Fiona

We both get out of the car and walk towards the entrance. When we get inside we go our separate ways. As I am walking to my locker, I am thinking about what Ash said about his mom. My thoughts are interrupted when a girl calls my name.

"Hey FiFi," says a girl walking towards me. I recognize that the girl is my friend Annie. She is walking with my other friend Gabbie.

"Hey" I wave at them.

"Ooo, is that coffee?" Annie says and takes it out of my hand. "That's good," she says after wiping her mouth.

"Fiona, what happened to your leg?" says Gabbie

"Webster Dictionary," I say and look down at my foot

"Ugh, that sucks"

"Okay, I have an important question. Who is this boy you been hanging out with?" interrupts Annie.

"It's nothing," I say defensively

Out of nowhere Leah takes the coffee out of Annie's hand and takes a sip.

"That's a lie," Leah says and points her finger at me. "he brought you this coffee"

"How do you know that?" I say embarrassed

"First of all, you just told me and also he stopped by the coffee shop I work at this morning. He ordered two hazelnut mocha frappes. Also, he has been picking her up and taking her to school"

"Ooo, Fiona has a boyfriend," Gabbie says. As soon as she says this Ash walks by and smiles. He runs his hands through his stupid perfect dark hair. My face gets hot and I already know I'm blushing.

Leah, Gabbie, and Annie both look at me with their jaws basically touching the floor. Annie is the first to talk and break the silence, like always.

"He is so cute" she yell-whispered

"He's all yours," I say

"Nah, I like observing boys from afar not talking to them" then she adds "especially when they're cute"

"Your so weir-" before I can finish my sentence the bell rings.

Leah, Annie and Gabbie all have the first period together so I watch as they all walk away. I can hear Annie chatting away from over here.

Annie has always been talkative and extroverted. She has long, thick brown hair that she usually likes to keep in a pony tail because it makes her hot. She actually really cute and definitely girlfriend material but she always says that "a boyfriend will just be a distraction".

Gabbie is very shy but around Annie, she tends to get out of her comfort zone. She has an amazing voice and is the smartest one out of all of us. Her hair is a light blonde that looks golden in the sunlight. Her eyes are a light blue color and she has freckles that dot her pale face like sprinkles. I know she sounds like a girl out of a Disney Chanel Original Movie but she's real.

Leah is Hispanic. She often helps me out with Spanish homework. She has long wavy brown hair with golden ends. She is the least girly out of all of us. And most athletic. Though she is my one and only bestie, I love them all equally.

My first through third-period classes are pretty boring.

As soon as I walk into my fourth-period class, which is English with Mr. Patterson. I spot Ash sitting next to an empty seat. I sit down and wait for the class to start.

"Good Morning Class," Mr. Patterson says in his usual cheery voice "Can you all pass last nights assignment to the front," he says. As soon as he gets all the papers he claps his hands to together.

"Today we will be talking about love, passion and-"

"Sex" interrupts a guy in the back.

"Oh, course Ben wants to learn about sex. He's probably not good at it" the class erupts in laughter and I hear a few people say "damn" in the back. Ben, who is obviously embarrassed, shrinks in his chair.

Ben is on the basketball team. His a meat-head but he is the star player so he popular.

"Anyway, as I was saying" he flashes a look at Ben "today we will be learning about love, passion, and heartbreak" 

 "I want the people in rows one, three, and five to look to the person to the right of you" I look to the right of me and see Ash. We both look at each other and smile.

"That is your partner for this project. Each pair or couple" he says and winks "will go to the library or used book store and find a book of love poems. You will pick six poems from the book. Two about love, two about passion and two about heartbreak. Also, they can't be from this century and the last. So anything before the 2000s and nothing after. Then each person will explain what they think about the poem and then pair will compare"

The bell rings and everyone begins to grab their bags and head out the door. 

"Before you go, grab the paper on my desk for more info," Mr. Patterson says loudly over the bell and the talking in the class.

When I get to my locker Ash taps me on the shoulder. 

"Hey," he says "since I'm giving you a ride after school, do you want to stop at a book store"

"Sounds great. What's your next period?"

"A.P. Math wit-"

"Wait, you're in A.P. Math?" 

"Why is that so surprising?" he asks as the bell rings

"I don't know. You don't seem like the math type"

"I guess I'm too sexy to be good at Math" he runs his hands through hair and bites his bottom lip. As he walks away, I stare at him. Leah walks up to me. We have fifth-period together so she usually meets me at my locker.

"O god," she says

"What?" 

"You 110% like him," she says walks away.

"I do not," I say and catch up her
