It's 12 o'clock and I have this pounding sensation in my head. Well that's what I get for drinking.

I look at my phone, it's at 7%. "Fuck" I muttered under my breath. Then I looked at my notifications and I have 5 miss calls from my dad. "What else is gonna happen this morning? Afternoon."

I walked to my kitchen and opened up the medicine cabinet. I can't bare all of the loud sounds. Kids screaming at the park, people listening to music in their apartment, dogs barking. None of that is helping right now.

I pop an Ibuprofen in my mouth and gulp down a whole glass of water. I went back to my room to get my phone and I called my dad.

"Hey dad." I said in a soft tone.

"Hey Nik!" I took my phone away from my ear. "I've got good news."

"Mmhmmm and that is." Putting him on speaker phone so I can make my oat meal.

"I bumped into this really nice lady. Actually I didn't just bump into her." I stopped for a second. "I spilled my coffee on her."

"Dad, you can't just run into women and poor all of your coffee on them." I teased. I put my oat meal in the microwave.

"I get that. She ended up screaming at me. But then we had a small conversation after. I apologized and got her lunch and bought her a new shirt at a store near us. She's really nice. So I asked her on a date."

"Way to go Padre." Congratulating him.

"I'm telling you this because we both know that I don't know what to do when it comes to dates. Dressing nice to being nice."

"When are you guys meeting up again? What's her name?" Taking out my oat meal out of the microwave and I stir it.

"On Friday. Samantha."

"Okay on Wednesday we can go shopping or something. That should be enough time."

"Alright Nik. I can't believe I'm asking my daughter about this. It's been a while since your mother."

"Yeah dad I know. Don't forget, Wednesday. I'm going to eat my oat meal now."

"Alright old lady. Talk to you later alligator." He hung up the phone.

I'm glad that my dad found another person, lady, girl friend? But hopefully she is the right one for him.

When I was walking into the school I was on my phone on Instagram. It looks like everyone is getting ready for homecoming. Which I have no date for...I bumped into someone and I dropped my phone and my books on the floor.

I didn't bother to look who it was. "Sorry." I apologized.

"No I'm sorry." The person said.

It was Garrette. I looked into his eyes as he was helping me pick up my things. I put everything into my backpack. Brandon and number 23 was there too.

Brandon waved at me with a nice smile on his face. I did the same back.

"Damn it." I cracked my screen.

"I'm really sorry." Garrette apologized.

"For what? My phone or the girl?" I started to walk away and I heard Brandon and number 23 go "oh".

Garrette followed after me. "Both." He ran in front of me and stopped.

"I'm sorry that I didn't come to you sooner and explain. That's something I don't do. But you are hard to get."

"I'm something you probably don't want." I look into his eyes.

He comes closer to me. "You're all that I want." Then grabs my hands.

I looked down at the concrete. "That cheerleader that you saw kiss me, I don't like her at all. She's one of those girls that love to go up to popular guys in school and kiss them. If I showed any reason to show that I liked her in your eyes then I'm sorry for that too. It was all a misunderstanding and I wish you knew ahead of time. So will you give me another chance?"

I looked up back to his eyes. I could never say no to this douche bag with beautiful eyes. I smiled at him. "Yeah I'll give you another chance."

Brandon and number 23 are screaming like girls in the back ground. "She forgave him! Yay!" I turned around and looked at the both of them. They were jumping in a circle while holding hands.

I couldn't help to laugh. Neither could Garrette. "At lunch meet me here. Right here. Where we are standing." He gave me the biggest whitest smile I've seen.

"Okay Garrette. I got it." I smile back at him. "Oh yeah. What do you want from Subway?" He asked.

"What is up with you and sandwiches?" I questioned. "Steak and whatever cheese. Please make it plain. Nothing on it but the steak and cheese."

"You're such a plain person." He teased. "It's all better that way." I said. "And you should know by now that I like sandwiches." He smirks.

