Chapter 1
If there was a beginning to this story, I would start there, but there isn't. I'm Kathryn Paula Goffe, and my crush saw me naked, his name is Theo Zavier Truman, sometimes we both go by our middle names. No, I'm not a crazy stalker or anything so, let's just begin Tuesday, one week and four days before this so-called 'incident'.
Hudson, Earl, Beckett, and Conrad sit down with me with their school lunch trays, trading everything with me as usual. This time I had two BLTA Wrap's and three BLT Wrap's, Carl and Beckett like avocados, so I usually put some in their lunches.
" Why do you spend money on this school lunches when I always make you something?" I ask as I take out small fruit drinks, the ones I used to have as a child, but their so good.
" Well, your homemade lunches are so delicious. And you made them, so..." Hudson said with a big smile after he takes a bite.
"I wish you would say yes because I wish you would make me these meals every day, morning, noon and night," Conrad says.
"I told you all before, you're friends, I don't wanna break up any relationship if I love someone. Plus, I have a crush." I say.

I sat on the edge of my father's yacht, my back to the hot noon sun rays and feet dangling into the warmer summer waters. I kicked lazily at the swelling waves until they fell below my toes again while toying with the idea of swimming. It would be something to do, a break from the sweltering heat. My head felt hot, the heat sinking into her black hair as efficiently as tarmac. I slid to my side and dangled my arm down to catch the briny water with my fingertips.
The side of the boat was uncomfortably warm and so I sat. This far out the waves had no white crest, no foam spray, instead, they rolled in lazy arcs like the back of a giant cobra. I got abruptly to my feet and without calling out a warning to my Dad, I dived right in. The sultry air was immediately replaced with the cool water of the ocean. Soon my lungs clamored for air and I kicked for the top, quite unaware that the boat had moved.
But I go back down and I come up with a better breath of air. Looking down always there was the Dad's yacht, He must be heading to the shore, at least we didn't go too far into the ocean. I started to swim but the I started getting tired. But another yacht with four teenage boys stops close to me.
" Hey, pretty thing would you like a ride to the shore?" One said.
"Didn't your father ever tell you to have a swimming buddy?" Another one said, they seem pretty nice, but can I trust them? " We won't hurt you if that's what your thinking, I know that doesn't sound too reassuring but I promise, now get in here before you catch a cold," he added.
"Okay... Thanks." I say as they help me on their yacht, one gives me a towel and I wrap myself with it.
" Wait... Isn't your name Paula, Paula Goffe?" The fourth one asks I look at him in surprise.
"Yeah, I go to Daffodil Hillside High, actually, my real name is Kathryn Paula Goffe, but I go by Paula sometimes... You know what, I thin I seen you guys around before." I say as we arrive at the harbor, I see my Dad looking around. "Sorry, I have to go... See you tomorrow!" I say getting out running over to my Dad...
The next day was Monday and they saw me once again at lunch, and two weeks later they all grew crushes on me. After that, we've always hung out with each other, and that's how I met them two years ago.

" Yeah that Truman guy... I don't know what you see in him... What any girl sees in him." Earl says. Theo is the smartest, most popular, hottest, but most coldest person in school. Always gets A's, comes from a rich family his father's a layer and mothers a 'perfect' stay home wife. Grandfather died last year and left him a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom. He only focuses on school work, but no one ever sees him study in school, he only has friends with other guys with good grades, no one ever sees him with a woman.
" Oh... Guys have you ever watched anime and the girl gets married off to some guy..? Well, Sunday my parents told me I was part... Japanese. And before you freak out, agreed to do it! Please don't be mad at me..." I say and I start to get tears in my eyes. Earl gets up and gives me a big hug from behind.
" We could never hate you, we all love you." He says and gives me a smooch on the cheek.
"Hey! That's not fair you get to kiss her!" Conrad shouts then pulls my arm and kisses my cheek Hudson and Beckett do the same.
" Hey guys... you're embarrassing me..." I say as I feel everyone's eyes on me, but then I feel one, in particular, Theo's passing right by us looking straight at me, then mutters something. 'Stupid Idiots.'
"How rude... Let me at em'" Conrad says as the other three hold him back.
" It's fine, I have you guys... Not let's head to class before the bell rings." I say as we head to the next class and finish school.
