and closed the book.

"Okay so you know I was on a 'date' with Josh, right? And well, it went good. Too good. I kinda kissed him on the cheek. And the day after, he asked me on a real date. And I said yes. And I'm telling you this because you are my best friend and I love you, and you deserve to know this. I like Josh. I like him a lot. Like, a lotlot"

She stared at me. She didn't say anything, which made me nervous. She always had an answer for everything. Suddenly, she spoke.

"I'm not gonna tell you what to do, because this is your life. But if you trust him, I will try too. But that boy is dangerous. He is pure poison. You get a drop of him, and you're gone. But I trust you Jennifer. Just don't fuck this up." She said the last part with a smile.

I smiled, no, I flashed my teeth like my cheeks were dragged to the sides, that's how wide I smiled. I hugged her.

"Can't. Breathe. Need. Air." Jena managed to huff out while I crushed her.

"Okay, let's go inside." I said, hopeful. She nodded, and together we went inside the building.

The smell of different colognes flashed trough my nostrils. It was the smell of school to me. It was now about 15 minutes until the first class began, so I decided to get my books in the locker.

On my way there, I got stopped by someone I hoped I would see today. Josh stood behind me, holding my shoulder. His touch sent a little bit of electricity trough my veins. My blood boiled.

"I was hoping to see you today" he said, like he was reading my mind.

"Ditto." Is aid and smiled at him. The sweetest smile I could manage.

"So, last night was... Amazing. You're amazing." He said, which made me blush like a tomato, "and I wanna say thank you."

I smiled, and looked at his lips. I looked back up at him, and he was looking at mine. I decided that I could not wait any longer. I placed my hand on his neck, and dragged him towards me. He didn't resist, and our lips touched. Amazing. Again, it was indescribable. I loved it. I loved it all. All of him. I don't know if I loved him yet, but I certainly loved kissing him. Maybe I'll love him omeday. I hope it's soon.

The bell rung, and I parted from him, too soon. I looked around, and noticed that almost everyone was staring at us. I blushed, and looked down at my shoes. I tried to blend into Josh, by going further into him. He chuckled lightly, and placed a finger under my chin, making me look at him.

"What class do you have now?" He asked.

"Math," I sighed "what about you?" He smiled at me, entwined out fingers and started walking towards math.
