*...Admit it. By the end of high school we all want to leave behind a legacy. Every single student. Whether it be throwing the sickest party, skipping school the most or something stupid like never doing homework, we all want to leave behind something... something amazing...*

"GUYS?!" I shout as my friends walk away, leaving me alone with HIM. Great, just great. This is going to be awkward. I turn around and see him staring at me with a big smirk spread across his face. What does he want?

"Your friends told me about you." He says as he approaches me. "My name's Ashton, you've probably already heard of me."

"H-hi my n-names Isa." I say, stuttering. 
"N-nice t-" he cuts me off.

"Yeah, nice to actually meet me." He says with a smirk. "Your friends never told me that you were the shy type, huh."

He just called me shy? Is he okay in the head? "I"m n-not shy!" I attempt to shout but the words come out as a pathetic squeal. What is happening to me? I NEVER stutter!

He starts full on laughing, making me scowl. "I know my looks stun you, but at least close your mouth. You're going to catch flies, Nemo."

"NEMO?!" I finally manage to shout. "Why did you call me that?!"

"Because I can." He says. "It seems like Miss Stutterer is finally showing some courage." He says mockingly.

I get ready to start shouting at him, when he suddenly walks away. "Jerk!" I scream as he grins.

"Seeya around, Nemo." he says, exiting the school.
