"Afternoon Jimmy, how was school?" Mr. Wagner asks. "Good." Jimmy replies before stopping at the door into the back room and turning around and smiling at me. I smile a little before I head for the door. "See you tomorrow Mr. Wagner!" I call. "Good bye Elizabeth!" He calls back before I have walked out the door and down the street. "It's Betty." I grumble. I hate that name...after mom left that name means nothing to me. I stop thinking negatively when I pass his bike. His chrome sparkling in the sun light. My cheeks are heating up after having seen him in the store window as I passed by. Jimmy I let his name float around my head before I dared to speak it. "Jimmy." I whisper. It tingled as it left my lips. I think I just fell for the leader of the pack. This book is loosely based off the song Leader of the pack. Please enjoy!Complete