The warning bell goes off. I can't believe that I am talking to him again. I never thought we would've. Damn. I'm happy that Garrette and I made up but now my screen is cracked. I ran through my fingers across my screen.

"Hey don't worry about that. I'll pay for that." Garrette took my phone out of my hand and took a look at it. "Wow what a shoulder I have. It did all of this." He laughed.

"Yeah it's called Gravity smart one!" Coming from number 23.

"Thanks Isaac Newton." He turned back to me and handed my cracked phone back.

He was so tall I had to look up to him as he toured over me. "Thanks for bumping into me. Otherwise I probably would've had to talk to you another way." Garrette said.

I smiled at him. "Of course. Any time." I softly punched his shoulder.

"Hey love birds! The bell is about to ring. Are you guys going to hug or not?" Brandon yelled.

"Alright. I'll be right here waiting for you at lunch." Garrette said to remind me.

"Come on douche bag we gotta go!" Brandon yelled.

"Okay! Gosh Brandon you sound like my sister when ever we are getting ready to go to somewhere." Garrette yelled back to him.

"Your sister is hot though!" Said Brandon.

"You say one word to her I'll kill you." Garrette said.

"Well Geez! Ha-ha I'll see you later then." Interrupting them.

"Alright." He smiled at me. He picked me up off of my feet hugging me tight and let me down.

God he's so amazing.

"Right here." Pointing at the ground. "At lunch, Okay?" He finished up his sentence.

"Okay." I smiled at him and he smiled back and took off running at Brandon and number 23.

"I'm gonna kick your asses." Garrette said as he started to charge at them.

I guess Garrette is really close to his sister. What a lucky brother she has.

"Oh Shit!" Number 23 said as him and Brandon took off running away from Garrette around the corner of the building.

《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《

I cannot think straight. He finally said something to me. He hugged me too. I'm in Biology and all I can think of is him.

Does he even know that I live in the same building as him? Does he know that I went to the game? I guess me and him have a lot to talk about at lunch.

Something hit my head. Who was that? Loren was waving at me. Oh my. This girl.

She signaled me to open up the paper ball. And I did.

Loren: Isn't that the kid who is on the football team? (An arrow was pointing towards a guy who was diagonal from my desk)

Oh it looks like I have Brandon in this class too.

Me: Yeah. That's Brandon. Remember me talking to him at the party?

I threw the paper back at her.

She threw it back.

Loren: I'm just gonna move up to the empty seat right next to you.

I looked back and she was walking to the seat on my left. "His name is Brandon?" Loren questioned.

"Yep. If I think I know what you're talking about then yes I'll tell him to ask you to homecoming." I definitely knew what she was going to tell me when she mentioned Brandon. Well I know what she wants when she tells me a guys name. When she says a guys name I already know what's going through her mind.

"Oh. Yes. You know me so well. But I don't want that with him. He looks like a loyal dude." Loren said.

I never heard that from her before. "I'll just ask Garrette if he already has a girlfriend." I said to her.

"What?! You and Garrette are together now?!" Loren screamed at me while she has a huge smile on her face.

The teacher stood up. "Ms. Rodriguez!" He yelled.

I turned away from her and tried so hard not to laugh. Her face turned pale when he yelled her last name.

"Yes?" Loren answered back.

"I'm trying to read here. Be quiet please." Mr. Nagel's glasses were at the tip of his nose.

"Okay then. Please continue to read your book." Loren replied.

"Thank you." He said.

Loren looked back over to me. "You guys are back together!?" She still had a loud tone.

"We were never together but we did talk things out. Everything is A-Okay." I lifted up my hand with my index finger and my thumb touching.

Her eyes are wide open. "How did you guys end up talking?"

"I was walking into school and I wasn't looking where I was going and I bumped into him. I dropped all of my things including my phone. At first I didn't know who it was until I heard the voice. And it was him saying I'm sorry. I wanted to walk away from him but he explained everything. Well half of everything. Brandon explained the other half at the party." I took out my phone out of my pocket and pointed it towards Brandon. Then showing her my cracked phone.

