Jess sat at her desk trying to get her last bit of homework done before her mom told her that it was almost time for the bus to get there, so she'd better hurry up. She had been up all night texting Alice, trying to give her advice with her boy troubles. But the goodness to honest truth, is that she'd sick of talking about boys! She wished that Taylor and Alice were better friends, because they could just cry about their boy troubles together. She sighed, she just remembered that she was supposed to stay after school today.........................................................................................................
Jess ran into school and finally got to the lockers. She saw Zeke leaning on a locker reading and listening to music."Hi, Zeke!"
"Oh, hey Jess." he smiled at her,"Are you still staying after school?"
"Yeah. Oh! I totally forgot that you were too!"
He smiled and laughed. He always had a shy personality. Although he wasn't shy with her, he just didn't like talking much,"Yeah. If you want, I can walk you there."
Oh Zeke! He's always so nice."OK! I'll totally take you up on that offer."
"Cool." he smiled at her, but then Kathryn, a girl from their class, walked up to her locker (which is only two lockers down from Zeke) got her books out then walked off. He watched her leave then turned his attention back to Jess,"Sorry, I get distracted sometimes."
Jess grinned,"So, do you know Kathryn?"
He stopped and stood stock still,"Who?"
"Kathryn. Do you know her?"
"Kind of, I mean not really, I mean. *sigh* No. She's just in our class."
"Well, yeah, but surely you must know her a LITTLE. I mean, her locker is only two down from yours."
"No, I haven't really said anything to her..."
"Well, you should try. You never know what might happen."
"Um, yeah. Well, bye!"
She smiled. He had been crushing on Kathryn since the beginning of freshmen year. But he never really had the courage to say anything to her. Then Austin came up. Ugh.
"Hey, Jess! What's cookin', good lookin'?"
"Hi."
"Aw, come on. Don't be like that!"
"I don't have time or patience to deal with this right now Austin."
"Deal with what?"
She sighed,"Just leave me alone, OK?"
Then Justin walked up,"What's going on?"
Jess glared at Austin,"Oh nothing. Nothing at all."
Austin rolled his eyes,"Well, do you want me to walk you to class sweet cheeks?"
No. Actually I-" She started when Justin butted in.
"Can't because we are supposed to take that reading book to Mrs. Lynn. Remember? That's why I was looking for you."
"Oh? Oh! Yeah, so if you will excuse me." She said pushing past him. They ran to the library,"Thanks!"
"Anytime."
"How did you even come up with that so quickly?"
"Because I actually have to return a book, so I guess I was just thinking of that."
She smiled,"Well thanks. I really appreciate it."