"Well damn. At least he could do is buy you lunch and fix your screen." Loren was letting her fingers slide across my phone feeling the cracks.

"He is. He is buying me lunch and fixing my screen." I smiled from cheek to cheek.

Loren was surprised. "Okay then. At least he's gaining your trust back. Also mines too. I almost doubted him for you."

"Yeah me too."

I looked around the room to see if Mr. Nagel was walking around but he was at his desk reading his book. I told a nice girl on the right side of me to get Brandon. She tapped on his shoulder and he looked back at her. She signaled him to me.

"Oh hey I didn't know we had this class together." Brandon said.

He turned his body sideways in his desk. "I didn't either until know ha-ha." I said.

"Your boyfriend chased me and Trent across the school twice. We were all too tired to even throw a punch. And what did I tell you. He did want to talk to you." Brandon said as he was going through his phone.

Oh that's number 23's name. I thought I was going to call him that for the rest of the school year.

"He chased you guys for that long? Okay I get it." I told Brandon.

"Yeah he hates it whenever I talk about his sister like that." Brandon took a look at Loren. She was on my phone.

"Then that gives you a hint to stop saying that." I told him.

"I'm only joking around with him. He takes things too seriously some times. He only ran after us because you were there, Asshole." Brandon was still looking at Loren.

I looked at Loren. Then look back at Brandon. "Wow. She's pretty." He is still looking at her.

"Dude stop drooling and go say something." I pulled onto his arm to help him up.

"No no. That's now how I roll." He looked back at his phone.

I put my hands up in the air. "Okay cowboy. I'll just let you go. She's my best friend by the way."

"I'll keep that in mind."

The bell went off for lunch. I tapped Loren on the shoulder and pointed at Brandon who was already walking towards her.

As I walked out of the room I looked back to see them both and I've never seen Loren smile that way for a guy. He's a good guy. He better be.

I went to my locker and dropped everything off there. And began to run to the front of the school. Loren and Brandon stopped me.

"Are you meeting with him right now?" Loren asked.

"Yep." Smiling back at Loren and Brandon.

"You guys look cute together! Wink wink." I said to Brandon. He's a big boy he'll get it.

《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《

I opened the door. The wind lifted my hair back and my dress. I tried to keep my dress from going any farther up my legs.

"Great entrance." Garrette said. He was holding two bags from Subway.

"Why thank you." I said as I was walking towards him.

"So did Brandon tell you what I did to him?" He asked as we sat down at one of the tables under a huge umbrella.

"Yes. He did." I laughed at him. "He knows not to say that to me." Garrette said as he took our sandwiches out of the bags.

I lifted an eyebrow at him. "He's was just messing around."

"I think you wouldn't want anyone to say that about your younger sibling that already had something done to her by a stupid person. It happened two years ago. It all started with the sentence your sister is hot." Garrette explained. He took a bite out of his sandwich.

"Did you ever tell him that?" I questioned.

"No. He doesn't need to know that."

"Then why are you telling me?"

"Because if I end up yelling at either one of them and we stop talking. Then at least you know the reason why I did it."

"Okay. Well guess what?" I asked him.

"What?"

"Brandon and Trent know not to go that far." I started to eat my sandwich.

"Okay Nikki."

"I was at the game." I said. He looked up at me.

"I didn't expect you to be there. But some guys told me that you were there with a friend." He said. He was already half way done with his sandwich.

"It seems like everyone knows me but I don't know them. And they know me because of you." I said to him. I honestly feel like if it weren't for Garrette things would still be just the same. I'd be known as the new girl. I guess I could say it's a good thing for being well known around the school as Garrette's girlfriend. But I'm not even dating him.

"They know you from me? That doesn't sound right from me." He gave out a small laugh. "I just knew you because you stood out, out of all the girls I see." He said.

I took a big bite from my sandwich and it made my mouth full. "You are beautiful to me." Garrette smiled at me. I covered my mouth with my hand and tried not to smile or laugh or else all of the food in my mouth would fall out. He got me at the wrong moment. Trying to swallow my food I knew he was going to say something.

"And you will always be perfect to me. Even if you can't say anything to me right now." Garrette slowly waited for me to finish my food in my mouth for me to speak. I couldn't help but laugh.

He did not just say that. Why is he so perfect? If I could eat in front of him how ever I want then he is the one. And somehow he managed to still get me.

I finished what I had in my mouth. "Well that was embarrassing."

I looked at him and all he did was lift up his eyebrow and smile. "Okay well the girl who I was with was Loren. A-K-A my best friend. I think her and Brandon are gonna get together."

"Brandon liking Loren? Does she even like him? The only reason he would want a girl is if he wants to get laid." Garrette said.

"I had him in the class before this and Loren told me that she thought that he was hot. Hopefully we both know where this is not going to go." Just thinking about what Garrette just said about Brandon, I don't even know what to say about him anymore. Except the only fact that he's a man whore.

"You should probably tell Loren about it. He hasn't had a real girlfriend since like freshman year. But she ended up dumping him for a dumb reason."

"Oh don't worry about it. She knows what's going to be up when I talk to her about him."

"Okay well! Change of subject! I saw you at the party too."

Is he stalking me or just suddenly being at all the places I go to?

I finished up my sandwich and stood up to brush the crumbs off of my shirt. "I didn't want to go at first but Loren convinced me to go with her. I wanted to catch up on The Walking Dead at home." We both laughed.

"At the party you look like a fun person. When everyone was telling me that you showed up I wanted to get you a drink but Trent and Brandon beat me to it. They didn't know who you were at first but when they heard your name they immediately thought of me." He smiled at me.

I stood up and leaned forwards towards his face. "If people hear my name and automatically think of you. Do you want that to come true?"

Garrette stood up and he grabbed my hands and slowly brought it up to the triceps part of my arms and started to massage it. He was looking down at me and I looked up into his eyes. The wind blew my hair back. "I do." He said.

"You don't even know me yet." Taking a piece of hair out of my mouth.

"Right. But I want to get to know you so one day I can finally call you mine." I smiled and I felt like I had to hug him but I need to stand my ground.

"And when will that day come?" I questioned him. "Soon." He smiled at me and slowly put his hand near my butt. I couldn't take my eyes off of his but I felt something being pulled out of my back pocket. Garrette had my phone in his hand.

And he took off towards a grassy area. "Catch me if you can!" He smirked at me.

My eyebrows narrowed together. "Ugh Garrette! I hate you." I smiled and let out a small laugh and ran after him. He hid behind a gazeebo.

When I got closer to him he said in a high pitch tone. "Garrette is not here right now honey. I'm his grandmother. You're really pretty! I'll just let him know that you came by."

I laughed so hard. "Thank you Mrs. Anderson! Your grandson is a good man. But I'm going to go now." I began to jog away from him and I was laughing. When I turned around he was already there. I screamed and he took me down. We were on the grass and he was on top of me.

He held my hands down and kissed my cheek. The bell rang.

"What was that for?"

"I felt like I had to." Garrette helped me up and carried me wedding style towards our table and let me down on top of the table.

"I really like your face. Did you know that?" I told him as he put all our stuff together.

He stopped what he was doing and turned around to me. He came close to me and lifted my chin. "Yes. I love your face too."

"I was saying that to you, not me." I laughed.

"Yeah I know. You're just perfect to me, everyone should know that." He said.

He threw away our trash and picked me up piggy back style. "Why are you carrying me?" I asked him.

We walked into the school. Rested my head on his shoulder. And started to poke his cheek. "Hey you. You didn't answer my question."

"Because my princess doesn't need to walk. You have me for that."
